I have Assistant.ai on my phone. I also have MOSALingua and Duolingo installed for language study. My problem is that if I have Assistant listening in the background for its activation phrase, it interferes with the microphone functions of the other two apps. I have looked in Tasker, Automate...

Since my Kindle Fire is stuck in a boot loop that I haven't had time to deal with, I'm using my fiancée's LG G Pad 7.0 LTE (which she got for free and hadn't touched in several months). One thing that she had complained about I'm now dealing with. The keyboard randomly closes when you're in the...

Uh, that's kind of the point. They don't light up when I touch them. When they go out, which is often, the only way to get them to come back on is to go into settings, switch the "Touch key light duration" from "Always lit" to "Always off" and then back to "Always lit" and they'll come back on...

My Menu and Back buttons won't light up even though in settings "Always Lit" is selected. This was an intermittent problem with KitKat, but since the Lollipop upgrade, they rarely come on. Anyone have any idea what could be going on and how I can resolve it? The buttons still work fine, I just...

Thanks!

I'm studying a second language and one of the tools I use is to listen to mp3 podcasts and read accompanying pdf's at the same time. Right now I have to use both my Note 3 and my Kindle Fire because I have not been able to find an app for either that will play mp3's in the background while...

Also can't do screen capture with S-Pen; I use GO Launcher and it deleted several shortcuts, including one entire folder; I really like voice control and I spent many hours customizing Utter! and AVX and now none of that works and anything done through Tasker is EXTREMELY slow. Google Now's...

Re: Have you received your AT&T Lollipop 5.0 update yet? If so area are you in? Yes, I got it around 5 pm est. I'm in Maryland.

I've had my Note 3 for several months (upgraded from a Note 1) and I've never been able to get my Gmail address to appear in the stock email app. It shows up in the Accounts list and the Gmail app works just fine. Two other Gmail addresses that I have also appear in the stock email app and...

I've disabled what I can, but some apps, like AT&T Navigator, don't give you an option to either disable or uninstall them. There's a monthly charge for Navigator and it's not even as good as Waze, so I'll never activate it. Yet I have to download its updates or live with it constantly in my...

This question isn't specific to the Note, but since that's what I have, I thought I'd ask here. I haven't rooted my phone, so I'm still stuck with the AT&T bloatware. I don't use any of it and I'm tired of having to use my data to update apps I never wanted and have never used (like AT&T...

Thanks for the tip msnderstood! One quibble, though. I also use ES File Explorer and Nova Launcher, but when I just navigate to a file with ES File Explorer and long press on it, I don't get the "add to desktop" option. I have to use the search facility (even though I know where the file is...

Has anyone else been having battery indicator issues since the Jellybean upgrade? Since the upgrade, my indicator is not accurate at all. Today, my phone shut down because it was out of power when the indicator had just shown over 30 percent power left. I noticed because I had just made a...

I know, most of the time the issue is clearing apps out of memory! However, I am trying out AVX by Bulletproof software. For those who don't know, it's a Siri-like virtual assistant that has more functionality than any other va I've tried, other than Siri, and I've tried most. (I like being able...

Well that was three hours of my life wasted that I will never get back. Kies recognizes my phone but doesn't acknowledge an available update. So I called AT&T. First woman I spoke to was very nice. She tried to connect remotely to my phone to no avail. (That's the second time in a month...
