Well, shoot! Can you please recommend an "easy" rooting path for me. I know just enough to be dangerous... H

Hello - I have my Asus 173ME MeMo 7 in. tablet on 4.2.2 which has suddenly and out of the clear blue sky lost it's ability to connect wirelessly to anything involving DHCP. I believe the DHCP data has to be cleared as discovered in my Google research. But the tab is not rooted. I explore to...

Answer comes from another forum: Try a Safe Mode boot. Forget it. No help. But... Power down Pop out SD Power up Say prayer Android shows the desktop Settings // Storage There's the Internal Memory restored to its correct position While still powered on, pop IN the SD Another prayer...

Android 7 inch tab (Asus 173X) with 4.2.2. Was checking memory/storage amounts. In Settings - Storage - the first section is labelled "Default Write Disk". I had two choices with radio buttons labelled "Internal Memory" and "SD Card". My finger got too close to the SD Card Button and I...

OK, more information direct from ASUS tech support by phone. Two calls today. 1st rep: Listens to me carefully, politely asks a few questions. Puts me on hold. Comes back and says: Bluetooth in the ME173X is looking to connect ONLY to other Android devices. Use a third party app to...

OK, same here to some degree. I thought it might have something to do with the interplay between the tab and the car per se. But, when the pad's "BT has Stopped", you can't turn it back on unless you reboot. I wonder if Asus intends on addressing this defect? Any Asus reps watching this...

The Asus ME173X displays the above message everytime I try to connect and stream music to my Subaru Forrester. The tab is on Android 4.2.2 on an OTA update. The device and the car system pair reliably the multiple times I've tried to reinitialize the two. In researching this, I find that...

Nothing succeeds like success... Open browser, Googled " Play Store .apk". Find it on some odd-ball forum AndroidAPK or something like that, install it. There was a built in Explorer, locate the .apk, press, answer Yes in install -- poof -- Perfect. Yes, I do realize too that D/Ling from...

You know - I figured that might have something to do with it. And folks really have to be careful here because, right on the side of the box, in bold letters and amongst the array of "features" are the words "Google Play Store". And because this company is off shore no one's being held...

OK, sounds simple enough. We'll give it a shot. And, I'll learn something new in the process. Guess we'll count our blessings that they at least included the browser in this thing. Thanks. H

OK, then once I get the .apk in a folder somewhere and get ES to find it, am I simply pressing that representation? H

OK, thanks to both of you form coming in on this. This thing has no file manager! It only has 12 stock applets out of the box none of which appear to allow copying and installing any app. So if I go retrieve the .apk, I'm going to have to copy it over to EMMC off a PC. Now the problem is...

Here's a first - for me anyway!!! Friend of mine went into his friendly WallyMart and picked up an Xcelio (?) Android JB 4.1 tablet for $49. OK, so the saying goes you get what you pay for. Fine. I looked at it, at first glance it looks OK at 4gB of RAM, SD card slot and an HDMI connect.-...

Hello - I'm on an older un-rooted Optimus-T. I have recently become aware that the "Phone Storage" is starting to dwindle more than I would have expected. Scenario: After a recent factory reset and installation of only 4 downloaded apps, I wound up with 103 mB of phone storage. Pretty good, I...

Hi - On Step 4, I do not have 6 options! I only have 5; they are: Refresh / Compose / Folders / Accounts / Settings. No delete. On Step 1, I also do not have 6 options, only 5 - the same ones as above. Close but no cigar for me I guess. And unfortunately, my meager memory on this device is...
