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'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...

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...

Just what it says in the subject. A song can be playing then just stop. I have to hit the Play button again. It can continue for quite a while across multiple songs, or just stop again in 15 seconds, or 30 seconds, or 5 minutes, or ... Again and again. Needless to say, I want to throw it across...

Would like to be able to select a group that has multiple members so that I can send a single text message that all receive. Example : We have a group that gets together for dim sum every Sunday. It would be great to have a group called "Dim sum regulars" that I could select from a list, then...

When apps are free but don't contain ads, how do they make money? I'm suspicious of all these free apps with 1M+ downloads. How do they make money? I"m ok with ad supported apps, but not big on anything that either mines my personal info and resells it, or even scans my messages and posts to...

Is there any way to do this? Have found some options with 3rd party apps for SMS, but nothing on emails. I have the emails in the Outlook Inbox on my desktop as well if that helps. I guess I could forward the important ones to myself so they're picked up on the new deivce, but I'd have...

FWIW, I've revisited this issue and found the following PIMs that sync with Outlook. Still exploring, but here they are with a summary of my findings to date : - Pocket Informant (full featured PIM, only syncs using their PI on line system) - DejaOffice syncing using CompanionLink (full...
