    Calendar that syncs with Google calendar?

    I need a calendar on my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6, Android version 6.0.1) that will sync with my Google calendar. It used to do it but suddenly refuses.......! I have a Samsung Galaxy S Tab that syncs just fine, but has an older Android version, so I have to think it must be something with the...

    Update question

    Can someone please tell me if Android 6 is available for my Galaxy Tab S 10.5? My phone (Samsung Galaxy S6) just updated and I thought that because they're both Samsung Galaxy XXX that they would both update at the same time. So are tablets so different? Just curious, more than salivating for...

    Notifications question

    On my S4, I was able to get both ringing AND vibrating at the same time for incoming calls. On my new S6, however, it seems that it's either/or. I can find no way to select both. Am I missing something?

    Tablet won't turn on

    My tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 : SM-T800) won't turn on. Yesterday I noticed a significant lag time from typing to pressing any buttons to it actually doing anything. Then today it won't even turn on. When I plug in the charger there is no response either. I assume there is a one-year...

    Yikes...help please...quick!

    Well, it's still sending the text-to-speech messages to my home landline. When I listen to the message, it's just a string of never-ending numbers the voice reads off. Very weird! I'm going to have to try a factory reset, I suppose, as soon as I find out how to do that. One good thing, the...

    Yikes...help please...quick!

    Thanks. It's not rooted and I really have nothing on here that can't be blown away. It's an OLD phone. Before I try the reset, however, I'm attempting one more update.It's about halfway through it now. Fingers crossed this will work. If not, I'm just sticking to the old firmware.

    Yikes...help please...quick!

    I unlocked my old Galaxy S2, put a new SIM card (3 Network) in it, and charged it up. I also updated the software but don't think that's the problem as it started before the update. Anyway, now when I turn it on, it continually sends text-to-speech messages to my home phone number. I can't stop...

    Travel to US and phones

    I'm soon to travel to the US. Currently I have a Galaxy S4 on Tesco pay monthly contract. I also have my old Galaxy S2, unlocked, on no plan right now. I had planned to buy a pay-as-you-go SIM for my S2 at TMobile once I arrive there, and use that while I'm there. That would give me a local...

    Where is this setting??

    I'm sure I saw a setting that would blank the screen as soon as I close the cover on my Samsung Galaxy S4. Now I can't find it, however..... does anyone know? Thanks.

    Is there a way on the Samsung Galaxy S4 to silence the sound that plays when I power on the phone? I've tried turning the volume way down, but it only affects the ringtones, etc. Thanks.

    Samsung Kies won't connect to S4

    I've connected before with this phone, but now have a new computer and new download of Samsung Kies. I get the error message that no device is connected. I can't find any setting on the phone that would seem to affect connections via Kies. Samsung Galaxy S4, Windows 8.1, Android 4.4.2 Can...

    Camera: why oh why???

    When I take a photo with my Galaxy S4, sometimes the picture ends up in a sub-folder called "Camera" and sometimes in "My Photos" and now I seem to have TWO "Camera" sub-folders, all of which show up when I access the "Gallery" app. This happens even when I'm taking several photos in a row...

    Help Stop apps from updating automatically?

    Is there some way to stop my apps (on my Asus Transformer Pad, TF300T) from updating automatically without going into EACH one, one at a time? I would like to have a setting that says apps cannot update automatically. Thanks.

    Where is outbox for S4?

    I have tried to find text messages (not email, just phone text messages) that I have sent, but without success. On my old phone I had an "outbox" but can't find anything like it on the S4. Is this possible? I've downloaded the user guide PDF but can find nothing about it there either. Please...

    S4 Smart Screen settings question

    My Galaxy S4 is supposed to scroll when I tilt my head.... at least I think so. I'm sure it did at least once, but now it won't do it. I checked the Settings > My Device > Smart scroll and it is "On", as are the Smart pause and Smart stay. The Smart rotation is off. When I drill further, the...

    Notification questions

    Still on the learning curve for the S4 from the S2. I would like to set separate notification for received text messages versus other things. Is this possible? If so, can you please tell me how to do it? Also, I downloaded some ringtones and created a folder on the SD card called Ringtones and...

    Help Phone gets so hot!

    Just got my new S4 (upgraded from Galaxy S2) today and charged it up. But when I use it, it gets really hot in my hand. Is this (fingers crossed) because it's new or should I be concerned enough to send it back)? I turned it off for now, as Tesco is supposed to be transferring my old number to...

    Help How do I make sure the number pad works properly?

    I just tried to call a number with options on a voice menu (i.e. "for customer service, please dial 5 followed by the hash key"). However, when I pressed Keypad, I got the keypad and dialed 5# but nothing happened. I have the PDF of the user manual but can't find anything in it that specifically...

    Storage Mystery....help, please!

    I just cannot understand my storage on my Asus 300 tablet. If I look at it using the Settings > Storage > Internal Storage, it says I have 27.15 GB "total", with 25.40 GB "available". And with File Manager (on the Asus as well as with it plugged into my Windows PC and using Windows File...

    SD card password lock

    On my Samsung Galaxy S2 I tried to set a password. Right now the "Set up SIM card lock" is unchecked. After two tries I gave up because it said if I enter the wrong password three times it would do something dire. I don't remember ever setting a password! I tried the two most obvious ones, but...

    Tablet won't power on

    We've had our tablets (we have two: his and hers, both are 'TF300T' models) since May of this year. No problems, but husband hasn't turned his on for a couple of months. Now it won't turn on, even when plugged into the charger. He charged up the keypad and now has removed the keypad from the...

    I decided to set the security settings in my phone: Settings > Location and Security > Remote functions.....

    How do I print on MY printer from my tablet?

    I have an HP 4510 wireless printer on my home PC. How do I print a document from my Asus Transformer TF300 on that printer? I'm sitting right next to it. I also have the PDF manual for the Asus, but printing doesn't seem to be addressed. Thanks. Jane
