Re: Camera visual count-down a real pain! OK Got it. I thought you meant go to Apps, not just turn the camera on! Top right now, and doesn't come up without prompting...THANK YOU!!! I never saw those dots before I swear. I looked and poked and prodded to find some idea of what was going on...

Re: Camera visual count-down a real pain! Jheeb, I haven't got that under Camera (apps) At the bottom under permissions, (long list of stuff I don't understand!) it says 'modify system settings' which gives some sort of warning which makes me think that can't be what you mean. No dots or...

Re: Camera visual count-down a real pain! I don't suppose anyone out there has time to make a recommendation? There seem to be fewer alternatives for cameras than one might think. I've looked at the settings for the current one which I see is Google Camera version 2.5.052 and see no way of...

Re: Camera visual count-down a real pain! THANKS very much! ...I didn't know there was any alternative to what was, so to speak, done to me! It was a long shot asking if there was an app!

Camera visual count-down a real pain! Since the last update a few weeks ago the camera now does a visual countdown of 3,2,1 that takes several seconds and therefore makes impossible any spontaneity. Can I get rid of this? Is there any choice of how the camera works or are we stuck with the...

Same here...and now it has gone to 3, 2, 1 on screen and then takes the photo ...not exactly spontaneous! AND how to organise photos is a mystery. AND I don't even know what Lollipop IS. Why do they keep making things worse? Is there some other method of using the camera?

Re: I cannot get my BT internet mail to sync on Nexus 2013 update 5.1.1 It seems to be just fine. More or less as before. Yes I think it was clearing the cache. Didn't seem to want to clear data...went pale if I remember so I went on to Force Stop. Having done that, I went to Email for a look...

Re: I cannot get my BT internet mail to sync on Nexus 2013 update 5.1.1 WOW! WOW!..I think you done it. My God...I can only say that was MAGIC. Thank you. It wasn't quite the way you described it but I did the nearest thing to what you said in desperation...thinking what is there to lose! Mind...

Re: I cannot get my BT internet mail to sync on Nexus 2013 update 5.1.1 I still have icons for Email and Gmail separately on my screen but both lead to the same place, effectively the Gmail app. which now has two sections so you can click on your btinternet address and see as described...

I cannot get my BT internet mail to sync on Nexus 2013 update 5.1.1 I am trying to get my BTinternet mail through on Nexus 7 2013 subsequent to an update on which stated that it was ‘merging email’ and after which the battery was suddenly draining very fast. Then there was another update that...

Thanks, I will bear that in mind ...if I ever get my email back!

Soapm, 'Doesn't it depend on how many mailboxes and how much mail you get? Not too mention how often you have it set to poll. ' I am just a civilian so information is gleaned where I can...what I gather from your comment is that the length of time you set the Sync for incoming emails has an...

Klobkelosh,, I have re-established gmail (NEW account because I couldn't remember old password) which as far as I can make out is the portal through which all email has to come. That I could use, but don't want to as I only want one email address. I also established my btinternet...

Klobkelosh, For the record I took the Email (only email) back to Factory setting and haven’t yet re-established it (due to not knowing how! and lost passwords!). But clearly email is the problem as that seems a normal expectation of battery use ...I presume? 9pm 82% 11 pm 78% 9.30 am...

Er...thanks...a bit daunting but good to be told the truth. I am surprised Android can't invent an App called Sleuth! (Get on with it Android!) I would happily pay for it! All the above is a nightmare for an ordinary punter. I certainly can't remember how I set up email ...I think someone did...
