    Messaging: Save multiple images to a folder?

    Phone is an LG X Power fully updated (Android 6.0.1). I just got a bunch of messages containing pictures of my dad's burial. Is there any way to save all images in a thread to a folder, or do I have to save them 1 at a time? Thanks.

    How to disable emergency notifications in Nougat?

    Phone is an LG X Power. I've been through all the settings screens, including sound, and can't find that page anywhere. Please don't tell me LG has decided to disable my disabling of crap I don't want.

    What is my phone syncing to?

    Sorry if this is a repost, I asked yesterday but can't find the thread today. 3-4 days ago I got an unknown icon in the status bar. Yesterday I googled it and found out the phone was syncing. Syncing to what? It's set to sync with a PC when the USB cable is plugged it. AFAIK it won't use...

    Best Cloud-Based Grocery List?

    I use Vim and Evernote. On my laptop I use Vim to keep a file menu.txt that tracks what is in the freezer, what I plan to cook next week, and stuff I need. I arrange that list according to the order I'll find things in the grocery store, then cut/paste it to Evernote. After anywhere from a...

    What's the difference between background and wallpaper?

    Thanks. Image 2 Wallpaper is doing the same thing. My ABCD wallpaper shows CD on the left, and black on the right. Going through the options, looks like I can crop the image but not much more. sigh

    Evernote replacement?

    I've got as much internal free space as I'll ever have unless I root my phone and delete some shovelware. I spent hours last night verifying no app is installed internally. I've got about 16 gig left on my SDcard. One Note looks good, I'll install it when I get home.

    App to replace the power button?

    From what I can tell the power button does 4 things. 1) turn the phone on. 2) turn the phone off. 3) take a screenshot 4) power cycle the phone. The only thing that doesn't work is turning off the phone. If I have to I can plug the charger in to turn the phone on, but admittedly if it...

    App to replace the power button?

    A couple days ago my power button quit turning off my phone. It works because it both takes screen shots and eventually powers off the phone. At the same time my volume down button quit working. Is there a app that will let me turn my phone off? Phone is an HTC V One if it matters. IMHO...

    They broke voice recognition while texting

    For 2 years I've said a few words, waited for the droid to process them, said a few more words, waited, etc. About a month ago something happened such that if I pause in my speech, what I say next deletes everything I've said before and starts over. Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. To say this is...

    Developers: database of phones for AVDM?

    I'm trying to develop my first app, figured I'd use my phone (HTV One V). But it's not listed in the Android Virtual Device Manager, nor can I find all the info on the phone, nor is google helping. Not to mention, I'll be wanting to emulate my app on some different phones that I don't own. Is...

    Copy files from laptop to phone via 802.11

    Ahhh, AstroFile. I knew at one point I'd seen the laptop off the phone. But. When I try to copy my music from my laptop to my phone I get "Can't write file" errors. Uh, why can't you write the file? Permission error (doubtful)? Out of space (definitely not)? Read only filesystem (nope)...

    Copy files from laptop to phone via 802.11

    I have a WinXP laptop that can use my router, and an HTC V One that can use my router. But they don't see each other, and I would like to transfer files from the laptop to the phone without that pesky USB cable. Can anyone tell me how to do this?

    Directory based music player?

    Many thanks for the Mortplayer recommendation, it does just what I want. Even better, it solves another problem I had. A couple weeks ago I transferred a bunch of work mp3s from my thumb drive to my phone, and tossed the thumb in the drawer. All those work files showed up in my playlist...
