Keep getting a popup warning every morning when we turn on our Note 8.0 then start the wi-fi that says: "An update is required to access Samsung services". So far we've answered "No" each time the warning is displayed until I find out what they want to update and just how much extra data will be...

Been noticing lately that when the S-Pen is used to select the tab's "back" button, it leaves a souvenir on the screen near where the pen was last hovering. The little blue circle pointer icon remains visible on the screen when the pen is no longer within usable range. Occasionally, the "back"...

The Android Gallery app data (Settings/Device Storage/Applications/Gallery/Data) in our GN8 keeps growing. It gets about 50Mb larger each time the tab is turned on or restarted. It doesn't grow while the tablet or Gallery application is in use and overall data usage doesn't increase either...

The 4.2.2 OTA update changed the way the stock browser's bookmarks look and how the sidebar (frame) on the left side of the screen works. Prior to the update, used to be able to drag the frame off the left side of the screen and it would stay there. Now, it reappears every time the bookmarks are...

In advance of a factory reset, I'd like to backup as much non-OS as I can to a flash drive or external SD card instead of some OTA, cloud service. This sounds like a simple process but I'd like to hear from the "experts" before attempting anything myself. Yes...I have a micro USB OTG dongle...

Our Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0's storage folder seems to be filling up with 10-digit (numeric) folders that all contain the same files. The path for these folders is: Android\data\com.android.email\serial\ then the mysterious 10-digit (numeric) folders. Each folder contains the following...

Since the wife's Galaxy Note 8.0 was auto-updated from Android 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 lots of strange/undesireable things have been going on. I've gotten around most of them but there's one that continues to plague us. The battery usage chart (settings/battery) has been inconsistent at best. We...

Got the 4.2.2 update forced upon us a couple days ago (OTA) and I'm seriously bummed. Although almost everything seems to work as it used to (despite complaints from other folks of a variety of standard features being somehow disabled), most of the changes/improvements (to features we actually...

I do my best to keep my wife's Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 clean and running well. Recently, I have seen the addition of a couple .pkg files into the storage/sdcard0/temp directory where there has always been only one of these impossible-to-identify little files (GJPP.pkg in there since 7/23...

Can someone please direct me to any documentation that might be available to provide me step-by-step instructions how to correctly use the stock charger/data cable to transfer files between the Note 8.0 and our XPSP3 PC? I won't go into it now herein this forum but I was not entirely successful...

I'm trying to keep my wife's Galaxy Note 8.0 clean and fast so I've been snooping in the "My files" directory. I noticed that there's nothing in the email cache lately. There has been tons of stuff in there in the past that I've cleared via the applications manager but lately it's been empty...
