I'm wondering if there a customizable launcher available for elderly people who aren't exactly fluent in technology. Ideally, I'd like to have something that would allow me to customize what "apps" appear on the phone, like: - Phone - Text Messages - Ringer on/off - Camera - Gallery Ideally...

I'm considering getting a case with a keyboard for my Fire HD 10, however I'm a little worried about the keyboard scratching the screen. Are there any case/keyboard combinations that are better than others in regards to this? I'm thinking I probably won't keep the Fire in the case all the...

Ah! Many thanks. It looks like the bottom (or top? Guess it depends on your perspective) was bent a little bit. I don't know if there's an obstruction or something inside the phone that is causing this or not. Before: I tried to straighten this out some: It fits much better now. Still...

It just doesn't go in all the way ... er... doesn't stay in all the way. If I apply enough pressure it will go flush with the edge - but I have to keep holding it like that. It never seems to click in place. Do you think it's a clip or something on the tray that's not snapping into place?

Just got a Pixel 3 from eBay. Noticed that the sim card tray was slightly open when I got it - but didn't think much of it. Put my sim card in and it won't close up all the way. I have to use tape to keep the sim card tray closed as much as possible (still not flush with the rest of the...

Many thanks!

I somehow hit something and must have activated it. Had my phone for a year or better and now suddenly I've got Goole Assistant popping up all the time. I don't want it. The instructions I find say, hold the home button. OK, I can do that. At the top right tap More Settings... don't have...

Apparently this has some thing to do with the Auto Start Manager in the Mobile Manager on Asus Zenphones. I'm not entirely sure what I did, I did a lot of things, but it seems to be working now. Start Mobile Manager, Go to PowerMaster, and then Auto Start manager. Then I'm not really sure...

Tried all of this, cleared cache, cleared data, uninistalled Google Play updates, I even wiped the cache partition in recovery. I can't download new apps. I can't update current apps. It just sits there with Downloading... I'm at a complete loss.

I'm looking for an email client (IMAP) that will allow for custom notifications based on the sender. The only thing I am aware of is Maildroid. But it doesn't work for my particular use (if you select a really long notification sound - say 60 seconds - there's no way to shut it off. It has to...

Is there any app out there that will tell you what 3G frequency or 4G band your phone is currently connected to? I don't have a 4G phone right now, so I'm really more interested in the 3G aspect.

Have there been any leaked information about the dimensions for the Moto E 3rd gen? I found some specs for the Lenovo Vibe C2 - 143 x 71.4 x 8.55 mm - which if that's true, what's the difference between the Moto E 3rd gen and the Moto G Play 4th gen?

In regards to the recent Stagefright exploits, do KitKat users need to do anything to protect themselves against this? What about future exploits that might come about? Is an anti-virus or security app necessary to provide a layer of security to guard against this? I have a Nexus 4, which is...

To be honest, that's what I'd really prefer to do. I haven't come across any apps, that I use, that require Android 5. Would love to be able to shut off that annoying update notification though. I have worked in IT before. I know the importance of keeping software up to date and secure. I...

I have a Google Play Edition Nexus 4. I am using it on an AT&T MVNO, so I'm not sure if I get carrier updates or if I get updates directly from Google (I assume directly from Google, but I'm not sure). I am still running Android 4.4.4 because I've heard that Android 5 had some issues with the...
