    Replacement accessories

    I've lost the wall charger and charging cable that came with my phone. Where do I get replacements? The Samsung store doesn't list anything they say is compatible with the S10.

    Get my album art back

    Just upgraded my Samsung Galaxy S10 to Android 10 ("Q") the other day, and now I've lost all the album cover art that didn't come with Amazon Music downloads. I used to use Album Art Grabber but it doesn't work on Android 10, and the developer seems to have abandoned it. My music is on the SD...

    Help Can't get into Yahoo Mail

    For almost a week I have not been able to get into my Yahoo Mail account AT ALL, or into either of the subaccounts I have. NB. I have only my Samsung Galaxy S5. I also have an LG tablet but I haven't set it up yet. No full-size computer; I'm writing this message in an Internet café. Here is...

    Can't log into Disqus

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 with Marshmallow. I have no full-size computer. I want to join a discussion on a site that uses Disqus. But I can't log into Disqus, on that site oron any other. I've hit the "Forgot your password?" link many times, on both my browsers. Disqus always says they've sent...

    Media365 stole my ebooks

    Well, not really stole, but blocked access to them so I can no longer read them. A few years ago I downloaded Universal Book Reader for my public-domain and Creative Commons ebooks, and for ebooks from maverick publishers like O'Reilly. Then I bought the full-version key to get rid of the ads...

    Can't free up space on my device, no matter what I do

    Android always tells me that my device is almost full. NOTHING I do frees up more than about 20MB. I've tried clearing the cache. Almost no space is cleared. Sometimes an app moves back from external storage to internal storage, and when that happens I can at least move it to the SD card. But...

    Help Get my photos off my crowded device ONLY

    Another year, another Android device, same problem. Just returned from a trip abroad with scores of new pictures. Not to mention the album and book covers, and the potential-avatar photos that were transferred to my Galaxy S5. These are gunking up my device, and keeping me from updating or...

    Is my device full, or have my apps been moved to the SD card?

    Last fall I got a Samsung Galaxy S5. Recently I used the App Manager to move some biggrr apps to the SD card and free up space on the internal drive. App manager said the apps were moved, and Storage said that space had been freed up. But the Google Play Store gives a different message. I can't...

    Help Can't free up space with Google Photos

    My Samsung Galaxy S4 has become very crowded lately. It's a struggle to download and install updates to my apps, and as for new apps - forget it. I am constantly clearing all the caches I can find, including the system cache. All the apps that can be moved to the SD card are there already. My...

    Help How to back up phone? Stupid question but I must ask it

    Hi everyone, I want to upgrade Android but I know there's a chance I may lose some files. I never learned how to back up my phone and it's about time I did. The only app I've tried using is MyBackup Pro, and my experience has been very disappointing. I've never been able to do a complete...

    Help Battery is hemorrhaging

    For the last two months or so, my phone's battery life drains away rapidly whenever the phone is powered on. Even when it's plugged in, the phone discharges faster than it charges. Putting in a new battery does no good; the problem is the same even with a brand new battery. I can use my phone...

    Bookmarks in the cloud?

    I have more bookmarks than I can count - must be several hundred - and I get the impression that they're too many for my phone to handle. I can't change the order in the stock browser because when I do, some of them disappear. They're a mess. Is there any way to put them in the cloud so you can...

    Help Phone discharges even when charger is plugged in

    Help! Even when my charger is plugged into the wall at home, the battery discharges. It gives me messages like "Battery low" or "Battery critically low" and tells me to plug in the charger--when it is already plugged in! I've tried it in nearly every outlet in my apt. that was not dedicated...

    Help Trying to avoid being redirected

    The New York Times on the Web is shafting its smartphone readers. It gives them no option whatever of viewing full pages. So now I must think of ways to avoid being redirected. I've tried about:debug but the menu it opens up does not include UAstring. So now I'm looking for an alternative...

    No more space, no more memory, bigger SD card doesn't help

    I had a 16GB SD card on my Samsung Exhibit phone until yesterday; both the internal memory and the SD card were almost full, so I coukdn't download a thing. Yesterday I bought a 32GB SD card and copied the entire contents of the old card to the new card. But the internal memory was still nearly...
