    Converted music style.

    I like Pulsar on Android to listen to my own mp3 collection, it's compatible with Android Auto so I can use it in the car too. VLC is good to have around on your phone as well, for codecs that Pulsar may not know.

    What's the weather like where you are?

    cool damp 60° due to heavy marine layer fog all along the southern CA coast, with a 5.2R earthquake northeast of San Diego to boot

    Transferring files from Android phone to PC?

    apparently his phone USB circuits are toast, so it cannot recharge batteries, thus he bought a few extra batteries, and likely would be unable to pass data via USB

    Galaxy S24 Series

    I've been running cheap for the past couple years and just couldn't convince myself each time a new version was introduced that it was dramatically different, though there are truly capabilities that would have justified it. My wife and I both have same phones, bought at same time, and she's...

    Galaxy S24 Series

    This is encouraging news about satellite texting functionality, it's worth it for me to wait for S25 to upgrade from my venerable S10+; she's been a faithful companion for over 5 years and continues to be a perfectly good device, but I fear the sunset of support is overtaking me now.

    Transferring files from Android phone to PC?

    I may have posted this for you previously, perhaps on another thread: for the most reliable and consistent data transfer from your Huawei phone to a PC, I highly suggest Droid Over Wifi app from the Google store. Running that app makes your phone folders available to the PC by having you open...

    Serious Power Help Needed: Does Bluetooth or WiFi Internet use more battery power?

    you need to consider and weigh out the power consumption issue with regard to speed; how much less power consumption do you think BT uses versus wifi? if BT speed of transfer is an order of magnitude (or larger) slower than wifi, then total power consumption will be excessive because you're...

    Serious Power Help Needed: Does Bluetooth or WiFi Internet use more battery power?

    I would say, from my own experience, that wifi is faster than BT. I have sometimes used an app named Droid Over Wifi that lets me set up the phone as a file server, and use a web browser to login from a PC (or even another phone) to the phone using a onetime code the app generates each time you...

    Suddenly disconnected from Internet

    ah, as I had presumed, it was a back office outage - details of which will never be divulged to the customer, except that "we had a problem and we fixed it" so be happy... I worked in telecomm 25 years, and this was the standard position all the companies I worked for assumed when handling...

    FRG83D Just Installed

    I have not been following the forum for a few weeks so I was caught unaware 10 minutes ago (10:10pm PST) when a system update delivered FRG83D to my Droid. Does anyone have an idea what is in this release? I saw something about GMail and Exchange fixes on the little blurb dialog box, but haven't...
