A simple filter system, you check general screen size, battery size, sd card able, etc, other features, and it gives you a list of phones that meet your desires?

Help me turn my aunt's TV and Android box thingy into a true Smart TV

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 01:43 PM PST

Happy New year everyone!

I'm a little lost. My aunt was looking into upgrading her TV when some friend recommended buying a media box. My best guess is this thing is supposed to work like a Roku, but on the cheap, and now she's stuck with it.

All I can get from the box is it's branded as "SPC Smartee", nothing else. It runs on Android 4.2.2, outputs in HDMI, and is controlled by the most exasperating remote I've ever seen.

I found the maker googling about, they have very little information and their customer service is non-existent.

The device has its own GUI, which works ok. However, any app installed thinks it's a phone, or tablet, and controlling them with the remote is a complete nightmare, if possible at all in some cases. I.e.: anything that involves scrolling or quick tapping.

She's mainly interested in using it for Netflix and YouTube, and maybe for the odd podcast. I've tried using the remote features on these apps (Watch on TV), but these don't work from tablet to "tablet". I've tried different casting apps (Chromecast, Miracast), but the device isn't recognizable.

I'll post some pictures to give a better idea on what I'm dealing with. Here's the album

Is there a way to pair another Android to it, or control it in some way?

EDIT: Added the album. Also, I forgot the full name of the device.

LG just sent back my G4 claiming its liquid damaged and out of warranty...

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 07:47 AM PST

When it failed in warranty, was never dropped in any liquid and was boot looping (which is unheard of for LG right?) Anyone have advice on how to deal with them?

Edit: Called my carrier (T-Mobile) and politely explained how unacceptable this is. They agreed and offered me a replacement phone, they werent sure what would ship but it would be a current generation smart phone.

So, yaaaay T-Mobile!

Computer showing mobile versions of websites when tethering to LG V10

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 08:21 AM PST

For some reason when I use my LG V10 with FoxFi USB tethering, websites are loading as the mobile version instead of the desktop version. I'm using Chrome on a Windows 10 laptop. I've used FoxFi on several other phones (Nexus 5, LG G4, Zenfone 2) and have never had this issue before. Any ideas?

Setting tablet as an eReader

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 03:46 PM PST

I've recently purchased a tablet (Galaxy tab A 7) primarily to replace a super old kindle. In the past I've used the website www.kinstant.com on my kindle to strip down websites for article-like viewing. Through my kindle I was able to adjust font size, spacing,etc... immediately.

For my new tablet the transcoding results in a font size too small that cannot be adjusted using Chrome or Firefox (even through changing accesibility settings). Additionally after transcoding, my browsers do not detect the page as an article, thus cannot be enabled. If I go to the website directly, article mode can be enabled but this usually requires the Web page to fully load and then reloaded as an article - costing quite a bit of time. Are there any other alternatives to this approach?

Additionally I have twilight as a blue light filter and an ebook reader app that I like. I'd like to know if you have any other recommendations for setting my tablet up.

Thanks for your help

Blocking texts based on certain keywords

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 03:39 PM PST

The new year just came around and like always my phone gets nuked by tons of "happy new year" messages. Not wanting to go trough them all to get them flagged as read I'm wondering if there is any way to block them getting displayed to start with en masse. This could also come in handy for my birthday. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

How to unlock phone with broken screen to recover internal storage?

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 03:38 PM PST

I have a Note 4 with a completely black screen. Doesn't respond to touches, but the physical buttons work and the LED notification light works.

I'm trying to get the photos and other files off the internal storage, but when I connect it to my computer I can't access the files (pic). I'm assuming this is because the device is locked.

Is there a way for me to remotely unlock the device and access the files? I'm a little desperate because I have some valuable photos on there that I thought I had backed up, but I don't :/ Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way to set a specific google account as the account for app purchases?

