    How to download sms from backup to Moto Z3 Play after factory restore

    I don't think I saw an option to restore, maybe because I was not getting a confirmation code and had to use an alternative method to confirm myself. The only thing that was restored was my contacts. Anyway, the second backup appeared only after I logged in after restore and enabled backup...

    How to download sms from backup to Moto Z3 Play after factory restore

    Hi, I had Google backup enabled on my moto Z3 Play. After I did factory reset , things like SMS and calls history were not restored back to the phone. Instead I now see two phones backed up on my Google one backup tab: the one before reset and the one after. The one before reset lists all...

    An unknown icon that looks like "N" appeared next to wifi on top status bar. Anyone seen this icon or knows what is this? The icon appeared after I installed and then uninstalled a phone cleaner app. I can't rule out during its setup I inadvertently installed something else (there were a lot of...

    Question How to prevent apps from caching files

    Thanks for your input. After a week of experimenting, I settled with ccleaner. It takes less than 100MB and can be set to do every day automatically what I used to do by hand.

    Question How to prevent apps from caching files

    I have MotoZ3. Yes, I can manually keep deleting things, but it's annoying. I hoped the apps would provide an option of not caching the content or auto deleting the cache every time once the app is closed.

    Question How to prevent apps from caching files

    Hi, Is there a way of preventing various apps from storing images/videos in internal memory? Even a few minutes on facebook somehow results in 100-150MB of cache. Same for Chrome and some other apps. In addition, when I check folders "Documents" and "Private" under Google file manager, I see...

    What does reveal my location for third parties?

    If Android officially allows location disable and mcafee officially provides VPN, I call it privacy, not fraud. And backdoor tracking of a location is invasion of privacy.

    What does reveal my location for third parties?

    Hi, I am out of country and trying to deposit a check by using my bank's app (my daughter sent me pics of the check). I activated VPN with US as virtual location, cleared bank's app cache and disabled location permission for the bank's app. Still, the bank's app pops a message that I can do this...

    Call volume very low

    Well, did factory reset and went through all the troubles of resetting passwords. Unfortunately did not help. I do think it must be a bug in the phone app.
