    Can't Use Keyboard on Chat Apps

    When using chat apps like Azar or Holla, you have the option to click a chat button and type text to someone instead of talking. This usually will pop up an onscreen keyboard, like it would on your phone. In both BlueStacks and NoxPlayer, the keyboard either does not load, or perhaps loads off...

    Contacts Won't Sync in Google Backup

    Yup, I tried this again yesterday and let it sync for a day. All the others work, it's still stuck on "waiting." I guess it could just be a glitch in her phone or something. Super frustrated, and I'm willing to try anything else. But not sure what else can be done.

    Contacts Won't Sync in Google Backup

    Thanks for the reply, but nothing seems to work. Tried removing all the old contacts and re-syncing them, updating the security patches, more toggling and nothing. It simply won't sync them for some odd reason. And I've verified the one phone is a mirror image of the other regarding settings...

    Contacts Won't Sync in Google Backup

    I'm using Google Backup on our LGV30 phones to sync all of our data in case of phone loss or failure in the future. So far, all the syncs are working great on three different phones expect my wife's. For some reason, her contacts refuse to sync, and just sit in the "Waiting to backup" phase...

    Help Backing Up Samsung Note (the easy way)

    Thanks for the info! But can I be honest? I read through the link and it made me realize something...I don't think I wanna juggle that many backup programs. So how about I reverse course and go the other route (which I said I didn't want to do earlier and changed my mind). Is there a good dock...

    Help Backing Up Samsung Note (the easy way)

    So I've been in the habit of backing up my Samsung Note about every six months, simply by connecting it to my desktop and just dragging and dropping all the folders. I've know this is better than nothing, but far from ideal (especially if something important gets lost between manual backups). I...

    All Hell Has Broken Loose!

    So anything else I can try at this point? Or am I screwed?

    All Hell Has Broken Loose!

    I tried flashing it using Odin3. It says it's connected once I put it into download mode but after I hit start it fails and says it can't open the serial (COM) port. Is that a bad sign? Is it FUBAR at this point? If anyone's interested, the exact failure it gets when I book into Android...

    All Hell Has Broken Loose!

    My Wife's Note 2 started acting erratically over the last couple days. Last week she lots two thirds of her pictures from the last year (they just vanished off her phone). Then her desktop reverted back to a wallpaper she had applied a few weeks back but since changed (strangely enough from some...

    Do I Really Need An Anti-Virus?

    Thanks. I plan to look into downloading one here soon. However, I'm not really sure what features I should look for in a good anti-virus for smartphone. What makes one better than the other as far as features. I'd like something safe but with a VERY low profile.

    Do I Really Need An Anti-Virus?

    I just recently got a Samsung Note 2. On my PC and Laptop, I keep things pretty locked down with security and anti-virus. However, now I'm reading that it is very important to also run an anti-virus app for security, as the Note 2 is more like a tablet with its Android OS than it is a regular...
