Has anyone downloaded the free version of PDA net? Its showing an update for foxfi 2.10. For some reason when I start playing a video on my laptop using the foxfi hotspot, I get an error message it automatically disconnects my wifi. Any recommendations. It never did this until now.

is it this problem?

Wow, didn't know my phone could do all this neat!

phones can do so much more than we give them credit for. a phone nowadays has 4 times more power then all of N.A.S.A. when they sent men to the moon..

I don't know how to post a question on here so idk if this will work but my Samsung Galaxy S3 is stuck on boot loop. I don't know why it wont work, I haven't downloaded or done anything different. Its been like this for a few hours now, I've taken the battery and sim out multiple times for awhile, I've tried to get it to recovery mode but it doesn't show up. If someone knows anything that might help me, PLEASEEEEEE reply to me! Its an emergency! Thank you :'(

sorry for the delayed response. were you rooting it? was it rooted? what phone? what version of androidOS? without information I cant help you, since there are so many different marketers and phone makers out there..

i've lost my check boxes to the left of my mail in google mail for android. About a month ago my mailbox look totally changed and I now have to open each mail individually before I can delete or archive (although there is now a swipe to archive feature that is pretty cool). I just want to go back to the old look where I could click on boxes and then click on a menu item at the top to either delete, archive, etc.

None of the boxes are there on the left any longer, none of the options are at the top to either archive, report spam, delete, etc, all I get is my mail and the only option is to open each one at a time.

Help!!!

Long press a message to select it, then you can select other emails to do mass actions.

did you change anything? ROM, Kernel, add a suspicious looking app? or maybe the phone upgraded?

Samsung Galaxy S3 Android 4.1.2 Build number: JZO54K.I535VRBMF1

Problem setting SMS Notifications ring tone.

When I try to "Select ringtone" all I see are the folders in my sdcard0.
I believe this is because when I saw the intial screen it had two choices: File Explorer and Media Storage.
I mistakenly selected File Explorer and selected "Always."
How can I get back to Media Storage as my default for selecting ringtones?
Thanks. Bob

reboot your router. mine does the same thing. also, if that doesnt work, take a look into flashing a stock radio file again.

an app called splashtop (install it on the tablet and a computer, and then plug the video from the computer to the tv, or use an HDMI cable if the Gnote is capable of it. as for wireless printing, I have no idea.
