Re: Classic Backup

Re: Key2 says it will play .mp4 files, but my Key2 actually won't play .mp4 files

Should work on the OP's device.

To add to my post above, before anything else, simply reboot (restart) the device and try again.

Re: Creating and Editing Text Files in FILES App

If you can use TextEditHD then that is the best solution. You don't need the workaround.
