I love the feature that shows the time when I wave my hand over the screen when the phone is locked. Is there a way to increase the time the screen is on?

Fast charge has been out for several months. I've tried all the regular steps, but they don't help and my phone is out of warrantee. One suggestion I've read is to backup and do a factory reset. Before I go through that hassle, I wonder if anyone else has tried that and if it helps?

I tried to charge my Galaxy Note 4 with my car charger, but though it said it was connected, it didn't charge. I connected my tablet and it worked fine. Any suggestions? (I had previously posted this in another forum but received no replies so I am hoping it will fit better here.)

I have suddenly lost found on my earphones. the sound on the phone without the earphones works fine. I have tried another set of earphones and have the same problem. Could this be a setting or do I have a hardware problem?

My wife has a Revolution by LG Verizon phone. Recently, we have noticed that it doesn't ring until about halfway through the connection. First we hear a "Verizon greeting," then it vibrates, and finally it rings about three times. Since she often has the phone in the other room, she doesn't hear...

I've been having some slow down on my Droid X (two years old now) and wonder if moving some apps to the SD card could be a factor. I only recently moved them, but I can't remember if the speed issue occurred before or after. Would moving apps to the card slow anything? I have plenty of space...

I've tried a couple of tablets in the past (Kindle Fire and Asus Transformer) and haven't been satisfied. The Kindle's problem is obvious; it just wasn't designed for what I wanted. But the Asus looked like a winner to replace my laptop when it dies, except for problems with some web sites...

My wife has inherited my daughter's Droid. When she makes or receives a call and is ready to finish or needs to enter numbers for a response, the keypad doesn't automatically return when she takes the phone away from her face. She can pull down the call-in-progress icon from the notification...

My wife just inherited my daughter's Droid and is having problems accidentally pressing the down volume button and turning the phone to vibrate. Is there a way to make it harder to make this accidental press? Would using a cover recess the keys enough to help?

Sometimes, not always, when I try to access data over the 3G network, I discover that the "Data Enabled" setting is not checked. If I go under settings and check it, all works as it should. I can't figure out, though, what is turning it off. I suspect it is happening when I have WiFi enabled and...

Looking for headphones for my Droid X I can use to listen to music and audio books. I wonder which ones you would recommend?

Yesterday I tried to watch a couple of videos on my Droid X but they wouldn't play; they work fine on my MacBook. I also tried to download a PDF, but it wouldn't work; again it worked fine on the MacBook. I am considering a Transformer to replace most if not all of my computer work and am...

When docking my phone (Droid X under GingerBread) at night, I use a night clock program that shows the time in very dim light. All works great except I can't keep the blasted button lights turned off. I've tried a couple of suggestions I've come across -- turning on the main screen before...

I am seriously considering getting the Transformer as a replacement for my laptop. I no longer have the heavy computing needs I did as a teacher, so I think everything I need to do can pretty much be done with this tablet. Before I make a commitment, I wonder if you folks can help with some...

I have a contact that I just noticed is not appearing within the list of contacts (using "All Contacts" as the area) nor when I do a search. Yet the name appears in my phone list under contacts there and it pops up with the correct email when I type in the name in Gmail. Do I have a setting I...
