I canceled my pre-order today. B&H doesn't even know when they are getting the phones from Asus, so I told them to cancel my order. Screw Asus, I'll find something else. Why it's taking so long to ship a phone announced in May is beyond me. It's idiotic, really.

I like the look of the V40. I checked out the v50, but it's a lot more expensive and is missing some of the features I like in the v40 (like FM radio). And the more manual controls I can have with the camera the better. The problem is that the v40 was never released in Canada. If I were to...

That did not seem to help.

I know that would end up being an issue for me. I still load up local music to listen to like it's 2014. And TV shows.

I'll give this a whirl on my e5 Play and see if that helps. I plan on changing phones soon, but in the meantime this will hopefully help.

I'm looking to change phones from the Moto e5 Play that I got for free with my plan last year to something better. I have wanted a Zenfone since the Zenfone 4 came out but was never willing to spend that much. I have had my eye on the Zenfone 6 and the price in the US is attractive, as are its...

Okay, thanks. How do you stop apps from running in the background on Android?

I'm not as concerned with battery usage but more the CPU usage and what battery Saver did to make the phone faster, and how to do that manually so that the phone is always fast.

I've noticed that lately my Moto G5 Play has been super sluggish. Annoyingly so. The other night I had to turn on Battery Saver, and suddenly it was super responsive and speedy again. What I want to know is what did battery save do exactly, and how can I replicate it so I can have a speedy...

Coming from Windows 10 Mobile, I liked Groove Music. I didn't love it, and I only used it for local music, but it had a feature that I loved that I have not been able to find in another music app on Android. I don't know what it's called, but I refer to it as the alphabet jump. Instead of...

Yuck. So basically I'll need to use a file explorer app in order to view them the way I want. The reason I put pictures in sub-folders is so they don't appear with everything else. :)

I have a folder on my SD Card called "Pictures", with sub-folders inside. I only want "Pictures" to show up on the main screen, where if I tap that box, I go to into that selection and that screen showing the sub-folders. Pretty much the way a File Explorer app works Are there any photo apps...

Next question: Is there a way for any of these apps to not show every single folder on the main screen? I have a folder on my SD Card called "Pictures", with sub-folders inside. I only want "Pictures" to show up on the main screen, where if I tap that box, I go to another screen showing the...

Thanks for that suggestion. The simple fact that it lets me manage the folders that are included means it wins. Doing a bit of digging, all those weirdo folders are remnants of using the SD card in my Windows Phone. I did not delete all the Windows Phone folders on the SD card yet in case I...

So Focus and Focus Go did no better. None of the apps I tried did. They all had the same inherit problem. They show the camera folder from the phone, the Wallpapers folder from my SD Card (which is in root/Pictures), and the profiles folder I created this evening (also in Pictures on the SD...
