    Samsung Galaxy S2 T813N w/ Android 6.0 Marshmallow

    I got my 813 yesterday and just went through the setup questions and started using it. I opted not to transfer anything from the previous tablet, Nexus 10, as it was full of first-tablet junk. I was pleased to not find much bloatware on it. I did shutoff the Samsung news page Flipboard, which...

    N7 Dead - Flashing Light

    Just got it to boot up now 32 minutes later. Battery is at 5%. BTW I had it in Airport mode when I closed it yesterday. Looking in the Battery setting I see "Mediaserver" as the largest user of power (I assume that's what this indicates) at 44%, with Screen following at 22%, and Lorex Ping...

    N7 Dead - Flashing Light

    Yes, after having it plugged for ten minutes now the empty battery icon appears briefly after holding down the button for a few seconds. I've had the magnetic cover for about a month with no previous problems. Other people reporting this problem have not mentioned a mag cover so I'm not sure...

    N7 Dead - Flashing Light

    I turned off my N7 yesterday by closing the cover with the magnet stuff-off feature just as I have done many times, and this morning it won't turn on. Holding down the on button doesn't do anything. So I plug in the power cable (it had 75% charge yesterday) and now when I push the button and...

    I see Amazon has the Slimport adapter for $30. I don't know if that's a good price or not. Amazon.com: SlimPort HDMI Adapter - Connect MyDP enabled mobile devices to any TV: Cell Phones & Accessories

    Android and Microsoft MSN/Hotmail/Outlook

    I ended up removing the MSN account in the Nexus email program and using the automatic mode to set it up again and it is now working as it previously did with no connection error messages and showing sent items.

    Nexus 7 2013 stuck in boot up with the x.

    In my case, I believe, I saw a recommendation to clear the cache for the email program to help get it working, so I did that to the Exchange app, but now I think it does more than just email and caused the boot problem. So it was a stupidity issue in my case.

    Android and Microsoft MSN/Hotmail/Outlook

    My Nexus 7 2 locked up yesterday after I did a power off and it would not get pass the X boot screen, so I ended up doing a restore (not sure what the real term is). When I loaded MSN in the email program it worked again (after taking some time to load current emails) showing both inbox items...

    Nexus 7 2013 stuck in boot up with the x.

    I had this problem today for the first time after doing a normal power off. I tried all the suggestions for getting past the X, including holding down the power button for 30 seconds, multiple times. I finally found the procedure below and since my patience had run out I did the nuclear...

    Android and Microsoft MSN/Hotmail/Outlook

    I learned of the issues Outlook was having and that did correspond to about the time we noticed the problem, but with us still having it I'm wondering if it's been fixed or they've made a change that impacted Android. I have tried deleting the account and reinstalling with no improvement. I've...

    Android and Microsoft MSN/Hotmail/Outlook

    I noticed in doing my research on this problem that there were some problems with Outlook about the same time we noticed it, but we are still having the connection and syncing issues so I don't know if that event resulted in our continuing problem.

    Android and Microsoft MSN/Hotmail/Outlook

    A few days ago the default email program in our Nexus 7 (bought 1 month ago) and Nexus 10 (bought in Dec) started having problems connecting with ("couldn't open connection to server") and downloading sent emails from our Microsoft MSN email account. Prior to this it had worked flawlessly in...
