Yes, I did; sorry I haven't posted it here sooner (life went nuts). Anyway: Turn tablet off. Wait a few seconds. Turn tablet back on & as soon as Samsung logo shows up, press & hold Volume Down button (on my old tablet, it's on the right side of it) until "Safe Mode" shows up in lower left of...

Puffin Browser Not Recognizing Amazon Password Device: Samsung GalTab 10.1, Android version 4.0.4. Installed Puffin browser (full-flash, paid version 4.1.2.1212) but when trying to use it to access amazon, it says "wrong password." BUT: the *same* amazon password works just fine on the other...

GMail 5.0 Update Not Working Right GMail on my Samsung Galaxy Tab (10.1, Mdl. GT-P7510; Andr. v. 4.0.4) updated itself to 5.0 a few days ago & the body of msgs. became unreadable; the body would be there for the 1st second and then go blank; header of msg. would still be there, just body of...

Tried it both ways but always get that same endless "Downloading" thing.

Thnx anyway, but as I said in my OP, I've already tried that too, pressing on Power Off button (for several moments) did nothing, Safe Mode prompt never shows up. Oh well, I guess this old of a model maybe just can't be started in Safe Mode, thanks anyway.

Thnx, B. Diddy, but no that doesn't work; all it gives me is pic of a white box w/orange arrow coming out of it, little green android standing next to the box, and a bigger, flashing android with "Downloading" underneath which goes on endlessly 'till I hit Power button; then I get "Android...

Need to know how to start Samsung Gal. Tab 10.1 in safe mode; no Menu button on this old model; long-pressing Power Off button does nothing; pressing Volume button on startup doesn't work either (just gives me an endless "Downloading" msg with the Android icon). Maybe this old of a model just...

Re: Ap news app not working Thanks, another kind member here also suggested the dolphin or puffin browsers; I downloaded puffin, and altho it's slower than chrome, I'm able to play vids and games again just fine. This site and every1 on it are awesome, so much help, thanks!

Thank *you* for your help! (Cool side note: the puffin browser auto. imported all my chrome bookmarks, luv that!)

Wizzrah, u r the ruler of the universe! This site & every1 on it rock! Downloaded the puffin browser (heard it was a little better than the dolphin) and I'm playing games & vids just fine now. Thanks a zillion!

Re: Ap news app not working Taken me a while to get bk--even tho I'm supposedly subscribed to this thread I haven't been getting notifications of replies, sigh--anyway, it appears that the AP news app came hard-installed on this tab so no way to reinstall (without a lot of work anyway as said...

Have Flash Player 11.1.115.81 installed on my Samsung G-Tab 10.1 (Andr. v. 4.0.4). It worked for a while but no longer can play vids/games & the archived Flash Plyr site lists no version of Player for Android later than this one & I hear Adobe doesn't plan to issue any more for Android. I've...

Re: Ap news app not working Um, uninstall & reinstall what exactly? If you mean the AP News app, I can't find where the app is listed (not in Settings-Apps, nowhere) to do that.

AP News app on my Samsung GTab intermittently fails: tapping on individ. Top News stories won't bring up the story (altho other news stories, for inst. Entertmt, Sports etc. come up ok.) Kindle app screws up once in a while & I just go into Settings-apps & clear its cache, but don't see the AP...
