    email notifications issues

    I switched off the stock email APP because it was showing the wrong number of mails on the icon. I went back to Bluemail which I had used on my Moto Z without issue, took that off and now have Typeapp but same problem - no incoming email notification sound on either? Any thoughts?

    SD card/storage

    I've had a couple of goes at this on the New Users thread but I think I should probably start a separate one. I'm struggling to get my head round this. Courtesy of Doogald - "You set it up for Adoptable Storage I assume? Adopted Storage uses the SD card as the actual internal storage for the...

    New user questions...

    I don't know what I changed but now I have the dreaded google search bar on every screen I add apps to - how do I get rid of it. Can't switch off Google now either.

    If you have to change what will it be to?

    OK, so things are a little unclear at the moment, but, if it comes to 'you have to give up the Note 7' what the heck will you get? I have no idea (which is why I'm asking - I like to be prepared!) I love my 7, I love the pen, the size etc. Ideas?

If you phone them to find out what's happening, you get a recorded message saying 'don't bother to hold on, we will contact you, and replacements start from the 19th of September' so I took them at their word and waited... until today. I bought...

    I had a 'normal' notification bar that I could pull down from the top - just a narrow strip with my chosen 4 quick settings. Underneath that, time, date and a clear button, and underneath that any others - email, etc. After getting my phone wet it slipped in my hands, I have no idea what I...

    Hi there, I'm using the stock mail app on my Z1 and have four email addresses linked into it. Since the very start I have had issues with it getting 'confused' as to how many emails are actually there. Mail is handled either on my phone or via windows live mail on my windows 7 desktop. All...

    Help re-calibrate the screen

    Does the X1 have an option hidden away somewhere to let you re-calibrate the screen? It might be my big fingers or it might need a little adjustment. I know you could do this on my old HTC.
