I have several apps that are stored on my SD card. Sometimes the icon for the app shows up on my homepage, sometimes all i get is a grey box that says a couple of words and a little SD card next to it. They seem to appear and disappear at random times. Anybody else having this issue and how...

I'm at my wit's end here guys. I'm using an SM-T310 16gb internal and 24gb external SD card. When I first set up this device, I was easily able to tell the tab to put all new downloads by default to the sd card. It was a beautiful thing. The USB port blew out, so I sent the device off to...

For the reasons given in other thread (http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-3-8-0/855113-samsung-galaxy-tab-3-sm-t310-kitkat-4-4-2-a.html) by Bodiccea (thank you, Bodiccea!), I don't want to update to KitKat.

So I just got a Galaxy Tab 4, 8 inch -- but there doesn't seem to be a forum for that, so hopefully this is a good place to post. I want to get a 64 GB microSD card, and I'm probably just going to use it for media -- e-books, audio/songs, and video (downloaded TV/movies). I've been reading up...

Ever since the kitkat update that was recently rolled out, been having some odd issues. First thing I noticed is the battery drains a lot faster than before, not sure why this is. Not a big deal, I keep a charger at work. The bigger issue is the charging itself is wonky. The battery...

I have gmail, email and mailwise running on my tablet. Mailwise checks all of my accounts. Can I turn off the other programs or do I need to uninstall them. Trying to save by RAM.

I'm posting this here because there is no dedicated forum for the Galaxy Tab 4. Would any of you consider the Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 an upgrade, on par, or a downgrade from a 2012 Nexus 7? I'm asking this because my current Nexus 7 2012 32gb has become quite sluggish and stuttery over time...

Hi! Anyone could use SideSync 3.0 with this device? And what about with the Tab 4 of 7''? Thanks a lot!

First off I want to clarify something, and that is that if you love the new update, this thread is not for you. If you also have some complaints about the update, read on. So when the update came out I admit, I was excited. But now about two days into the update I've found quite a few things...
