    Tab S2 stop all Samsung & MS auto updates

    I had exactly the same thing, driving me nuts using all my home bandwidth, and all my hotspot bandwidth... I would never have thought to look under "about device", I was looking in the software segments. Anyway there was no way to pause it so I had to let is soak up all my bandwidth for a few...

    Galaxy Tab S2 8.4 reboots itself, or shuts itself down, How can I stop this?

    Yer, that's what Samsung said. Problem is I bought the device in London, and am now in Italy, not returning to London until June. You have to return within 30 days for replacements / refund :-( I will have to post it and hope it arrives in one piece, and then hope a friend can schlepp all the...

    Galaxy Tab S2 8.4 reboots itself, or shuts itself down, How can I stop this?

    Re: Galaxy Tab S2 8.4 reboots itself, or shuts itself down It has done enough formatting or something to at least start with the "Welcome" and set up pages. It crashes after 20 seconds still. In safe mode it's the same. :-(

    Galaxy Tab S2 8.4 reboots itself, or shuts itself down, How can I stop this?

    Re: Galaxy Tab S2 8.4 reboots itself, or shuts itself down So it's a new device, less than one week, so I did a factory reset, and it even reboots during the process, so halfway through formatting, it rebooted.

    S3 Neo+ GT-I9301I - 4.4.2 - Root Possible?

    I have tried oneclickroot, however it wants me to register, which seems potentially rather dangerous, and also the register button doesn't do anything at all. I have tried towelroot, however it says phone not supported. I think because it's post June 2014, the phone says kernel 3.4.0 Oct 7...

    Apps not really moving from device to SD card? What's this all about?

    Seriously, this is freaking annoying. I have only got a few apps installed. Facebook, Skype, whatsapp and ebay. My phone was getting low on storage. I bought a 64GB SD card. moved all apps to SD card where developer allows it. It says they are on SD card. I just did an update as 9 apps...

    How to get Outlook calndar (or any calendar) sync'd

    I would like to get my calendar sync'd with my phone and am struggling. I used the Kies sync, which then resulted in an outlook prompt to allow access. I clicked yes, and the sync in Kies seemed to have completed. I then looked on the phone, and can't see calendar anywhere. I looked in apps...

    Play Music Store in Wrong Language

    Afraid not, as you can see from the image, I tried that URL, and am logged into google with the google menus in English correctly. I hate auto region detect with no override. There are lots of expats in the world, this part of Italy speaks German, more people speak non-English as first...

    Play Music Store in Wrong Language
