    Using Lenovo laptop charger?

    Hi, I happened across a Lenovo 8SSA10M13947C charger for a laptop and wondered if it would be safe to use with my Galaxy S10+? It says output includes 5V at 2A, and I believe that's what my current charger uses?

    Understanding charging options

    Hi, I have a new Samsung Galaxy S10+ along with a number of other Android devices (kindle, other android phones, etc). I've also recently purchased the Anker PowerWave Pad (A2503). Can you recommend an Anker power supply that's appropriate for this? What is the amperage that's needed to charge...

    Tethering without Hotspot service?

    Hi, I have an SM-G955U and wanted to see if there were any tethering options without having to pay for the Sprint tethering/hotspot service? I rooted my S5 many years ago, but I haven't really followed it since. Has the S8+ been rooted yet? Does it provide tethering? Would someone point me to...

    CNN app and split-screen

    Hi, CNN apparently just upgraded their app. The previous version worked with split-screen on my Galaxy S5 really well. CNN on the top, and facebook on the bottom. Now that they've updated their app, and I've upgraded to the Galaxy S8+, it appears to no longer work. Any ideas how to configure...

    S8+ Case options

    Hi all, I'm interested in case options for the new Samsung Galaxy S8+, ideally a hardshell case like the Otterbox. Are there other options available that you find to be better? Do you get the protective glass cover for your phone? I'm not sure it's worth the $45.

    Help Constant insufficient storage problems

    Hi, I have a Galaxy S5 with Sprint and only a few applications installed, but I'm receiving constant messages when trying to install new apps, or even download mail, about insufficient device storage. I'm a relatively technical user, so understand how storage works. I have a 16GB SD card in...

    Help Reject call, still leaves voicemail

    Hi, I have a Galaxy S5 and keep receiving calls from unknown numbers which I'd like to block. After adding them to the "reject list", the phone no longer rings, but the user is apparently still able to leave a voicemail. How do I disable this ability as well? How can I reject a "RESTRICTED"...

    App to track toddler's funny comments

    Hi, I have a Galaxy S5. My daughter is now three, and quite talkative. I'd like an app that I can quickly jot down her funny and precious comments so I can refer to them later. Of course I could use some notepad app, but I thought there was something written that specifically does such a...

    Hard-shell cover for Tab 4 8in and 10in

    Hi, I'm considering a Tab 4 either 8in or 10in for my 2yo toddler and need a hard-shell case to keep her from breaking it when it's dropped. Do you have any suggestions? I've seen various Otterbox cases, but they won't protect the screen from cracking when/if it's ever accidentally stepped on...

    Permanently disabling running applications?

    Hi, I have a Samsung Epic and have installed a few applications that I use periodically, but don't need to be running all the time. Is there a general procedure for disabling these applications from running, so as to not consume the battery, without uninstalling them completely? More...
