    Every reboot starts with "Android is upgrading"

    This is a Note 4 (unlocked from AT&T, running Android 5.0.1). Yes, it's a few years old but I use it only as a pocket-sized drawing tablet and it has worked mostly great for that purpose (using ArtFlow), up to a year or so ago. Since that time there were problems that made me stop using it...

    Help Seeking wifi-only device, will unlocked phone work for me?

    My Samsung Galaxy Player bit the dust and there is nothing like it on the market anymore. (That's a wifi-only device, comparable to an iPod Touch, but for Android.) I don't want/need a smartphone that actually makes phone calls... I have a dumb phone instead and am fine with that. But I need...

    All calendaring apps are off by 1-2 hours

    This problem is really bizarre and I am too busy to make a research project out of it so I hope someone has a quick answer. I have had Samsung Galaxy Player 4.2 with Android 2.something for a few weeks, and everything works like a dream so I wasn't ready for this problem. When I recently...
