Thanks B. I was afraid of that.

Running a Pixel 2 with PIE. A couple of my key apps haven't been tested yet on Android 10 so I'm reluctant to upgrade to that level. But I keep getting prompts up upgrade and reminders that my system hasn't been updated since August. When I try to look for available security updates I see my...

I have a Pixel 2 running Android 9 Build PQ3A 190801.002 with my latest security patch dated Aug 1, 2019. I'd like to update my security patch and to the latest rev of Android 9 without upgrading to Android 10 as a couple of my key apps haven't been tested on Android 10 yet. But when I go to...

I actually just heard from the developer. Apparently he was on holidays. I've sent him some background he requested so we'll see where this takes us now. As an FYI, I've always found him very responsive and helpful in the past. - R.

Not working for me on 5X (Marshmallow). Worked well on Nexus 4, so I know how to set it up. But now : - Incoming call displays green light when LF is set to red - SMS sometimes no light or sound, sometimes wrong colour of light, sometime right light and sound - Missed Call set to clear when...

Backing up to internal storage gives me an error "Backup Error. An error occurred while performing your app backup. This error may be caused by having a Desktop Backup Password. Please verify your Desktop Backup Password is a blank password, then press back to return to Helium". This happens...

Anyone???

Thanks for the fast response - for others reading, you turn the tone to Silent by using Media Storage to select None (below Default notification sound). I was using ES File Explorer and None didn't show as an option. Makes sense now, but I wouldn't have thought of this before - thanks B. Diddy...

Running Marshmallow on Nexus 5X. I need to have Notifications on for Light Flow to work, but I don't want to hear both the Messenger and Light Flow sounds.

Marshmallow encryption - set/change encryption password, desktop password My Nexus 5 came with Encrypt phone = Encrypted. I set a Screen lock PIN as part of the setup. Is that now the Encryption password? If not, where do I set the Encryption password, and how? Also my Helium backup app is...

VCOrganizer. Full function (Notes, Tasks, Contacts, Calendar), syncs to Outlook on desktop plus through to native People/Calendar apps, and developer is very responsive. Clostest thing to old Palm PIM apps or Pocket Informant I found. Plus - and this was key to me - best-by-far Outlook sync. - R.

I've had a few people receive my texts late, but have always thought the issue was more likely them just not seeing the notifications. But then one took 2 days to arrive on a friend's phone! We're both on Android (I'm on a Nexus 4 running Kit Kat), though I'm on Telus and I believe he's on Wind...

In Handcent when I go to select a group to send a text to, it shows 13 Google/Android groups. Only one, "My Contacts", actually has any records - all the others who 0. Some are groups I created and then deleted in the People app, some I don't recognize. The People app now has only the 3 default...

As an FYI it was definitely the earbuds. 2 different sets now work fine. Really with the Beats FWIW. Thanks again, Diddy!

Hi meyerweb - I appreciate what you're saying. However, I believe it is more correct to say that the device won't natively COMPLETELY sync Outlook, as Notes are not synced. Sorry to be so picky, but when I was looking for my solution to the Outlook sync issue I went down all kinds of blind...

That's possible, but if he'd kept reading the next line said "kies syncs all but notes ". So he wasn't responding to the full post, and if Merlin was looking for a full sync of all the areas involved, then while meyerweb's post was correct, it wasn't appropriate as it did not addresss Merlin's...

If I'm downloading a web page then switch to another app and come back to Chrome later, it doesn't seem to be downloading in the background. It just pauses. Same thing with Youtube. That's a pain - is there some way to have it continue to download in the background? And have Youtube continue to...

Update : Does seem to be an issue with the earbuds. I have now had 3 sessions (working on amy 4th) where I've played musing non-stop from my speakers for 2-3 hours - no interruptions. So now off to hunt for the right earbuds and hope that solves it. I would never have thought it would be...

Including Notes? - R.

Umm ... Merlin said "all but Notes". Your comment says nothing about Notes. So maybe you need to re-read the post you're replying to before you call someone out. - R.
