    So many apps downloading

    Usually, updates are downloaded automatically by default in most phones as far as I know. You can disable this by going to the Google Play store > Menu on the left side which is the 3 lines one over the other > Settings and simply select do not automatically update apps.

    Can I get some help with a problem when adding a Google account on my Samsung?

    Re: Problem when adding Google account in my Samsung Hey, Try Display Unlock captcha from a PC - https://accounts.google.com/displayunlockcaptcha and then try adding the account on the phone again.

    How to recover

    My advice would be to backup all photos/videos/music/documents you have on the phone that you'll need and to do a factory reset. This should bring them back. Bear in mind, you'll have to re-add your accounts/personalize your phone again after you do a factory reset.

    Why can't I login to my Google account through my Samsung mobile?

    Try Display Unlock Captcha on your PC, then try reconnecting with the username being your full email address and your password. If you have 2 step verification, generate an app specific password.

    How do I retrieve my archived emails? Where are they stored?

    If you're using Gmail, archived messages are stored in the All Mail label. You will be able to open them and move them anywhere you'd like. You won't see only your archived messages there, you'll see all messages, including ones that you trashed.

    Why am I unable to connect to the server?

    Ensure your email address is the full address, ensure your password is correct (try signing in to your account from an incognito/private window on a desktop machine) and do a Display Unlock Captcha (Google it for a link, do it from a desktop machine, regardless of the OS) Check sending and more...

    Is Possible Gmail Alert with few lines on Locked screen?

    Generally, just adding the Gmail app and your account on your device should do this without additional settings. The push notification from Gmail works identical to the iOS push notification. Usually, when you get the pap and add your account to it, without any additional settings it does just...

    Confused by Google Contacts Sync!

    If it's pulling the old email addresses, then they are definitely in your contacts list. It's best to do the following on a PC/Mac/Any desktop machine: 1. Go to your Contacts manager - contacts. google. com (sorry, don't have 10 posts yet so I can't post links) 2. Find the contact in question...

    Why is it I log in to my Google Play Music account on second device and everything Google syncs?

    On your wife's phone, go to Settings > Accounts > your Google account, then tap your email address and usually there should be stuff in there to sync with checkboxes next to them. You should be able to uncheck email contacts etc from there. I think for the Google Play Music you just need the app...

    Why do the Androids ask which application to use- Just once or always?

    Re: why do the androids ask which application to use- Just once or always? It depends on what you'd prefer actually. If you were new into the phone itself and wanted to test out a few apps to see which one would fit you best, you should choose Just once, means the phone would open the...

    Phone internal storage is displayed to be max 16 GB but only 2 GB are usable. Does anyone know why?

    Definitely useful information, Rukbat, thanks a million :) I also had a couple of SD cards from China and something just seems fishy about them. Indeed, when I plug the damned phone onto my computer even the MTK tools software doesn't detect it, and with the storage displayed being only like 1.3...

    Phone internal storage is displayed to be max 16 GB but only 2 GB are usable. Does anyone know why?

    Hey guys, I just recently got a V19 "generic" brand phone and ironically, the RAM of the device is indeed 4 GB and displays that way, the Internal and Phone storages both show 16 GB. Now, usually I would actually expect the RAM to have been incorrect, not the internal storage. However, in this...
