MS Outlook 2016 for Gmail

I was trying to set up MS Outlook 2016 to work with Gmail, but the default settings simply do not work.

You will first need to make changes in your Gmail settings that are described here: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7126229.

Then when setting up your Outlook client, do it manually, and go deep into the settings to change the incoming and outgoing ports to match what are on the page linked above, turning on authentication for outgoing mail.

Next, if you have 2-Step Verification for your Google Accounts (which I recommend you do, for better security), you'll find that your gmail password will not work to connect through Outlook. You will need to add an "App password" for Outlook at this link https://security.google.com/settings/security/apppasswords.
More detailed instructions on how to set up an "App password" for Outlook can be found here: https://www.msoutlook.info/question/902.

New Gmail emails not showing up in Inbox, only showing up in "All Mail"

If you're having this problem, check to see if new emails you are receiving are getting the "Inbox" label. If they are not, go into Settings -> "Filters and Blocked Addresses" and check them carefully. You may be skipping your Inbox!

Downloading Voicemail Audio from Project Fi

If you have Project Fi, you can access, share, and download your voice mail from the internet from your Google Voice account.

1. Log in to your Project Fi account.

2. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the page and click on the "Google Voice" link.

3. Find your voice mail on the list, then click the "more" button to open a list of options to save or share your voicemail. You can download the audio from a voice mail as an mp3; very convenient..

How to Refresh Thumbnails on Google Chrome New Tab Page

In brief, for Windows 7: If you want to refresh the thumbnails shown on your Chrome browser New Tab page for your most visited sites, you can point your Run command or navigate your Explorer to the address:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\

Then delete the file named "Top Sites." You will need to close Chrome when you are deleting it. When you re-open Chrome and open a New Tab, the thumbnails will be missing, but if you re-visit the pages, the thumbnails will repopulate.

The page at howtogeek.com describes how to do it for older versions of Chrome, but in the most recent version of Chrome (as of this posting on Windows Version 42.0.2311.90 m), the file you need to delete is "Top Sites" not "Thumbnails." This will probably also be the solution for other operating systems (Mac, Ubuntu, etc.).

Gallery App on Android Crashes with Share

I had this problem: Every time I hit the share button anywhere using the Gallery app in Android, Gallery would crash. It made picture file manipulation quite difficult, and I just resorted to using other file managing apps. What an inconvenience!

When I searched for the answer I found this: http://inside-galaxy.blogspot.com/2013/12/samsung-galaxy-s3-how-to-fix-gallery.html.

It turns out that I had caused the problem, because in a flurry of turning off built-in apps, I turned off the "Paper Artist" app, which caused the crash on Gallery sharing.

When I Turned On the Paper Artist app, it fixed the problem.

Who would've thought that warning which stated "Turning off built-in apps may cause errors in other apps." would actually apply to anything?

Hope this is useful for anyone else with this issue.

My system for anyone who cares:
Software version: L900VPUCNE2
Hardware version: L900.09
Model number: SPH-L900
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: L900VPUCNE2
Kernel version: 3.0.31-1561791, dpi@SWDD5716 #1
Build number: KOT49H.L900VPUCNE2
SE for Android statue: Enforcing, SEPF_SPH-L900_4.4.2_0016

Update (4/23/15): If the above strategy does not work, then you may want to check where your pictures are being saved and accessed.
I continued having problems with pictures on my phone, and the problem turned out to be a hardware one. The 64 GB microSD card I had installed was failing. I sent back the microSD card for a full refund, and bought a new 64 GB one (for cheaper, since the price has been dropping on memory!). Fixed a problem and made some cash, win-win.

Blurry 2560x1080 Display

I just got a SuperWide 21:9 monitor, and when I plugged it in via the DVI cable that was running my previous monitor, I was dismayed to find that on the highest resolution (2560x1080) the display was blurry. I was barely able to read text. After some searching for answers, I found one in an unlikely place. I discovered that it wasn't a software issue, but just a cable issue.

The DVI cable that was connecting my previous monitor was "single link DVI." I had to use the "dual link DVI" cable that came with the monitor. Same plug, just more pins.

Problem solved.

Hopefully anyone else with this same issue can find their answer solved here quickly without wandering.
