    I have previously used One Punch Notes for notetaking but had to factory reset my phone recently and it is no longer available. i can download the APK version but this isn't the Pro version and doesn't seem to have checkboxes, which I used almost daily. So now I'm looking for an alternative app...

    Help My phone keeps asking me to setup Unlock with "OK Google" even though I've set it up.

    My phone keeps asking me to setup Unlock with "OK Google" even though I've set it up. The first time I was prompted I clicked into it, confirmed with "Yes I'm in", confirmed my pattern and then I found that it was set to "Always On" with "Trusted Voice" set. I have a Nexus 6P running Android...

    Help Google Search times out

    I don't have the google search bar on my home page and use a long-press on the home key to bring it up. Lately, I've been noticing that when I do a google search by long-pressing the home key, it times out after 10 seconds (exactly - I timed it), and leaves me with a blank google task bar. The...

    nexus 9 cases

    I'm planning to get a Nexus 9 and the original case looks nice but has its limitations. There are many cases on Amazon right now that appear to be highly reduced in price. But never having owned a tablet and not being able to check out the actual case, I can't tell the difference between them...

    My work has an outlook exchange system and I have added my email (corporate) account onto my phone. I have never had contacts on this account synced and just checked to ensure this. Yet my corporate contacts seem to show on my phone in my contacts, even the 'Suggested Contacts' Has anybody...

    cracks around outside of s3

    I've heard a lot about cracks on the S3 - near the headphone jack, and near the outside but nothing like this. My son's Galaxy S3 has the usual crack on the side, but one day he picked it up and found that the whole screen had cracked around the edge. The reseller (Kogan, yes I know -...

    my phone keeps cutting out during calls

    Hi guys, My phone keeps cutting out during calls. I normally get to a minute or so before it cuts out. I can't think of any new software that could cause this, other than the following: I use Contacts+ for contacts, but when making a call I'm just seeing the stock dialer app. I did...

    App allowing display of selected google contacts groups

    I notice that the stock Android 'People' app allows you to select which groups (in Google contacts) to display. Unfortunately, my (otherwise) preferred contacts app, Go Contacts, doesn't allow this functionality. Does anybody know any other good contacts apps that have this option. Cheers.

    airplane mode turns on automatically

    I have a Galaxy Nexus and I notice sometimes in the morning that airplane mode is turned on. On one occasion, I was browsing the web and it turned on at 10:30pm. I did have some battery saver apps that could have done this in the past but have uninstalled anything like that. So there is no...

    Handcent notifications keep popping up

    I love the features of Handcent but there is one thing that keeps annoying me. SMSs pop up repeatedly sometimes even if I have viewed and closed them. Some seem to pop up several times over a day. Sometimes I get a second SMS (from the same person or somebody else) and the old one still shows...

    shortcuts with swiftkey

    I've just switched from slideIT to SwiftKey and overall am happier as it is quicker to use. But there is one thing that annoys me. SlideIT had its own list of shortcuts which were very handy. The standard android os has keyboard shortcuts also which are just as handy to use (they are set up...

    App purely for listening to podcasts

    I'm looking for an app for listening to long music files or spoken messages (20-40 minutes or so). I have tried Podcasting apps but they are always all about subscribing to podcasts. I just want to listen to messages that I've copied to my phone, but I want to be able to stop at a certain...

    Handcent popup keeps coming back

    I have a small problem with Handcent popups. When I get a popup that I don't need to respond to, I read it and close it again. But the popup tends to come back after 5 minutes. I would have thought that closing it indicates that I've read it and that should be the end of the notifications...

    I've just upgraded to Business Calendar Pro (from the free version). I've configured it to link to two calendars - google calendars and my work Exchange. Previously, I was getting notifications via Exchange for my events, but now I get two - the previous one and a new one that must be from...

    Linkedin contacts show in contacts

    My Linkedin contacts keep showing up in my phone even though I have ensured that in my account settings my linkedin contacts are not synced. I can delete them - I get a warning, "You can't delete contacts from read-only accounts, but you can hide them in your contacts list". I delete the user...

    temporary portable wifi hotspot

    Is there any app that will enable me to turn on portable wifi hotspot for a set period of time, avoiding the issue of forgetting to turn it off after a session (like those apps that turn your phone onto silent mode for a set period)?

    No notifications

    I've installed Handcent and since I disabled standard message notification, I have not been getting notifications (no sound, vibration or icon on notification bar) on sms. I think this is also affecting other notifications such as ebay (but I haven't expected too many so I can't be sure). I...

    My contact shows as a different number

    My contact (the one showing as 'Me') in contacts has my home number not my mobile number. So when I see messages, it shows messages from me as coming from an unknown number. Does anybody know where this number comes from (I must have put it in somewhere), and how do I change it?

    volume when making calls

    I've noticed that when I use the regular 0-9 buttons to make a phone call (i.e., not to somebody in my contacts), the touchpad makes a lot of noise. It seems to me that this volume is not separately controlled and is matched to the noise of my ringer. Is there any way to adjust this? I don't...

    Help Where are advanced settings

    I have been advised on a couple of occasions to set 'Enable Plug-ins' to on-demand rather than always on. I have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with ICS. I cannot find this option in Settings. I was told that it is in advanced settings, but I can't see advanced settings in the settings. Any ideas?
