A few days ago a notification icon came on just to the right of the wifi signal. It's a red x on what looks like a white document page. The G Pad manual lists some common notification icons but does not show this one. Does anyone recognize it and know what it is supposed to be telling me? Thanks.

I received a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7" screen) from one of my sons three years ago as a birthday gift. It's really been good and I've enjoyed having it. But now it's acting a bit long in the tooth and I find it less responsive than it used to be. Three years in the electronics world can be a...

Just got my Volt a few days ago. Had been unhappy with the HTC One V which seemed to be ponderously slow especially in the absence of a wifi connection. One store I work at is in the Kingston NY area. There is no wifi available there. Today I found the Volt did well and the notification line...

My HTC One V has been showing considerable battery drain the past few days. As an example I awoke yesterday at 7am, the battery was at 100% charge and remained on the home wi-fi until I left for work at 9:30. I did not use the phone at all during that time. Got to work at 10am and checked...

Recently my HTC One V has developed the annoying habit of having the screen dim within about 10 seconds of the time I wake it. A few more seconds and then it's off completely. I have adjusted the settings for SLEEP to be 1 minute and have tried 2 minutes. Doesn't matter, still get a dimming...

I know a few threads have addressed this but I don't see much in the way of answers there. Recently my Galaxy Tab 2 7" device "upgraded" from Android 4.1.1 to 4.2.2. Since that time it has constantly been losing its wifi connection despite a strong signal from my router. It does reconnect...

Every day for the last few weeks I get a notification on my tablet that has the blue Google "G" and says "Account Action Required". When I tap on it it shows my POP email address and asks for my password. I have not been entering it since K9, my email app, is doing just fine receiving my...

The past couple of weeks it seems like after dinner the Tab 2 can not connect to the internet unless I go to my desktop PC and turn off the router and the modem for about a minute. Then usually we're back in business. I wonder whether the use of the microwave oven at dinnertime is the cause of...

I've had my HTC One V phone since late December of 2012. For the most part I've been very happy with its performance and the extra memory it has compared to its predecessor, the Optimus V by LG. But recently the battery has been discharging at an alarming pace. I used to easily get a day's...

I received a call about an hour ago that I was not able to accept but since took care of the issue via texting. The notification icon of the missed call is atop the main screen and I don't see how I can get rid of it. The "CLEAR" option is not available to me in the settings. What's the answer?

Today I made the momentous move from (Time Warner) Cable TV to DirecTV. The installer was trying to explain to me how the Genie system he put in uses wifi to communicate with the other units and with DirecTV. My two android devices are an HTC One V phone and and Samsung Tab 2.0 (7"). The...

Hi, About 6 months ago I moved from my LG Optimus V to the HTC One V (and glad I did). In cleaning some stuff out today I found two of my chargers for the Optimus and the plug does fit into the HTC phone. I don't want to screw up the electronics but wonder whether my Optimus V charger will...

Generally love my Galaxy tab 2 7.0 but wonder whether this is controllable. When I connect the charger at night the screen turns on. Then when it is fully charged the screen turns on for about 30 seconds. Since I sleep in the same room as the charger it lights up the place. Have taken to...

My Tab 2 7.0 has always done just fine in our house and connects to the router's strong wi-fi signal. But just tonite it won't connect. I've turned it off and I've tried putting into airplane mode for a while. It reports: Signal strength: Very Strong but won't make the connection. Nothing...

Tried to find notification sounds for K9 mail and incoming texts to sound better but I am not liking my selections. Now I would like to go back to the defaults that I started with and don't know what they are called. Anyone?
