    After all, I tried the disconnect-the-battery option and my device has stopped overheating! It's been more than a week now and I haven't seen that message since. However, I keep seeing (through "Battery Doctor"), that a great number of apps are running in the background draining my battery. I...

    I've been having the same problem since the update. I use an app called "Battery Doctor" which every little while sends me a message that my device is overheating and I need to "kill" a number of apps. The number is usually more than 45 apps running in the background and emptying my battery. As...

    "DEVICE OVERHEATING" Message and Apps Closing

    I have the same problem. When the "Device Overheating" sign appears, my "Battery Doctor" app, shows which apps have been running in the background - there are usually more than 40 apps running by themselves! I have to push the "Fix" button to turn them off and then my screen shows that the...

    Thank you, B. Diddy for taking the time to reply. I have been doing those things for some days now, but I still cannot sync my tablet with my phone. Sometimes, when I save my entries in my gmail address, they appear on the phone. When I delete them from the tablet, they still appear on the...

    Could anybody help me with syncing my Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 calendar with a windows smartphone? I use Google Calendar and I'd like to sync it with my windows 8 phone. Can I do it without using Outlook between the 2 devices? Thank you for any suggestions!

    battery drain and high temperature

    Thank you very much, B.Diddy! I did what you advised. I also uninstalled two apps (a security app and a weather app) which were the only ones whose installation corresponded with the time the problem arose. Result: everything seems fine since then. Thank you again.

    How can i get adobe flash player

    After trying many browsers in my samsung galaxy 8, I ended up with puffin 3.0. It works!!! It's the free version which offers flash for 2 weeks' trial and then you have to pay 3$ once and for all. It works fine with Chrome, it's fast and as soon as the 2 weeks pass, I'll definitely buy the...

    com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService stopped

    I'm not sure if I have fixed the problem but here is how it goes: I read in some forum that by turning my tablet off and on, or by restarting, the cache is deleted. I realized that I actually never turn it off so I did a restart. When I turned it on again I saw a message that I had successfully...

    Calendar app help

    I use S Planner and I'm rather satisfied by it. However I have to mention that after a factory reset, it was the only app which I lost part of my data from. Also, from what I hear from colleagues, a number of people prefer Day by Day app. Check them out!
