    The email widget for the standard email app on my nexus 7 running kitkat, does not refresh after I read the new messages. Although the email app shows them as read, the widget on the home screen still shows them as unread until a new message is received. I am presuming this is a standard...

    I have a media server on my LAN (actually a mythtv box) and I can connect to it via uPnP or by Windows or NFS shares. uPnP works fine, but the apps I have tried (uPnPlayer and BubbleUPnP) only let you browse by album or ALL the music files together. Players like BSplayer lite let me browse...

    How do I close all tabs in the browser?

    I am wondering how I can close all open tabs at once in the browser that came with my Honeycomb 3.2 tablet (a Motorola Xoom, but I think this is the Honeycomb browser)? I guess someone will suggest Dolphin, but it isn't an option as Dolphin doesn't run the flash at one of my favourite web...

    How to do a REAL backup?

    I have read a lot of guides and posts, and when backups are discussed, they talk abouts apps and settings. When backing up data is discussed, I am uncertain that it is all the data, especially data from 3rd party paid apps. For example, mybackup only seems to back up a specific list of common...

    Does 3G Watchdog count wifi data as well as 3G (and 2G)?

    I only want to count the 3G/2G data, as any wifi data is free of quota, and most of my downloads will be via wifi. I am trying 3G watchdog, and it looks like it may be picking up and counting the wifi data unfortunately.
