    LG Smartwatch and STEPS

    I like my LG Urbane 2 but the STEPS are confounding. I have two apps, LG and FIT. Both count steps and sync with phone. There is also a watch STEPS count, that doesn't seem to have an app. These steps show on my watch faces. NONE of the 3 versions of steps match each other, so it's very...

    Help Galaxy S3 battery depeleted too quickly

    I have noticed that my Galaxy S3 phone will go from 90% charge to ZERO (and shut off), between the time I go to bed and wake up in the morning. First, I use it mostly as a phone and TM device.

    Help Best Conversion iTunes to S3 (DRM Removal)?

    I'm wondering what the best way is to salvage my iTunes movies for use on S3. They won't play as is because of the DRM protection. I don't need to do this wirelessly. USB is fine. 1) Do these conversion programs require playing the entire movie and just make a capture? This will take forever...

    Help Should I be worried about apps stealing my personal information

    I have had my phone number for going on 30 years. I got it back when cell phones were still in canvas bags and McCaw was still selling phones. I think I'm the only person to ever have my phone number, it's that old. Anyway, in those 25-30 years, I doubt I have had more than 10 wrong numbers or...

    Internal SDCard

    There is an sdcard built into the Galaxy tab 2.1. I don't know if that is just its name or if it's an actual sd card. There is an extSDcard also. In any case does anyone know if it's possible to open the unit and swap the internal sd for a larger one?

    Where did TrustGo Security Come From

    I have an app that is an anti virus program. It's called TrustGo. I don't specifically recall installing it. It's one of the last programs to be installed, so I figured it must have hitchhiked on another install or some kind of upgrade. It looks like a popular app but I kind of distrust...
