You should use the Email app to read and send email from services other than Gmail. Email includes a wizard that makes it easy to configure it for several popular email service providers, including those based on IMAP, POP3, and Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

Yes.

1. To make any account the default primary account be sure it is the first account listed under SETTINGS, ACCOUNTS, GOOGLE.

2. If it is not the first account listed you can delete and re-add to make the next account on the list primary.

3. If the account you wish to be primary is not the default account you can also change within the GOOGLE applications.

For example, if you select GOOGLE PLAY and then the MENU bar (3 vertical dots) then select ACCOUNTS you will be provide a list of your current accounts to select from. This selection will remain the default primary account for THAT application.

You can uninstall Shadowgun, Deadtrigger, Hockey Nations, WildTangent, Nvision, and Tegrazone. All other apps that come preinstalled on your tablet are known as system apps. These can not be uninstalled because they are part of the version of the Android OS running on your Wikipad.

On most devices, system apps include native google apps, such as google maps.

However, you can disable pre-installed GOOGLE PLAY system apps through your device settings. After a system app has been disabled it will be hidden on your device.

If you have disaabled an app you can reenable the app with the following steps:

1. Go to SETTINGS, under DEVICE go to APPS.

2. Swipe TO ALL.

3. Scroll to bottom of the list to view disabled apps.

4. Touch the app from the list you wish to enable.

5. Select ENABLE

*Please note that disabling a built-in app may cause other apps to misbehave and will delete your associated data from that app.

1. Select SETTINGS, under DEVICE select APPS. You will see it has defaulted to downloaded apps on the MENU bar at the top of your screen.

2. Select the application you wish to uninstall and select UNINSTALL.

*Note if you go to the MYAPPS section of the GOOGLE PLAY STORE at any time you will be able to reinstall any purchased applications that you have previously removed.

Try the following:

1. Remove tablet from controller and attempt to charge directly.

2. Plug Wikipad power adapter directly into a wall socket rather than a surge protector or power bar.

3. If there is power remaining in the tablet, back it up and perform a factory reset.

4. Using the USB cord provided with the Wikipad plug directly into a MAC or PC.

5. If none of the above resolve the charging issue please call Wikipad Support at (888) 997-4544.

Be sure the image you want is displayed on the screen.
Press the Power and Volume down buttons simultaneously.

The screenshot is automatically saved in your Gallery.

Transfer files through USB
You can use a micro-USB to USB cable to transfer music, pictures, and other files from your tablet to a computer and vice versa. This connection uses the MTP protocol, which is supported by most recent versions of Windows but not by Mac OS X. For file transfer to Mac OS X, you use the free Android File Transfer application.

Windows transfer

Connect your tablet to the USB port on your computer. Its USB storage is mounted as a drive and appears on your computer screen.
Copy files back and forth as you would using any other external device.
When you finish, eject the tablet from within Windows before unplugging the USB cable.
Mac OS transfer

Install Android File Transfer from www.android.com/filetransfer, and follow the instructions there. (If you are using Android File Transfer for the first time, double-click it to open it. After the first connection, it opens automatically whenever you connect.)
Connect your Wikipad to your computer with a USB to MicroUSB cable. Android File Transfer starts, if it’s not already running, and opens a window that displays the contents of your tablet, along with storage space details at the bottom of the window.
Work with this window much as you do in the Finder window: open and close folders, create new folders, and drag files to or from it and other Finder windows.
Disconnect the USB cable when you finish.
