Final update. The problem was on the iPhones. Because I had been an iPhone user previously, even though I deregistered, iPhones that had me in their contacts still looked at me as an iPhone user. Once they deleted me from their contacts, removed me from all messaging threads, and then...

Frustrating day. Spent 90 minutes at AT&T. We went through all the troubleshooting options, including replacing the SIM card, to no avail. I still can't get messages from some iPhone users. AT&T even unregistered my phone number with Apple, which I had done previously. I am waiting for a...

I had one but confirmed it was deactivated. Can't figure out why I can't get text messages from (some) iPhone users. Posted via the Android Central App

I have a perplexing problem. I can send text messages to my daughter's and son-in-law's iPhone 6's but I cannot receive messages from them. I have deleted and recreated their entries in my contacts. They checked their phones and confirmed iMessage and MMS are turned on. Any suggestions? Greg...

I don't often respond so consider the source. Anytime I download a file of any kind, the files go to a Downloaded folder. Using a file manager, such as the SIII manager, I move the file to the desired folder. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using AC Forums mobile app

I think the widget was a default on my TAB 2 10.1. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using AC Forums mobile app

From one senior citizen to another... I installed Kies on my laptop. It recognizes both my Galaxy S3 and Galaxy TAB 2 10.1. I don't plug them in at the same time. There is no doubt that iTunes is head and shoulders above Kies for synchronizing music. Kies is not intuitive to use. Once I...

I rooted my phone and am backing it up to my external card with Titanium Backup Pro. There is a way to sync the backup to Google Drive but I am still learning Ti Pro. I suppose I could copy the backup files to my laptop or to my NAS drive. I use FX file manager and it lets me copy/move files...

I am guessing that notice is to update you to Android 4.1.2. I got the same notice. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I497 using AC Forums mobile app

Wouldn't it be easier to find a wifi hotspot and install the app directly?

Unfortunately, You have to wait until Samsung makes the update available to your phone provider or direct for wifi only tablets. These are customized versions of the Android OS so they take longer to rollout.
