    How to I use my PC to do my text messaging for the phone?

    I recently saw something pop up on my phone about using my google account on the PC to do text messaging, instead of having to use the phone. Now I can't remember what it was or find it again, can anyone help?

    How can I stop my phone charging at the recommended 80%?

    OH shoot it does too! I didn't expect that on my cheap and cheerful A13 so I didn't even check - I've never even been that far into the battery settings. If anyone's wondering it's in settings/battery and device care/battery (where it also shows the level and time remaining)/more battery...

    How can I stop my phone charging at the recommended 80%?

    That doesn't sound like Apple. I thought their business model was to have their batteries die young.

    How can I stop my phone charging at the recommended 80%?

    I would like to not have to keep checking it when it's charging tho. I'm too easily distracted and forgetful. An alert would be helpful.

    How can I stop my phone charging at the recommended 80%?

    If, as recommended in several videos I've watched, it's helpful for battery longevity to avoid full charging (and leaving on charge when full) how can I best do that? I have a Galaxy A13 and as far as I'm aware there's no way to make it stop charging automatically. My next step was apps that...

    Help When on a phone call, display goes blank black. How do I turn that off?

    Oops, now kinscreen has stopped working. Same as 'screen alive'. That worked for a little while, then stopped working. Back to screen turning off during speakerphone calls.

    Is there a simple TV type remote control for my tablet?

    I would need something without a receiver dongle. Something bluetooth. Thanks for looking tho. Also it's not just a matter of warmth, that was an example. I'd just like it for general use. I like the idea of a tactile real-buttoned way to control my screens, even the little ones. It's nice to...

    Is there a simple TV type remote control for my tablet?

    I watch a LOT of video on my tablet in bed and elsewhere. It's on a stand and it sits on the bed or the side table. It annoys me having to get my hands out to control the video, especially when it's cold. Is there any such thing as a remote like the one for the chromecast-with-google-TV, so I...

    The microphone feature on my Sony Bravia (KD-49X8000H) remote has stopped working

    I have just now noticed that every other button on the remote when pressed causes the light on the bottom of the TV to flash, but the microphone one does not. Has to be a hardware thing I think.

    The microphone feature on my Sony Bravia (KD-49X8000H) remote has stopped working

    I press the microphone button on the remote control and nothing happens. I can't find a specific thing in settings to turn it back on, or turn it on/off at all. Edit: I have just now noticed that every other button on the remote when pressed causes the light on the bottom of the TV to flash, but...

    How do I make my Galaxy A13 screen stay on during speakerphone calls?

    I often prefer to use the speakerphone feature when making calls on my Galaxy A13, with the dialpad screen on to select choices etc. I've tried 'screen stay on' apps which do work for the phone in general, but none seem to work for the phone call screen. It always dims after ten seconds and goes...

    Large button or icon for google microphone?

    I like using the google search microphone, but it's sometimes kinda fiddly having to hit it in the google widget bar. Is there a way or an app that can have the google voice search button big and chunky on the homepage? Note: I don't like using the 'hey google' or 'ok google' feature.
