Mine has arrived too - I also declined to take part in the sharing

The program (Whatsapp) is the same in all versions of Android, and shows the same information in all versions of Android, and it is the app that should have the option to opt out.

From the article I understood that you had to accept their new terms but could then opt out of the sharing within 30 days - but the option does not appear in the latest version of whatsapp released on 15th August (the Android version is not relevant as it's the app controlling it). - that's the...

Whatsapp have apparently changed their terms and conditions to allow them to share phone numbers of users with Facebook, and to allow ads to be sent to users. They say that you can opt out - see this page https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/general/26000016 - but that option does not appear in my...

Thanks BD - I do find it strange that the devic was listed on my Google account as soon as I installe PlayStore and logged in, and PlayStore and works - until I try and download/install an app. I'll try and find the apk and try it.

I recently purchased an android device for my car. It is a Chinese product which has a dashcam and satnav built in to a rearview mirror. It came without Google play installed, so I downloaded the play APK V5.12.9 from APK Mirror and installed it. When I first ran Play it asked me to sign in and...

I have found the answer to my issue. I installed this app to sync with my Owncloud calendar. This syncs the ToDo items as well as the events - unlike the other caldav clients I tried. To display the tasks on the tablet/phone I then installed this app. So problem solved. There is also this...

Sorry- should have been clearer. Glad you found something of use from trying to help though.

Thanks B.Diddy. As mentioned in my original post, I use Thunderbird on the PC and Owncloud on a hosted server, to avoid using Google, for my contacts and calendars. I sync the calendars using a standard caldav connection and the inbuilt tasks facility in Thunderbird on the PC is catered for in...

I have been trying to find a suitable app that can display Tasks from the calendar. I run Thunderbird on my PC and have Owncloud hosted on a server. Both of these have a 'To Do List' (task) facility and they sync perfectly. I also sync the calendar in Owncloud with the calendar in my Android...

Its OK - sorted it

I have an AMPE A10 tablet and it has 7 'home screen pages'. On the 2nd, 3rd and 4th pages there are some 'widgets' that I can't remove in the normal way (ie tap/hold swipe to 'bin') These are 2 of the pages. Does anyone know of any way or perhaps a 'tool' to remove them, or are they likely...

Sorry - I meant to ask - is it likely to be the LCD or the digitizer (I can't find an LCD for the phone anywhere).

Thanks again UJ. I do not fully understand how the touch works on the screen and was not sure if it was possible for only a part of the screen to fail, and for such a uniform part at (ie a 5mm band across the full width so far from the bottom edge). I can get a replacement from china, but its...

Thanks UJ. I have not dropped or damaged the phone, and have just done a factory reset which has rectified use of the back/menu buttons - but not the lack of response at the bottom of the screen :(
