    Try to view an mp4 file and android 'open with' shows Fax, Print and Solitaire apps huh???

    How did Android choose those apps to view video? Those particular apps aren't set to anything i.e. 'none set as default'. So I go to settings, apps.....default apps, 'set as default'. I go to my video player and I see 'none set as default'. How do I set the darn app as my default mp4 player? I...

    Trying to find an app locker that doesn't require password each time I move from one app to another

    Found it. Avast app locker has a setting that allows you to require a password only when the screen is initially turned on - problem solved!

    App shortcut on lock screen, how do I get around entering a passcode/swipe to get into it?

    Thanks, but what is the name of the app so I can go look for it? The link you provided (depending on the browser) takes me to the buy S8 page or I get a 404 error. Thanks!

    App shortcut on lock screen, how do I get around entering a passcode/swipe to get into it?

    App shortcut on lock screen, how do I get around entering a passcode/swipe to open it?? You can enable two icons at the bottom of your lock screen. In my case, I have an ICE icon (In case of Emergency) and the Camera Icon on my lock screen. I want (and others) to be able to open these...

    App shortcut on lock screen, how do I get around entering a passcode/swipe to get into it?

    chanchan05, What app are you referring to? I have way too much info to simply put on the lock screen. the purpose of those icons was supposed to be a quick launch (nothing quick about it). For example I have an 'ICE' document icon and my camera icons on the lock screen. I don't want to have to...

    App shortcut on lock screen, how do I get around entering a passcode/swipe to get into it?

    Yes, it's showing on the lock screen but I can't get into it (by pressing the icon). I have to put in my passcode first. Kind of useless. That's why I'm asking if there is a workaround. I want to press the icon on the lock screen and have it open immediately, without me having to swipe or enter...

    App shortcut on lock screen, how do I get around entering a passcode/swipe to get into it?

    You can put app shortcuts on the lock screen. I don't see the point if you have to swipe/enter passcode-fingerprint to use it. I have an emergency information shortcut on the 'lock screen' I want people to see without knowing my passcode etc. How can I do this? Thanks These type of things...

    Trying to find an app locker that doesn't require password each time I move from one app to another

    I was using Avast App Locker. Once I had mail running, and jumped onto Chrome via a link I could go back into Mail without it requiring the password again. Now, even if I have 4 apps running, if I jump from one to another it requires a password each time I go back to that app. Then in mail if I...

    I tried to go to Application Managaer but no voicemail option shows up. I've tried the other possibilities.Now Verizon has told me to get enhanced Voicemail - that's not going to fix it. How do I get beeping notifications on Android that I have VMs? The only one I can get to happen is text...
