    Textra is set to keep ALL messages. Very strange that I am just losing random messages

    Will the standard Contacts app on Android 1 sync with my address@outlook.com account?

    Thanks for the suggestions. The Outlook app won't handle POP3 and two of my email accounts have to be POP3. Will consider your other option and hopefully I can make it work

    Message and Email counter on Lock screen

    Hi, Sorry for not having logged in first. I thought I was logged in before I posted the question. Now logged in. Thanks too for moving the question. Is this bookmark still valid or do I need to find the question elsewhere to see if anyone has posted an answer? Rob

    My Samsung TAB S upgrade is just showing SAMSUNG - how long do I wait

    Thanks for all your suggestions and help. I decided that this job was a little above my 'pay grade' so I decided to pay $49 and got the local tech shop to get it going for me. Safer that way. Thanks again

    My Samsung TAB S upgrade is just showing SAMSUNG - how long do I wait

    Tried again. Cleared the cashe, rebooted, watched it display the Tab S banner then 'create' the word SAMSUNG, which is now simply glowing low and high. Nothing else is happening. This unit was working perfectly yesterday before I did the recommended upgrade, wish I had ignored it. Is this...

    My Samsung TAB S upgrade is just showing SAMSUNG - how long do I wait

    Ok back to work. The unit is powered by the Samsung powerpack it came with - but it's never been powerful enough on its own. I tried clearing the cache and rebooting but same result. No idea what to do next. Will try one more time

    My Samsung TAB S upgrade is just showing SAMSUNG - how long do I wait

    Thanks B Diddy, I have turned the unit off and will now wait for the battery to recharge before I try anything else. It surprises me but the standard charger on the TAB S is not powerful enough to run the unit, it still drains the battery when it's turned on even when plugged in. I don't want to...

    My Samsung TAB S upgrade is just showing SAMSUNG - how long do I wait

    Thanks for your answers. First, my apologies for asking under AC Question. I thought I was logged in normally but was wrong. This is a Samsung forced update. It ended up staying as it was all night and running the battery flat, even though plugged in. This morning the battery had gone to 12% and...

    How can I automatically disconnect WiFi hotspot when I get home

    Sorry it took so long to reply. I have an older phone with no provision for an NFC Tag but that doesn't really fill my needs. My concern is that I will forget to turn off my WiFi hotspot when I get home leaving my phone and tethered tablet both using mobile instead of WiFi data. For the same...

    How can I automatically disconnect WiFi hotspot when I get home

    I have a 4G phone on a good plan and a 4G tablet with a SIM on a not so good plan. When I am out I want to tether the tablet to the phone to take advantage of the cheaper data. Problem is I forget to turn the hotspot off when I get back home. Is there any way I can automatically turn off the...

    Hotspot WiFi switching to save money, how can I automatically have it switch?

    Re: Hotspot WiFi switching to save money Thanks for your suggestion but not quite what I am trying to achieve. At the very least I need a way to turn off the hot spot on the phone when I get to a suitable WiFi area. Unfortunately when the phone is in hotspot mode it can't tell if there is a...
