Looking for Answers about samsung XE550C22?

A new Chromebook was set up with incorrect user as the owner. Can I perform a system reset to delete all users and then enter the correct owner?

I downloaded Quicken 2012 using my samsung but it won't allow me to open it and use it. I've put it into my chrome doc, but that doesn't help.

(1) I know how to use my Chromebook to connect to Wi-Fi hotspots. (Please don't try to explain this to me.)
(2) I find that about 20% of the time I am unable to connect to a open Wi-Fi hotspot, even though my Chromebook sees the hotspot.
(3) I do not have a problem connecting to these very same hotspots with my other mobile devices.
(4) Are there know issues with the Wi-Fi connectivity of my Samsung Chromebook? Will these be addressed in future updates?

When I am opening a website it ;loads slowly. When I watch videos aside from loading very slow the sound is chappy (start/stop/start/stop)

I have fully charged my chromebook and the indicator shows lots of battery life (60%+) and then the next time I use it, I get a battery low level alert with 7 minutes left!

Is the indicator the problem - - not accurate?

OR, is the battery having a problem? I get about 2.5 hours of checking email, watching youtube videos, web surfing, then it needs to charge.

I lost the sound while watching a show on a train station. The speacker drawing is full. Turned it off and power it onn again but to no avail. Do not have sound since then. How do I restore the sound. I do not see sound setting on the setting menu.

Downloaded webcam toy app and use it in taking pictures. What is the best app to download in taking and editing picture and also taking video?

My chromebook works properly, however there is one issue that I am concerned with. When I plug in the adapter into the chrombook, I find that the small plug barely stays in the socket. It is loose. Also, if I pull it about less than 1 millimeter, it breaks connection and no power is delivered to the chromebook.

Is that how it is supposed to be? I'd say there is a problem with the socket on the chromebook, that it is damaged in some way. It was always loose, but it seems to be gradually getting more lose with time.

Thanks,

Is Samsung ever going to build a Chromebook on an AMD platform? I personally would buy one if it was build on AMD instead of Intel.

Hi, I have a Samsung Series 5 Chromebook (3G model - about 10 months old). It works fine except sometimes it just crashes or freezes up seemingly for no reason. I switched to "dev mode" and rebooted into a shell where I was surprised that it wouldn't let me set a password (the failed output said something about the folder not existing).

I then tried # chromeos-firmwareupdate --mode=todev but as you can see in the screenshot "incompatible firmware image".

I tried to download a recovery image to a USB stick with no luck many times - but I created a recovery drive on a Windows system and proceeded to flash the Chromebook successfully; only for all the same stuff to happen when I go to "dev mode". I can't set a password on dev mode.

It's not a serious problem I don't think. I'm mostly curious is all; in particular about all the Bluetooth-related files, sockets and dmesg activity. cheers
