My ISP has banned my home and work IP because the Gmail/email client on my Nexus 7 2012 polls POP3 email too often. This seems to happen at least every 30 seconds. I've turned off account sync, but it seems to make no difference. Is there some more global setting on syncing that I missed, or is...

I have a Navon Mizu M500, a Hungarian brand based on a MT 6589 Quad-Core 1.2 GHz CPU and running Android 4.2.2. [http://navongps.com/en/mizu-m500/]. The screen orientation keeps sticking, and then after a few days will unstick, so that the screen starts tilting properly between portrait and...

Re: Fives days, five free phones: Win with Android Central, Poweramp and Negri Electronics! I need a bigger phone so I can do some productive work onscreen while I'm out! A 10" tablet just won't fit in my pocket any more...

I love the versatility and accessibility of Google Docs, especially when accessed via Google Drive in Android or via Chrome on a PC. But the one thing that stops Google Docs being my perfect text productivity app is that I can't insert hyperlinks into what I write when in Android. I'm constantly...

I run a ROM version of Android JB (Paranoid Jelly) on a ZTE Skate, and I want to upgrade to the just-released version of Google Now/Google Search. But when I try to upgrade through the Play Store, it says my handset is incompatible (some legacy issue with screen resolution, I think). Does anyone...

Re: Google Play Error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] Here's what I got from Google. After I tried a few of these steps, the problem finally fixed itself. Not sure if this really is the solution, but try it - creating new accounts certainly didn't help. I think it was Google Talk that finally swung it. ...

Re: Google Play Error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] Finally the thing fixed itself. Not sure why. Perhaps deleting cache data from Download Manager and signing out of and back into Google Talk helped.

Re: Google Play Error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] I tried this, and it didn't work. The only step I missed was rewinding Google Play Store to factory setting - couldn't see anything in Settings to remove the updates. Still had the same download problem in my new temporary account as in my old one.

I'm having the problem which I *know* other users are suffering from since upgrading my Nexus 7 to Android JB 4.2 - apps won't download or update in the Google Play Store. Each time I try to update an app [there are about three waiting now, including Google+], or install a new one, I get an...

Re: Google Play Error [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] It's ridiculous that this should be happening, though. How important a part of Google's platform is Google Play? And how important a flagship device for Jelly Bean is the Nexus 7? And then to break Play Store access across the board with the JB update? Come...

Which Sensor Tester? There are several on the Play Store with the same name.

Just an update on a couple more apps I went with that have done a great deal - and note that this is *without* rooting the Skate. HoloLocker - does a beautiful ICS-style customizable lock screen, without rooting, and with a low memory footprint Virtual Button Bar - even without rooting, it...

I haven't got their products, but I'm interested in contacting them about them.

Ampe, of course.

Can anyone point me to the manufacturer's website? Thanks!
