Dave, I have a Samsung A16 phone and am wondering if it’s powerful enough for me to be able to stream TV channels? I don’t want to pay for any subscription services, just watch an occasional movie or sporting event. What are my options?

I’m part of a family group text discussion and people are constantly sharing funny animated graphics. They’re all on iPhones, however, so am I right that I can’t do that on a Samsung phone running Android? If I can, can you walk me through the process? Thanks!
Android phone users have long since learned the joy of Quick Share (formerly known as Nearby Share) with photos, and Apple folk know all about AirDrop to transfer between iPhones and Mac systems. Now the two can talk to each other!

Dave, I have an older Google Pixel Android phone and am finding that battery life isn’t what it used to be. What are best practices for maximizing my battery life in Android 16?

Dave, my phone keeps waking me up with late night alerts and random app noise. My sister tells me that Android’s sleep mode can solve the problem, but I’ve never touched it. Is it actually useful, and how do I set it up without blocking alarms and emergency calls?

I’m migrating from an iPhone and am used to my phone just being automatically backed up. How do I enable that feature or turn on backups on my Google Pixel 9a Android phone? Thanks.

I don’t know what’s going on, Dave, but every time I rotate my new Samsung Galaxy Tab device, it gets dim and I have to manually adjust the brightness again. Why doesn’t it remember my brightness setting??

I just switched to a Samsung Galaxy S25 and am loving the Samsung + Android experience. What’s bugging me right now is that in the Weather app it indicates if today’s good or bad for running. Except I’m not a runner! How can I change that activity, or disable it?
Dave, I’m concerned that my ex is tracking me with an Apple AirTag that he’s hidden somewhere in my car. How can I check to see if there’s one in the vehicle – or some other tracker – given that I have an Android phone, not an iPhone?
