    Thread Android stock digital clock widget settings

    I use 2 Android devices that have a "clock (digital)" widget. Although both widgets are shown as the same app version number (v1.0), they appear different when in use on the home screen. The one in use on the Samsung Galaxy Ring cellphone (Virgin Mobile) is quite nice with a completely...

    Thread Widget - Can't find widget on home page

    Tried to put a widget on the home screen (Android 4.1.2) in the conventional manner - drag and drop, but when I released the widget it didn't appear. OK...so maybe I was off to the side or something so I tried again. This time I get a pop up window that says something like "The widget is...

    Post OK to turn off stock picture "Gallery"???

    Doesn't "freezing" (with Titanium or any other similar app) require rooting of the tablet? I neglected to mention that our Note 8.0 is not rooted and I would prefer to keep it that way (for now). The primary reason for posting this question is to find out if the few features of the Gallery...

    Post OK to turn off stock picture "Gallery"???

    If those are the only issues, I would be even more anxious to turn off the stock Gallery and start using QuickPic today. I do nothing with SMS and I haven't added a picture to Contacts in months. My main fear to turning off the stock gallery is that it is hard wired to some other important tab...

    Post OK to turn off stock picture "Gallery"???

    Can you elaborate on the "...contact pictures etc". Just how extensive is the "etc"? I would think lots of folks have "turned off" the stock Gallery on their Note 8.0's. I would also hope that the QuickPic developer has incorporated features into the app by now that allows users to use it as...

    Post OK to turn off stock picture "Gallery"???

    I seem to recall some comments that if the stock gallery is turned off that the quick review icon would not function properly. I could live with that to get rid of the data space consuming Gallery app. Any other thoughts?

    Thread OK to turn off stock picture "Gallery"???

    I want to turn off the stock Android 4.2.2 Gallery and use the most current release of QuickPic as the only pic viewer/slideshow. I would think my best approach would be to use the built-in application manager and just select "Turn off". Are there any caveates I should be aware of? Any...

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    It looks as though our conversation has attracted (finally) others who might be having the same problem. Thank you for your 2 cents am2010r. Harjan112: Is it correct that you loaded your Note 8.0 with a bunch more pictures, checked the "data" reading, it was 14.73, then you rebooted and it was...

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    Everything is on internal SD. As an experiment, I took the number of pictures down to under 10. Right now, I loaded it up to 239 in 5 separate directories...EVERYTHING in the "Pictures" directory.

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    I got it that you're using both the apps. Actually, that's probably the only way to see if it's gonna make a difference. I would never suggest that you're making a recommendation without actually thinking (knowing) that it would help the issue. So...can I assume that you believe there is...

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    It's good to hear that you actually have experience with the app in question. So many forum responders have never even used a particular app or have encountered various issues but have opinions and recommendations anyway. WRT my acceptance of the tab's performance, that's what I was initially...

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    Harjan112: Thank you again for your suggestion. My next step will be exactly as you described. I've heard nothing negative about QuickPic and I can't wait to try it out. I do have one concern, however. I read somewhere, and I think it was in a not-so-recent post that warned about some form of...

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    You might be on to something. We bought the tab in July (2013) equipped with Android 4.1.2 and setup the Google account upon initial startup. A few months later, the 4.2.2 upgrade was crammed down my throat then I started noticing the strange/weird stuff. If my memory is correct, stuff relative...

    Post [Q] GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space

    Harjan112 said in a previous post: What exactly do you mean? As in you clear data then restart the tablet and 50 MB appears? Every time you restart, so just to understand 0 data .... restart 50MB.... restart then 50 + 50 =100 and adding 50MB every restart? Yup...that's exactly what's...

    Post [Q] "An update is required to access Samsung services"

    Thank you for your interest in my "other" problem. I did indeed post my question in the Galaxy Note 8.0 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting thread as: "GN8 Gallery data eating up drive space" back on the 1st of March. I thought I was fairly clear on the description and I would appreciate it if you would...
