    Help Apps keep stopping

    The last couple of days, several of my apps are randomly dying. I get a pop up message like, "Mail has stopped". I kill it and a few minutes later, the pop up appears again. And it's not just Mail. Other apps as well. Also, some of my apps no longer function correctly. For example, the...

    Why don't some apps update automatically?

    I've wondered this for a while. I have auto update turned on for my apps. And although many apps do update automatically, I often get a notification that I have updates available. When I select it, it takes me to Google Play, where I have to select "Update All" to get the updates to start. I...

    Is there a quick way to turn off the ringer?

    I've found that I can shut off the ringer by turning the volume all the way down. And of course, you can do it by pulling down the settings. But is there an even quicker/easier way to do it? (I know, I'm lazy). Thanks.

    How to change the volume in Skype video call

    When on a Skype video call, I can't seem to change the audio volume. The volume rocker switches don't seem to have any effect. And clicking on the little down arrow when the volume slider is open, to reveal the other volume sliders such as Media and System, doesn't help either. I've tried...

    Help How to disable periodic sync of email

    I have a couple of POP3 mail accounts set up on my phone. I don't use email on my phone that often, so I would prefer that it doesn't automatically get new email messages. But I can't seem to figure out how to achieve that. In the mail account's settings, I have the "Sync schedule" set to...

    Help Schedule airplane mode?

    I just upgraded from a Droid RAZR HD Maxx to an S7. One question I have: on the Droid, I could set a "Sleep" SmartAction, which would turn airplane mode on and off at certain times. I had it set to turn on at 11 PM and off again at 7 AM. Is there anything similar on the S7? I found that you...

    Recently, my phone has been responding very slowly. Visible delay switching apps, etc. Is there any way to tell what might be causing that? I seem to remember somewhere in the settings that showed all the running apps and what percent of the CPU each was using. But I can't seem to locate...

    I switch out my Verizon SIM for a local one when in Europe. With the Verizon SIM, I have no problems. But with the European one in, the phone randomly resets. Happens every other day or so. Anyone have any idea what the problem might be? I figured it was the physical SIM. But I'm not so...

    Help Can I put a MAXX HD battery into HD

    I have a RAZR HD. I think the battery is shot because it won't even go a whole day on a charge with light to moderate usage. I was wondering if it's possible to get a MAXX HD battery and put that in. My understanding is that the only differences between the RAZR HD and RAZR MAXX HD are the...

    Questions about FDR

    I've been using Kit Kat for a couple of weeks and it seems to be working well. I do have a couple of minor problems once in a while though -- like Skype crashing. So I figured I'd try the Factory Reset. But I'm hesitant because it took me a while to get everything all set up the way I like...

    How to un-set default for calling phone number

    A while ago, when I tapped a phone number in my contacts, the phone would pop up a message asking if I wanted to complete the action with Skype or the phone dialer. At some point, I chose to always use the phone dialer and it doesn't aske me anymore. But now, I want to have it ask me again...

    Battery consumption

    I recently got a new RAZR HD (not MAXX). I've been using it a few weeks and notice that the battery doesn't seem to last very long. I usually need to charge the phone once a day. With my old Driod X, I could go a couple of days without charging. I don't really use the phone that much...

    Help Can copy files from phone to one PC but not another PC

    When I connect my DX to a computer with the USB cable, I usually use "PC Mode" or "Windows Media Sync" instead of "USB Mass Storage".

    I'm using the app Easy Reminder to get constant notifications when I have a missed call or a text message. But it doesn't work on voicemails. Anyone know of something that will work on all three? I can't understand why this isn't base functionality in Android. Even my plain old basic cell...

    Hi. Sorry if this has been asked before. Seems like a simple question, but I couldn't seem to find the answer searching the forums. Is there a way to get some kind of audible notification when you have a missed call, voicemail, or text message? I know you get a notification when a text...
