I have only just discovered Gestures in Android 9 on MI Note 7. I have activated them in Settings, but I am not at all sure this feature is working correctly as I wish it to. What I seem to get is very limited compared to what I have seen in a couple (one in particular) of YouTube videos ----...

I am still unable to access Accisibility

Thanks anyway

ACCESSIBILITY ---- this issue is still present. While I prepare this post on my PC I have an example open on my phone. The app is TT Fast Cleaner which says "To hibernate please enable Accessibility Service" --- the switch to do this opens a page which starts with "The service will perform these...

As I expect you guessed, not only was I able to get a more effective ringtone, at the same time I found where to alter the volume settings etc. So this problem is now solved. I remembered having seen the pages before, soon after I received the phone, so it may be that dabbling with the settings...

Thanks for the replies and advice. I now seemed to be logged in despite previous troubles. My phone is now audible when I do a test by phoning myself---- but what I find is that it is not very loud though it is on maximum plus it rings only a few times before giving up. So I suspect that my...

I have had an account for a few years which I have not used for a while, and now I cannot access it. My name and email are recognised but I cannot get the system to allow me to refresh my password, which is not accepted. Clicking the 'get Password' button just does not work, despite trying for...

One issue I have with my new MiNote 7 phone is that in (bright) sunlight I cannot read the screen. This is especially a problem when taking photos outdoors. Are there any things I can do to mitigate this? I have tried setting screen brightness to the highest level. Are there any other things I...

Thanks. I tried that email address but got "undeliverable" so I will try MS Forums.

My Tablet is SM-T550. No S-pen. I do not understand "a wireless carrier, or is it a wi-fi only device?". I have seen this referred to before so would welcome an explanation. Anyway, I checked Settings again and found I now have 6.1. It had been installed silently and without displaying anything...

Not yet. In UK with Galaxy Tab A.

This thread will be quite useful to me. I am new to Android and only learned a few days ago that with Lollipop I cannot simply move apps to the SD Card at will. So I am waiting in anticipation for the Marshmellow upgrade, as installing / moving apps to the Card or USB Flash Drive is something I...

Am I right in the impression we are in the middle of Marshmellow being rolled out to various devices? I am quite new to Android (Windows 10 is my main OS) and unfamiliar with the upgrade process.I have recently acquired a Samsung Tab A with Lollipop. In Settings it says I have the latest...

The SD Card is listed in My Files with a few system files which dont mean much to me. Some other file managers (not all if I remember correctly) do this to a greater or lesser extent, and I can see and dsiplay photos taken with the Tablet's camera. File Commander is quite good. I expected to be...

Thank you very much for the detailed explanation. I knew there were some limitations on the use of the SD Card but not how extensive they are. Given these limitations it seems somewhat misleading to provide an SD card socket with the Samsung tablets, as presumably if you want the facility you...
