    Rotating pictures on an Android 4.4.2 phone?

    I am making my first attempt to post a picture from my gallery to facebook. As I do it, the picture shows up sideways. I hate it when other people do this so I did not continue the post. I was able to find the rotate function in the gallery and did so. It shows up in my gallery as rotated...

    New Cell Phone?

    When you get a new cell phone is there a way to copy all the aps from your old phone to your new one? Seems like it would be pretty tedious if you can't.

    Sprint Cell Phone Carrier?

    Who is using them and what are your opinions? I am trying to cut costs and they have good rates. I am currently with Verizon and want to change out Mrs B's flip phone for a smartphone. If I do that with Verizon, my monthly rate will go from the current $119/mo to $150.00 plus the cost of a...

    Back to Tablets!

    This should be a pretty generic question about tablet memory. In this case it is a Lenovo Android A2xxx. It shows three types of memory in settings. One is internal, one is USB (which I understand is a partitioned extension of the internal memory. The third is external memory, in this case a...

    Gotta keep this forum awake and lively! :P

    Moving a program from one physical hard drive to another? I guess by all accounts I am running my old Dell Inspiron on borrowed time. I inherited it from my father in law (may he RIP) back in late 2005. The single hard drive is bordering on being out of space. It is a 40ish GB drive. I want...

    A question for any of you Android-phone-ofiles?

    Something funny happened today. I had a customer call me. In the process of fishing the phone out of my pocket, I inadvertently squelched the call. Moments later l got a voicemail notification. I knew who it was so I immediately returned it. She told me that while she was in the process of...

    A flash player for Android?

    I am just getting into the tablet thing, I have noticed that some internet videos will not play on my Jelly Bean Android.(ver 4.1.2) In googling the subject I find that Google dropped its association with Adobe Flash Player when they introduced Jelly Bean. Further reading shows that you can...

    Any recommendations. The last I used was typical indoor/outdoor carpet. It just disintegrates after a few years. I do not have any issues with attachiing it as I use glue and monel staples.

    Tablet firmware update?

    I have a Lenovo A1000 tablet which is two years old. It just gave a notice that it needed a firmware update. It warned to be sure not to run out of battery (I have it plugged in) and that it would likely take 30 minutes to do it. I clicked to do it and the tablet switched off, then rebooted...

    If it is not one thing, it is another. I have an XP PC. When I have multiple internet pages open then try to open another, that new page will sometimes lock up with a 'not responding' note on the header bar. When that happens, it will render all pages 'not responding' . I then have to open...

    Auto/boat electrical dilemma!

    Last season I had several no crank issues with my boat after I shut it off during the course of people exiting and re-boarding the boat. All the while everything else worked, ie, gauges, blower, bilge pump, etc. I would fiddle around with the battery connections (there was not even any solenoid...
