    Budget friendly Tablet advice

    I was able to verify that my old s5e was 64gb. So that is sufficient. That said, the Lenovo Tab K11 LTE is verrry tempting. I also like the Samsung, But I can get a "Refurbished - Excellent" onn. Surf 11″ Tablet Pro, with the 2 year protection plan for $103. Give me your final...

    Nothing fancy. No gaming. Efficient. Reliable. But that 64gb is a factor I did not consider when it comes to apps space. I have a lot of apps, but I don't know how much space the occupy. But I will have the 256gb for everything else.

    The Samsung is 2023. I don't see a version. Does that mean Android 14? How does that figure in available OS updates? Will my old s5e sd card work with the later Samsung? Is the 4gb ram gonna be a problem? I assume the ram is not expandable? Lenovo is Android 14. I'm leaning to the...

    Thanks. Yes, In the comparison chart, it does have cpu manufacturer Unisoc. I'm curious. Does this mean that Octa-Core s just a generic reference, i.e. Octa = 8, and a similar one there with AliExpress. So these entities are just distributors? Should I still be focused on Android 15...

    I purchased this a couple days ago. Awaiting delivery today. I wish I had come here for advice first, to make sure all the important criteria was met. I delved thru all the available devices, made comparisons, read the reviews. I focused on Android 15, ram, 8000mah battery, & Octa-Core...

    Low keypad button tone volume

    When I use this keypad, the keypad button tone is what I would describe as at a normal volume. Not loud, but loud enough to hear it comfortably. But with this interface, the button tones are barely audible I've experienced this on and off for years, and periodically it was dealt...

    Stop google timeline, photo album notifications,

    I don't want to disable the timeline, I only want to stop the notifications. I also want to stop the compilation of photo albums and related notifications. Would that be accomplished thru the Google Photos or the Gallery app?

    Samsung Galaxy s23 contacts app behavior

    I was mistaken about the country code. Here's a sample. Same number, different contact, but contact contents are the same.

    Gmail app keeps opening to other account inboxes rather than the default

    I'll check that out, but is this actually a Google account generated issue? I know, sounds like a dumb question, but I have both the Chrome and Google browsers. Neither one has this account switching behavior.

    Gmail app keeps opening to other account inboxes rather than the default

    To the best of my knowledge, yes. I don't want to over complicate things, but we have to define what "set up the phone" indicates. Are you saying when starting from scratch? I have a replacement phone, which I repopulated using Smart Switch? Does that qualify as setting up the phone? I...

    Gmail app keeps opening to other account inboxes rather than the default

    I regularly have to switch it back to the default. Is there a more definitive way to determine which account is recognized as the default?
