    Strange Internet Delay

    Moto7+, Android 10. When I say delay, I don't mean slow Internet. I have a 50mbs fiber connection, and speed test shows that's what I'm getting. The problem is that in certain apps, when I initiate an action that requires Internet access, there is a very long (up to about a minute) delay before...

    Strange security problem?

    My Moto G7+ just updated to Android 10. Apart from the mess that is Android 10, a strange thing occurred. As soon as the update was complete, there were two downloads of annual statements from my broker. I had not opened their app, or logged in in any way. Any clues as to why this happened?

This contact got deleted, but it still shows up in favorites (without the avatar). When I select it, I get "This...

    Help Google sync removes WhatsApp from contacts

    Using Google Contacts, Nougat. WhatsApp (and Duo, btw) puts WhatsApp flags in my contacts. Great. But as soon s Google sync runs, all of these items disappear from my contacts. If I disable Google sync for contacts, everything stays fine. I've tried other contacts apps, but they all have the...

    Red LED Nexus 5X

    Since Oreo update, I seem to get a red flashing LED when I first disconnect the charging cable in the morning. No related notifications, and it stops after I check notifications. Other threads on the web suggest this is either a dead battery or a dead Nexus. My battery seems fine and the Nexus...

    Weird notification issue with Oreo

    This has happened a couple of times. WhatsApp messages time-stamped at around 3pm showed up around 3am, complete with notification sound ( which woke me up). Now the late delivery could be a WhatsApp issue, but how come I get the notification sound during my downtime (alarms only)?. WhatsApp is...

    Help Can't Edit Contact Name

    Nexus 5 Marshmallow. I've found that it's not possible to edit a contact name (Google Contacts). It goes through the motions, but leaves the name unchanged. I've tried several different contact apps, same result. Now when I go to the web interface on my desktop, I find that the name has been...

    Help I don't understand ...

    I'm new to the Android Wear world, with my new Hauwei Watch. There are some basic things I don't understand. First, app management. I have apps appearing on my watch that I don't want to be there, and a lot of apps on my phone (Nexus 5, Android 6) that I would like to show up on my watch (e.g...

    Help Marshmallow lock screen

    I noticed after I updated my Nexus 5 to Android 6 (Marshmallow), the bottom left corner of the lock screen, which used to be the phone, has changed to a Google-linked microphone. I don't have a problem with this since I do most of my calls by voice command anyway. Here is the anomaly; My unlock...

    Help "OK Google" using Skype for calls

    Suddenly, when I say "OK Google, call home" I noticed that it was using Skype to make the call. It has previously always gone to the regular phone app. I couldn't find a way to change this behaviour. Even if I removed all the defaults, it would just give me a choice of phone or Skype, but my...

    Photo management

    Nexus 5, 4.4.4 The most annoying thing about my phone is the lack of ability to manage photos; creating albums, moving photos from one album to another, etc. The stock Gallery app does not provide this. I used QuickPic for a while, but then I found that if I used the editor from quickpic, then...

    Returning my Nexus 5

    I really wanted to switch from iPhone so I bought a Nexus 5. My problem with it is that I spend most of my time in Mexico, but retain a US address and credit card. Google Play will NOT allow you to download ANYTHING if you are not in the country of your credit card. I found this really hard to...
