SOLVED! Scan to Email not working on Sharp MFP with Office 365

We had several Sharp MFP’s (MX-M364N, MX-M266N, and MX-M464N) that scan to email suddenly stopped working on. When trying to scan to email, the MFP would show a network error CE-00.  Checking the settings, SMTP was correct, LDAP was correct, IP/DNS/Gateway was correct. Looking at the Job Log on one of the MFP’s I saw a line that the Result column said Send Error and  Continue reading SOLVED! Scan to Email not working on Sharp MFP with Office 365

Notification Sounds Do Not Work After Android Marshmallow 6.0 Update [SOLVED]

Marshmallow Android at GoogleNotification Sounds Issue

Android 6.0 Marshmallow comes with a lot of new features to be excited about. Unfortunately, new releases include bugs and other hiccups. After waiting for the Marshmallow update to be released to my Samsung Galaxy s5, I noticed that my notification sounds were not working for incoming text, etc. Videos would play in my YouTube app, but I missed some text that came in because I did not hear the sound. I checked to make sure that the sound settings for notifications were still set correctly; they were.

I started searching around to see if anyone had the issue. Some people in a forum suggested resetting the phone to factory defaults and not syncing the backed up data to the phone. Several unlucky people tried the suggestion us to find themselves with a squeaky clean phone and no notification sounds.

Searching more, several users reported that doing several reboots corrected their issue. So, since I really did not want to reset my phone (holding out a little longer to upgrade to the new Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge), I rebooted my phone a few times. I rebooted it about 3 or 4 times and BAM! my notification sounds were working again. Thanks to helpmynexusgoogle for the working solution!

So glad I did not have to reset my phone. I hope this will help someone that runs into the same small but annoying issue.
