Hi everyone, Sorry not to be replying in detail, but Christmas is getting in the way! I will tackle this problem in a day or two and get back with the results. Thanks for the replies received to date, best wishes, Roger

Hi to you all, Thanks for the quick reply and for the helpful suggestions. I will follow your instructions and see how things go, Thanks again and Happy Christmas to all

Hi Everyone, I am writing to try to get help for a problem on my wife's Samsung A8 Tablet (SM-X200). For sometime now my wife has enjoyed using two apps, Codewords and Wordscapes, without any problems. Lately though she has been getting frequent popups suggesting an update is required for an...

I am guessing you mean some USB flash drives? I will remember that and if and when one doesn't work I will reverent one that does, :) Thanks for the advice

Thanks B Diddy, for your prompt and much appreciated replies. Best wishes to you and your family for Christmas Roger

Thanks for the suggestion, I will certainly get that app, it sounds a good one. I returned the lead and adaptor this morning, and the salesman said 'Oh you just need this...' He then showed me a Digitech USB 3.0 Type-C plug to USB 3.0 Socket. By the packaging it seems to be sold worldwide so...

Thank you for your quick reply, but I did check the format of the drive. It was the same drive I had kept purely for use with my earlier tablet. Just in case I reformatted it to exFAT but it made no difference, Roger

Hello everyone, I would very much like to be able to offload some files from my A8 Galaxy Tablet SM-X200. I saw a reference in this forum to an app USG OTG Checker and have used that, it tells me that the tablet is compatible. Can someone please tell me how I connect my tablet and a USB...

Hi everyone, I have lived with a problem on my wife's TAB A tablet and patience is wearing thin. For a long time there has been a problem printing PDF files and at times I have managed to restore this function, only for it to recur. I have spent a long time trying to restore it again this...

Ah, that's something I'd never have thought of, :), thanks very much for taking the time to add this, Roger

Thanks spARTacus for the suggestion. I did think of downloading another app but preferred not to. I try to keep the number of 3rd part apps to a minimum. Thanks again, Roger

Hi there, Thank you both for the very quick replies. I will try the suggestion and get back to you tomorrow. (GMT+11 here and just off to bed!) Edit: Disregard that, thought it should be easy so just tried it. No luck, I can call up the list of Apps under Settings but I do not see a Menu...

Hello!! I have somehow messed up the handling of PDF files on my TAB A. When I open a pdf file the tablet opens straight into a Print screen and not a PDF viewer. Nothing I do allows me to select a printer (so if I wanted to print it I couldn't) and I cannot exit the print screen and just...

Hi, thank you again for the quick reply. My wife has chosen to live with things as they are rather than make changes to the other apps on her tablet. After all, since the print function does work this is the main thing. I am more than happy with that! Incidentally, she has received another...

Hello and thanks for replying. I followed your advice B. Diddy and clearing the cache has had the desired effect, thanks very much, Galactic Zoo, thanks for the explanation, I had not thought it was opening the file without actually downloading it! Roger
