My Nexus 7 (2013) recently upgraded to Android 5.0.1 - then the missing wi-fi trouble occurred. Having struggled with intermittent loss of w-fi, with an exclamation mark next to the wi-fi "fan" symbol, I have now found two tricks that have improved the situation for my device. 1) Change your...

Re: Wi-Fi missing - wi-fi "fan" has exclamation mark (!). PROBLEM SOLVED!!! (I sincerely hope, solved for good.) I changed the wi-fi channel number on my wireless router, and the exclamation mark went away. Wi-fi at home now works perfectly on my Nexus 7. Probably there was a neighbour with...

How do I get hold of the 5.0.2 update? If (when??) my nexus 7 tablet starts to receive wi-fi again, can I request this update somehow - or do I have to wait for a notification to appear? Putting my tablet into safe mode does not get rid of the problem. So I presume that it is not any 3rd...

Re: Wi-Fi missing - wi-fi "fan" has exclamation mark (!). Update on the problem ... Totally bizarre behaviour! Throughout Sunday and Monday it refused to access any data using wi-fi. The exclamation mark remained beside the wi-fi fan. All other wi-fi devices int he house continued to behave...

Re: Wi-Fi missing - wi-fi "fan" has exclamation mark (!). By the way ..... I was running Android 4 with no problems. Then I upgraded to Android 5.0.1 This worked fine for about a week - then the wi-fi refused to function.

Re: Wi-Fi missing - wi-fi "fan" has exclamation mark (!). Yes. My android phone (android 2.3) is fine, also my laptop, my friend's laptop, phone and tablet. My Nexus 7 was fine until yesterday. Since then, it refuses to see the wi-fi. Gmail says "No connection. Retry." Chrome says "This...

Wi-Fi missing - wi-fi "fan" has exclamation mark (!). Suddenly, yesterday, my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet refused to access my home wi-fi. It's been fine so far. But then it stopped working. It appears to connect to the wireless router OK (a Virgin Media "Superhub"), and the "connected" fan...

I found a work-around. In Gmail settings, I un-checked all the inbox categories, leaving just the priority inbox. So all incoming mail goes there now. The missing emails returned, and IMAP all mail filled up with emails. I don't like categorised emails!

My elderly HTC Explorer phone - running Android 2.3.5 - picks up exactly the same list of Gmail emails as appear on my laptop. However, my Nexus 7 (2013) tablet - running Android 5.0.2 - occasionally misses out some of the emails from the list. I can't see any pattern as to why some emails...

Thanks! Nice to know how it now works ..... Is there any guide to the Android 5 user interface? - many things seems to have changed from Android 4.

Yes, it works! Though the icon is very small, and not at all obvious ..... It was far clearer in the Android 4 version! Thanks for helping me out! Can you tell me exactly what the other 2 icons do? One is a crossed-out circle. the other is a crossed-out chequer-board.

My new Nexus 7 (2013) - bought a few weeks ago - worked fine straight out of the box. There was an option to select front or rear camera. Then the s/w upgraded to Android 5.0.2 The front camera is no longer an option. Only the rear camera will work. And the "Gallery" app has disappeared. Any...
