I'm in a similar position, did full factory reset and still doing it. I'd presumed it was battery related as it happens more when there's been a drain on the battery - eg first noticed it when battery was eg below 30% - but don't want to replace the battery if it's not going to make any...

Amazingly I seem to have sorted it - I created a new network folder and manually entered the IP Address and directory and it seems to have worked!

Hi folks, Been looking through the questions and online but can't quite find the specific answer to this issue though it looks like lots of people have smb problems with VLC. I have attached a hard drive to my router on the home wifi and made it available on the network. Accesses fine on my...

Yes, looks like there are two versions of the 2019 model - nightmare! Thanks again!

Thanks for the reply - I'm looking at some 10" tablets but I'm just a little concerned I'll find them a bit too heavy for casual reading etc, but on the other hand I can't believe the limited options for an 8" tablet that takes proper stylus use! Thanks for the heads up about the Lenovo Tab 4...

Hi all, I'm looking for an 8" (I'm open to 7") Android tablet after my NVIDA Shield tablet had issues and my Nexus 7 before that did. I've narrowed it down to Huawei Mediapad M5 8 or a Lenovo TAB 4 8 Plus, which both have pretty good reviews on Which?, TechRadar etc. The potential issue with...

No ideas on this one?

I have a Google Pixel 2, works great but every now and then on my bluetooth headphones, the volume doesn't work properly. It's hard to explain, but basically it's like it's only the very highest volume, and the lowest couple of levels actually change the volume - everything in between stays...

Thanks for this. It's just occurred to me, I run BOINC so when it's charged over a certain amount it starts running and donating processor power to BOINC projects. I think I only donate 50% of the processing power but I wonder if this could have led to a permanent charging state and overheated...

Hello, I had my tablet charging on and off over a weekend and when I used it on the Sunday evening I noticed a yellow mark on the top right of the screen. Looking online it looked like it could be a heat mark, like the glue heating up too much, so I unplugged it and the mark disappeared...

Cheers, looks like it can be done fro about £50 although I'm not 100% whether it's the charging port or the battery itself, presumably they could check - techrepairs.co.uk. Never heard of them though. An extra £100+ to get the Shield K1 and then I'd need a case etc so edging up to £120-30. Might...

Recently started having a problem with my Nexus 7 - I had left it to charge and woke up to find it had completely drained. So I turned it on and left it to charge and it only went up to 10%. Since then I've been having problems with it - it looked like I'd just about sorted it and it got up to...
