I would like to use my Windows 10 PC to manage the files that are on my unrooted Galaxy S7 via WiFi. There seems to be several apps that enable writing to Android internal storage, but not to the SD-card.
I love having wireless charging, but I still have to connect my phone to my PC via USB...
I'm posting this as an FYI, just in case it helps anyone else...
I have long wanted the ability to do the following:
Cast/stream my mostly lossless WMA music library directly from my NAS (which is just a USB hard drive that is attached to my ASUS WiFi router) to my...
Is there a stealthy (preferably free) locate-my-phone app that can be hidden such that a phone thief wouldn't know it's there, and wouldn't know you were trying to locate the phone (from another device, like a PC)? (Android's built-in locator gives notification that the phone is being located...
Many times per day, my wife's Galaxy S5 becomes unresponsive to touch (screen or back/menu buttons). It doesn't respond to touch for a while (10-30 seconds), but then once it starts responding, it works fine. There's a reasonable amount of free RAM. I don't THINK it's a hardware issue. I...
I recently updated my Sprint Galaxy S5 to stock Sprint Android 6.01 (and rooted it). Whenever I connect the phone to my PC via USB, the phone displays a message asking me to allow or deny the MTP connection. Even if I briefly disconnect & reconnect to the same USB port, it asks me again. I never...

After doing hours of research, I figured out how to get rooted on a stock Sprint Galaxy S5 (with Android 6.0.1). I made step-by-step instructions and posted them over at XDA. I hope it helps save others from doing the hours of research and eases any apprehension about trying to root. I don't...
For MANY years, I've been using Windows Media Player (WMP) to play & manage the music that is stored on my desktop PC. That desktop PC is wired into my home's whole-house-and-patio sound system. When WMP is running on that PC, I'd like to control WMP from my Android 5.0 Galaxy S5, including...
Especially when I'm driving, I'd like to be able to command my Galaxy S5 (Android 5.0) phone read aloud my text messages-- and even my email messages. I can't figure out how to do this with Google Now (which would be great, since it's built-in). Do I need an app to do this ? If I need an app...
I've searched the web (including this forum) but I can't find a method to root the Kindle Fire 2 with software version 10.5.1. (Apparently earlier software versions were rootable.) Help?
I have an unrooted Sprint Galaxy S5, Chromecast, a DLNA BluRay player, DLNA TVs, & Xbox 360.
When at my vacation house (which has WiFi/Internet but no cable/satellite TV service), I'd like to wirelessly cast (from my from my phone to my TV) my Comcast "Xfinity TV Go" app or my Dish Network...

Mostly I dictate (voice-to-text) rather than typing but sometimes you can't do that because you're in quiet place (like a classroom) or you need to enter a password or something.
I installed Google Handwriting and I LOVE its ability to convert handwriting to text...

Can I use Google Now to launch Maps/Navigation for a contact in my Gmail contacts (which are also synced to the phone)?
E.g. I have a valid Gmail contact synced to the phone named John Smith who has a home address, mobile #, etc.
If I invoke Google Now and say...
I used to use the free Webkey app to remotely control my mom's phone from my PC's web browser, in order to provide her with tech support on the other side of the USA. But Webkey ran out of money and shut down their servers. I tried TeamViewer QuickSupport but it doesn't work right for her old...
I use (the free) MediaMonkey for Windows (MMW) on my PC and (the free) MediaMonkey for Android (MMA) on my phone because it's the only TOTAL PC-Android solution that I know of which can easily sync my music, videos, & podcasts (user-specified folders only) and playlists between my PC & Android...
I have an old, rooted, Optimus S (Android 2.3) with a broken SD-card slot that I'm donating to a homebound senior citizen as WiFi phone. I'd also like for him to be able to use it as a camera but the built-in camera app won't work without an SD card. Is there a camera app that could store photos...
I have an old, rooted, Android 2.3 Optimus S with a broken SD card slot that I'm donating to a homebound senior citizen as a free WiFi phone. I want to install Adaway (which isn't available on the Play Store) but I can't figure out how to install it without an SD card. How can I do that?
I...
I have an old, rooted, Optimus S (Android 2.3) without a cellular plan that I want to turn into a phone for a homebound senior citizen that:
Provides free voice and texting over WiFi.
Preferably uses that person's existing Google Voice (GV) number.
Uses the same phone number for (a)...
I don't think this is technically possible on Android (let alone v2.3) but just in case...
I want an app (like Tasker, Utter, et al) that can launch another app and then also essentially make selections in that app as though it were finger-tapping the launched app. I haven't tried Tasker but I...
Following are detailed instructions for setting up the powerful, flexible synchronization options for syncing MediaMonkey for Windows (MMW) with MediaMonkey for Android (MMA). It takes some time to initially set it up, but once you do, all subsequent synchronizations will be a breeze.

Background on the problem:
Unfortunately (due to Google’s corporate strategy, not technological reasons), Android does not officially support Windows Media Audio (WMA) format and Android doesn’t properly read WMA tags (which contain metadata like ID3 tags). Most Android music-player...
At last, there’s an excellent, FREE, convenient, total solution for syncing music (including WMA audio files & WMA tags) playlists, videos, & podcasts from my PC to my Android phone-- and for remote-controlling my PC’s music & video playback from my Android phone. It’s a total solution, like...
I have an Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) based phone. I used to be able to invoke Google Voice Search and say "Play Beatles" or "Listen to Let It Be" and Google Voice Search would launch the music player app and play that group or song. Now it just does a web search for "Play Beatles" or "Listen to...
Google Navigation is great if you have a data connection (or if you download some specific map tiles for offline use) but I wanted to install a free offline GPS navigation app for the rare occasions that I'm somewhere far from a data signal-- and for my spare WiFi-only Android phone.
I tried...
I've tried many music player apps (including WinAmp, DoubleTwist, PowerAmp, Google Play Music, et al) but the new version of MixZing has won me over with its new user interface and the addition of Shoutcast Radio, etc. Here are some reasons why it's tops in my book.
I've tried many media...
