    What's the best alternative to the Galaxy Tab S series?

    I have a Galaxy Tabe S8+ and a couple of years ago, I decided I'd wait until the S11 line to upgrade. Unfortunately, there is no S11+ and I find the Ultra too big and the normal too small. I want a high end Android tablet with a 12" screen. What's a good option?

    Question Is it possible to unlock an Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S21) if the screen doesn't work?

    So the screen died on my dad's phone somehow. The phone can still be powered on and charged, but the screen is completely dead. He has some pictures and files he'd like to get off of it so I have the phone and am trying to help. My initial plan was to plug a monitor into the phone and use that...

    How to download free watch faces?

    I can't seem to download free watch faces. I launch the Wear app, tap the Watch Faces option, scroll all the way down to the More watch faces on Google Play link and tap that. From there, if I find a free watch face I like and try to install it, the progress will show pending and it never...

    March security update

    After downloading that update, my touchscreen freezes up. It happened right after the update and has happened at least twice a day since. The buttons work, the dial works, I can see active animation on the screen (watch hands) moving, but touching the screen does absolutely nothing unless I hard...

    Help with notifications

    I have a Galaxy Watch 5 and used to have it paired with my Galaxy S22 Ultra. When I'd get notifications, say a text message, I'd get the notification on both the watch and phone. If I had the watch handy, I would read it there, then swipe up to clear it. The notification would remain on the...

    Is there a way to determine what has recently been downloaded?

    I noticed the battery on my phone was lower than expected. Down to 91% in a little over an hour after taking it off the charger and that's with no use at all. Running GSAM, it showed that 80% of the use was from the Phone Radio. After tapping on that, it showed me that within the last hour...

    What's the best way/app/setting to get Android to read me incoming text messages over Bluetooth?

    Is there no way to do this? I have a couple more days that I can return the phone. I'd like to figure out how to do this or else I'll have to ditch Android. Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    What's the best way/app/setting to get Android to read me incoming text messages over Bluetooth?

    I just switched from Windows Phone to Android (Lumia 1520 to Galaxy Note 5) and I'm thinking of switching back. The main reason is lack of voice support, mainly when it comes to texting. It's so integrated into the Windows OS that I took it for granted. Windows could do it natively back in...

    Windows phone worth it?

    I just switched from Windows Phone to Android (Lumia 1520 to Galaxy Note 5) and I'm thinking of switching back. The main reason is lack of voice support, mainly when it comes to texting. It's so integrated into the OS that I took it for granted. Windows could do it natively back in 2010...
