    Help Full android image

    I have two identical 10" Samsung Galaxy tablets. Long story why, but I want to basically clone the entire contents of the one to the other. Is there an app, procedure or other relatively easy way to do this?

    trying to delete pictures and videos

    I have an 8GB Android tablet (4.0.4 ICS) that is running out of room to install apps. I go into settings and storage and it gives a breakdown of all the items installed (apps, pictures/videos, Downloads, Misc.) I want to free up some space & it is saying there is 518MB of pictures/videos...

    is there an Android TV device that can output the Xfinity play app?

    I have seen several of these Android based boxes that hook up to your TV and basically allow you to have a android based OS on your screen (like on a phone or tablet). I even had one a few months ago (Midnight MX2), but didn't care for its controls & other features so returned it. Are there...

    Help is this a sign?

    I have a 32GB Nexus 7 I got in January 2013. I have already had to have it factory serviced once (RAM memory apparently failed) back in October 2013. Recently, I have noticed that even though I have left it on, it is somehow turning off by itself. It happens randomly, but has occurred about 3...

    AllCast + streaming services?

    I see the recent announcement of AllCast supporting full mirroring with the Chromecast. However, will the AllCast app for android allow me to stream/mirror video on my android phone simply coming from either the HBOGO, SHowtime Anytime or Xfinity Play apps directly to my DNLA TV as well? Or...

    Some apps getting killed

    I have a Verizon Samsung galaxy S3 that works great for the most part except this one issue. Basically, some apps are getting killed when I hit the S3 home button. Specifically the SiriusXm and Stitcher apps I use. However, this doesn't happen with some other apps I use frequently; spotify and...

    I recently got a Samsung Galaxy S3 (Verizon). The phone has been working great except one issue. When trying to play music from it via a bluetooth connection to my car stereo (JVC), I am getting a constant and unacceptable skipping. It happens randomly and usually last about 1-2 seconds. VERY...

    moving apps so micro-SD without rooting?

    I have a Nabi 2 tablet for my 6yr old. Its running ICS (4.0.4). He loves it and it has been working great. The only problem I am now running into is space for installing additional apps. Its an 8GB tablet so I am now having to take apps off before I install new ones. It has a micro-SD expansion...

    Does "rooting" accomplish this?

    I got my 6yr old son a Nabi 2 tablet last Xmas. He loves it and it has been a good tablet for our needs. He uses it primarily in the kid mode while I am able to use it in "parent" mode as a Android 4.0 (ICS) tablet. All has been good. Lately, I have been thinking of rooting it. I know it can...

    I have an 8GB Android 4.0 (ICS) based kid tablet (Nabi tablet). Got it for Xmas and it has been working great. Basically, it has a "parent mode" that makes it a regular Android tablet where I can then install apps as needed. It then also has the "Nabi" mode that my 6yr old son uses it in. A...

    I have several android devices with varying Android operating systems. Some with 3.x, some with 4.0 (ICS) and a Nexus 7 tablet with 4.2 (Jelly Bean). Our son's Nabi 2 (8GB) tablet has 4.0 ICS installed and everything works good. However, I was looking to try and possibly install apps on the...

    Question about HDMI mirroring

    I have a Verizon Motorola BIONIC smartphone with the HBO GO app on it. It won't allow me to simply connect the phone's mini HDMI output to an HDTV and "mirror" the image as needed. I realize this is probably mostly an HBO GO app thing. Was wondering if rooting takes cares of this & allows...

    questions about rooting a Nabi 2 tablet

    I got my 6yr old son a Nabi 2 tablet for Xmas. So far, he loves it and its been a pretty solid performer for us. It has a "nabi" mode for him and a "parent mode" for me that basically makes it an Android 4.0 tablet. It didn't come with the Google Play store and at first I thought this was going...

    Me and the wife have android phones. There is the same free app on both of them, but hers was set up to NOT automatically update. Mine was set up to automatically update. She has v2.0 of an app (Samsung Charge) while I have v2.2. I would like to go back to v2.0 on my phone (Motorola BIONIC). I...
