A:AnswerThe only suggestion I have for this is to start over. It's very easy to do but starting over will erase all data and apps you have previously added. Go to General under Settings (*) if you want to reset you will find Personal Data, click on Factory data reset. Then you can start over and select the correct language.
A:AnswerNo you cannot plug a thumb drive into the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 you can get a micro SD card as long as it's no more then 32 gigabytes because the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 does not support Micro SD cards that are more than 32 gigabytes. Then put the movies onto the micro SD card then put the microSD card into the microSD card slot on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4. You also have to make sure that the movies are in the correct format but the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 does support many formats.
A:AnswerThat is dependent on the manufacturer, Samsung. If they decide that this tablet should receive an operating system update then they will push it out to this version. Unfortunately, I believe that decision is driven more on the economical standpoint. Is it worth spending the money to test and approve an update for this model?. I would say if this tablet were 2 or 3 models old, than I would think Samsung wouldn't bother updating this device. But this tablet is a recent model so the next update of Google's "Lollipop" should be pushed down to this device.
A:AnswerI can and do. I've only tried one podcast player on it (podcast addict) and it works well for me. Watch your storage limitations (see my review under TravelinDog). Been using both earphones and Bluetooth and happy with the performance.
A:AnswerI would not recommend the 8 GB version for your parents.
The device is easy to use. However, the version of Android that it comes with really wants to install all the apps in main storage. Even if you put a 32 GB card in it, the apps are all going to get stored in the 8 GB that came with the device. If your parents aren't the least bit technical, if they find apps that they like they will easily fill the 8 GB, which will eventually get very frustrating for them.
I recommend you get a tablet that has a minimum of 16 GB, or comes with Android Marshmallow (which allows for installation on external media). I rooted my tablet to handle this drawback (and even then it's a pain as the Galaxy Tab 4 doesn't keep the settings through power cycles and I have to keep it charged or put the icons back on the desktop all the time).
