    Is there a way to lock your screen while watching YouTube or other live streams on other apps?

    I have this same problem. I have a flip case for my phone, so the only thing I can do so far is leave the screen on but close the case to protect it.

    Why has my predictive text forgotten the words "by" and "or"?

    No matter what the context, the predictive text on my HTC-10 phone refuses to ever tyoe the words "by" or "or. To type "by" I have to type "bye" and delete the "e"- every single time. Why do I need to find work-arounds for basic english words?!? This week it lost the word "or" as well! I...

    Android Tablet Upgrade Suggestions?

    Wish I knew. My beloved Iconia tablet was just killed by Android's planned obsolescence, and I'm hoping to find something that will last more than 2 years before they slow it to a crawl.

    My Iconia Tablet is Dead

    I loved that tablet, but in recent months everything slowed to a crawl and no one on any forum could help me. When I say "slowed to a crawl" I mean it would take 2-7 full minutes of pounding on an icon before it even registered that I had tapped it. I got rid of Facebook (there's no chance of...

    Adding a Word to the T9 Dictionary

    1) The options wheel no longer appears under my T9 button, because that is the only place it would let me put the voice-to-text icon. 2) I found the dictionary, but it will not let me enter words with apostrophes. My LG G3 "smart" phone REFUSES to accept the word "hasn't" in any form. It'll...

    Are there any virtual T9 numeric touchpad apps for Android phones?

    Ideally someone would make a smartphone with a numeric touchpad for texting, but no one anywhere in the world makes this. I can't stand trying to text or post on a touch screen- taking 10 minutes and both hands just to end up with some garbled stream of characters with the grammar of a 3rd...

    Why does it slow to a crawl after 1am?

    By gallery apps, you mean my photos? I went into settings for every app but couldn't find anything about sync-ing. Also tried stopping the app killer but it didn't help. What could be happening from 1-2am every night to slow it down so much? I can never tell what's running on an Android device...

    Why does it slow to a crawl after 1am?

    Why does my tablet slow to a crawl late at night, usually after 1am? I mean ridiculously painfully slow- it can take several full minutes for the Settings to load, for example, or several full minutes of tapping an app icon over and over before it even highlights, let alone loads. I use...

    Why does Video app demand my browsing history?!?

    I believe it's the Acer Video app, it just says "Video" version 2.4.3.0001. It may be called abVideo. I tried to play a video today and it insisted I update it first. Fine, but in order to update I have to allow it access to, among other things, my browsing history. What?!? Why does it need...

    Why can't it handle Facebook anymore?

    A few months ago this tablet worked perfectly- now it can barely handle Facebook. Model 210, Android version 4.1.1 I've run virus scans many times and found nothing amiss. This slow-down happened overnight, but I don't remember the exact date. It just started working really slow. Was there some...

    Problems with Fox News App

    I've contacted them and left feedback. It seems to be running better, but I still have problems even when I'm not using the app- I'll type something but there's a 5-10 second delay before the letters appear. This never happened before that Fox News update. (BTW I'm the "guest" who posted this...
