    Help Spy app not based in China?

    Hey people, I'm looking for an app to install on my childs phone to spy on everything they do on it without them knowing. There's a ton of them out there but every "Best 10 app blah blah blah" lead to apps that are based in China. Does anyone know of one that's actually based in the USA?

    Help "No Location Access" Popup

    This just started within the last month. I leave my "Location" turned off, by the main switch, 99% of the time. On rare occasions, 3 times in the last year, I turn it on to use google maps. For a few weeks now I constantly get these damned annoying popups telling me my location is turned off...

    Help Stream video from phone to tablet

    Hey people, I want to put a bunch of mp4's on my phone and be able to watch (not copy to) them on my tablet. Why? Because my 64GB sdcard in my tablet is nearly full and the 32gb sdcard in my phone is nearly empty. Both are formatted as internal so just swapping sdcards is not an option. Does...
