    Help Orange borders around clicked links/images. Won't scroll past that point.

    This is not consistent behavior, but it does happen very often, in many different apps, among which are Google Now and Wikipedia. When I click a link, it gets an orange border around it, and if I try to scroll down after going back (with the orange border still present), it will snap back to...

    What's this game? (description)

    I've been racking my brains over this game I played several years ago, but I just can't seem to find it anywhere. It's a browser game where you had to train bugs to be fighters to fight a thread. A few more details: It was a top down game. You start with eggs, which need to be put in a...

    Reading planner app

    There is a plethora of reading planners for religious books, but a dearth of them for regular books, so I thought I'd try the App Requests page. The core functionality of the app is as follows. Input: Book title Name author Book series name (optional) Number of first page you will read*...

    Google Cardboard Apps in a viewer without button. How to click?

    I'm considering buying a replacement viewer for Google Cardboard, but most of the plastic ones tend not to have a button, making it difficult to navigate through most Cardboard apps. I'm aware of bluetooth buttons, but they seem to be a bit too expensive for what I want to use it for. Is there...

    Help Folder "alt_autocycle". What is it, and where does it come from?

    Ever since I updated my phone to Android 6.0 (OTA official update) I get a folder on my device for which I can't pinpoint the origin. It's called alt_autocycle, and it doesn't have any content. Removing it doesn't help, because it will just come back. In case it's related to my phone, it's a...

    Easiest (and smallest) way to transfer files from phone to phone?

    So, with Pushbullet and (especially) ES File Explorer gone from my devices, I'm looking for the easiest way to send files from one phone to another (or a tablet). I like Superbeam, but it requires confirmation in the form of a QR code or through NFC, whereas I just want to select the device I...

    Help [Google+] Is the "Following" circle special?

    I'm reorganising my Google+ circles, and I wonder if the circle named "Following" is special in some way. I mean, does it have some features which other circles which I make don't have, or is it just a standard folder, but with a special name and description to make organising easier? In other...

    Help Hide posts (such as youtube) from specific circles in Google+?

    I'm trying to figure out how I can share certain messages from specific circles, such as a Youtube comment, or a +1 given to a meme somewhere. It's not that I don't want anyone to find those posts, but rather that I don't want them to show up on the start page of some circles. If I understand...

    Why is the Facebook app so big, even as a fresh install?

    I've read explanations for the size of the Facebook app, mostly to do with caching for offline use. That's all well and good, but why is the app 214 MB large when it is just installed, without even having opened the app?

    Different (notification) sounds for different apps?

    Ever since I started using Android, I tried to set a specific sound for certain apps from which I get frequent notifications. So for gMail, I use the Dew Drop sound from Samsung, even on non-Samsung devices. My brain simply links that sound to "Ah, a new email". Pushbullet has the sound of a...

    Help OK Google anywhere doesn't work (even though it's enabled)

    So, yeah, that's the problem. I can use the voice command from the home screen, as well as the Google app, but when I go into any other app (or the lockscreen (the android lockscreen, not the moto one, I know it won't work with that one)), "OK Google" elicits no response. I don't have Moto...

    Help Can I change the lock screen apps?

    This is something I'm trying to figure out, but can't. I've deleted some apps that were represented as lock screen options, but the options are still there. Is there a way to set different apps for those shortcuts like, for example, in my sgs3 mini? It seems a bit weird to give those...

    Help Hangouts ringtone cut short when device is closed.

    When I call the Transformer, the ringtone is cut short (1 second), with a sound following it that is similar to the screen lock sound. After disabling the lock screen sound, the sound is still there, so that's probably not it. This only happens when the device is closed (docked in the...

    Google Now Launcher wallpaper doesn't work correctly.

    After mucking around with the dimensions of my wallpaper, as well as trying applying a new wallpaper in landscape mode as well as portrait mode, I just can't get my wallpaper to fully cover the screen without getting black bars at the bottom and/or the right. These bars are not the nav bar...

    .nomedia file hides audio files from Play Music, but also from Notification picker.

    This seems to be a common problem, but I haven't found a solution that works yet. Notification files show up in Play Music (even those in /media/audio/notifications, which should be invisible by default). Generally the solution given is to put a blank file named ".nomedia" in the offending...

    Looking for game(s) similar to Reign of Amira

    So what I'm looking for is a 3d free-roaming game with combos. Free-roaming is really important, because I don't want to fight in one-on-one matches, but rather against multiple enemies in a somewhat open area. What I really like is the combination of using the joystick (so yes, gamepad...

    [Looking for game] No nonsense solitaire game for a tablet (preferable without ads, and free)

    I've tried several games, but they suffer (so to speak) from one or more of the following: -No screen rotation (essential on tablets) -Prominently featured ads in the game -Only one type of game, and not Klondike -No themes (admittedly not essential, but I really dislike red as a...

    OK Google only searches my queries, doesn't execute commands.

    After trying the "OK Google" function a bit (I'm Dutch, so I have to use English, which is why it's just "trying out" at this stage), I found that none of the commands work. Whenever I would say "OK Google remind me to buy milk at 5 p.m." for example, it will just look that phrase up in...

    (Windows) Riptide GP 2 Google Play progress sync?

    After looking around a bit, I coudn't find any information on whether the Windows 8.1 version of Riptide GP 2 has Google Play integration. Does anyone know about this? It'd be a shave to pay 6 euro's on a game if I turned out not to play it because it won't sync my progress from my phone...

    looking for a reading planner app.

    When looking for an app to aid reading, I can only find apps for the bible. I'm looking for something for regular books. In the realm of websites I only found one, but I can't export the data, and it's not very easily handled, because it only gives a list of all days and at which page I...

    Youtube links in Gmail can't open directly in the Youtube app.

    Here's some behaviour I didn't have before: -Open Gmail -choose a YouTube "new video" notification mail -click the image in the video Previously, when default settings are deleted, it would give me the option to open it in Chrome, the default browser, or the YouTube app. Now, the YouTube...

    Help Happy Bay ads in notification area.

    I have no idee which app is doing this. I've used Ad Detector (Infolife), AppBrain Ad Detector and Lookout Ad Network Detector to find the culprit, but nowhere do I find the name "Happy Bay". The notification can't be swiped away, I have to click it to get it to go away. I've gone over all...
