    disable stock email app

    Not many let you fully disable it without 3rd party intervention. As long as you remove any accounts from the email app, though, it shouldn't cause any issues.

    Cleaning up contacts

    You canngo to contact settings and view by source (email, gmail, cloud, etc.). But it sounds like you may benefit from going to your account settings for your work email and unchecking Contacts under Sync. After that, you can download a merging app if you so choose to get rid of duplicates and...

    Moto Mods

    This mirrors my experience with Samsung TouchWiz as well.. Nice and shiny, inexcusable system lags considering the hardware. I don't have much experience with LG but i would wager it falls between the two, speed wise, probably leaning towards the Droid. But yes, until the Pixel arrives, the Z...

    Lack of storage space for a Samasung Tab S

    Oh yeah, i completely forgot that some (all?) phones let you clear all app cache at once. Easiest thing to try! Personally I'm still a fan of a hard reset after major update.. probably just ptsd from working on Windows 9x/ME computers for a living after service packs.. The horror...

    Lost all contacts in my S5 today - after some type of system upgrade

    OR... Apple hax0r3d your phone to get you to hate Android! :mad: Seriously though, sorry to hear. It does sound like they might be gone. Any chance you have one of your old phones? Might be able to salvage a few via bluetooth.

    New Photos Taken are Showing Up Blank

    I initially thought it may be just a cache error (sometimes the gallery saves incorrect thumbnails), which usually only requires you to go into your Apps and Clear Cache. But honestly i think you answered your own question.. same problem with 2 devices, SD card the common denominator, Occam's...

    Lack of storage space for a Samasung Tab S

    One of your games is loading a few gigs on internal (some apps move to sd, but still load files internally) Or your system cache needs to be cleared. Or you have an app constantly caching crap amd filling up space. Or you have a battery saving app/antivirus/combination (most do more harm than...

    My camera icon dissapeared

    Find it inbyour App Drawer, hold your finger on it drag to the home screen. Not to be negative, but if you can post on a forum you have some amount of tech knowledge- i would highly recommend YouTube for basic Android OS features or using the Help app built into your phone.. otherwise you will...

    Moto Mods

    Off Topic, but I have to say I have elevated hopes for the V20 and Pixel. V20 screen bleeding doesn't look great, but IMO we're at the point where even the "worst" high end device is going to be an impressive one. Trade-offs; V20 has removable battery, SD slot (!!) and awesome analog audio...

    Lost all contacts in my S5 today - after some type of system upgrade

    First, did you have any of your contacts synced to Google or some other backup program? Anything you find Important should always be backed up, given electronic devices can never be presumed infallible. Updates shouldn't have touched your sim contacts at all, though, even if it somehow deleted...

    The Latest Update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab E Extended My Startup Time. Help!

    Is this every boot? If so, easiest fix is to back up data and hard reset.

    Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this?

    Replace the screen?

    Moto Mods

    Vzw had Buy 1 get 1 50% off, but you've missed it. They still have $50 off the camera and projector, though.

    My phone's adaptive brightness keeps changing the brightness constantly, is it normal?

    Probably. The sensor is typically at the top, near the earpiece. Your body (hand, head, arm, shoulder) might be interfering. None of us sit perfectly still, especially reading on a smartphone. The only way i can think of to truly test it is in a room with no light, leavig the screen timer on...

    Re: Best Buy Just Advised Me They Will Exchange / Return My Replacement Note 7 Good luck, this recall debauchery has driven plenty of us away from Samsung devices.
