    Cloud Wallpaper Rotation

    Hi, I have lots of photos taking up space on my SD card. I keep them stored locally because I have a Live Wallpaper app that rotates through them once per day. I was wondering, if I uploaded them to Dropbox, is there any way I could retrieve one random photo from a particular folder every 24...

    Help Ancient tablet always running slow :(

    I have a Nexus 7 2012 Lollipop tablet that has 1GB of ram, I love the thing but it always runs slow. After rebooting I start out with about 425MB of free ram but as I continue using it, it drops around 200MB and becomes sluggish. For some reason I feel as if Android is not managing my ram...

    Looking for a launcher that doesn't interact with the live wallpaper

I have two pages that I flip between on the desktop; one is empty, the other is filled with widgets. When I flip between these two pages, my live wallpaper moves...

    Help Backed up apk is too small compared to Play Store version

    I backup apks all the time using Super Backup (non-root), and notice that the game apks are much smaller in filesize than the version in the Play Store. This isn't unique to Super Backup, it happens to all of them. The Play Store will say the apk is 457MB in filesize, but the backed up apk is...

    Help Does turning off Data when using Wifi, save on battery?

    Does turning off the Data help with battery, if you're using Wifi (wifi calling etc) to do everything instead? It is difficult to understand how exactly Data and Wifi react in tandem with each other, if they do at all. Samsung's 'Download Booster' is the only thing I'm aware of. I've never...

    Why can't older Androids receive new OS updates?

    I know it is not possible to get new OS updates on certain Androids due to hardware/storage/memory/manufacturer restrictions, but not all Androids have these issues.

    On a daily basis now, I've been getting unwanted calls, and every number is always different. I have no idea what I did to start them up, but they're getting increasingly annoying. What is the best way to block these idiots? Filtering these numbers through the contact list is no longer ideal.

    Can a text message infect Android?

    It's kind of a silly question but I'm curious. Can Android be infected by a simple text message? I'm not necessarily referring to the content of the message. I'm referring to the actual raw text message itself, being sent from someone like a relative (assuming they have an infected device)...

    The Lastpass password manager app can be used on a web browser, but does it work on apps? I'm sure it has been updated to the point where it can be, but I haven't tested because it requires a subscription to use. Does anyone out there use this app? I'd like to know what others have to say...
