Samsung S7 Tablet 11”

Afternoon Folks ,

Just bought a Samsung S7 Tablet 11” for my nephew, now he looking for a keyboard with case to make it easier when writing essays etc.

Looked at the genuine Samsung Keyboard and the price is insane.

Wondering if anyone has bought an aftermarket one which is as good as the genuine and if so would appreciate any feedback and links to where to purchase from.

Looking for both a good protective case and keyboard.

TIA

Why???? Much examination of Professor Google hasn't helped.

Asus Nexus 7 - "Google play has stopped" :(

Hey guys :)

I just picked up a cheap Nexus 7 (model ME370T). I know it's an old device but I bought it for the sole purpose of running just one app - Torque Pro.

However, every time I try searching in Google Play I'm able to type a few letters before it says "Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped" :(

I've done a factory reset, I've tried clearing app cache/data, it wouldn't appear there aren't any updated available... Not sure what else to try :/

Any suggestions?

TIA!

Help Change Knox Guard State

Hi!

I need to change the KG state of my Samsung Galaxy S22+ (Snapdragon, from US) which is currently in active state. I need the KG STATUS to be in CHECKING", "BROKEN", "COMPLETED" or disappeared so I can install a proprietary custom FW (the device and the custom FW are for professional testing purposes).

To unlock the bootloader I requested Samsung a token (which they gave me) and after flashing the token into the device the bootloader was unlocked (at least I get that warning messaging over a dark background stating this every time the device starts up). But, to be able to install the custom FW I need to change the KG status which by some reason is always active. I didn't have this problem with the Exynos model but this snapdragon model is killing me.

Does anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks!

Tmobile simcard from redpocket compatible phones

Phone experts if i use a redpocket 30$ year prepaid plan that is powered by T-MOBILE gsm network but sold by redpocket their 200mb 200 minutes 1000 texts every 30 day 2.50$ monthly plan.

I attached photos you can see my redpocket sim is GSMT and t-mobile network? Now will it operate in a locked to tmobile phone just slip the simcard in and go? Its for cheaper phone replacement?






See i use to have a tmobile family plan and when the phone would break i would just get a replacement boxed phone Tmobile pixi 4 from tmobile with sim kit from walmart in 2006-2016 and insert old simcard and continue operating.

Now i have redpocket that operates of tmobile gsm. A locked phone says tmobile is locked to tmobile sims only correct?

Say if i did need a replacement phone and had boost a locked to boost phone would directly work with the current simcard?

As you can see walmart stopped stocking the tmobile boxed plan shelf phones for 20$ flip phone 40$ android phones that were easily interchangeable just pop in old simcard from my tmobile service and go.

Now walmart has its on walmart family mobile which says POWERED BY T MOBILE ON THE BOX.

I spoke with a tmobile rep and they told me as long as the phone bands were the same it should operate but couldnt confirm.

Im curious if this redpocket T-mobile gsm will operate in a locked tmobile phone as it uses tmobiles gsm network or walmarts family mobile which is powered by tmobile.

I just bought a 30$ year prepaid redpocket plan 200 mb 200 minutes 1000 texts every 30 days and a g power 2021 3gb 32gb from best buy for black friday 109.99$.

The thing is the off the shelf phones locked to a carrier say tmobile, boost or whichever are compatible with the same carrier from my experience with tmobile and tmobile specific phones with the logo and opening screen.

Help Can't get rid of Google message to change back to Samsung (for texts)

We have 2 day old phones, an S22+ and a S22. This morning the text icon changed. Used to be the one with 3 horizontal dots. Then it looked like a cloud shaped one. I got mine to change back by changing it to default. We tried to do it with my husbands and even though it shows Samsung message as the default, the icon that is showing is still the Google one (at least we think that's what it is). He tried disabling the Google one in apps, all that did was make the whole message icon disappear. How do we get rid of the new one and go back to the old one on his?
Thanks in advance

Possible to cast from Android smartphone to Chromecast 3 without use of dedicated WiFi/router

I got a Chromecast 3 for my Samsung "dumb TV" which is hooked up to the USB-port of the latter. When purchasing the Chromecast, I asked the seller in the store if it was possible to use it with the WiFi of my Samsung A5 (2017) smartphone (that is the integrated data plan of my phone's subscription). The seller responded quite doubtfully and ambiguously (as well as hesitatingly) that she "meant" that it wasn't a problem. If so, I could bring it back and get a refund. At home I realized that the Chromecast didn't work with the phone's data plan and after a bit of research, I found that a WiFi was required for making things work. So I got WiFi (fiber) and got the Chromecast set up and working - so far without any issues for a couple of years.

However, the WiFi is an additional monthly expense and - though nice to have - essentially not required if the Chromecast could be made to work with the data plan of the phone instead. So I did some more research, trying to see if there was a way of getting this done and stumbled upon the following article...

http://www.androidauthority.com/chromecast-mirror-cast-wifi-397374/

...in which there is a section headlined "Cast without a WiFi connection". This article is way back from June 25th, 2014 - so a bit outdated. However there is a mention of the possibility of selecting "Nearby Devices" and Chromecast without WiFi in some way. So I found the following page...

http://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/7073953?hl=en

...from Google Chromecast support, explaining the steps for connecting without the use of WiFi, but there is no mention of what internet connection to use instead, nor does it say if it is possible at all to connect the Samsung/Android device and then use the same data plan/shared WiFi from the phone itself.

So the open question I am trying to get answered is still if there is any way or possibility at all to make the Chromecast work on my phone's own WiFi where both the phone and Chromecast share and use the same network at the same time (or if that article somehow is erroneous or outdated. If the former is the case, I'd be grateful to have someone explain to me what point it is that they are trying to make in said article).

I also would like to know if I could use my old Samsung Galaxy A5 as a Wifi/Router by popping a SIM-card into it and then making that function as an alternative Wifi so I could "save away" the regular Wifi (fiber) I am using now and connecting any device including the Chromecast 3 and my new Samsung Galaxy A53 to that smartphone instead. Would that be possible technically speaking?

Any help and input on the above is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

S22 link to windows Malware prob

The other day i got a message on a update. saying that the app that is being updated might be malware. it was link to windows. I stupidly installed it. It then came up saying that there is malware on the phone. so after looking into this i carried out the apps - show system apps - then going into device security deleting the cache and data and then rerunning the device care. yeah it now shows like the app is not malware but there is two apps. One is just Link to windows and the other is link to windows service. i have tried to uninstall them both but it wont let me . i try to stop the service but at some point it starts back up. Even tho the device scanner says that there is no malware, my phone has not worked right since. apps crash every time now. can hardly do anything on it. can anyone please help. thanks you
