I just discovered I have the same problem with my new ASUS ZenPad running Nougat and my almost four-year-old Kensington bluetooth keyboard. I found two apps that fix this. 1. External Keyboard-Helper. I just tried the demo version. The paid version is $1.99, 2. External Keyboard which is...

I have several streaming music apps that keep interfering with my car navigation on Bluetooth. I have to go through three or four screens into Settings to force-stop them. Is there a way to shut them down with just a click or two? Task killers don't do it. Thanks.

I figured it out. The instructions I was receiving were for use within my third-party file manager app.

I have looked everywhere for this. Some responses show screenshots. These are all from older Android versions. I have been unable to duplicate these screens or anything similar on my Galaxy S7 with Nougat. Thanks.

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks If I'm understanding this right there would be no time savings on the initial set up. If you have to download apps one at a time the only time savings would be after you back up and then reinstall from Nova Prime. I've never had to do a factory reset...

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks I don't know how you download separately from install. When you go to the Play Store you click on install it downloads and then automatically installs. What I'm I missing?

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks I don't understand your process. What do you mean "download all apps"? All I am familiar with is installing them one at a time from Play Store. I read your description as of some sort of a batch process. Also I looked at Nova Prime and don't...

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks Thanks for the tip. I will keep this for future reference. Hopefully the distant future.

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks Thank you.

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks I have no desire to spend hours reinstalling apps unless it is a last resort. At least I got my phone functioning to the point of getting screen shots of my apps folder if I do need to reset. So far all is good though. Out of curiosity, does a...

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks ...

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks Now another revolting development. I started getting the dreaded "System UI has closed" error to the point it pretty much had my phone locked up. Clearing the System cache made it less frequent but it still popped up periodically. I tried several...

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks Ok, thanks for that. For most things I don't want two accounts. I probably won't use it for much. But here's the first thing I tried. I put my Google Drive in there. I don't want people to have access to that. However since I can do a search in...

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks Also with one of the apps, when you add to the Secure Folder and try to open it asks you to create a new account.

Re: Verizon Nougat Help, Tips & Tricks So far I'm not impressed. I added two different apps into the Secure Folder. They ain't secure. If you do a search in apps they show up and if you tap on them you can see everything. If you tap them on the Home Screen however it takes you to the Secure...
