    I have two identical 10" Samsung Galaxy tablets. Long story why, but I want to basically clone the entire contents of the one to the other. Is there an app, procedure or other relatively easy way to do this?

    I have an 8GB Android tablet (4.0.4 ICS) that is running out of room to install apps. I go into settings and storage and it gives a breakdown of all the items installed (apps, pictures/videos, Downloads, Misc.) I want to free up some space & it is saying there is 518MB of pictures/videos...

    is there an Android TV device that can output the Xfinity play app?

    I have seen several of these Android based boxes that hook up to your TV and basically allow you to have a android based OS on your screen (like on a phone or tablet). I even had one a few months ago (Midnight MX2), but didn't care for its controls & other features so returned it. Are there...

    I have a 32GB Nexus 7 I got in January 2013. I have already had to have it factory serviced once (RAM memory apparently failed) back in October 2013.

    I see the recent announcement of AllCast supporting full mirroring with the Chromecast. However, will the AllCast app for android allow me to stream/mirror video on my android phone simply coming from either the HBOGO, SHowtime Anytime or Xfinity Play apps directly to my DNLA TV as well? Or...

    Does "rooting" accomplish this?

    I got my 6yr old son a Nabi 2 tablet last Xmas. He loves it and it has been a good tablet for our needs. He uses it primarily in the kid mode while I am able to use it in "parent" mode as a Android 4.0 (ICS) tablet. All has been good. Lately, I have been thinking of rooting it. I know it can...

    Question about HDMI mirroring

    I have a Verizon Motorola BIONIC smartphone with the HBO GO app on it. It won't allow me to simply connect the phone's mini HDMI output to an HDTV and "mirror" the image as needed. I realize this is probably mostly an HBO GO app thing. Was wondering if rooting takes cares of this & allows...

    I got my 6yr old son a Nabi 2 tablet for Xmas. So far, he loves it and its been a pretty solid performer for us. It has a "nabi" mode for him and a "parent mode" for me that basically makes it an Android 4.0 tablet. It didn't come with the Google Play store and at first I thought this was going...

    I'm looking for an android app that will basically record the clean audio coming from another app that runs on the phone. Like streaming radio, Youtube, SIRIUSXM, Pandora, etc. All the recorder apps I have found simply record external sounds and are basically a mic on the phone.

    I have the SIRIUS app on a Verizon android (BIONIC) phone.
