I did get an OTG cable that has a 90-degree bend downward, thus blocking access to the headphone jack. I then got another one that was straight out, no access problem. I've heard there's one that has an upward bend. As far as powering a HDD, I've got a 500 GB Passport, about the physical size of...

My flash drive is 64 gb, no problem here.

I use an iPad (belongs to my kids and wife). I like it, but could never get past the iTunes restrictions. In fact, I hated iTunes. Transferring files between computers was unnecessarily cumbersome. In the pc world, that task is so much easier. Ever since I got the nexus 10, I haven't touched the...

Thank you guys! I purchased the Nexus Media Importer, all's good now. The other apps all required rooting, which I don't want to do.

Obviously I need to reduce the size of those BD movies, and most likely convert them to another format. I intend to store them on a 64 GB flash drive, and play them off that. What tools do I need to do this job? What is the recommended file format? I'd like to retain the 1920 x 1080 resolution...

Thanks for the help, but I don't think I explained my post very well. :) I read up on Google Voice, and it's something different than what I am looking for. What I'm asking about is this: supposed somebody leaves a voicemail on my phone, I'd see the voicemail icon at the upper left corner. Is...

My brother used to have an iPhone, now using the Note 2. He said that on the iPhone, whenever people left voicemails, there was a notification that actually showed the caller(s) who left those messages. With the Note 2, we get the missed call icon, and the voicemail icon, but we can't associate...

There are some files that need to be more protected on my phone. On my desktop computer, I use True Crypt, but they don't have a mobile version. What do you guys use? Thanks,

I just installed Real Time GPS Tracker, so far I like it!!! A friend and I tried it, I can see his latitude, longitude, vehicle speed, elevation, direction, accurate to a few meters.

So with these apps, if I install either one on my phone and my son's phone, I can see where he is on a map?

Can you give some specific names, so I can search for 'em? Thanks,

A friend of mine and his kids all have iPhone, iPhone5 I think. He has an app installed whereby he can see where his kids are at all times. The kids' phones have to be on, of course. So on his phone, the kids' phones appear as dots on a map. That's real cool. Do we have any Android app that does...

From what I understand, Kies is a software that allows transfers between the phone and a PC. Wouldn't a USB cable be a simpler approach? I've done neither, that's why I asked. Thanks,

Started just recently. Clicked on an app to start downloading, then I saw the "Accept the Terms" page, clicked OK, then saw the "Install" box, clicked on that, then it all started back at the "Accept the Terms" page, followed by "Install", and the cycle continues. Tried several apps from the...

I downloaded an app called "photo editor", maybe the same one you used before?
