    Galaxy S7 calendar reminders work irregularly

    Yesterday my reminders were working; today they're not. I'm using aCalendar and Calendar Event Reminder. I think I've I've exempted every calendar from power management, but the options I see on my phone are different from those shown in all older posts. I just entered a test appointment on my...

    Can I schedule reminders to repeat until dismissed?

    I'm a long-time user of ReminderFox, which is an extension to Firefox. Unfortunately Firefox is scheduled to make some changes later this year that will prevent ReminderFox from working and its authors are not going to recode. The feature I would like to have is to set a reminder that starts X...

    All calendar entries disappearing

    I'm syncing my Outlook calendar to a Samsung Galaxy S7 using MyPhoneExplorer. The sync works successfully, but after a few minutes all entries disappear from the phone. After this happened twice, I opened the calendar on the phone every few minutes. After about 10 minutes, all the entries in the...

    How to delete a bad address

    It doesn't show up on the screen shot because I obscured the personal information, but the email addresses are greyed out, as are the other descriptors on the right (home, other, mobile) and they are not editable. I don't save contacts to Google, nor do I use gmail. I avoid the cloud as much as...

    How to delete a bad address

    When I taped "edit," the option to delete did not appear. The word "home" appeared after both good and bad addresses. I tried clicking on "home," but that didn't do any good. I'm beginning to think that I should copy down the contact information, delete the contact, and make a new entry. Your...

    How to delete a bad address

    One of my contacts on my S7 has two home email addresses. One is correct. I can't delete the bad address. There's no delete function when I try to edit. A long press gives options to copy to clipboard or set as default.

    Blue Mail...

    I'm trying put Blue Mail and have to say that so far I'm underwhelmed. I use Eudora with POP as my desktop client and Comcast as the server. I want an app for my Android phone & tablet. I set up Blue Mail using IMAP and found the Done option to hide mails I was not interested on the phone...

    S7 Ede: SD Card Unexpectedly removed = Phone doesn't see the card

    I seem to have had a similar problem. My phone was running hot and discharged the battery a few days ago. Now the SD card is not detected. I tried reseating the card and cleaning the contacts, but that's all. I don't have a microSD adapter, which I would need to insert it in my laptop to test it...

    Editing in SimpleNotepad (MightyFrog)

    Coming up to speed on my Samsung TAB S 10.5, I selected Simple Notepad by Mighty Frog. Among other reasons, I don't want to use cloud storage unless absolutely necessary. ES File Explorer let's me transfer files between the tablet and the desktop, which is perfectly adequate. I've found that I...

    Where are downloaded PDF files?

    The path was slightly different, but close enough that I found it. Thanks.

    Where are downloaded PDF files?

    Not there. But I did find some other files under Adobe Reader that I wondered about. I suppose I should not worry about those few files. Maybe they expired.

    I asked Google a question and let the browser show several web sites. I clicked on one which had a PDF and got it downloaded. The download showed up in the status bar and i dragged down to see the notification. I tapped on the notification and the PDF opened in Moon+ (which I have found to be...

    How can I print from Moon+?

    How can I print from Moon+ I discovered that I can open files on my desktop Windows 7 computer using ES File Explorer and that Moon+ Reader is the best app I have for rendering PDF files most readable. Is it possible to print a file that I'm reading on the Konica Minolta Magicolor laser...
