    App For Work: Only Let 1 Caller In, Autoreply to Messages

    I have a ZTE Grand X Max 2 on Cricket, Android 6 Marshmallow. I am trying to set something up to where (1) only calls from my wife or my child's school, those 2 only, will "buzz" my phone, no one else and (2) Facebook messages will receive an autoreply "I'm at work I will respond when I can"...

    Password Lock Homescreen Itself

    I would like the means to be able to lock the homescreen of a Samsung Galaxy S3, but NOT at the "lockscreen" level. The situation is that I have a mother-in-law who has a smartphone she can barely use, and as the unofficial "phone expert" of our family I have it set up a specific way, with Nova...

    What Happened to Dolphin Mini?

    I went to download Dolphin Mini browser, but it keeps showing Dolphin non-mini. I can't find Dolphin Mini anywhere. What happened to it? (I do have a year-old or so version of Dolphin Mini as an .apk file but of course you like to get the most up-to-date version.)

    Help Restore Menu Button Via Settings/Display/Gestures & Buttons

    I have Virgin Mobile and am considering the HTC Desire 816. However, I am trying to confirm if you can set the recent apps button to access the "hard" menu button function by long-pressing it. Other HTC Desire models can do this, however I'm not getting confirmation on this with respect to the...

    Google Maps, Why Are Addresses/Numbers Not Shown in List View?

    This question may be an old one which has already been addresses, but at any rate--my question is, when you do a search for points of interest either clicking a common one or by typing one out in search, and then a listing is produced (if you click "list view" or whatever), how come now the...

    Apex Launcher: No Labels for Icons Within Folders

    I've been using Apex Launcher for awhile. It's hard to believe, but only today did I start utilizing folders. I did so when I was making a lot of driving directions shortcuts (where you can just tap an icon on the homescreen & instantly get directions to a specific place) and wanted a way to...

    Have Tribute, Considering Volt

    I have the LG Tribute. It's done me fine, but at the time I got it, I was considering the Volt. I now am considering it again. Has anyone here gone from the Tribute to the Volt? If so, was it a pretty good upgrade for you? My thoughts--I tend to think I'd appreciate the larger screen. 4.8" may...

    How To Restore Apex Launcher Data After a Phone Wipe, Instructions

    This was initially a "HOW?" post, but upon figuring it out, I figured I'd make it an informational post, in case anyone has this problem as I did. That is--Apex Launcher, it's a wonderful launcher, but there is NOTHING ANYWHERE that I could find that tells you how to restore the data if...

    Former F3 User, Detailed Tribute Review After 1 Week

    Last Friday, exactly a week ago, I changed my F3, which I'd had since a week after the past Thanksgiving, over to the Tribute. I had pondered getting a Volt, but as I'm a cheapskate, I hadn't done so yet. I learned of the Tribute, and decided to go for it as a "compromise" of sorts. Since many...

    Dolphin Mini--Accessing Toolbox Without Menu Key

    I use Dolphin Browser Mini, as well as other browsers (Opera Mini, Boat Browser Mini, Next). I just got a new phone that doesn't have a menu key. With the other browsers, you have the status bar active at all times and this will enable you to access the menu settings. However, I see no such...

    eBay & TouchPal X Keyboard: What Are They Thinking?

    Moral of this story: make APK files of your apps and keep them, because the most updated version of an app sometimes is an awful dumbing down of the previous version. eBay--the version as of sometime after September 2014, it's awful. The "Description" button for seeing details of a particular...

    eBay App: Thumbnails Now Too Larger After Update

    I updated the eBay app on my LG F3 today, not sure how long this particular version has been the current one, but at any rate I updated. Afterwards, when viewing purchase history and the like, they now have the picture thumbnails so huge that you only see 3 or so items before having to scroll...

    Help Would an LG F90 Volt (VM) Compare to a Galaxy S3?

    If I am "over-posting," please forgive me, but that said--would this phone compare favorably to someone considering the Galaxy S3? I ask because I saw someone selling a Galaxy S3 last night for $100 and started to jump on it, but then remembered about the LG Volt. I don't require a lot of...

