This morning I couldn't the stock email app to check my email. I literally had not touched my phone since the last time I'd checked my email last night, when it worked fine.
After a long process of elimination I finally gave up and answered a text message, at which point the damned Nougat update tricked me into installing it by popping up while I was typing and my fingers were moving too fast to stop before I'd tapped on "install now."
So now I'm trying to find my way around an infuriating new operating system and I still can't check my email. It said sync was turned off, so I turned it on and it gave me some mumbo jumbo about Master Sync and Samsung Cloud.
The end result is that apparently I can't check my email unless I'm on Wi-Fi, which I rarely ever am because 10gb of 4G LTE is plenty of data if I don't waste it on syncing things I don't need, and I can't find a way to change this. Frankly, I can't even find my way back to where I found this information! I also don't want to sync anything except my email. I don't want to sync my calendar, back my private photos up to a cloud server, share my every waking moment with Google, etc. I just want to read my email.
Also, I realize this isn't related to my current question, but how do you turn off HD calling? I'm hard of hearing and the echoing and hissing are so bad I can't make out what the person is saying. Between the phone, the keyboard, the texting and the email, this update has rendered my phone virtually useless and I wish I knew enough about Android technology to go back to Lollipop!
