I checked and Hangouts says "no defaults set" What app should open when I click on a Google contact? I don't see anything named for that operation in App manager Ian

I want to dial from my s5 phone. I open Google Contacts and click on the contact's mobile number. Instead of the dialer opening or directly calling, Google Hangouts opens which I do not want. I am aware that Hangouts cannot be uninstalled but how do I get the regular dialer page to open...

I thought that Swiftkey was just for phone applications. I'll try it on the tablet. thanks

Why did you consider this unit over buying a Chromecast?

Connert and Muzzy996, This morning I did a factory reset and the WiFi symbol is back and I'm online. Many thanks for your support. Despite much searching I never came across a single posting of such a WiFi total failure. So I'm wondering just what could have caused it. I use the paid AVG...

Cache now cleared, but on reboot no wifi symbol appeared :( I think I have a hardware fault. Is there no diagnostic program built into the OS?

Connert, I'm uncertain what the tablet has backed up to the Samsung cloud. Does it backup automatically on certain intervals? After I do a factory reset (still to learn how to do that) and if the WiFi is then working again will a restore give me back my downloaded apps? Another point is how...
