    Why can't I set up my email?

    Well weird. I gave up, put phone on to charge and went to surf for pc specs after posting the above. I've just come back, turned wifi on and .... got a whatsapp message. Most strange. Anyway, all good, even if I haven't a clue why!

    Why can't I set up my email?

    So i finally have a day off ... yay! It sucks so far because after deciding to try to set my yahoo mail up on my note 3 neo and failing, several times. I now cant access the internet, which means i have to be stuck at home all day. Wifi is on and connected. I can even open the login page for the...

    To 3G or not 3G?

    So after a looooong wait and saving my euro cents ... I finally got myself a grey 16Gb 10.1 at a price I was willing to pay. Went for the no 3G version - charging here is often so underhand I really didn't want to be bothered. Plus my cell phone is driving me nuts so looks like I will have to...

    To 3G or not 3G?

    The past couple of days here have seen prices at last start to drop ... so I am trying to be soooooo patient! Checking today I see they have dropped again .. AND the Note 8 is now about for preorder :D which means if any changes are going to happen in prices, its going to be soon (and will...

    Scratches on my screen!!!

    This may or may not be relevant, but to those worried about the SPen not working well with a screen protector, let me tell you my Wacom experience. I have a now rather old Graphire 2 wacom digitizer. It is a flat surface with a plastic flap thicker than an OHP slide on the top of it. You can...

    Why no interest in database apps?

    I am looking to replace my very ageing Palm |T3 (with its whopping 64 Mb memory!) with the galaxy Note 10.1, largely because I can carry on writing. I have used and still daily use Dataviz Smart List To Go on the Palm, even though Dataviz hasn't produced it for a while. It syncs perfectly with...

    To 3G or not 3G?

    I missed out on a decent price for the Note 10.1 at Christmas ... it went up 100 ? right after - much to my shock! So I have been biding my time waiting for it to creep back down. Meanwhile I thought I had got past my choice making process ... Wifi, grey, 32 Gb (if I can find one). Now good...

    External hard drive, external power, USB 2.0...

    That's a great recommendation, thanks for that. I have heard a lot of good things about the Passport series. But the only WD drive I ever had died very quickly, many years ago. I have been after an ext HDD myself but hesitant to make a choice. When you need one for back up, it ain't no use if...

    External hard drive, external power, USB 2.0...

    I seem to remember that USB 3.0 is required to be backward compatible with USB 2.0, so I would think a USB 3.0 HD should work fine. I know all my USB 2 pen drives all work OK on my very old 1.1 pc, the data transfer is just a bit slower.

    Capital Letters.

    p168 of the GT8000 manual says in the Settings Menu, go to Language and Input, Samsung Keyboard ? To change the Samsung keypad settings, select (gear wheel icon), >Auto capitalisation ● : Set to capitalise the first letter of a sentence automatically. So I guess you'd have to set it...
