    Is there an instrument tuner app that resembles the Ableton Live tuner?

    Is there a musical instrument tuner for Android that resembles the Ableton Live tuner? I want to find an app that will help me learn to tune my singing better. All the tuners I have found for Android are rather frenetic. For instance many imitate a physical needle, or abruptly change colour from...

    sdcardbackup folder invisible in internal storage folder

    I used Smart Switch to transfer data from my old phone to my S21 Ultra. It created a folder as a sub-folder of Internal Storage called sdcardbackup in which it put some or all (I'm not clear which at the moment) of the contents of the old phone's SD card. However, this folder is not listed when...

    Help Video camera app with manual settings and access to all cameras??

    Is there a video camera app that allows manual setting of parameters (white balance, focus etc) on the S21 Ultra and alsoaccess to all its cameras, a bit like Cinema 4k used to do? Cinema 4k, despite its age, seems to work on the S21 Ultra, but it can only use 3 of its cameras.

    Help Library-based music player that displays song title, not file name?

    On my old LG phone, there was a music player that displayed the song title from the sing title tag rather than the filename. I thought this was normal, just as it is for music players on Windows, but now I am trying to find a replacement app for my Galaxy S21 Ultra and I am coming up with a huge...

The reason I ask is because I have just installed a replacement battery (from a reputable store, but an unknown brand) in my phone and I am using AccuBattery to make sure that the capacity is approximately what it said...

    Help How do I set a different SMS sound to the default notification sound?

    Yesterday I did a hard reset on my G5 and therefore lost all the settings. I used to have it so that I had a different notification sound for SMSs to the default used by most of my apps, but now I can't find a way to make that happen.

    Help G5 constantly rebooting even after hard reset

    This afternoon the battery ran flat on my G5. When I plugged it into the charger, it started a cycle of constant reboots, usually before I had even got to the home screen, which has continued even after a hard reset. I have not yet restored any data since doing the hard reset since the phone...

    Photoshop Touch has disappeared. Can I get it back?

    Not long before it was discontinued, I paid for Photoshop Touch. That meant that even after it was discontinued, I was able to continue using this very useful little app. Even when I had to change phone, it got automatically installed by Google on my new phone, and there it remained for 3 years...

    number-of-pending-notifications indicators stuck on icons on home screen

    On my home screen on my LG G5 the counters for the number of pending notifications for two of my apps are stuck. I'm talking about the red circle with a number in it that appears at the top right of the icon for an app when you have new messages. In my case they are stuck for Whatsapp and Quora...

    Sudden battery drops followed by plateaus

I got the replacement from the retailer recommended to me by the wholesailer recommended to me by LG when I asked them where to get a genuine battery, so the battery ought not to be a fake. Recently I have found that I have had sudden drops in the...

    The battery of my LG G5 has recently started draining really fast. It is only a few months old, and according to Accubattery it still has 80% of its original nominal capacity. Today it went from 100% to 20% in 8 hours, with only a modest amount of facebooking, googling and emailing. I use...

    Facebook web links get hijacked

    Frequently recently, when I have clicked on a web link in Facebook, it gets hijacked and I get sent to a page in Chrome with stubborn pop-ups that try to make me download malware. I can't remember all the details of these pages, but one was a fake Google page and another that comes up frequently...

    Camera app with manual settings for video?

    Is there a camera app that gives access to manual settings for video capture? I'm talking particularly about such things as exposure. The camera app on my phone (an LG G5) gives me lots of control for taking stills, but not for video. An example of the kind of thing I am looking to be able to do...

    Help Task "persistent" is draining my battery. What is it?

    According to Battery Mix, a task called "persistent" is using a fair amount of battery (~7%). What is "persistent"? Could it also be connected to the fact that my battery also seems to drain very quickly a lot of the time in a way that I can't pin down to particular apps? By this I mean that it...
