    Can you run Android Auto app on a tablet instead of your phone?

    I have a Samsung Tab A7 running Android 13. I wanted to install Android Auto on it, but when I connected to the Android Play Store I could not find it. Apparently AA is pre-installed on Android OS version 10+ and not available as a separate app for those versions of Android OS. So it seems that...

    Samsung Tab A7 and Android Auto

    I have been thinking about upgrading from an iPhone 12 to a new Pixel Fold and one of the things I wanted to verify was that my car (2022 Jeep Wrangler) would work with Android Auto. I have an old (Android 10) Motorola G7) that I no longer use as a phone and I connected it to my Jeep and...

    Fingerprint login

    Or, more accurately, why is my phone no longer asking for my fingerprint? I have a Samsung S10+ running the latest OS (I am not sure what that is because I can't get into my phone). I used to keep my phone locked with a password but turned that off when it became too much trouble to enter each...

    Home screen panel location

    I recently made some Display Settings changes to my S10+ and found that now when I push the Home button (middle button at the bottom of the screen) the phone returns to a different panel than before. Before it returned to panel 1 where I had all of my main apps but after the settings changes it...

    Restoring an Android phone

    Does anyone make backup software that can restore a phone completely, similar to the way Acronis backs up Windows computers and Time Machine backs up Macs? I have an S10+ that will not talk to the info system on my vehicles properly. I keep getting "Device not responding" errors and I know the...

    Lock screen display

    We just returned from a trip and I noticed something that really puzzled me. We had traveled from Arizona to the Texas Gulf Coast (2 time zone changes) and when I picked up my S10+ in the morning I noticed a different time display. I have the lock display set up to display an analog type of...

    Help Do Not Disturb

    I typically set Do Not Disturb ON when my wife takes an afternoon nap so as to not disturb her if someone calls. I did this today and when someone called the phone rang (and woke her up). I thought Do Not Disturb would turn off the phone ringer. Is that wrong? And, if so, how do I silence...

    Smart Lock stops working

    I have a question about the Smart Lock functionality on my new S10 Plus. I know how to set it, and I know how to add a location to it, but the functionality only seems to last for the day that I set it, and sometimes not even for that long. That is, I open the Smart Lock link, add my home...

    Help File Transfer Mode - where is it?

    My new Samsung S10 Plus (Android 9 - 2 days old) seems to be in an odd state. I work on a Mac and used the Android File Transfer app to access memory on my old Samsung S7 edge, but the Android File Transfer app seems unable to find the new phone at all. I assume that the usb setting is in the...
