    MX Player Pro notification beeps continually during playback

    Before my Galaxy S9 upgraded to Android 10 I could leave MX Player Pro running in the background and pull down the notification bar to pause, stop or play. Now, with all the settings the same there is a notification beep every few seconds if I navigate away from the player screen. The only way...

    Google Phone Version 28.0 Beta

    I understand that simply by being a Beta version, there could be issues, but has anyone else experienced the Google Phone version 28.0 beta app crashing when blocking a number? This is the only time it crashes on my Galaxy S7 SM-G930A running Android 8.0.0, Samsung Experience 9.0. Thanks.

    Help How to save both SMS AND MMS to PC for free?

    I just installed SMS Backup+ from Google Play Store, which seems to have no trouble shooting all my SMS (no MMS) texts over to a Gmail folder. But I want to also backup my MMS too, with all the attached photos, videos, etc. I've seen a couple Windows programs that will copy everything down to a...

    Help Can I auto connect from one bluetooth device to another on a Galaxy S7?

    Ok, this is annoying the heck out of me. I have a bluetooth earbud in my ear most of the day. It stays connected, no problem. When I get in my car the bluetooth connection jumps to my stereo, which is great, because I'd rather talk and hear through that when I'm in the car. But as soon as I...

    Help Notification bar wifi shows 2 bars but Settings shows 4

    Can anyone explain the inconsistency? The Settings reading seems to be correct, because there isn't a lag when I play online content, but its disconcerting to see the low bar reading in the Notification bar. This is on a Galaxy S5 Active running Lollipop and happens wherever I connect, whether...

    Help Galaxy S5 Active Camera Import via OTG

    When I plug in my Nikon D50 via the OTG connector, Camera Import opens automatically and allows me to import the photos. It seems to default to the internal card, but I'd like it to go to my added MicroSD, which has much more space. I could move them, but I'd like to designate the location. Is...

    Help Wi-fi connected but nothing loads, if I disconnect and use cell signal, everything works

    ATT Galaxy S5 Active. When connected to wi-fi nothing loads, like webpages, Google Play, Facebook, video services, etc. But if I disconnect wi-fi and use the cellular signal, they all load perfectly. Even though ATT pushed Lollipop a couple days ago, this has been happening for a couple...

    Perfect Keyboard Pro question ... ?

    I've tried dozens of keyboards but always end up landing on Perfect Keyboard Pro as my default. Its T9 key and voice key are appropriately placed, and its basic, yet customizable layout is superb! There is but one little annoyance. It seems to come preloaded with dictionary words that I...

    Is there a good alternative to the Facebook app, to keep feed and messages integrated?

    I've read about Friendcaster, Fast for Facebook and some others but haven't tried any. FB Messenger may be a fine app, I don't know, but I'm not too keen on FB telling me I must install a second app when I only send messages on FB when I am already using FB. Otherwise, the stock Android...

    Help How can I delete words from predictive text (NOT user dictionary)?

    All I keep seeing is advice about how to delete words from the 'dictionary,' but I have words popping up in my predictive text that are NOT in my dictionary (like AfterDawn, every time I type after). I know how to customize my dictionary via Language and Input. Also, long pressing the...
