    Help Cross-platform alternatives to Family Link?

    My daughter has a new LG Journey. We want to monitor and approve which apps she downloads and purchases she wants to make. The devices we would use to monitor her are an iPhone and a Chromebook. Can anyone recommend something other than Family Link? Prefer something free of course, but would...

    Help Samsung Galaxy A10s - video calls no longer working

    Hey gang, been a long time since I've needed help. I've got an issue since the last Android update around a month ago. I'd been having video calls on a weekly basis, then the OS updated, and then the video calls no longer worked. We tried a couple of different video platforms, they all appeared...

    Help Half of screen sliding upwards

    Just got a used LG G4. Don't have a case for it yet. All was working well with it until I dropped it earlier. Now the left half of the screen kinda shimmies and shakes it's way upwards, one or two rows of pixels at a time. It seems to reset itself for a very short while when I hit the home...

    Help Can I unlock my phone for free?

    Rather than try any of the shady YouTube videos and websites, I figured I'd just ask here. Specifically, if I buy a phone that uses the T-Mobile network, but the phone is locked to Simple Mobile, can I unlock it somehow to use with my T-Mobile plan? I already have the sim card in my old phone...

    LG Rebel 4 - under $20

    It's a budget phone by today's standards, and who knows how long Walmart will have it in stock and/or at this price. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Straight-Talk-LG-Rebel-4-Prepaid-Smartphone/971472862

    Cheapest new (not used/refurb) T-Mobile phone?

    [Debated whether to post here or in Deals, but since I've got T-Mobile, I chose here.] So, I've had a Samsung Galaxy On5 for a while now, got it new on sale for $50 at the time. And now I have some Christmas money, so I thought I'd ask if anyone knows of any similarly priced T-Mobile compatible...

    Anyone else have one?

    Got this for myself back around Christmas. It'd be nice to know if others have one so we can help each other out if necessary.

    Root I think I'm ready to root

    (sorry for cross-posting, but I got zero replies in the Samsung Galaxy On5 forum I originally posted this to a couple days back) Tired of the mandatory updates and bloatware hogging up all my phone's HDD space. I have a big SD card, but I'm only allowed to move certain apps to it. If I root...

    Root I think I'm ready to root

    Tired of the mandatory updates and bloatware hogging up all my phone's HDD space. I have a big SD card, but I'm only allowed to move certain apps to it. If I root, can I move more of my apps to the SD card? Can I safely delete some of the bloatware and such? Is there any way to just make the OS...

    Help Copying profile from one device to another

    Hi all, (Feel free to move this to a more appropriate sub-forum/folder if need be.) I've been using a Samsung On5 (cell phone) as my only Android device for some time now. I just got an RCA Galileo (tablet) for Christmas. While setting up the tablet, it asked if I wanted to use my current...

    Amazon Fire HD - kinda, sorta Android

    I see that the Amazon Fire HD 7 is currently on sale for just $29.99, and I'm thinking of getting it. I know it runs Fire OS, but from what I've read I can easily install Google Play Store without rooting or hacking, and I'll still be able to use everything I've ever bought on Google Play since...

    Help New phone or just a tablet?

    Several months ago my beloved Droid Maxx started acting up, never was able to completely fix it (despite numerous suggestions from the members on here). So I kept it strictly for internet/gaming/music/GPS and bought a cheap Coolpad Rogue as my "phoning and texting" device. Didn't wanna spend a...

    Rogue, not rouge...

    I actually got this from Walmart a few months ago at $29.99. PROS: Extraordinarily inexpensive smartphone, aesthetically pleasing, has a MicroSD slot for up to a whopping additional 32gb of storage, no crashes of any kind. CONS: Below average screen size (my fingers aren't fat, but sometimes I...

    Seeking WMA player with Shuffle option

    TL;DR - See title of thread Ripped my CDs to WMAs around 10 years ago. Why not MP3s instead? Because I was a n00b and didn't realize that Windows Media Player's default was WMA instead...around 700 albums later, well, what do you know? Wasn't a big problem when I got my first portable MP3...

    Help Sometimes unable to send texts

    Forgive me if this thread is not the best choice to ask my question in (and kindly redirect me if need be). I have a Motorola Droid Maxx (not a Razr, not a Maxx 2, just the plain old MDM) which was working fine with T-Mobile up until the last month or so. Now, with no discernable pattern, I am...

    Help My KitKat questions

    Hi everyone, I just got a Droid Maxx (with T-Mobile service) this past week and it has KitKat (v4.4.4) installed. The last Android OS I had (on my LG Lucid 2 with Verizon service) was Jellybean (v4.1.2). Is it just me, or have some of the options/features been scaled back? Is it the O/S? Is...

    Help Switched my Verizon phone to T-Mobile service - what now?

    I still have some Verizon apps that I'd like to get rid of, especially the one that tries to backup my contacts throughout the day (but can't, since I'm no longer with Verizon). But I'd expect that would require me to root my phone, which I've never done (for fear I'll screw something up). So...

    Help Just switched carriers, still have old phone number

    We switched all 5 of our family's phones from Verizon to T-Mobile. Everyone got their old phone number back almost immediately, except me. :mad: I'm able to view my new phone number by dialing #686#, and it has an area code from the next state over. Just for giggles, I plugged the phone...

    MicroSD card - any limits?

    Are there any limits to the capacity or type of MicroSD card for the Lucid 2? Can I use MicroSDHC? Thanks in advance (and once again officially if you're helpful).

    Selling my extended life battery

    Rather than sell it on ebay and have them take a chunk of the money, I'd like to sell it to one of the fine members of these forums. I just upgraded to the Lucid 2 and don't need it anymore. I'll include the oversized backplate for the battery. Anyone interested? (And if its against the...

    Tablet with Play Store?

    I'm look for an Android Tablet under $100 that comes with Google Play Store. I was looking at the Visual Land Prestige, but after a little fact-finding I discovered not only that it does not include Google Play Store, but it actually voids the warranty if I install it manually. Normally...

    Help Cell & PC competing for my emails?

    Just got my new phone yesterday (Stratosphere) & set it up to retrieve my email from all my accounts. On my old phone (LG Ally) my email would get pulled to my cell, but also remain on my pc. After waking up this morning, I see maybe 20% of my new emails are on my pc, while the other 80% are...

    Help low memory?

    I keep getting messages that my phone is low on memory, and as a result I can't send/receive text messages. Any tips, besides deleting my text messages? I really can't imagine the text messages are enough to clog it up. I don't even have much in the way of downloaded apps. Thanks in advance.

    "Screen Guard Professional" - help with tabs?

    Decided to try a screen guard for my phone, so I bought a set of 3 real cheap on Ebay. I followed the directions as best as I could, and I thought I had it done right. It fit well on my screen, I smoothed out the bubbles with little effort, it has a nice mirror effect, it doesn't smudge like...
