I have a 5th gen Amazon Fire tablet (c2015). The microUSB port will connect for charging but I can get the device to show up on my win10 PC file explorer. The tablet will chime like it's connected but that's it. Sometimes wriggling the connector will get it to connect but not often. Am I SOL ..read more

So I found an open box galaxy s9 tab ultra for about $900 and since I can't find an iPad for a similar price (most of the ipads I've found are $1,100+ and I don't really have more than 1k to spend total) and I'm looking for a really good case that. I'm using a unicorn beetle case on my current s7 and it works beautifully but when I looked for a unicorn beetle for the s9 ultra it says that the biometrics doesn't work and that the case covers the microphone port both of which, are basic things I want in a tablet. I found a case The case I found seems pretty solid but I don't really feel like w ..read more

Possible to have screen pinning + sleep while inactive together on Lenovo Tab M8?

by JMarkReynolds

Hello! I am using a Lenovo M Tab 8 as a video player in an art exhibition. What I would like is for the tablet to sleep after 10 minutes or so, but wake up (raise to wake) when it is picked up, (keep) play(ing) the screen-pinned Video Looper, and then go back to sleep after 10 minutes or so, just to conserve battery (but wake up when the next person picks it up). There is no account associated with the device (meaning no sensitive information). I have it largely working--screen pinning Video Looper--but that appears to count as "activity" and the device doesn't seem to go to sleep. This is acc ..read more

Hey, I recently checked my battery drain statistics and noticed that the screenshot function accounted for 13.66% of all battery consumption in the last 24 hours. The foreground activity was over 4 hours, which seems unusual. I only took a couple of screenshots during the last 24 hours, and I accidentally left my phone screen on overnight. What could be the reason for this ..read more

Sluggish Samsung Galaxy Tap A8

I've got a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8. Purchased last year. Lower end model and I knew that when I bought it because I mostly use it for watching stuff before bed, so I didn't need anything really high end, but man is it slow/unresponsive. I've disabled every feature that eats up memory and I use the little sweeping function in device care all the time, but it's still pretty brutal. Anybody know any tips/tricks to make it snappier? Don't want to drop a grand on a good one ..read more

My tablet is in DNX FASTBOOT MODE, and when I enter the console, nothing appears. I've tried restoring it with adb, but it doesn't work either. I can't put it in safe mode either. It's a Nextbook model NX16A8116K. Please tell me if there's a way to fix it; if not, it might be time to throw it away for good. I've been trying to fix it for several days, but my conclusion is that it no longer works ..read more

i got this motorola zoom from goodwill and i was under the impression that the usb port was the charge port. i plugged it in overnight and nothing. so in looking it up it turns out i actually has a charge port separate from the usb port. i did not see in the manual what the voltage is for the charge port. but going to ebay and looking for the zoom tablet i found out it is 12vdc so i found a 12 volt power supply and an adapter to plug it in and charge it up now the issue! it is android 4.1.2 and it just will not connect to the play store so i can get one app. i hear google is starting to not u ..read more
