If it gets much wider then it won't fit in a shirt pocket. What, does everybody carry purses to hold their phones?

I'll try that first because it sounds like it might actually answer why the problem exists. Thanks.

I'll try that next time I work on her phone. Meanwhile, any other ideas? Because this is a work-around, not a solution. The phone simply should not be acting like this. Think she's got a lemon? BTW, re-reading my original post I see that I asked the question poorly. I did ask how to fix it-and...

On my wife's Note 5, standard Contacts app (Android? Samsung? Not sure, came pre-installed) there's a contact with two phone numbers, both labeled Mobile. One is actually Home. I've tried changing it & it changes, but the change doesn't show up after I tap Save. Open the contact, tap Edit. Tap...

Thanks. I'll give it a try.

That's not logic, that's assuming. Logic would say the S4 would last longer *if* it uses no more power than the Nexus. If it does more than the Nexus that complicates the battery life beyond the area where logic can work. (Does more=uses more power. Larger battery=has more power. How much does...

I have a couple of issues with the Android Mail app. First, I use accounts that can go either way, IMAP or POP3. On my PC I have them set as IMAP. I tried that on my phone but all the junk came through to my phone. Getting rid of it manually is a chore but it's not really a problem. SpamAssassin...

But, if you void your warranty then YMMV. Several times I've made duplicate support calls-the 1st tech said "we don't support that" and hung up. I'd call back later & get a 2nd tech who'd say "we don't support that but I've done it myself & here's your problem". So keep in mind that if you want...

For me, it's quirky. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I did suspect what the X & Z meant but couldn't figure out how to use them. Dragging is the answer, now if I could just figure out why it sometimes works & sometimes doesn't. I'm suspecting it's the direction but I'll take your tip...

As I recall, yes. I've set up a test reminder to go off in a bit, we'll see what I can figure out with that. Thanks. OK, I'll have to change my answer to maybe or maybe not. What I have is a calendar at the top, the date/time in the middle with the event name below it and two 'buttons' at the...

Don't worry about being long-winded. For me, the more details you provide the better I like it. It's reassuring to see that I was pretty much right with point #2. I'll look for Dummy's book-probably would have found it before if I could have remembered the name correctly. The reminder I couldn't...

This morning I couldn't figure out how to dismiss a reminder from my calendar except by deleting the event. That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm not an *****. I'm new to Android but I'm very experienced with Windows-so why is Android so hard to use? Perhaps I need to start by understanding where...
