    Can I keep screen on somehow with flip clear cover closed?

    In some instances it'd be useful to have info display though the clear cover with it closed but the phone won't let it happen. Is there any way to override it, maybe using Tasker or something?

    Note4 crashing/rebooting seems widespread

    Same here, a few days ago it wouldn't go five minutes without crashing but I've just had two days clear. I installed a wake lock app, used standard launcher, uninstalled a bunch of apps I don't use much, and not risked turning it off. I don't know why it's now stable, though still laggy at times...

    Note 4 issues the last 4 days.

    Having the same problem with same build number MMB29M Phone keeps freezing for a while, even in middle of taking a photo, and sometimes just with black screen and only way to restart is to remove battery. I've had this phone (UK unlocked) about 3 years with little trouble until an update about...

    Does Pixel XL have a hall sensor for smart case?

    One feature I'd hate to be without is my phone turning on when I open the flip case and off when I flip it shut. Does the Pixel have this feature? I've searched for 'smart' cases but haven't found any.

    How to get an app removed by Google Play

    Write to the registered developer or get a lawyer to do it suitably worded? You could just offer that if they take it down in a short set time you'll consider the matter closed and take no further action but if they don't they'll be liable for damages for all the time it's been up. The dev home...

    How do I stop popup ads in MIUI based XIAOMI Redmi note 3 Pro?

    Settings, notifications, manage notifications, hide notifications. You can switch off most junk there. Not all though. It still says something about registering sim card every time it starts up and I still haven't found how to force it to always use Chrome.

    Locked out of phone by fingerprint fail

    I thought I'd try out the newly available Android Pay so I first set a pin to lock the phone and then set the fingerprint lock (after deleting one of the 3 slots and entering a new print just to be safe.) I thought I'd done enough to be safe but after a couple of times of getting in and out...

    Recent update killing my battery

    There was an update last week supposed to improve battery life. My Note 4 would last a day and a half before the update, but now it won't get through a day. Thanks Samsung.

    Recorded video no sounds

    In case it's useful, I had a problem several times where I could be heard on the phone but not on hangouts. The phone has three mics so I guess they're used differently somehow. Both times a reboot fixed it.

    Best podcast app for Chromecast Audio?

    I used Beyondpod a lot but never liked it since the update, I find it very unintuitive. I tried Pocket Casts after reading many good reviews but thought it was too lacking in features. Recently I've been using Podcast Addict and quite like it. It seems nicely laid out with all the settings you...

    Why does my Galaxy Note 4 have a bad battery life?

    Are you using Sidesync? That might cause battery to drain. That was my experience anyway.

    I droped my Samsung galaxy note 4 in water!!

    You can Google ways to dry it out but I heard rice is good as it will absorb the moisture.

    my shield is on full Android OS and I am loving it..

    I have a putio account and fast internet so Chromecast is something I use a lot. Why download something if you can just stream it? But I'm working out how to use it as a media server using RSS feeds from putio too. Having the storage I might as well use it. Having a full Android OS on it would...
