finally fixed this problem with Google Maps on my Android smartphone: "please enable google apps location access"

[Android] What is "Please enable Google apps location access" error in Google Maps and how to fix it [dotTech Explains] | Reviews, news, tips, and tricks | dotTech

My Android smartphone wouldn't let me simply enable determining my location via GPS within Google Maps. It complained: "please enable google apps location access". The above article pointed me "here": System settings > Accounts > Google > Privacy > Locations settings > "Let Google apps access your location".

I think, with my smartphone "out there" I had run into this problem quite a few times during the last couple of months, never really properly investigating it at my desk. The investigation didn't really cost me a lot of time, but … you know … – now at least the issue is solved.

the printtool process on my Mac OS X Lion MacBook goes wild – related to my "Samsung SCX-4623F" MFP

"Killing" the printtool process itself doesn't help, because it gets restarted and shows the same problem again: eating up CPU resources.

The device is an MFP, i.e. it's also a scanner, and what seems to help me here, is to "kill" the "Smart Panel" (AKA SPanel) process.

I couldn't find a recent driver update on Samsung's support pages.

Avishai Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Avishai Cohen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am just noise-SPAM-ming the neighbourhood with his shuvi elai.
It instantly makes me cry, just out of utter emotion.

He is a kibbutznik. Listen to his music on YouTube! Go and buy his music!
Friends can of course have a "look" at my collection of his music, but he really deserves getting supported.

shuvi elai now runs on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, and that may just turn out to be a loop.
Here are the lyrics for shuvi elai.

Maybe amongst many other important reasons I love his music, because I love the bass a lot. I really miss playing my Rickenbacker (4001).

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 vs. Google Mail Contacts

If you go to Google Mail with GalaxyTab's builtin web browser for looking up your Contacts: they are not there. The web app knows the browser and suppresses the display of the Contacts. That way they make you use the builtin Contacts Android app. That one is not bad or ugly, but I don't like to get my usual way simply removed.

using the Samsung SCX-4623F as a fax printer

Eigenschaften von SCX-4623F | Drucker & MFP (Laser MFP) von Samsung

After successfully setting up a big brother of this device, I was eager enough to finally get the fax printer feature of this devices (in my home office) successfully set up as well.

Downloaded their latest printing software, installed it, gave the fax printer a try, worked. Great!

Now I can finally transmit documents as fax through this device again. Love it.
