Thanks! I actually have that app on my phone but didn't see the intervalometer function. It works pretty well, just wish there was a .5 interval option. Maybe that's available on the paid version. I'm mostly a hobbyist photographer and have always called them time lapses. But have seen more pro...

I am running 8.1 on my Google Pixel XL. I want to take some long exposure night time photos. I'm trying Camera FV-5 and others. But after a little bit of research, it seems like the Google Pixel XL does not support anything longer than .6 second exposures. Is that right? Is there anything that...

Yeah, I got it a few hours ago. First time I checked for updates, it said none available. I immediately checked again and there was Oreo.

I just checked for updates, said my system was up to date, checked again and got the Oreo update download link! Installing now! And I wasn't on the beta program.

I use my home as a Smart Lock trusted place so that I don't have to enter my pin to unlock my phone. I could also add on-body detection. But what if I want to quickly lock my phone? Say in the event of a robbery. Is there a way to do that?

Most of my USB flash drives work with the USB C adapter for my Pixel XL, but I have a 128GB Patriot Rage that doesn't. Could it be the file system, too large a drive, an incompatibility or something else? I'm not really sure what to even try to fix it. Thanks for any feedback.

I used to have instant access to the screen brightness control from my notifications pulldown. But now it's missing. It went missing sometime in the last few days, probably after a restart or some inadvertent action on my part. Is there a way/setting to have the brightness control show? Right...

On the hardware side, I think definitely battery improvement and screen/phone durability/waterproofing are the next big things. After that, flexible, bendable, foldable phones will be a big deal. Another important area will be sensors. More and better. I'd also love to see modular phones -...

Well, you have to have your original files stored somewhere, right? The following app/solution will let you sync files from a PC or network drive or another Android device to all your Android devices. The app is called FolderSync...

I recently bought the 16GB S4 and I have a 32GB SD card installed, so 48GB total. I have a medium sized music library, but not much video and don't plan to install many big games. I hear a lot of people are waiting for the 32GB model because 16GB is not nearly enough for them. Is this simple a...

I'm this close to going with a Nexus 7, but have a couple questions. With my phone, I use GPS apps to track my location on road trips and around town. I also use Maps with GPS. With no data connection on the road, I wouldn't be able to use Maps, but there should be no problem with GPS apps to...

Cool! Looking forward to the reviews for this new device. Especially interested in whether it gets hot like the MK802 is reported to do. Does the HDMI support MHL so that it can be powered off the HDMI port on the TV? Or does it need to be plugged in?

Does anyone know much about the new UG802 Mini PC? Is it actually new? Is it considered an upgrade to the MK802? The only difference I see is that the UG802 is dual core vs the MK802 which is single core.

This doesn't specifically answer your question, but I use an app called FolderSync which does syncing, one-way pulls or one-way backups to any of ALL the cloud services - SkyDrive, Dropbox, Box, Google, FTP, etc. And you can do any type of files you want...

Is there any kind of camera app or other app that will let me automatically store photos in different directories? My scenario is: have a camera icon that opens my usual camera. Taken photos will be stored in the normal directory; have another camera icon that I customize to store photos in a...
