    Forward SMS to Email

    Thanks for this app. I just installed it on my phone, then set up a new gmail account as both the sender and receiver, and notifications for incoming SMS work fine. I do not intend to reply to SMS from the email account. I have other options for that, but this means I can be using any of my...

    Can this shamed Android enthusiast get some help battling a malfunctioning micro-USB port?

    I'll try to get some photos and video of this phone Monday. I'll also check to see if the "tongue" inside the micro-USB port is moving itself. Even if the frame is slightly oversized, it still seems like that part that goes into the little slot on the micro-USB plug would prevent movement...

    Can this shamed Android enthusiast get some help battling a malfunctioning micro-USB port?

    shamed android enthusiast battles malfunctioning micro-USB port I recently advised a friend to get a Nexus 6 instead of an iPhone 6 Plus. I went into the shop with her, and after the phone had been set up, I plugged in my SlimPORT and USB OTG adapters to see if they worked, but immediately I...

    What are the mobile apps you use for messaging and calls?

    I'm using LINE and Viber. I like how easy both make it to send location links, voice or video snippets, photos, or drawings in the case of Viber.* I do have one question on them both: Will either of them suggest contacts in my address book to other contacts? Will they try to introduce my...

    Sign-in error for Google account that doesn't exist

    I'm having a similar problem, though it is all with my accounts and a couple of old phones. I've tried to remove one google account (it was a second account, there for gmail and contacts, I guess), but two of my old phones, both on android 4.1.2, keep popping up the same "sign-in error" message...

    Stop Screen Coming on from Texts??!

    I have my S5 set to fingerprint unlock, so what I'm thinking might be happening with me is that I slide my phone into my thigh pocket, screen inward, button at the top of the pocket, then when I snap the button to close the pocket, this presses the phone's home button against my thigh. Then the...

    Stop Screen Coming on from Texts??!

    I'm having the same problem, though I don't think it is because of texts for me. I get very few of them, and my S5 is turning on multiple times per day in my pocket (thigh pocket of cargo pants). I thought it was because of other apps (Kaiten mail, viber, etc.), but Redwood Carlos might be...

    Tasker - Let's Contribute Profiles

    Could someone at least help me to know if Tasker can do something? I don't need anyone to make a full profile, but I am new to Tasker and unsure if this will even work. I want to turn on the photo sync features of both Google Photos and Dropbox when I am connected to my home router and on AC...

    N7 photospheres from monopod, raised high, how to trigger?

    Hi, I'm about to go to an old fort, and I want to make photospheres of the area just above the walls. I have a tripod mount (a flimsy one, but I'll make it work safely): Free shipping Dedicated Table Desk Bed Clamp Mount Holder Stand Tripod for Google Nexus 7 2 2nd Generation-in Tablet PC...

    Active stylus?

    If a tablet doesn't have a digitizer made for an active stylus, then they won't work. You'll need a capacitive stylus (one of the usually stubby crayon-type styli that mimics the human finger.) My S Pen (wacom technology on Samsung) does not work on my ThinkPad Tablet (TPT) nor my Nexus 7 2012...

    Galaxy Note Cases

    They are ugly only if you are looking for a slim case that mirrors the Note's design. If you're looking to make your note durable and don't mind adding bulk, then the cases are pretty nice, imo.

    Android Market apps missing - "The requested item could not be found"

    no market feedback/evals, though This method does not allow for evaluations of the applications, though. One of my apps, namazu, just gave me a 30-second warning of last night's earthquake, telling the distance and magnitude. When it hit here, I knew how bad it would become and could relax and...

    Android Market apps missing - "The requested item could not be found"

    long press -- update -- works! I've been having the same problem for a few weeks (aldiko was the first or second app for this to happen to with me). It does seem to be random as to which apps are not found. After a reboot, google maps was found whereas before it wasn't, for example. I have...
