    My God, so much spam via SMS

    I'm using chompSMS, and have for years. I'm currently on a Samsung Galaxy Note 9. I don't even do all that much texting, but it's still an important app. Lately, however, I've been frustrated by the number of spam SMS texts I keep getting. Most of them are addressed to like a zillion...

    Constant beep beep-beep-bee-beep-beep

    I just got this Samsung Galaxy Note 9 and got it all set up how I like it. However, it keeps doing something I don't understand. When I'm doing nothing with the phone, it keeps beeping like "beep beep-beep-beeeeee-beep-beep." I swipe down to see if it's some kind of notification. There are a...

    Help Annoying. Now my passcode is bypassed

    I own a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. It's been a good phone. I'm happy with it in general. However, now I'm having a problem with the 4-digit passcode. I set that passcode up in the OS so that if my phone is ever lost or stolen, no one can go in and access my info. Good standard security...

    Bus Calendar Pro/Bus Tasks & Google Calendar

    I moved on from the default calendar app to Business Calendar Pro, which has more features. One of the things it offered was the ability to integrate tasks within the calendar. Cool deal. However, I would create a task just fine on my phone, but it would not show up in Google Calendar. Turns...

    How to save your purchase information?

    In Linux, and previously in Windows, if I buy an application online, I've always saved my installation package and my user license on two external hard dives. That way if I ever need to wipe my laptop and reinstall my OS or if I get a new laptop, I can reinstall the applications I've paid for...

    I use KOrganizer on my Kubuntu Linux laptop. Fortunately, I've found a way to get all the appointments from that and into my Android calendar. KOrganizer will export to an ics file, which I then copy via cable over to my Moto G. Then I use an Android app named ICS Importer to put all my...

    I'm new to Android use. I just got a Moto G. One of the reasons was I miss the days when I could carry around my Word and Excel files on my Palm Tungsten E2. I use LibreOffice and [name of company in Germany] Office on my Kubuntu Linux laptop. Both of these suites are capable of saving...

    First Android phone -- asking me about Google acct

    I just got my Moto G phone and called my service to activate it today. I haven't even made a call, a text, or surfed the web on it yet. I did hook it up to our household's wifi. It keeps asking me to put in my Google account info. I do have a Google account, but not because I even wanted...

    Choice of 3 things for getting a smartphone

    I've been wanting to get a smartphone for a while now. I've been just using a clunky prepaid Tracfone, but there's no denying the advantages of a smartphone. I've stayed away this long because I don't want a long-term contract. I want to be able to leave if I don't like a service. I've...
