    Backed up photos aren't sorted into folders

    Try tapping the hamburger menu button (three lines in the top-left corner) and then tap "Device folders". This will show the photos by the folders that are on your phone. If Snapseed puts the photos into a specific folder (which I'm not sure of as I've never used it), you should be able to see it.

    Is there a way to create shortcut to Close All

    I normally don't close the recent apps unless something running is obviously taking a toll on my battery or performance (Shazam used to be a battery drainer if you left it open in the background, not sure if it still is though ). Like they said, most of the time, it's better for the OS to use as...

    What's your earliest Android OS?

    4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich, on an awful single-core Chinese tablet that froze up all the time and would be unusable today. It did get an update to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean, though, which ultimately didn't help things. Quite honestly, I can deal with slight lag on my tablet or one of my phones, because I...

    Why is my messages app still the old kind?

    If Android Messages is what you're referring to, then this was apparently a widespread change that affected everyone. https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/8/18/17747018/google-reverts-android-messages-update

    I have a Samsung Galaxy s5 and it won't update to Nougat

    The S5 doesn't have an official Nougat update, unless you meant a different Galaxy phone. The last update was Marshmallow, so it sounds like you're at the end of the cycle anyway. The only way to get Nougat would be to install a custom ROM on it.

    How to change browser

    You should be able to install another browser from the Play Store and disable Chrome with no issues. When you open a link from an app, it should open in the new browser instead. When you have more than one browser on the phone, it'll ask you which one you want to use when you open a link. In...

    Moto G4 Play XT1607

    They go for about $50-70 used on eBay, currently. As for clearing everything, just do a factory reset from Settings > Backup & reset. It removes everything from the phone, including your Google Account. Everything that's saved to your Google Account (cloud photos, contacts, etc.) stays in the...

    Will my Moto G4 Play get Nougat?

    Well, there were issues. A short while after doing the initial update, I started getting persistent System UI crashes (where it would go black and reboot to the lock screen), which I couldn't determine the root cause of. Fortunately, a factory reset seems to have fixed it. Also, there is now...

    Does LG G7 support Daydream?

    Doing some research, it appears to not be compatible. The G7 has an LCD screen, while Daydream is only supported on OLED screens.

    Can't identify this logo

    If you have a Google search bar on your home screen, it will also have the always-listening for "OK Google" whenever you're on your home screen. To get rid of that, just remove the search bar.

    Microsoft app (Excel, Word, One Note) stopped working.

    Is there enough space on your phone? Crashing apps and other bugs can happen sometimes when the phone is very low on space. You might also want to try a cache partition wipe. Here are instructions: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-29236

    what was your first smartphone?

    Galaxy S3, bought in November 2013. It's long-in-the-tooth now, but still holds a place in my heart as the phone that got me hooked on Android. I did have an HTC Windows Mobile phone at one point in 2010, but I wouldn't even classify that as a "smart" phone. Hated that thing with a passion.

    how do I forward a text message

    Welcome to AC! You can typically just hold down on the text message and then tap "Forward", or the Forward icon, which is usually an arrow pointing to the right. It does vary depending on your phone/messaging app, however.

    Got the notification a few weeks ago on my retail XT1607, but just installed it today. So far, so good!

    What is the eyeball next to my wifi signal strength

    That sounds like the Smart Stay feature. The icon comes on when it's detecting your face to see if you're looking at the tablet. You can turn Smart Stay off under Settings > Display.

    I have a microphone on my keyboard but cant get speech to text to work

    Do you have the Google app disabled? If so, you'll need to re-enable it in Settings to make speech-to-text work.
