Award yourself an Easter egg! Going in and out of Airplane mode has restored the signal indicator (at least for the moment) and, as I did have Wi-Fi set to only be on when plugged in, I've turned that off. We'll see how it holds up. Thanks very much for the suggestions.

Re: Can't turn Wi-Fi on after Android update but it's still working! Unfortunately, I spoken too soon and it's now relapsed again. Others in the Tab Pro 8.4 forum haven't had the same problem so I may have to wait until the next update to get it fixed. Fortunately, it is still working at home...

Well, it's gone again. Still works on the normal SSID but no signal indicator at the top of the screen and no list of SSIDs in Settings. I think I'll just put up with it until the next update comes along. It's only going to be a problem if I want Wi-Fi access away from home so I'll just take...

Re: Can't turn Wi-Fi on after Android update but it's still working! Fortunately not. Everything now back to normal after a factory reset.

I'm pleased to say a factory reset fixed the problem and everything seems to have been automatically restored from my Google backup. I've no idea what the update was supposed to do and I doubt we'll ever know. I felt battery consumption was improved but I'll have to check again now I've reset...

My Tab Pro 8.4 received an OTA update a few days ago although it's still on 4.4.2 afterwards. But now I can't turn on Wi-Fi - I can move the Wi-Fi slider to the right but it stays greyed out - although Wi-Fi obviously is still working as I can access the Internet and the Tab is receiving app...

No, fortunately it just goes into a leather loop.

You just can't tell, can you? I bought this one: ICARER-TWO-FOLDER-CASE-Leather-case-for-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-8-0-BLACK in tan and neither it nor the one you link to mentions smartcover. In fact, it seems to be a well kept secret. It would be worse if I was right-handed as then I'd really need to...

Unfortunately that one's not available on Amazon UK and our market is so small relative to yours that not many cases have any, let alone a meaningful number of, reviews. The case I have is strange as the magnet does not activate the smart cover function from the front, only the back! I may have...

Thanks very much for that. It certainly seems to be the cause and I've just detected a magnet in the cover. It's about an inch in from the spine and 40% down, under the word 'Note'.... I suppose the question now is how to know if any new case has a magnet or not.

My Note 8.0 powers off when the rear camera is covered. As I have a book type cover and like to fold the front right back so it doesn't flop around this behaviour is a pain. It wasn't so bad under ICS as I could just power it back on and enter my unlock code but under JB it doesn't accept any...

My Note 8.0 updated itself yesterday. I've just checked and both the multi-window tab and lock screen settings are working normally.

No, we're both in the UK. I found a widget called Weather which seems to have replaced Accuweather but doesn't look quite as good. Perhaps it was cheaper....... I've found the reason for being unable to enter my PIN but that deserves its own thread.

My Wi-Fi Note 8.0 has just updated to 4.2.2 over the air and now won't accept PIN logon input. It was down to 30% charge so I'm leaving it to charge up a bit before I try to get in again to load the other updates that are pending. Okay, a bit of a rest and recharge and it's let me back in. The...
