I got it on eBay. "No name" Chinese import. (Price is now more than twice what I paid.)

There are quite a few "IR Blaster" apps for Android. One, "irplus WAVE" includes a "3.5mm Audio" button that takes you to a website instructing you on how to build your own. Yet for some reason, it doesn't detect the one I bought. It is possible the adapter I got is bad, but unlikely.

I suggest you re-read my original post.

Thanks. I'm registered but forgot to login before posting. I don't understand what good it would do to sell IR Adapters that plug into the audio jack if the only phones that can use them already have IR support built-in? There must be something I'm missing to make the adapter work.

Also as noted above, there is only 1 widget on the home page and 3 (out of 4) on the quick bar. Plenty of room.

As noted above, the way I attempted to add "widgets" was to press/hold an empty area on the "desktop". This gives me a list of apps. But when I try to drag an app/widget to the desktop or quick bar, nothing is added.

Unfortunately, I don't have access to her phone and I typically don't get by more than once a week, but just picture a home screen with one icon in the main area ("Google Maps") and just three in the Quick Bar ("Contacts", "Messenger" & something else). No "Phone" icon (important) or the ability...

Her phone is a Motorola Moto e5 Cruise. When I swiped up from the bottom, there were no running apps or icons. The only way to get to "Settings" was to swipe down from the top (no icon anywhere else nor could I add it to the "desktop".) TIA

Thanks. I got a chance to work on her phone today. Turns out, she has deleted her home screen items (time, temp, Google search) so I didn't recognize it. But in the process, she somehow managed to delete (or hide?) just about every icon, and I can't seem to find a way to put them back (no "all...

Thanks. That sounds like what's going on. Next time I see her, I'll check it out. If it doesn't work, I'll let you know.

Which ever one is the "box" that cascades all open apps. I've closed every app with an "X" but the browser is not among them. I suspect she "pinned" it somehow. :( PS: I've also tried the "Circle" (Home?) which brings up "page 2" of the "desktop".

The system says I'm logged in and even shows my username. I don't know why it added my post as "Guest". :eek:

My step-mothers phone is doing something weird. Firefox is open on her phone and I can't close it. If I tap the icon on the bottom of the screen to show the "desktop", if I try to swipe right to the home screen (where the time & temp are supposed to be), instead it reopens the browser with no...

Not an OS bug. Battery issue? I know this is an old thread, but my G3 just started doing this for no reason. My OS is upgraded as far as it can go (to Marshmallow 6.0) and I did not recently install any new apps. The phone has worked reliably for more than a year (when I bought it used.) I've...

Thanks for the reply. Which version of Android is on the Pixel 2? Do you find Oreo more like 6.0 or 7.0? I'm seriously annoyed that 7.0 is so much less user-friendly than 6.0.
