Thanks for your quick reply, B.Diddy. I'm impressed. Firstly, I have lost the Settings icon from my main screen (and my 2nd screen has disppeared with about 5 apps' icons loaded). Secondly, Email Launcher is what it identifies itself as on my device. It's called Email Home on Google Play (my...

I just installed Email Launcher from the Google Play Store on my new phone. It's really mucked it up - I can't even find Settings! Has anyone got a suggestion as to how I can remove it. Restoring my original is probably a hard ask, but any suggestions would help (e.g. I've lost my contacts)...

Changing file association in ES File Manager I have a large number of .m4a audiobook files located on a network drive. Connecting this drive via ES File Manager and clicking on one of these files, I get a list of apps that ESFM associates with this form of file. Unfortunately, the list...

Hi, Recently, several of my 32GB SanDisk microSD cards have been losing files. The space is not recovered and there are a whole lot of files sitting in LOST.DIR with obscure names (actually, just numbers). Not all files/folders are removed - the first ones copied seem always to remain. I...

OK. If you are correct, Golfdriver97, then Android 4.0 (and earlier?) at least doesn't have the Windows equivalent of offering you another app not in its list of known apps for working with a file. Ah well, I suppose you can't have everything - Android 5, perhaps? To answer your question: yes...

Currently, I have quite a number of audiobooks in m4a format. If I tap a file's icon I get a list of just 2 apps that Android recognizes should be able to play this type of file, viz, Double Twist and Sound Player. I would like to add Akimbo to this list as it's my preferred audiobook player...

I have made a little more progress with this issue. I have tested all 8 SD card adapters I have and found that 4 work consistently and 4 don't work at all. I must have chosen the 2 I tested earlier from the 4 that don't work. It's curious, though, that these 4 'faulty' cards work just fine in a...

Well, I have a new USB SD card reader, but it shows exactly the same problem. So, I have delved further: Standard SD cards, 4GB, 16GB - both work OK with the USB card reader. SD card adapter + mircoSD card inserts: 4GB OK, 32GB does not read. Unfortunately, I don't have a standard 32GB SD...

Golfdriver97, Thanks for your suggestion. NTFS and exFAT formats didn't work, unfortunately (I used Windows' quick format facility) - they both gave the same result: when the card reader is inserted it displays "USB connector connected", and when the SD card is inserted it displays "Blank USB...

Hi, I've just joined this forum so I'm not sure whether this problem has occurred before. If so, please point me to the appropriate thread. I have recently upgraded my GT-P6810 to Android 4.0. Prior to this, I have been able to plug in my Samsung USB card reader and have the tablet recognize...
