    What is the width of the display?

    I got a Pixel 4A (four G version) when it came out last year. Overall, it's solid. However, the width of the display is relatively narrow (makes certain apps, games, and internet browsing an inferior experience in what it can display, and relatively tiny fonts) that I'm looking to upgrade to a...

    Pixel 4a Size

    Some people do have small hands. I've met women (and one guy) who were jealous that men have hands that are 50% bigger, so, to each their own. I will admit that I wish the screen size was bigger. I'm comparing my p4a to my LG G4, and it seems to be a sidegrade in some areas (even though it's...

    How underpowered really is the Pixel 4a?

    I too was initially concerned with this phone being underpowered. What got me to go ahead anyways include: 1) The $350 price tag is quite nice. I'm really not willing to shell out more bucks for something that's faster 2) I really don't see myself needing that extra processing power. Sure...

    Utilities to transfer data/save files, contacts, and other stuff from LG G4 to new, same one

    The camera on my LG G4 refuses to focus, so I figure I'll just get a new LG G4. Old one is running Android 6.0. Are there any utilities to transfer data save files? Specifically, I can load up a game and pick up where I left off from Through some quick searching, I've found stuff like...

    I cant add check boxes in my notes Samsung Galaxy Note8

    I had the same issue on a Samsung Tab Active2. While inside the Samsung Notes app, or an individual note/memo, tap on the options button at the top right (the "3 dots"), and select "Rich formatting" (or editing?). That restored that bar with more options (checkbox, bold, italics, underline, etc.)

    Anyway to fix the camera (it's not focusing) on your own?

    When the camera tries to focus on something, half the time, it just keeps making a "whirling" noise, but can't focus, and picture comes out blurry. When you look at the back, the "black sensor" (on the left) has a small red dot that just keeps blinking. I've seen advice to wipe all 3 lenses...

    What is the Best Android Phone under $200?

    Oh, there's an actual list.. the poll! I don't have any experience with those phones. Closest I can think up of is I'm using a used LG G4. It's spectacular, but when I got it last year, it was $220 used, and ranged at $180 to $300 used, so it's hit or miss in satisfying the criteria for this...

    Are you going to get Super Mario Run?

    I first tried this in an Apple Store demo iPhone. I was bummed that it wasn't out for Android (yet, as it was between that 3 month period before it would get released on Android). I was sort of in a "would rather not give Apple more money" phase, but also, this game requires internet, and all...

    Super Mario Run on Android vs. iPhone - what are the differences?

    Unless I'm missing something else here, I'm not seeing why anybody would expect a purchase on iOS to work on Android, and vice versa. Nintendo does have your data and profiles saved no matter which platform you're on. However, Android and iOS do NOT play nice with each other, so it's either...

    Does HP call you with issues about your Chromebook?

    Thanks for the take! Windows scammers are out there en mass, I believe Mac users also go through the same thing. I have NEVER heard of something like this for Chromebooks. What were they going to do? Try to trick payments into "enabling updates"?

    Does HP call you with issues about your Chromebook?

    At first, it sounded like one of those telephone scams, but I do recall talking with an Indian fellow who helped me with sending my CB in for repairs about... 2 years ago. His concern was from what he could tell from his end, my CB was not receiving updates. I won't be able to get to my CB...

    Is this what I should expect from all chromebooks?

    While my Chromebook experience (HP, 14" model) isn't always "buttery smooth", it still runs smoothly enough most of the time that that I wouldn't want to give it up. Not especially at the price I paid ($190 used). I still get the same issues every now and then (scrolling lags, and while...

    File manager on Chromebook

    Not sure... can you elaborate, or provide some examples? The most I do with any file manager (Windows, Unix, iOS, Android, Palm OS) is to list files, show data like size, categorize them by file type. I've always thought that was just basic stuff. Yes. Selecting the desired file, then...

    Ea games needs reported

    How are these payments being made? Can you stop the payment at the sources, like telling you credit card company to block future payments, and refund back the erroneous charges?
