    New Lg G4 SIM swap from S4 not working

    Okay Guys, Maybe I screwed up but I thought I understood this (talked to sprint and a microcenter salesmen). I have had a samsung S4 on a sprint network and just bought a new unlocked international version of LG G4 that appears good for GSM, WCDMA, and LTE neworks. However, when I swap my...

    Confusion about Google Chromecast - Pls Help

    Chromecast requires an ac outlet for power as well. I was confused how it worked too. The cast is its own little computer that runs its own apps. For instance, if you have watchespn app on your phone and use the cast feature, a little watchespn app downloads to the chromecast to pair the phone...

    Samsung S4 overheating and drain battery

    Did you check for apps running up the CPU? I had that happen a few times on my S4mini and I found that there was either an app running (force stop and reboot) or it seemed to happen if an update was occurring. If its an update, I had to let the phone sit on WiFi until the update appeared to...

    Why do I keep getting the error message 'Unable to download, please try again later '?

    Re: 'Unable to download, please try again later '. These messages are just as bad as MS. I have been trying to figure out these cryptic messages for awhile now. If it is in the notification area, its from the app and you can find it. If it is one of those that popups for 2 seconds and then...

    I don't know if I can deal with this...

    Just saw your post. Don't get ahead of yourself. Also, try to think of yourself as the support for your mother, she needs you to be strong. I think Dale Carnegie's book, how to stop worrying is real practical for moments like these. And remember, these things are usually okay, treatments...

    Google Recommends to Uninstall App...

    I am suspect of that message as well. Mostly because Google would want to avoid using the term "spy". In developer options they use the term "harmful behavior".

    Is it possible to delete widget screen?

    I installed the aftermarket S Launcher on google play and that fixed the problem perfectly. That permanent home panel "widget" screen was an epic fail. Samsung should have removed it before shipping the tablet. I couldn't even put widgets on that panel.

    Internet Bubble Tailored Sites

    Thanks for the tips. I have tried disabling cookies which seems to help, but that's tricky, because they can be helpful for keeping settings and logging in on other sites. I have tried changing User Agent strings in the browser but it seems like Chrome/Firefox just ignore those. It seems like...

    Internet Bubble Tailored Sites

    I was wondering if anyone else is frustrated with all the tailored sites on the internet? They are quite annoying. I used to enjoy browsing the web but now it feels like the majority of results returned have been so whitewashed and tailored to my personality that they are uninteresting. I...

    Multiple Devices, one account question

    I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I know on my laptop in the play store when installing apps, I can see both devices if I click the "this app is compatible with your devices" text, but can't seem to select which device to install. The only way I know to install for 1 device to is to use...

    Reading Data Serially from an Arduino through microUSB

    I have never done this with Android OS, just the Arduino IDE for windows 7. However, I know someone compiled the Arduino IDE for Android and it is available on the play store. I would download it from there (just search in apps for arduino). I suspect it has some example code and tutorials to...

    What Is The Best Lightweight Browser For Android?

    Just started using cm browser after trying Firefox. Cm seems really well laid out and is much better than any of the other browsers I've tried. All I do really is read Yahoo and click bait articles.
