    Printing from Android

    I try printing from my Android phone recently and notice that I cannot do so. My impression is that this is because Cloud Print has been discontinued. How would I print now. I poked around and noticed that I can print using printer apps. This would cover one of my printer, but I also have a old...

    Pixel 3a XL fingerprint issue

    I recently purchased a Pixel 3a XL and notice that the fingerprint reader kept having problems reading my finger. The problem appear to be intermittent, but I think I figure out the cause. The phone has problems with moisture, so if I take a shower and try to use the fingerprint, it will fail...

    Weird problem with Honor 8

    Yesterday, when I plug into my Honor 8 for charging, I notice that the charging light did not come on. To make things worse, I notice the usb C plug at the phone end was getting hotter and hotter to the point where it started smelling like heated plastic. I unplugged it immediately and the plug...

    Best 3rd Camera app for just Point and Shoot

    Most of the camera thread talk about getting a 3rd party app to get all of the special features. What I am looking for is a camera app with the best auto-mode. It would be nice if it can enable HDR by default and have some way of compensate for back lighting. I am also curious if 3rd party app...

    Constantly gointo into split screen mode

    I have verify that it happens in Touchwiz, which means it is not a Nova. I looked online and they indicate the possible reason as the cause: 1. Interference by screen protector. 2. Hardware problem. 3. OS problem. I did system to the latest firmware and the issue appears to have disappeared. paul

    Battery Life is draining constantly and highest usage is Google Play Service. What do I do?

    Did you just get a new phone and then use some sort of service to transfer the content and configuration to your old phone? I did that a few months ago and notice that google play ran constantly and drained my battery. I eventually fix the issue by factory reset and then redoing it from scratch...

    Using a stylus for for precision work

    Thanks. If I need heavy input, I'll just use my desktop/laptop. While SPEN would be ideal, I actually don't need a pressure sensitivity and even complete accuracy, just enough to select text and write. Anyone know how the active stylus work (not the SPEN version, the one that works on...

    Constantly gointo into split screen mode

    I have verified that the issue occur on application other than chrome. There is no option to turn off multiple window, but there is apparently an app that adds the setting. I am going to go back to touchwiz for a bit to see if it's an issue with Nova Prime. Paul

    Constantly gointo into split screen mode

    That's what I have been trying to determine. Chrome is where I spend most of the time on the tablet. I could install a different browser and see what would happen. I did look through Chrome setting to see if there was some sort of gesture, but nothing. I check through Nova prime settings (it's...

    Using a stylus for for precision work

    I have a Honor 8 phone, but the question is not specific to that phone but to all phones without an active digitizer. For example, if I have a Galaxy S8, I probably have the same questiion. Paul

    Constantly gointo into split screen mode

    On a Galaxy Tab A 10.1, I am browsing on Chrome. I know that if I long press on the recent application button, the tablet will go into split screen mode and allow me to select another app to display on the split screen. One problem is that when I browse, I am constantly getting a prompt to...

    Using a stylus for for precision work

    On my smart phone, I find that I have issue selecting passage of text because my finger is big in relationship to the screen. I also have a desire to do take some notes. Obviously, getting a smartphone with a active stylus digitizer would be best, but I like to know if there is a way to get a...

    How do you use your sPen

    For mother's day, I got my mom a Galaxy Tab A 10.1 to replace her aging Nexus 7. I mostly got it due to the SPen, because she often enter Chinese and the Spen can be use to write the characters. I am currently setting up the tablet. This got me thinking, how have you use the Spen to make...

    Asus Zenpad 3s 10 Control from PC

    I downloaded the user manual from Asus for the production and it appears that there is no pclink software for this product. I am guessing that PCLink is only for the Zenfones. Unfortunately, this disqualifies the product for my purpose. I originally considered this for my mom for use to replace...

    Asus Zenpad 3s 10 Control from PC

    Can someone verify if there is a way for the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 to be controlled by pc-link. The pclink software seems to imply that zenpads are not supported. Paul
