    Camera app

    What app would I look for? I'm using Darktable on Linux Mint to download pix from OnePlus 5. That works, but tethered shooting is also available. Every search I've done always defaults to tethering phone as an internet connection. I want to tether the phone with some kind of Live View app. Is...

    Help Oreo

    Re: Oreo I saw an article where Google was putting its foot down on some apps in order to implement Oreo. Whatsapp was one and so was Nova Launcher. Has anyone seen the changes in Nova? I read the article about what part of Nova was a problem, and it's the one part of Nova I ignore. Gestures...

    Oxygen and permissions

    How does Oxygen OS deal with permissions? I'm familiar with MM 6.0 and I think the last Cyanogen I used was 11. I usually turn off 90% of Google. All I need is the app store. Play Music and Books usually deleted. Device is a walking library, so would like books and some apps to open faster -...

    Microphone apps.

    I would like to use the Moto X Pure's mike as a standalone microphone. I do NOT want to speak to Google, or dictate. I just need a mike to pick up and amplify a certain sound pertaining to medical device. Do any of the apps listed in Play Store do that?

    Help Video specs

    Where do you find specs on video? I upgraded MLB on an older Acer last year. The upgrade was for 4.0 and above. The tablet ran 4.1. It wouldn't play. I had to get a newer tablet. Now there is another MLB upgrade available. The newer tablet also does not give the FPS needed to run. I can...

    Help App lockers.

    What happens to updates or checks for licenses if you lock Play Store? I have a couple of programs that do validate that way. Also - most of them have the most horrible lock screens. I want MY photos. I only want to lock Play Store anyway. I don't want the method that Google uses. Besides...

    Why doesn't Android?

    I'd like an explanation in English for this: Why can't Android download lessons from Craftsy to be viewed later? idevices can. What's the difference? The Vulcan keeps the windows up in the car at all times and shoves cotton in his ears to kill road noise. It also means there is no conversation...

    Why isn't there?

    A repository for older versions of apps? It's a real bummer when an update screws up an app and you can't go back after a certain window.

    Help Lightning Browser

    Question - I have the browser set to delete everything on exit including history. When I open the browser the next time, history is still there and I have to clear it manually. I've emailed the maker, but he's stated that he doesn't always answer emails (student). Am I missing something...

    Security

    Came across this in a tech aggregator this AM https://news.hitb.org/content/delete-unused-android-apps-now-or-risk-security-nightmare Take a look at who they are quoting. Personally, I don't think my paid astronomy apps and nature guidebooks are a threat.

    Help Puffin Pro

    Looking for the difference between Puffin and Puffin Pro. Descriptions of both apps are identical. Tried searching to find reasons to buy Pro version and most of the posts were from crackers (literally. rogue APKs). No real explanation of why you should buy Pro. Does anyone here know the...

    screen lock

    I've searched and got quite a bit on the privacy end. My Moto has seemed to start opening programs on the list that only runs in memory - the ones you are not supposed to use task killers on. If I leave them for android, I find them open after I get the phone out of the leather holster I use...

    What's up with Swiftkey?

    I use it, and it suddenly refused to go to the minor character on a split key. I wanted an ampersand, and I couldn't get to it. It did not show up as a choice over the letter key. It was printed on the key, but you couldn't enable. All of the minor choices were hard to enable. Swiftkey's swipe...

    Help Looking for timer app

    Is there a decent timer app that would shut off a tablet screen and all at a set time? I've got a decent wifi timer, but I need to shut the screen off, too. Thanks

    File formats

    What are EPUB, MOBI, PDF considered? They all belong to books that use ereader software. Are they considered data or media? I think of them as media. I'm trying to set up a folder in 6.0 where I want it on the ext sd card. The app seems to be showing picture folders only. I consider books to...

    Time preference

    Is there any way to figure out which app uses which time? MXPE 6.0 native ( no update to) I have my phone and all apps set to 12 Hour. I seem to have one app that appears in universal/24 hr format in small areas, like bottom of page. I've hunted through all apps and checked time and I can't...

    What are they?

    I can't stand it any more. What are the circled things vestiges of? They must have worked at one time or another. If they don't do anything, why are they still there?

    Help weather

    Do app developers think that Android users just want cutesy? Still looking at weather programs and the most usable ones belong to iOS dammit. Accuweather, and a few iOS exclusives have jet stream maps, US front maps, etc. Looking at the pics from Accuweather, Apple's is closest to the web site...

    Update for Tab 4?

    Just acquired a refurb since Acer will no longer play MLB games. Notice just came down on the Samsung tablet that there is a system upgrade. I searched and it looks like Samsung is moving to MM. Does anyone have a way to check it out? If it is MM, I don't want it. I have it on the phone and...

    Setting up US phone from UK

    I'm getting ready to send the kid my old Nexus 4 for use in the US. I feel better that she has a US phone available as soon as she can use it to check on hotels, car rentals, and text her friends. She's on an extra line on my TMO account so she has a US number and US SIM. She has a Gmail...

    Help X-Plore

    I'm trying it after reading some recommendations on this forum. It isn't bad, some things could be a little larger so you could read them and it does work as advertised. But-- What is the story with the Beers? I don't mind buying an app, but the way that works is crazy. How are they really...