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 08:51 AM PST

I have to buy an App I used for a while and I want to do that. My problem is that I can't choose the google account I want to use for the payment. I'm able to choose the method of payment but not the correct google account. Is there an option which allows me to determine which account I want to use for all future App purchases? (I can't flair this post as "Unanswered" for some reason.)

Are these bad signs for my phone?

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 05:04 AM PST

So recently my HTC M8 has been running slower then normal. Yesterday I was using it on the Reddit app and all of the sudden it froze and restarted. But when the boot screen came up it went into a boot loop.

anyone else using Screenwise Meter and seeing awful battery drain?

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 05:58 AM PST

It seems like it's only gotten worse since I joined the program a couple years ago. Now, when my Moto G Play running Marshmallow just sits overnight, the app drains 30%+ of the battery. It also seems to be always running and taking up 300mb RAM.

has anyone else figured out a way to help deal with this? I don't really want to leave the program and uninstall the app, as the rewards are pretty sweet...

Erasing phone data without factory reset

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 01:27 PM PST

Hi I am giving my phone to my girlfriend (Samsung s5). I want to do a complete wipe, but I don't want to lose my APN data because it was a pain to set up, so I'd prefer not to do a factory reset.

I was goin to

  • uninstall all my apps that I downloaded
  • Switch the microsd card
  • Delete all my messages
  • Uninstall chrome and clear it's settings
  • Remove all my accounts, especially googles and install hers Gmail account
  • switch out the sim card
  • us es explorer to look for any leftover files, pics or audio etc

I don't want anything from my phone leftover for her to snoop on. She's not techie tho, so I mean I don't want her to reinstall WhatsApp and see all my contacts. Passwords or pics or things like that. Do you think this would work? Is there a better way? It took me a couple days of experimenting to get my apns working on this unlocked phone so I'm hoping not to have to do that again

Replacement Android Voice Assistant for Macular Degeneration??

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 07:10 AM PST

Currently my dad has macular degeneration, and he can no longer see his Galaxy Note 3. Is there anyway of overriding S-voice and installing Alexa(it's already rooted)?? (X-post r/amazonecho) *The rest is for android questions. Is there a better voice assistant software, he can't see his phone and something new isn't very easy for him? I know I could install Cyanogen Mod which has Cortana but will she read the news, and not refer him to read the rest on the display?? Or would Google Assistant be better??

Error: The item you requested is not available for purchase

I'm trying to purchase filters from this app called phhhoto and it's been giving me this error. I've purchased 2 filters before back in my home country, and in Italy where I'm on vacation right now, but ever since the those 2 purchases, I have been getting this error. When I tried googling, most of the results were people trying to make their own app (i think?), which I really don't understand. Any help? I'm on Samsung S5 6.0.1

New Samsung Galaxy S7 Help

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 12:07 PM PST

While setting up my new phone I got this option. However I was wondering if it's possible to skip this step and do it later. As I'd like to set up my phone fingerprints etc. And then backup my stuff from my old phone.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: not sure how to upload a picture but the option was to backup apps and data from my previous phone.

Need some advice

Posted: 31 Dec 2016 03:19 AM PST

Hi all...

Recently, I bought a Moto Z Play and it is excellent! Seeing me, a family member now wants to get an Android phone. The question is which one? We are pretty much a Windows-centric family in that we extensively use Surface devices, the MS ecosystem and (till now) Windows phones (my secondary phone now is my 950XL while for the family member in question, her phones are the 640XL and the 830).

Her budget is INR 25,000 (or US$ 365 approx.). What are her options? Her priorities are : (1) Good battery life (2) smooth performance (3) Dual SIM (4) Independent mSD card - not a hybrid option and (5) min 32GB internal storage. She would expect to use the phone for about 18 months.

I would recommend the MZP, but I am loathed to suggest it as I use it and it would get confusing and boring (:>)).

If all fails then yes, the MZP would suit her perfectly though I suspect it may be a bit heavy for her.

What would you folks recommend? And, she will be buying it in India. Thanks in advance for you help.
