    Unrecognized symbol in notification area

    I have a few android WiFi only tablets with a hollow white right-triangle in between the WiFi and battery icons. Looking around online, some folks think it's a data roaming. Not only is this tablet WiFi only, but Data roaming in Settings/Mobile networks is unchecked. Here's a screenshot. It's...

    I started streaming a video on Galaxy S2. I wanted to pause it and when I touch anywhere on the screen a white lock appears. I can't do anything now. The video is playing but I can't even stop it, navigate back to the home screen, bring up Settings...anything. I have no idea how it got there or...

    How to read storage in tablet

    I have an Android 4.0.4 tablet. Trying to decipher the Storage listings in Settings. There are two listings, each labeled as Internal Storage. This was advertised as having 512 Mb memory, but these numbers in Storage just don't add up. How are we supposed to read this?

    How to secure tablet

    I have a 10" android tablet running 4.1. There is no way to set a screen lock password/pattern as there is on most android phones/tablets. I called customer support and they removed that feature, as too many folks were forgetting their password, their kids couldn't remember the pattern, etc...

    Videos on android 2.2

    I have an old MiTraveler 7 inch netbook with android 2.2. Youtube videos give message "Video cannot be played". Although there's an App Market app on it, flash player, photon, or any video player won't show up. There appears no way to update this thing. Any suggestions?

    That is the question. Whether tis nobler to chuck this thing out the window... I'm trying to install flash player on Tivax MyTraveler 10R tablet. Play store says it's not compatible, but I found the apk file. Trouble parsing the package, whatever that means. I found a few apk installers on Play...

    Now not compatible?!

    I downloaded Angry Birds on MiTraveler 10 inch android 4.0 tablet. It worked great for 2 months. Then I did a hard reset and when I go to download Angry Birds - when I can find it - it says "your device isn't compatible". What's the deal?

    I have a Michley Electronics MiTraveler android 4.0 tablet. There is a Aldiko ereader app already on it with three books that came with it. I downloaded another epub book - which is on the tablet, but I just can't read it. I have tried to do this multiple ways. How do I do this?

    Cannot download any apps

    I have a MiTraveler netbook running android 2.2. I cannot download any apps. This is really weird. I, say, go to pandora and there's a 'download now' button. It says "This is compatible with all your devices" and then "downloading now" but it doesn't download. I've actually tried a few...

    My tablet says "unable to scan for networks" every once in awhile, and turns itself off. I connects sometimes and sometimes not. I'm in the same location about 15 feet from the router. This is bizarre. Any clues?

    Use google calendar on tablet

    I have a Tivax MiTraveler 10 " tablet. It seems like Google has made this extremely more complicated than it needs to be. I just want to use the calendar. I create a google account (which I shouldn't have to) and try to use it. It says you have to have a calendar - this makes no sense and is...
