    Textra - add recipients to a text reply

    Occasionally I receive a text from someone, and I'd like to include someone else on my reply. I do not want to go through the steps of creating a group, which many of the discussions of this question recommend. For this text only, I want the originator and someone else to get my reply. This...

    Turn Location on/off on Galaxy Tab S6

    I have Bixby routines on my Galaxy S10 phone that turn Location on and off. When I created the routines, Location was listed in Connections. I would like to create similar routines for my Galaxy Tab S6, but Location is not listed in Connections. Where is it? Both devices are running Android 11.

    Help Finding a Lost Phone

    My wife recently thought she had lost her Galaxy S10+ but later found it. That got me interested in "find lost phone" capabilities, which I had never set up on her S10+ or my S10. A bit of research told me that Samsung "Find My Mobile" and Google "Find My Device" both exist and that Samsung's...

    Changing Lock Screen Time Quickly

    When I am at home, I like to keep the lock screen time at 5 or 10 minutes to eliminate the need to unlock the phone frequently. However, the best solution I've found to the problem of the phone doing unexpected things after I put it in my shirt pocket to go somewhere is to set the lock screen...

    Setting Notification Sound in Textra

    I have used Textra for quite a long time, and I know I've set the notification sound for an incoming text before. However, in looking for the setting in the app today, I'm having no luck in finding it. I recently updated my Galaxy S10 to Android 11. Could that have something to do with this problem?

    Display Photos on Phone or Tablet

    I have a number of sets of photos in folders on my Windows PC, and I've copied them to my Galaxy phone (S10) and tablet (Tab A). I'd like to view the photos in one of these folders by just swiping from one to the next. Is there a simple app that will do this? When I've looked at slideshow apps...

    S10 Screen On/Off Question

    I'm getting acquainted with my new S10 that replaced the S6 I've had for several years. While I like the fact that when I pick up the S10 while it is lying flat on my desk with the screen off and seeing the screen come on ready for action, I don't like tapping the power button to turn off the...

    Many App Icons Missing after Smart Switch

    I've had my S10 for only a day, so I'm still getting used to it and the new version of Android and the new Samsung UI. I ran Smart Switch to bring over the contents of my S6, and many or all of the apps on the S6 are now listed in Settings/Apps on the S10. However, a large number of them do not...

    Android Messaging App

    I have a Galaxy S6 running Android 7.0. I've always used the messaging app that was installed on the phone when I got it. The icon has a yellow background with a couple of comic-book-like speech bubbles in the foreground. Recently I became aware of the Google Messages app. Why is there a...

    Google Assistant for Tablet - When?

    I know that Google Assistant has been rolling out to Marshmallow and Nougat devices for a few weeks. I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 running Android 6.0.1, and it got Assistant about a week ago. I also have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S tablet running the same Android version, but it has not yet...

    Help How to Keep Apps on SD Card

    My Samsung Galaxy Tab S was getting quite short on internal memory (16 GB), while the SD card (64 GB) was almost empty. I went through my list of apps and moved as many of them as I could to the SD card. This freed up a considerable amount of internal memory. However, whenever one of the apps I...

    Use of Samsung Wireless Charger with Galaxy S6

    I bought a Samsung Wireless Charging Pad shortly after I purchased my Galaxy S6. I like the charger, but it never starts charging the first time I set the phone on the pad. I have to set the phone on the pad, pick it up, and set it on the pad a second time. This usually works, although...

    Wireless Charger - keep it plugged in?

    I am getting used to my new Galaxy S6 which I bought at Costco last Thursday - an upgrade to the Motorola RAZR MAXX HD that I used for more than two years. Just today a Samsung Galaxy Wireless Charging Pad was delivered to my front door, and I've plugged it in and am charging the S6. A tiny...

    Chrome for Android - start with blank page

    I've Googled this problem, but most suggestions refer to desktop Chrome, not Android. Can I start the app with a blank page? Can't find such an option anywhere. Always starts with last page accessed, which is rarely what I want. Jim

    K9 Mail - Message Content Not Displayed

    I've used K9 Mail for quite some time, but just yesterday saw the new version with lots of changes. Getting familiar with it. Messages download and headers appear. I touch a header but no content appears. Temporary workaround: Pretend to forward the message and the content appears in the...

    Battery Drain and sensors.qcom

    My first Android phone was an HTC Droid Incredible. I loved the phone, but the battery life was poor, and sometimes I couldn't get through a day with a fully charged phone. When replacement time came and I started hearing rave reviews of the Motorola RAZR MAXX HD battery life, that's what I got...

    Mail Feature Missing in ICS

    The native Mail app on my Droid Incredible (running Gingerbread) has a nifty feature that allows one to specify the maximum size of an incoming message to be downloaded. Choices are 1KB (text only), 5KB (text only), 25KB, 50KB, 100KB, 1MB and no limit. This feature is invaluable on, for example...

    Want One-way Gmail Contacts Sync

    Over a period of many months the contacts on both my Droid Incredible and my Gmail account have gotten out-of-date compared to the primary contacts list that I maintain for Windows Live Mail, the primary email client on my PC. Today I "cleaned up" the Gmail contacts on my PC by deleting all...

    Dinc to Dinc2 Migration

    I've had an Incredible for several months and my wife has a plain old Samsung something that is several years old. She has decided to move to a smartphone, so the plan is to give her my DInc and get a new DInc2 for myself. What is involved in getting the phone numbers changed so that her number...

    Help Switching Audible Modes

    I've had my brand new Droid Incredible for less than a day. It replaced a BlackBerry Curve that I had for several years and really liked. One nice feature the BB had was that it would shift from ringing mode to vibrate mode by simply slipping it into its case. Absolutely nothing had to be done...
