    How can I disable sound notifications for apps only, but keep my ringtone sound enabled, for when someone calls

    Found it, in the Sounds and Vibration menu, there is one option called only "Volume." Pressing that gave me a menu with Ringtone, Media, Notifications, and System. I think that did it. Thanks.

    How can I disable sound notifications for apps only, but keep my ringtone sound enabled, for when someone calls

    Tried that, but that also mutes volume for youtube videos and what not. Is there a specific volume control for notifications?

    How can I disable sound notifications for apps only, but keep my ringtone sound enabled, for when someone calls

    I want to be notified in the event I get a facebook messenger post, but silently (with a number at the top of the icon). Right now, I get a sound notification too, which I don't want. I went into the Settings/Notifications/Notification sound menu, and saw the option for Sound, Vibrate, and...

    Battery app that auto-updates power level?

    The first one I don't remember, the current app is Battery Ace. Thanks for the recommendation, if I want to try a new app, I'll give that a shot. $2.50 for that is a bargain. Interestingly enough, since I started this thread, the app has been working as desired--as the battery power dropped...

    Battery app that auto-updates power level?

    I did look into my optimization settings, and I don't believe the battery has been optimized lately. This is the first time I've looked at that setting, though, but that app was not listed as one of the ones put to sleep lately.

    Battery app that auto-updates power level?

    Its not needless at all. I use reading glasses, and the number on the icon makes the power level much easier to see.

    Battery app that auto-updates power level?

    I have had two apps on my Android phone. I like everything about how they work, except the fact that the power level reading on the app icon remains the same until I open the app to see the power level. In other words, if I open up the app to check power level, it might read 90 (for 90%). Then...

    Problem with cleaning hidden cache?

    I just installed ccleaner for my Fire Tablet 10 (9th gen) and so far it is working more quickly now. There was one option I chose not to have it do--clean the hidden cache. Is there a reason why I would not want this cleaned out? Ccleaner said that it was occupying something like 2 gigs of...

    How to download entire file from OneDrive

    I can upload a file to OneDrive, but on my Kindle Fire Tablet, I can't seem to be able to download the entire folder onto my tablet. I can download those files, but only individually. Is there a way to do this in one fell swoop? EDIT: to clarify that I want to download entire folders at one...

    Screen protector for Samsung SM G360V

    Yesterday I cracked my screen protector for my Samsung SM-G360V Galaxy Core Prime, and want a new one. For whatever reason, I am having trouble finding a screen protector for the SM G360V, but I am finding a lot of results for the SM G360 (without the V at the end). Do those two phones have the...

    Way to install generic Android OS onto Kindle Fire HD 10?

    I just got an Amazon Kindle Fire HD 10 (9th gen), and managed to open up Google Play on it by installing some external software. The hardware is nice & responsive, no complaints, but I do like the ability to install the app of my choosing. It got me thinking. In case Amazon updates the OS and...

    How to move a downloaded mp3 file within phone

    I have a Samsung Galaxy A10e, and I managed to download an mp3 file that I want to play frequently. It currently resides in my Downloads folder (Audio subdirectory). I am able to select it, and then I can click on the Move or Copy options down at the bottom--but how do I actually move it? I want...

    External speakers for Moto G5+

    I would like to buy some speakers for a phone (not the one in my sig). The one I’m looking for is a Motorola Moto G5+. The person I’m shopping for listens to a lot of music on the phone. This wouldn’t have to fill a room at a party with people talking loudly, but it would be nice to get some...

    Does Ultra Power Saving Mode chew up juice to turn on/off?

    I was out all day yesterday and found my phone power level dropping to the single digits. I dug into the settings and started using the Ultra Power Saving Mode. However, we were at a theme park and I did want to take pics, so several times, I turned that mode off and then back on again after...

    Least restrictive droid browser

    The past year or two, I've been using Brave on my droid phone (built in adblocker is nice). Lately, I've become more and more bugged about various sites not being in compliance with http/https/certificates or whatever, and I have to press on a couple of buttons to allow the browser to load the...

    Why are some .docx files not being read by any .docx viewer?

    Today, I had several .docx files to read on my Samsung Galaxy. I was surprised when I saw a notification that told me that "No apps can perform this action" (I had already downloaded the Hancom Office Viewer). OK, I went to Google Play store, and installed Google Docs, the actual Microsoft...

    Help Google Play Store, Google Play Services, and Google App...

    I have all three on my phone, and would like to delete any that are not necessary. I do occasionally go on the Play store to download things, but that is it. Can I delete the Play Services and Google App? What would happen if I did?

    Help Security app recomendation and need to be phone administrator

    I was having problems with Malwarebytes on Android (kept freezing, even after uninstalling and reinstalling) so I am looking for a new one. The only name I recognized from the Google Play store that did not say that they would feed me ads (or in-app purchases) was Sophos. I am ok with this, but...

    Can I find out what apps I have already downloaded?

    In an effort to clear up space on my Samsung Galaxy, I uninstalled a bunch of apps. Now I have all the space I need, but I'd like to get that same flashlight app back. Is there a way to find out what apps I have downloaded in the past? I know that flashlight apps are a dime a dozen, but the last...

    I am trying to clear out programs on my android. I see musical.ly has a total of 565 mb of data in the "Total" row; with 533 mb in the "SD card data" folder. I don't have an SD card plugged in to this phone. So where would this data be? I want to delete it.

    Help Can't install anything--no room

    I have been trying to install the latest Android update. I cleared out what I thought was enough room, but even after restarting, it still is insisting that my Miscellaneous Files/System Memory folder has 4.4 gigs of data. The largest item in there is only 776 kb. I deleted the largest items...
