need a tutorial on how to use google swith?

first off I am old school so have never tried getting info from any phone to a new one. I currently have a google nexus 6p and am going to the new pixel 4. I understand the pixel 4 comes with an item called a switch so my first question using that can I choose what to copy from nexus 6p to pixel 4?
I really don't want to copy or sync all from the nexus 6p what I only want is my contacts and photos.

now the nexus 6p does sync some items and I think I backed up last week and only synced the contacts and photos so would setting pixel as a new phone first and then log into google and let it add the backup I made or is this a bad idea ?
Thanks for any help on this

What is this app icon?

Hey,
I don’t use android so I’m not familiar with it. Maybe this is kinda weird but my bf sent me a screenshot yesterday and I noticed some weird heart shaped app icon. I asked him if its a dating app but he just said he doesnt know what it is.. that made me uncomfortable so I just thought i‘d ask here. Maybe someone knows what it is. I couldn’t find the app in the iPhone appstore so yeah..
Thanks for the help!

Help app error when accessing microSD files

Hi! I use a 64GB microSD as an expanded storage on my LG Stylo 4. Following the notification on the phone, I formatted the SD card to "portable storage". However, when apps tried to open microSD files, I got error messages such as "file is damaged" or " file is empty". But if I copy the same file to the internal drive, the apps can open all the fils just fine. Is there a way to fix the problem? Thank you!

Deciphering Samsung Tablets names

I'm new to the Samsung Tablet world, trying to choose the tablet that would best meet my needs (probably a used one, due to cost)... The list of tablets in the forum shows several categories of tablet names:
Tab, Tab+letter, Tab+number, Tab+letter+number, Note...
Please tell me if there are congruent hardware features that group these? First of all, what is the main differences between the Tab and the Note?
and among the Tab categories?

Also, it would be wonderful to see a combined list, with dates of production, of all Samsung tablet-type devices? It would be really helpful, showing at a glance if a Tab A is newer than a Tab 4 or a Note 7, etc...
This would be a very useful reference !
Thank you

Need a app and call blocker for specific...

I work at a theraputic community and we have a small fleet of vehicles and the drivers will be using android phones to communicate with the main house, where to go, who to pick up, etc...
I really need a way to "lock" the phone so that it can only make certain calls and recieve only certain calls, also would like to track the phones mobile locations via the gps. I found an app that looked as if it would work, only allowing what we decided they could use but I cannot find the info on it again. It was $50 or around there for 5-6 licenses a year etc...
We cannot afford much so that could be an issue but this one was fine and seemed to do everything we needed, I beleive the name started with an M or the like.
I am sorry I have not much more info but really need to find a program like this ASAP, again, we would like to block just about everything but certain calls outgoing and incoming and still be able to track them via gps.
Please help and thank you,

Uhhhhh

So earlier my tablet just keep shutting down i ignored it went on my way. Then later on it just keeps shutting down then showing the home screen (without the ui), i fixed it by plugging it on a power source
then pressing down the power button. Should I be concerned? Do you know what happened and will it happen again?

Keyboard Won't Stay Chosen

Hi All!
I have a ZTE Maven with Android 5.1 on AT&T.
I picked a keyboard form the Play Store & set it as the keyboard to use. (Settings - Language & inputs)

After I re-start the phone, the keyboard being used goes back to the stock keyboard. I can re-choose the new keyboard, but another re-boot sends the stock keyboard back as the one being used. Every Time!

Thinking it may be a glitch to that particular keyboard app., I tried several keyboards. They all do the same thing.

Do you know of a setting I may have to change to let the selected keyboard remain as the default?

Thanks For Helping!

Looking For Suggestions: Calendar App With Snooze Button

Hi All!
I'm looking for either a calendar with adjustable snooze or an add-on app for the Google calendar. I was wondering if any of you know of a good one.

The Story-
I used to have Calendar Notifications Plus by Sergey Parshin on my Android 5.1 phone.
That app would show a notification when the Google Calendar event triggered. i could swipe down and pick a time to snooze from a list I could make. For example- I had 5 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours.

Due to a crash, I had to reset the phone & re-install the apps.
Sadly, the app is no longer available. I tried using a legacy version from archive org. It did not work.

My biggest desire is to have adjustable snooze times. I searched all I could find on the Play Store and came up empty.

Do any of you have a recommendation for one you have used and liked? A replacement calendar would be OK if it syncs with Google calendar.

Thanks For Your Suggestions!
Paul

Clearing Cache Partition only Temporarily fixes Battery Drain

Hi

New to the forum. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or ideas.

I've got a Moto E4 running android 7.1.1 (latest software update in France). No problems at all until just recently. Battery draining at about double normal rate for no apparent reason. When I go into battery usage details the categories (Screen, wifi, google play services) only add up to about 12% total yet the drain is 70% total. Don't know if that's relevant or not.

So I cleared the cache partition and problem seems to be fixed. Then 2 or 3 days later, high drain rate again. Cleared cache partition again and for 1-3 days no problem, now drain back again. No new apps downloaded recently. No unusual usage. Most apps have sync permissions turned off.

Has anyone any ideas or suggestions other than factory reset which I'd really rather avoid if at all possible?

Thanks very much

Help Samsung J Max touch issue

It's all about my friend's Samsung J Max device. The device is completely fine but cannot input the commands by touching the screen. According to the technician's advises, it costs a bit a lot to repair it. I need to know, is there a way to operate the device via another phone to only get the stuff inside it? As the Media transfer option cannot be selected, no option to use PC..Any advanced technical advice? Actually, no addition backup has been used, unfortunately. Wet in rain was the problem for the issue
