I have no idea what the "custom option" is.

Does anyone know of an Android contact manager that completely replaces the stupid one that comes with your phone and that lets you assign any name you wish to every device? For example I have a contact with two land lines. I'd like to call one "Upstairs" and the other one "Downstairs". Instead...

Thanks Maniac for this advice. I posted there and got a response overnight. Here is the remedy (for me, at least): https://productforums.google.com/forum/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=footer#!msg/photos/1dlrCXSdTio/oIbkZSceBAAJ

Under Nougat, the texting app has the option to save its data to the SD card. Since Marshmallow (at least) the camera has also had this same option. However when you open the texting app, then do an attachment (using the paper clip) and select "Take Photo", the texting app overrides at least two...

How in the world does one contact Google? Seriously. I have no idea. Thanks.

Here is another image that fails to render under either Gallery or Google Photos on my phone. The bottom 45% or so of this one is black once the image finally renders in hi-def. These apps also fail to display certain movies; the movie plays for awhile and then stops and fails with a message...

I guess I am truly amazed that there isn't more outcry over this bug. The problem apparently isn't just with Nougat's "Gallery" app. It also fails displaying images using "Google Photos" and my guess is that all apps that display images under Nougat are crippled because they might all share the...

I have a LG Phoenix 2, which came with Marshmallow. The Marshmallow battery indicator was nice and linear. Then my phone upgraded to Nougat. Now the little icon shows 100% full even when the battery has discharged by 50%. Then after I get down past 50%, the indicator drops quickly, as if to...

Great idea. An image that Nougat Gallery cannot display properly is attached to this reply.

On my LG Phoenix 2, the Marshmallow Gallery always displayed pictures properly. But ever since the Nougat update, the Gallery fails to render a few of my pictures properly. The thumbnail suggests that the whole image is there, and initially the full photo displays at low resolution while Gallery...

I figured it out myself, or rather my wife provided the answer. The phone is actually my wife's phone. She finally realized and told me that sometimes she takes photos by first going to the texting app, opening a new text message, clicking the paper clip (attachment), and selecting the camera as...

As another example, my daughter has a rather expensive Sony digital camera. Like many digital cameras, its ONLY storage option is an SD card; there is no "internal" memory on which to store images. I have a Garmin GPS on which the installed SD card is an intrinsic part of the file system; if it...

I appreciate your response but it seems at odds with industry usage of SD cards. I intentionally bought a Class 10 card, so that it would be fast enough. Class 10 cards are used in semi-pro digital recorders, where they must function essentially 100% of the time else spoil an entire recording...

I have an LG Phoenix 2 phone running Marshmallow. The camera app is set up to use the SD card, which has plenty of space. The camera puts most pix on the SD card but occasionally puts a few in internal memory. I am not switching the camera app's storage option - it's doing this by itself. I can...
