    Help Reminder to move?

    When I had a Fitbit, it could be set to remind me to move if I hadn't done a certain amount of steps within a specified time period. Can my smartwatch combined with Google Fit do this? Or another app?

    How to attach adhesive mount to phone

    I have bought a mount system to attach my phone to my bicycle. The mount sticks to the back of the phone or its case. However the instructions state it must be applied to a hard, rigid surface.

    Hot and locked

    My phone has, several times now, frozen while charging. It gets hot and the icons disappear so that I am just seeing the wallpaper. It won't turn off no matter how long I hold down the power button. I have to wait until it goes flat (which it does fairly quickly) then recharge and restart it...

    Help Screen shape

    The longer/wider screen is deforming some of my apps. It's like watching 4:3 TV on a 16:9 screen. Is it possible to have the status bar and notification panel always visible? In order to make the remaining visible screen area nraref the shape I am used to.

    I have just started using Google Pay on my Fossil smartwatch, running Wear OS. Purchases I have made using this method aren't showing in my account history. Why would this be? Do I need to change a setting?

    Problem assigning different notification sound to different apps.

    As Wunderlist is ending, I am trialling any.do. I want to assign a notification sound to this app. On my Samsung tablet, if I go to the 'notification sound' section in any.do settings, I get a choice of tones. However, on my Sony phone, the same menu 'notification sound' section only offers...

    Considering Android laptop

    My Windows laptop is ageing and I am starting to consider what to replace it with. My main gripe with Windows is the amount of time it takes to start up. As I have Android phone and a 8" tablet, it seems logical to consider an Android device. A convertible appeals, but what should I consider...

    Google calendar isn't notifying me of any appointments. The problem is with both my Samsung J5 phone and my Samsung tablet. I have reset all my apps ( in case I had disabled something I shouldn't have). I have set the calendar app to not be switched off by the power monitor. What else should I...

    Small smartphone

    Smartphones keep getting bigger, but I've got dainty paws and I keep dropping mine. For me, my old HTC Desire was the perfect size. Nowadays I have a tablet that I use more than the phone. Is there a smaller smartphone still available, but with more memory than older models?

    Background data setting

    Apps that aren't currently running aren't checking for new data. For example, unless Gmail is open I don't get notifications of new mail. On my phone there is a setting to restrict/unrestrict background data, but I can't find this on my tablet. I'm sure it's just a matter of a tick in a box -...
