    Twicca "activity not found" message

    I've used Twicca as my primary Twitter client on several Android phones and tablets. It works fine usually and when I hit the OPEN IN YOUR BROWSER option it offers me a choice of using PLUME or CHROME for that. My latest tablet is an Asus Zenpad Z8. Twicca installed properly on it but...

    why can't phone recognize microSD card?

    Recently upgraded from LG Volt 2 to a Galaxy J7 perx (and what does that perx stand for anyway?). So today I removed the 4GB Sandisk microSD card from the LG phone and put it into the Samsung one. I am almost certain that I followed directions properly and put it in the right place, snapped...

    Textnow app drains cellphone battery but not tablet's

    I have been using the Textnow app on both my LG cellphone (Volt 2) and on my LG tablet (G Pad 8.3). On the tablet this app does not drain the battery at all, in fact, last time I checked it was reported as using <1% of the battery. On the Volt 2 phone it has been reported as high as 21%. The...

    I have an LG phone (Volt 2) and an LG Tablet (G Pad 8.3). I use K9 mail for my gmail and pop accounts on both devices. I have no problem at all sending mail from phone but constantly get a "mail not sent" or "cannot connect to server" on the tablet. I have checked over and over that the...

    Help can't uninstall Dynamic Notifications

    On my LG G Pad 8.3 I have tried many notification apps only to be disappointed that they weren't doing what I'd like them to. This morning I tried Dynamic Notifications. After a few trials I determined it also was lacking so went to do an uninstall. It just won't uninstall. In the PLAY STORE...

    calls go straight to voice mail without ringing

    Long time VM customer here. I have the LG Volt 2 phone while my wife had the original LG Volt. Last week we started noticing that calls to her phone when she was here at home were going straight to voice mail. Figuring that her phone was pretty old I bought and activated for her a Samsung...

    Complete action using

    I have an LG tablet and an LG cell phone. The tablet has Android version 5.0.2 and the phone has version 5.1.1. An app I use frequently is the Twitter client called Twicca. Often I want to share a tweet and hit the "share this tweet" button in the app. This brings up a screen entitled...

    Tune In app stops very frequently now

    For a number of months I have used my Tune-In Radio app to listen to a particular radio show on my 20 minute commute home from work. I set it up and via Bluetooth the sound comes out of my car speakers. Once in a while the program would stop playing, not necessarily a buffering issue, but I...

    change default "share with"

    I frequently use Twicca on my LG tablet (android 5.0.1). Sometimes I like to share tweets to Pocket and sometimes I like to share by email to friends and relatives. Recently when I hold down on a tweet by default it saves it to Pocket but I am not given the option to share to Gmail etc. as I...

    is there an app or widget that does this?

    On my LG Pad 8.3, like with other Android devices, it is necessary to swipe down from the top to view the notification screen. Is there an app or widget which I can put on my home screen that when pushed will take me to the notification screen?

    what does this notification icon mean?

    A few days ago a notification icon came on just to the right of the wifi signal. It's a red x on what looks like a white document page. The G Pad manual lists some common notification icons but does not show this one. Does anyone recognize it and know what it is supposed to be telling me? Thanks.

    can Puffin open local file?

    Like many (most?) of you I have tried numerous browsers. Always looking for speed, efficiency etc. And clearly none of them is best at everything. Just installed Puffin browser and like several things about it but there is a local htm file I call Bookmarks2 which I can open using UC or Opera...

    recommend a successor to Galaxy Tab 2

    I received a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7" screen) from one of my sons three years ago as a birthday gift. It's really been good and I've enjoyed having it. But now it's acting a bit long in the tooth and I find it less responsive than it used to be. Three years in the electronics world can be a...

    Help K-9 mail - keeps checking Gmail

    Lately I find that the rotating circle notification won't stop. It apparently is K-9 checking for new Gmail. The only way I can stop the notification is to Force Stop the K-9 app. Is this a common problem and is there a fix for it?

    any decent WYSIWYG html editors?

    Hi, In years past I have taken my Netbook laptop on vacation trips partly to be able to continue to edit a few websites I maintain. Here at home I use Kompozer as my web editor. I am planning a trip in May but wonder whether I could get away with just taking my Samsung Tab 2 tablet instead of...

    is there an app that can do this?

    I visit the gym 3 or 4 times per week and have my headphones on while listening to Pandora or songs on my phone (it's an LG Volt). When an email or text comes in I get the sound notification and I am always curious to know whether it's important or not. Of course, most of the time it is not...

    can K9 mail be prevented from opening attachments?

    When I receive attachments like Excel .xls files I usually would like to just save them and view/work with them later. But the options K-9 mail gives you are OPEN or SAVE. Whenever I click SAVE the files immediately are opened for me. Is there somewhere in settings that would allow me to...

    With Heywire gone is there an alternative?

    Looks like Heywire, a terrific app for free texting using wifi, is no longer available in the Google Play Store. Does anyone know of a comparable app that will allow for free texting over wifi? The loss of Heywire saddens me. Have used it for years with little to no problems.

    file manager with good find and move functions

    There are a lot of File Managers at the Google Play store and I have tried a lot of them. While I don't use that kind of app often when I do it's usually to move some file that I have received as an attachment to some other folder. I am hoping someone can point me to a file manager program that...

    Help question about Heywire web app

    I have used Heywire both on my tablet and cell phone for several years. Really good app. Recently started using it on my PC since obviously I can type faster on it than on the handheld devices. The Messages column has the name of four of the five people I text with most often and the heading...

    UC Browser - can I change email share message?

    I have been using the UC Browser recently on my cellphone and tablet. Overall it is very good. I find it annoying that when I go to share a link with someone it puts this into the message: I am browsing [Here it says the name of the website] Have a look at it! and then it adds the link. I...

    Acuweather widget won't install

    For many months I have used the Acuweather clock/weather widget on the home screen of both my phone (LG Volt) and tablet (Samsung tab 2 7"). A few days ago I noticed that it was not updating the weather on the phone. I removed it from the screen and turned off the phone. After rebooting the...

    Is this problem with Twicca, SportSpyder, or device?

    I often check Twitter using Twicca. I do this on my LG Volt or my Samsung Tab 2 (7"). Many of the sports links take you first to SportSpyder. Then you must press on the article and it takes you to the blog or whatever where the article is posted. Almost invariably it takes five to a dozen...

    my only issue with AIM app

    I occasionally log into AIM (AOL's Internet Messenger) from my LG Volt or Samsung Tab 2. I think the AIM app is reasonable and adequate. But when I am logged in I would much prefer that a notification icon show up in the notification bar. This way I'd be less likely to forget that I'm logged...

    TWICCA - "Sorry there is a technical problem"

    My preferred Twitter client for several years has been Twicca. I've never had a problem "tweeting" using it until this week. For the past few days I've composed some tweets and when I hit the Tweet or Reply button I immediately get the message: Sorry there is a technical problem. I have...
