    Help Android 6.0.1 won't access external media card

    I successfully installed and encrypted a brand new 128 GB SanDisk Ultra external media card, in my brand new Samsung Galaxy 7, copied photos onto it (tethered to my computer), and accessed them without incident, until today, when suddenly, my pseudo-intellectual phone utterly fails to access the...

    Help Android deleted my associated contact photos

    Can anyone hazard why exquisitely defective Android recently deleted most (though curiously not all) of the photos I had painstakingly assigned to my contacts, or for that matter, why fascistic google insists on substituting gmail photos for the ones I picked for contacts with gmail addresses?

Swype remembers new words -- both the correct ones and the incorrect ones which need to be deleted -- but neither Swype...

    Swype Benefits Defeated by User Dictionary

    Google programmers, come out of your bunkers and hear ye! Swype is brilliant, but any advantages in speed are completely defeated by the idiotic fact that the user dictionary automatically memorizes new words, with no user defined ability to disable this feature, or decline to add a given word...

    Mail client fails to refresh delete emails deleted on server

    Among the dumber aspects of Android which Google has stubbornly failed to address is this: You sync a POP3 email account (Comcast in my case). You delete messages off the server. You refresh your Android email app. It downloads the new messages, but doesn't delete the old ones which you deleted...
