    New Firmware Update Today - Lollipop 5.1

    YES. My speakers are now crackling and they never did that before. Here's an 18 page thread about audio popping and hissing after the 5.1 update for the Nvidia Shield Tablet. Our problem looks eerily similar. Nvidia actually pulled the update until they could research the problem and thusfar...

    Android 5 Lollipop coming to the Venue 8 7840 Tablet On April 21st.

    I don't see this story as being an issue. Based on my experience with other Dell products, Dell will update this tablet to Lollipop and then be done with it, unless there is a major problem. The purpose of the story is not to rush out a buggy, unfinished update, but instead to promote...

    AndroidPolice has run a terrific story about Dell's failure to update the 7840, as well as their lies and lack of transparency. POWER TO THE PEOPLE! Dell Still Hasn't Updated The Venue 8 7840 To Lollipop, But It Might Happen Soon... Maybe (If You're Lucky)

    Android 5 Lollipop coming to the Venue 8 7840 Tablet On April 21st.

    I reached out to AndroidPolice, who then reached out to their Dell contact. I heard back from them yesterday. This is what he said: "I got a response (from Dell), but they asked not to share it. Basically, it'll be ready soon, but not just yet. They know people are waiting for it." I asked...

    Told by whom? The dell admins haven't even announced the new date yet over at the official forum.

    Apps. We are talking about moving installed apps and games to the external SD card. Not copying files using es file explorer.

    I disagree. This tablet ships with only 8GB of useable storage space. The move to SD function is disabled under Kit Kat. The lollipop build would have re-enabled the move to SD function. At the moment I am out of storage space. Ridiculous.

    Terry at Dell just delayed the OTA...again. 4th month in a row. What a bunch of liars.

    Infinity Watch Face

    Just chiming in to say that battery level still doesn't work for me. As of this morning it shows I have the latest version but I supposed it's possible that Samsung hasn't put the fixed version up for download yet.

    Infinity Watch Face

    What's the icon in the upper right that is greyed out and looks like a newspaper? It doesn't appear to function for me.

    Please fix the stopwatch! The icon vibrates but the app won't open. I've installed and have already launched it with the default launcher. Lots of people are having this problem if you read the comments on the Samsung app store. Have you found a fix? Thanks!
