    Left on overnight with a charged battery but next morning would not start. Tried to charge battery but no indication. Also with alternative working charger and cable. Tried power/vol buttons to start but again nothing. Phone seems to be bricked, no screen or sound, nothing. Is this more likely...

    Security Updates

    Whilst I read that this excellent tablet will not get the latest Nougat 7 software, will it continue to receive monthly security updates. Haven't seen it for this month, September 2016?

    Do Not Disturb on Nexus 5X

    Is it possible to have a notification on the Locked and/or Home screen to indicate that DND is set? My phone is set to show all notifications on the Locked screen but this one does not appear and it is easy to forget that DND has been set. Cheers Ron

    Encryption

    Encryption set on my tablet would make it secure unless you enter the password. Without encryption set I still use password access. Why is encryption more secure given that access in both cases described requires a password?

    Help Hi Suite for Huawei

    I have installed this software on my pc and it functions well. But the only way I can read what I have copied to Hi Suite is when my phone is connected ... which seems a bit limiting, what if you loose the phone or it stops functioning!

    Help App Permissions

    I note that my bank app also 'requires' access to most of the 'personal' content of my Android phone and tablet so I asked them why ... They answered ... "Permissions are standard across all apps and this is something which has been set up as an agreement with most tablet, iPad and phone...

    Help Stopping some Google Apps

    There are a lot of Google Apps on my android 4.4.2 phone that I do not use ... for example 'Books'. Which of the initially installed Google Apps can I safely stop so that they do not constantly update etc. All the Apps 'talk about' stopping them can cause problems in other Apps! Thanks Ron
