Are its Permissions enabled for camera and storage? (Think mine waited till I chose to enable them - seems more polite about that than some apps). The permissions in my Moto are in Settings - Apps - Whatsapp.

It worked. I looked out my notes first from the original, complicated Hammermill download, but I didn't need them - the process was very quick and easy. I wasn't asked for any money (not that I would have objected). I'd kept the Amazon Appstore app I got when getting Hammermill originally, so...

Neither did my Motorola. The only make offered in my network*'s online shop that resisted the pressure to preload inessential apps (and to kill the 3G switch as a way of promoting the 4G I can't get). *Three Ireland

I often get that or similar gllitches on FB, e.g. nothing appearing when I type. (It's as the website design's not the best, but maybe it's just heavy traffic, or patches of slow connection along the way, or an auto update in the background). I find that leaving plenty of time between each...

Thank you for your thoughts, B. When I got Hammermill Print in December 2017, Play Store showed it to me but said it wasn't available in my region, so I searched the problem. The final step in the method I used was getting it from Appstore, which I’d only seen mentioned re iPhones (I blame...

Amazon Appstore's been reminding me for a while that the latest update's available for my free version of Hammermill Print phone app, but I've only just had the time to check that the only update offered, called Hammer Print, is the genuine update (it's my suspicious mind!). I found a reputable...

I assume you installed the app from Play Store - have you tried uninstalling it from there? I uninstall by going to Play Store > My Apps & Games > Installed. When I've found the app in question, I tap the Open button (not a very helpful label!). It takes me to the app's Play Store page, with...

Could it be something to do with one or both of you roaming onto another network?

Thanks acejavelin - that's answered my question. I haven't rooted the phone yet, and it's not a good time to risk it in my case. I thought the padlock thing might just delay a casual thief for a brief but crucial time, but I do realise a PIN is much better. My particular setup and...

I managed to cut down the notifications a bit (can't remember how - I was going all over the place!). But they're still coming. They've been from at least 3 different forums in the last 3 days, and I don't have the time to go to each one's forum to find out which forum it is. Whenever I have...

Moto G 2915 3rd gen, Android 6.0.1. Phone security isn't much of an issue in my circumstances, and for speed I simply unlock with am upward swipe. When I turn on/wake the phone, there's always a padlock icon at the bottom. When touched, it tells me to swipe up to unlock. As I already know...

You’re right in deducing that adapted storage is for apps, portable is for photos/other data. Not many apps (if any) will go on portable. With adopted storage, the phone treats the card as an extension of its own memory. And everything is encrypted, so that the particular phone it was...

My heart sank when I read this, as my main reason for installing Nova Launcher was to stop the Google search banner plastering itself over my carefully composed home screen photo (as if I couldn't search with one touch of the Chrome icon). But seems it was a false alarm - looks like a new...

I asked a few questions in the Android Central Forums about a year ago (using my phone), and to start with it only generated the occasional notification (and only in my email inbox). But recently the notifications have been also to my phone, and getting more and more frequent and less and less...

Same here! I'm on Prepay, (contract would be a wasted expense), use wifi at home (and have to be careful about data roaming). Signal here isn't strong enough for any data. Can't send an MMS, and receiving one is a nuisance - there's no way I can retrieve whatever they've tried to send, (or...