    Have Virgin Mobile LG F3, Considering Galaxy S3 or LG Volt (F90)

    A Virgin Mobile user with the LG Optimus F3, I have seen someone selling a Galaxy S3 for $100. I am considering it not so much for the goodies in terms of "bling," but just because I can't stand any sort of lag and my F3 sometimes is subject to it until I do a battery pull, at which point it...

    Need Fine Control Handwriting App & Stylus

    I need a handwriting app for quickly taking notes in situations where it takes too long typing it in. The trouble is, there's not enough fine control, I find I can only get about 1/5th as much info on my 4" screen phone as I could a similiar-sized piece of paper. I need to be able to get just as...

    Mapping App that Gives Good "Birds Eye" View Of Other Places While Navigating

    I am trying to utilize GPS in a way to where you can get a good "overview" or "bird's eye view" of what is going on, especially with respect to showing your starred favorites while you're navigating towards a given spot. What I like to do--enter certain places we may consider, have them show on...

    Widget/App For Expanding Notifications Area

    I have an LG Optimus F3. I don't like "dragging" the notifications area to "expand it," I like how Android 2.2 or 2.3 let you hit menu and select "notifications." With Android 4.x phones, I used Holo Launcher HD as a home screen launcher replacement and it had "launcher actions" you could add as...

    Help Google Play Kept Sticking Trying to Reset

    I am sure to attract some "OMG" type of posts, but anyway--I was wiping my LG F3 tonight and trying to set it up in a new way with a new launcher etc, and while trying to access Google Play, it kept sticking. Some 15 minutes later, it STILL was giving me the hourglass. I became impatient, and...

    Shift Work Schedule App Needed That Also Silences Phone

    I just got a job which involves shift work and would like an app where I can quickly enter my schedule into my smartphone. In the searching I've done here, what I've seen is "Quick Scheduler" (Quick Scheduler) and on my own I found "Shift Calender" by Little Fox Studio. The latter seems to work...

    Help Have Virgin Mobile F3, "A System Update Is Ready to Install": Questions

    I have a Virgin Mobile LG Optimus F3. Today I noticed it was prompting me with respect to a major system update, informing me of the need to have a full battery & use Wi-Fi because it's a large update, etc. In other words: "A system update is ready to install. Your Android device will...

    Google Maps: Can't Star a Spot Not Found By Address

    Is there something going on with Google Maps? Tonight, any location I found via "drag a pin" or my personal favorite, coordinates, you flat-out cannot "star" it, at all. It just won't let you do it. It also no longer will let you add a description in parenthesis to such a place. I know that...

    Work/Personal Profile Manger (Sync Some Emails, Not Others, Sounds Etc)

    I am looking a "profile manager" to let me quickly switch between work & personal work environments. Thing is, though, besides the obvious need of things like sounds, I also would like a quick way to tell it to not synchronize (or alert?) Facebook messages & general emails, but that it SHOULD...

    Help LS720ZV6 Update : Do I Want It? (Virgin Mobile)

    I have the LG F3 on Virgin Mobile. It has begun nagging me for the noted update. Do I want it? If not how do I get it to LEAVE ME ALONE for all-time? As far as I'm concerned the phone works great now and I'm content to not rock the boat.

    New Version of Google Maps: Description in Parenthesis Option Gone

    I have an LG Optimus F3. It has updated to the newer Google Maps (not sure the version number, doing this in December 2013). Since doing so, among other things I have noticed that starred favorites it imported that are based on coordinates no longer show the description in the parenthesis as...

    Considering LG F3 vs ZTE Awe, Any Issues?

    I had the ZTE Awe recently coming from a Kyocera Rise. I need a phone I can COUNT on, to wit: (1) No "lagging" with basic tasks (Kyocera Rise) (2) No flaky GPS (Reverb after Jellybean, Motorola Triumph), get a lock within 10 seconds of when I first ask for one, even with me leaving GPS off all...
