    Android Tablet Upgrade Suggestions?

    I had been hoping for a new Nexus7 but now it looks like that is unlikely. I am on my Nexus7(2013). It and my phone are my main devices but my phone is more powerful. The Nexus7(2013) is noticeably better than the Nexus7(2012). I hate the Nexus9. Other Android tablets need rooting and a lot...

    What is your dream phone?

    Ask any of us former WebOS people, wireless charging is the only way. I can't believe that I have had to go back to wires.

    What is your dream phone?

    I have several phone needs/wants that aren't popular. 1) First and foremost, it must work well as a phone. 2) PHYSICAL QWERTY KEYBOARD- this is a deal breaker for me as I have specific needs 3) Removable/swappable battery- I am not talking about opening the case to replace a faulty battery. I...

    Would you buy a BlackBerry if it's running Android?

    My husband feels this is my next phone. I want to see it first. It does look like the best choice for me that has come around in a while.

    Could physical keyboards be an ADA issue?

    Some people just prefer physical keyboards but others, like me, have medical issues that make virtual keyboards useless. I am using an old phone running ICS because I can't find a newer/better phone with a physical, qwerty keyboard. I can find a nice new phone that has settings for hearing...

    Phone stopped syncing Google, tablet stopped syncing Microsoft - need help.

    Mom called because her tablet had an error that it failed to sync Microsoft. Later she tells me that her phone has this "weird icon" - it is failing to sync Google. She has network and can connect through Chrome on either device. Tried resetting, rebooting, the basics. No luck. The phone is...

    Looking for casual games with team play.

    I am looking for games with team challenges. We want casual games that can be picked-up and dropped as life needs. Not something where we die in combat because someone had to take care of something. Also, not interested in challenges that run a month or longer. That's a game not challenge. We...

    Former WebOS Users Discussion Thread

    Tasks- "Tasks Free" or the checklist function of "ColorNote" but these are not robust enough for everyone ClassicNote - "PalmNote" (it pulled in my Palm Desktop) or "Note Everything" which allows for file passwords TapNote - all of the cloud storage apps on Android now have their own editors...

    Waiting for a physical keyboard?

    I looked at the F3Q and Terrain. I chose the Terrain. Both phones suffer from a lot of the same problems. They both have limited system memory (I am always looking for apps that save to the sd partition). They both have problems with Google Play not letting you have apps because of them not...

    Can NEC Terrain be rooted

    I am looking for confirmation that anyone has succeeded in rooting the NEC Terrain (NE-201A1A). I have seen people having trouble and questionable/incomplete postings but I haven't seen a definitive yes. Although I have been using Nexus7s this is my first Android phone. (I'm a webOS lover.). I...

    Former WebOS Users Discussion Thread

    Thanks. I haven't tried that. I have emailed them to myself and used my Box account. The real problem is that so many apps on webOS and Android use Google Drive to backup or export data. It seems like most active apps have developers working around this. I have found at least a few Android...

    Former WebOS Users Discussion Thread

    So I have been getting very frustrated with my new Android phone. I'll skip the whole rant fest here. So my question of the day is... Has anyone tried phem, the PalmOS emulator? Thanks everyone for suggestions. Some things I have tried and some I am just bookmarking until my new SD card...

    Help finding a calendar app

    Thank you. Business Calendar with its favorites bar is what I was looking for.

    Former WebOS Users Discussion Thread

    Thank you for your help so far. I like Business Calendar best so far. I am having a dilemma with a clock. Right now I am running Digital Alarm Clock. I realized my problem isn't the app. I am missing my Touchstone. I have a bunch of touchstones and my Pre has become my alarm clock because...

    Help finding a calendar app

    I haven't tried Calengoo. It looks like a fine app but I have looked through all the lit and I don't see where it lets me easily select which calendars to view. I don't want to pay $6 for something that isn't what I want. I have already tried 10 apps and looked at/researched dozens that I...
