(I meant Near Field Communication.)

Hello, everyone. This morning, I purchased a pay as you go Verizon-compatible Moto G Play phone. The main reason I got it was for NFC support. (Near Field Compatibility.) The salesman at Best Buy assured me this phone does support NFC. After charging it and activating it, I went to the...

Hello, everyone. I have a Moto E that is probably about two years old. It is running Android 5.1. I configured the phone to require a PIN whenever I want to use it. I did that because the phone was "butt dialing' too many people. The problem is, sometimes the phone would turn on in my...

A follow-up comment, to elaborate on the original post: I installed ES File Explorer directly via Google Play on the tablet. Now, here's what's going on: The Downloads folder displays properly with ES File Explorer. So, I deleted the .apk file for that app. It displays the .MP4 files...

Hi everyone. I have a 16 GB Google Nexus 7 with Android 4.3. (Last year?s model, not the newest one.) The Nexus 7 is hooked up to my desktop computer via a USB cable, but I also have a wireless router. I?ve downloaded a few things to the Downloads folder. One of the things I downloaded...

Sure enough...a few minutes after I posted this question, I solved the problem. Here's what I did: I simply hooked up the Nexus to my computer via a USB cable. I went into Settings/WiFi, set it to ON (it was set to off...who knew?), tapped it, and I saw two listings there. One was for my...

Hello, everyone. I need a little bit of help getting my Google Nexus 7 connected to my wireless network. Last week, I switched from Comcast to Verizon FIOS. Prior to FIOS, I had my own wireless router. (Netgear.) I had no trouble getting a wireless signal to the Nexus 7. After getting FIOS...

It's not a big deal--not the end of the world. I can live with the icons as they are. A follow-up question, though: Can I arrange the icons on my home screen so they are in alphabetical order? I mean, without having to move them all around by myself. Thanks again. Jd

It can't be done without a third-party utility?

I have a 16 GB Google Nexus 7. I've downloaded a few apps here and there, including the Amazon Kindle app. I'd like to rename a few of the icons for these apps. I haven't figured out how to do this yet, or if it is even possible. Is there a way to rename the app icons? I'd like to rename...

I can't imagine a wireless connection that would equal a wired one, especially when I have a high-end connection plan with Comcast. I cannot justify having a Comcast internet connection for roughly 75 bucks a month AND spend 100 bucks or more for a smart phone. I just don't need a smart phone...

Hi everyone. I'm not really sure where to ask this question, so I hope you don't mind if I post it here. It has to do with smart phones. I'll try to keep this brief, but please permit me to include enough detail to get an informed response. I am shopping for both a smart phone and a...

Thank you for replying again. We're making progress. I've tried SwiftKey, and I like it, but unless I am mistaken (please let me know if I am), it doesn't let you "glide" along the keys, like Swype and Slide-It. I've grown to enjoy using that technique quite a bit. The beta of Swype was...

Problem definitely not solved. I installed Kingsoft and tried it before installing ThinkFree. I almost immediately uninstalled it. Why? It is incompatible with Swype. When I use Kingsoft with Swype, there are no spaces between the words. Let's please remain focused on ThinkFree. Thank you.

Hello, I'm running a Google Nexus 7. My question has to do with an app called ThinkFree Office Suite. If anyone is familiar with this app, perhaps you would be willing to assist me, please. I've downloaded and installed ThinkFree Office Suite, and am working with the word processor part...
