    Android photos on desktop

    Unsure how many people are aware of this method to access your phone photos from the desktop using the following URL. I discovered it a couple of months back and thought maybe helpful to others. Use this URL: https://www.google.com/photos/about/ This allows you to access your photos on Win10...

    Help Broke my 5X. Fixable?

    Is a service manual for the Nexus 5x available? Long story short, I was having a problem with my camera, so I whacked the phone on the palm of my hand a couple times (yeah, that might help! [lol]) and after that I lost the network and nothing I have tried has been able to bring it back. Maybe...

    Help Android 7.0 empty photo folders

    Empty photo files in Android 7.0? Since my Nexus 5X was upgraded to Android 7.0, I have noticed in the DCIM\Camera folder that every photo I take is accompanied by a similarly named EMPTY folder. So folder IMG_20161019_150443 is empty but there is a corresponding IMG_20161019_150443.jpg in the...

    Help Notification LED

    The notification LED on the 5X is way bright! There is no control to manage how bright it is (that I know of). Can anyone recommend any of the free notification LED apps on GPlay?

    Help Data Usage

    I can set the cellular usage data cycle to any ONE particular date in the month for a period of [apparently] 30 days only. I have to remember to reset this monthly as TMobile does a strict 30 day plan, which causes my plan to being on different days of each month. OTOH, Google's Wi-Fi data...

    Help Transferring files to Windows

    When I plug a USB cable from Windows 8.1 to my Nexus 5, nothing happens. I don't get a file explorer window showing the N5 as a pseudo disk drive any longer. A refresh in an open file explorer window does nothing. There does not seem to be anything I can do to make the N5 show up in Windows...

    Help Dismal Nexus 5 Battery

    I've had the Nexus5 for about 19 months now. Battery power was never great, but it was generally acceptable. However, in the last month or so, I'm seeing huge battery drains and it looks like it is coming from the Android system itself. Last night, I charged the phone to 100% and then left...

    Help Duo Telephone?

    At some point in the past, I clicked something from Hangouts making it handle phone calls. However, I was never able to find out how to turn off the default phone app. So when I get a call, I get both apps fighting for the call. When I answer, the other app keeps ringing for a few rings...

    Help Android 5.0 - Google Voice & Bluetooth

    I discovered today that Google Voice recordings (displayed in hangouts app) refuse to play through either of the two Bluetooth headsets I have. They will play through a headset plugged into the audio jack and they will play through the phone speaker. I tried turning BT off & on, unpairing...

    Lollipop - Camera from lock screen

    Under KK and previous versions, when I swiped the camera icon, it opened with the rear facing camera, so I could take a photo of whatever was going on around me. This is useful to me as I take a lot of photo's when out hiking. Now, when I swipe the camera open, the front camera opens in I...

    Mark me underwhelmed

    With Android 5.0, they changed the icon look and moved a few things around but I don't see very much new function. It's actually more complicated when it should be the opposite. And uglier. - Why do I have to go 2 screens deep now to see if Wi-FI or Bluetooth is turned on? Go to the Settings...

    Help Blue spot

    After the 4.4.2 update, I've discovered that some of the photos I took on Sunday have a small bright blue spot in the photo. No photo's prior to the 4.42 update contain the blue spot. I can't discern any pattern. About 25% of the images I took today have the spot. The spot is in different...

    Help How to take screenshot?

    It is supposed to be push the power button and the home button at the same time. But this is near impossible to do in synch. Sometimes it takes me 20 tries to get a single shot with the phone shutting off or winding up on the home page but w/o a screenshot. There must be an easier and more...

    Help HTC EVO camera question

    I've had this HTC EVO V 4G phone for 5 months now and am very disappointed in the poor photo quality at the 5mp size. There is a lot of noise and focus fuzziness in most of the photos I have taken. I also recently noticed that this camera takes photos at 72 DPI (as opposed to 180 DPI by my...

    Help What I don't understand

    I am new to smartphones. Three weeks ago I brought the HTC EVO V. Generally it works well except for one major problem. I get poor mobile phone service in my home (but wi-fi is OK, so that helps overcome the problem). What I see is the signal strength bars keep going up and down, as if...
