    Help App to open HTML links to PDFs on local storage

    Forgot to report back. Using Simple HTTP Server app worked. I set the "Root Folder" as the folder containing the HTML and PDF files and then using the IP address provided by the app I can navigate through the all the HTML pages and open links to the PDF files. Works great.

    Help Android 9 "open with" options for apps

    The Kodi forums are back up and in this thread (Kore 3.0 feedback) it sounds like the dev removed the IMDb link due to the site being unreliable. So it was an intentional change. But other's are asking for the feature to be reinstated or at least offered as an option and I posted the same...

    Help Android 9 "open with" options for apps

    I sent the app developer an e-mail which is listed on the app's page in the Play Store but it replied with a canned message saying to use the Kodi forums (https://forum.kodi.tv/) but the site is down for maintenance right now. I may get better results over there once the site comes online again.

    Optical Illusions

    Very interesting thread. Although I can only see the ballerina spinning clockwise (as seen from above). Unless the trick is to also look from below so she's spinning counter-clockwise? And I certainly can't see her spinning cockwise (maybe my NSFW filter is blocking that view). Here's an old...

    Help App to open HTML links to PDFs on local storage

    I have some various user's manuals that are in the format of an index.html file which has about 500 links that open 500 PDFs that are stored in sub folders. Everything is on a micro SD card in my phone. Chrome says "content" is blocked. I tried HTML viewer apps but they open the html file but...

    Humorous Juxtaposed Texts

    Occasionally, two text messages that appear right after one another can be humorous even if they were sent days apart. Here are two that I have received. A co-worker texts that he won't be in due to "illness". The next text makes the first look a little suspect: The second is from the...

    Buying an unlocked G4

    I'm looking to buy a G4 that will be used with T-Mobile and maybe AT&T. I don't want any bloat or carrier crap on the phone. I checked Amazon but it looks like all the unlocked phones are international versions with no warranty. Where is the best place the buy a G4? Are the ones that the...

    The ugly side of social media

    Excellent article in The New York Times about the perils of social media and how it has ruined some people's lives. The reader's comments also contain excellent material (the NYT has a top-notch, moderated comment section which keeps moronic trolls out...a fine of example of how comments from...

    Help Sharing files with Samsung Tab 4

    Anyone here have a Tab 4 (4.4.2)in addition to their S4(4.2.2)? Why is trying to share files between the two devices so darn difficult? Both are rooted. The S4 has S-beam but it doesn't seem to work with the Tab 4. The Tab 4 has "Connect and Share" but the S4 doesn't show up as a nearby...

    K-9 battery drain

    I installed K-9 on my Galaxy S4 (rooted, stock 4.2.2, Sprint) to replace Gmail since I really hate conversation views. I love the app but it drains my battery like crazy. If I leave my phone on overnight with Gmail (no K-9 installed) then I lose about 8% of battery in 8 hours. With K-9...

    Length of call?

    Is there a way to display the length of a phone call in the stock dialer? It shows the time of the call but not how long the call was. If there isn't a way to do it with the stock dialer...is there another option for a phone dialer? I'm rooted. Thanks.
