    Upgraded phone not seeing photos

    I recently upgraded from an old Pixel to a Pixel 8 Pro. The process went smoothly but I've run into an issue. When I view the pictures on the phone by using the Photos app, I see all of the pictures that got migrated from my old phone as well as the pictures I've taken with the new phone...

    Transferring browser tabs

    I have a new Pixel to replace my old Pixel. All has gone well except for transferring the open tabs in Edge and Chrome. All of my lookup so far suggests that as along as I'm signed into the same account in the browsers and have sync enabled and tabs selected, then they will sync. Unfortunately...

    Outlook for Android archive folder

    In Outlook for Android there is an Archive folder. The folder is specific to the phone app as it doesn't exist in Outlook online or Outlook on a PC desktop. I don't use this Archive folder and so I was surprised when I looked in it and found a lot of emails in it. I recognized them as being...

    Change by Android 12

    There's one thing that Android 12 removed on my Pixel and I'm not exactly happy about it. I enjoyed the "sunrise" feature of Bedtime Mode which gradually lightened the screen to simulate a sunrise rather than being treated to a dark room when the alarm goes off. Is there any possible way this...

    Voice typing

    I recently upgraded to Android 12 on my Pixel 3A XL and all is working good except now when I try to use voice to enter text messages, I tap the microphone icon and it very briefly enters into the mode where you can speak to create message but then right away stops and displays "Tap to speak". I...

    My wife has an Essential phone which we're getting ready to upgrade. We're with Sprint so of course getting a T-Mobile phone.

    Pixel turns off without warning

    For the last few months my Pixel (gen 1) has started arbitrarily turning off anytime the power level gets about 50% or less. It doesn't to the "powering off" like when you choose to turn it off. It just turns off. You have to plug it in before it will turn back on. Needless to say this is very...

    Transfer text messages to PC for review

    Is there any free software available to install on a PC so a Samsung S8 can be connected to the PC and all text messages copied to the PC so they are in readable format? I've found programs that will do SMS backup but the backup is in a format on the PC that doesn't allow viewing. I need to be...

    Accessing data when screen doesn't work

    I dropped my Nexus 5 and now the screen doesn't work. It's not broken or cracked but there's no display and it doesn't respond to touch. The phone itself works as it signals when email comes in (via wifi) and alarms I had set go off. I was told at the store that the connection betwee I have...

    Help 4.3 update failed - what to do?

    3 of us in the family have Sprint Galaxy Nexus phones, all stock, none rooted. The other two got their update to 4.3 without a problem. My phone got the notice of the update the same day and I told it to do it. It restarted as expected during the process. When it came back up, nothing had...

    Help Wallpaper size

    I'm trying to figure out what size the picture needs to be to correctly fit as wallpaper. I've looked online and thought I found what the size should be but then I tried a jpg that is 810x1160 and I was only able to fit less than 1/2 on the screen since the cropper only let me use that much...

    Lock screen wallpaper

    On my Galaxy Nexus I'm wondering if I can set a different wallpaper for the lock screen as compared to the unlocked wallpaper. I don't see anything in the settings for doing that and I'm not sure if I have any software installed that might allow that. How can this be done? JL

    Help Apps draining battery

    Since I got my Nexus from Sprint at Christmas, there have been a few times where the Google Play Store was using a lot of battery. I found that it could be stopped by powering down and back up. This morning I got the update to 4.2.1 and since then I've noticed that the battery usage (in...

    Contact mapping app

    My brother-in-law has an app on his iPhone that will look through his contacts and then display a map (range of map set by the user) showing where the contacts addresses are relative to his location. He uses it a lot for his business. This seems like a very useful app and I was wondering if...

    Default ringer location

    Does anyone know where the location is for the ringers that come installed on a Galaxy Nexus? I use OI File Manager so I can view pretty much anywhere I want on the phone. I found them on my old HTC Hero, but I haven't located them yet on my new GNexus. I'm assuming their fomat is such that...

    Anyone know of the schedule for the 4.2 upgrade? I just got a Galaxy Nexus from Sprint and it has 4.1.1 on it. I'm happy with t as-is, but I was just wondering if there is any sort of timetable for this sort of thing. My last phone ran 2.1 and that's all it could run unless rooted which I didn't...

    Help Time/weather widget

    I just bought a Sprint Galaxy Nexus. I like it though there are adjustments from using an HTC Hero. One thing I wish I still had on the Nexus is the stock HTC time/weather gadget. Is there any look-alike out there for non-HTC phones? I really like its looks and its functionality. I liked...
