    Secure Random Quiz app with fill in the blank and random pop-ups on phone to quiz me?

    Well, I just thought of a cooler way of doing it. I just installed a Python IDE on my android phone. I can write my own python script to do this I guess.

    Secure Random Quiz app with fill in the blank and random pop-ups on phone to quiz me?

    problem with this idea is a kid's spelling test app doesn't account for upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols. they only present you with lower case letters to type.

    Secure Random Quiz app with fill in the blank and random pop-ups on phone to quiz me?

    I'm thinking i could do it with squeebles. This is an app where I create spelling tests for my 3rd grader. I record myself saying a word and she has to spell it right. I could put in there a password of mine and quiz myself on getting it right. Kind of a weird way to do this.

    Secure Random Quiz app with fill in the blank and random pop-ups on phone to quiz me?

    Ok, here's the dilemma i'm in. I have a terrible memory and I work in IT. I'm supposed to have these super complicated passwords to access sensitive resources and be able to remember it. And, I'm required to change them every 90 days. I'm not supposed to be writing them down. I am using a...

    Alert if two android devices are separated?

    So, technology is a real issue in our house. Technology has led to a lot of issues with my kids where one of my kids ended up in the hospital twice due to stuff that started on social media. The kids now have pinwheel phones so they cannot get to any of that. But, my kids have broken into...

    Restrict apps from using 4G?

    So, my kids have Tracfones. I want them to have 4G when out and about only to make sure location services are working so I can see where they are. I care less if they can check their email or search up a cute cat video. They can do that at home or somewhere else on wifi. They only have a...

    Can't send emails and deleting emails doesn't sync to web

    Ok, it's really starting to drive me nuts. A few months ago, I upgraded from Android 11 to 12. Immediately after the update, my Gmail quit working. I get new emails, but if I delete anything on the app or web, it doesn't sync to the other one. If I send an email on the phone, it doesn't...

    Phone doesn't charge in car

    Ok, so we just got home from a 10 hour drive. I was driving a U-Haul. The truck had USB ports in it. I plugged into it. About an an hour or two into the trip I noticed the battery was about 50% full. (It was 100% when we left.). I then switched it to a cigarette lighter charger. It shows...

    Android backups not working

    I have a Pixel 5. I just noticed my backups have never backed up. The built in Google backup. I just tried turning off backup rebooting and re-enabling it. It still won't back up. I get a message "couldn't back up data. try again later." Any ideas?

    How do I sell my Note 10+?

    So, I haven't used the phone in years. It's just sat around. Figure I should sell it. But, I know often when someone else signs into an android device, it will prompt them to use an email address that has been previously used on the device and password. How do I stop that?

    Food finder app based on nutrition?

    Does anyone know of an app that I could use to search for foods or meals based on if I'm looking for more carbs and some fats or more fats and less protein or whatever? I'm trying to use my fitness pal for logging my food. I like the macro nutrition info. But, it it's dinner time and what I...

    IOS type launcher without being an IOS knockoff?

    Ok, I've used android for a long time. But, one thing I find really annoying is the duplication of icons. You have some on the desktop and then you have the app drawer. I want my phone to work like an iphone (without buying an iphone... I have way too much money invested in Google hardware...

    Bumper case for the pixel 5?

    So, I bought a morphie battery add on that charges the phone wirelessly. I had it connected to a case but it wasn't working well. Plus the phone overheats when recording video on a hot day which is annoying. So, I put the battery now right on the phone with no case. But it would be nice if I...
