    Digital Photo Frame w/ Specific Features - Exists?

    Exactly what did you base your reply on? "An SMB device can't trigger a rescan". When did I ask for that? My need is "auto re-scan the media location" which implies it is a component of the app. "A picture display app that has built-in SMB? Not that I know of." Interesting, because the app I...

    Digital Photo Frame w/ Specific Features - Exists?

    Hi, all. I'm in search of a digital frame app that I can install that will give me some specific features - I'm hoping that someone here can name one instead of me trying to figure out how to search it out in the Play Store. - Needs to be able to access content via SMB Share on my local...

    Notifications when deleting email from the notification shade?

    No. I get the visual notice like you're describing. And when I tap on "Delete", I get a vibration from the phone. I tried turning on the audible notifications (not just vibrations) for the phone and I still only get a vibration. It's just weird that I get this second vibrating notification from...

    Notifications when deleting email from the notification shade?

    My 2XL has the Pie update, and I get notifications (like new email notifications) when I opt to "Delete" an email from the notification shade. This is definitely not desired behavior for me, and I can't figure out how to turn this off. Is anyone else having this problem? It used to be just one...

    Pitaka 2XL MagCase Review

    My comment about not wrapping around was directly targeted at the fact that it does not rise up beyond the height of the screen - any case will obviously have to wrap around the corners in order to stay on. Zero protection for the screen as a result. I've moved on from the case because A) it...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector That Fits?

    Thanks for the good words, jlp0209 Without being able to lay the glass over the screen "in person" to see how much the blue reduction modifies the image, I'm extremely hesitant even though a lot of really great things are said about this protector.

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector That Fits?

    Thanks for sharing. I'm really looking for glass to provide more than just the basic scratch protection. The Whitestone was a contender for me until A) I realized that is has a blue light filter in the glass (which changes how the screen looks) and B) their Support group never bothered...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector That Fits?

    Except that it is not full adhesion - only around the perimeter. Have read a number of comments about that protector popping off of the device from a drop as a result (others that adhere similarly do the same). Seems they also only sell direct, and I'm in the US. If I need a replacement, I...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector That Fits?

    Zagg gave me a ton of runaround with a protector I tried to get replaced and the new one they sent was complete junk in terms of installation (it looked HORRID). I threw it out and bought something else and never looked back. I've also read that they aren't making a Glass+ for the 2XL which...

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector That Fits?

    Mostly not useful threads over there. Everything is basically the same laundry lists of complaints and gripes and no one has provided any sort of updates after some time in use. Whitestone Dome appears as though it may be "the best of a sorry lot." In other words, ALL of the options for this...

    Pitaka 2XL MagCase Review

    My primary concern about this case is that it does not wrap around the phone and come up above the screen. This means that a drop of the device could allow the screen to come directly in contact with the ground. Even with a screen protector in place, this would seem to be a huge risk to the...

    Does anyone have something related to the ask here that they can share?

    Pixel 2 XL Screen Protector That Fits?

    I've read a bunch of "reviews" about a lot of different screen protectors and here's where I stand: - DeFitch sucks. The glass is the exact same width as the visible part of the display, so it has to be centered absolutely perfectly. The REAL problem is that it does not adhere correctly...

    Llama - Who's Using It and Any Good Examples?

    So, now that the newer towers and services are being used, and Llama seems to no longer have any ability to use the cell tower method for tracking location (rendering large parts of it as not useful), what has everyone done to keep this sort of functionality on their phones?

    Android 8.x - How to add phone shortcut for each number?

    I've never found a way to do this with any version of Android, and I've been away for a couple of years. So, I'm wondering if it has been addressed as of yet... Launch the Phone app and the left-most tab is for your Favorites. With a contact, when multiple phone numbers are available (cell and...
