I’m working on my dissertation and constantly need to quote extended passages from books and magazines. I type them in, word by word, and it’s really tedious. Is there any way to photograph, scan, OCR and generally convert the text I’m seeing to words automatically on my Android phone instead? That’d save me a lot of work!
I don’t know how, but it appears that my kids have figured out the security PIN I entered when I set up my Samsung Galaxy S20 phone. Frustrating! What’s the easy way to reset the PIN to a different number sequence and lock them out again?
Just got an Android phone and I’m pretty excited about it, but now I need to add all my contacts. What’s the easiest way to do so? Running Android 11.
I take a lot of photos and sometimes people ask me where I was. I believe that my Android phone records the location every time I take a photo, so how can I ascertain the map coordinates or location?
My buddy was showing me something on his LG phone and I was startled to see him rotate his phone and his home screen shift to be horizontally (“landscape”) oriented. Whaaa? How did he do that and how can I do that on my Pixel phone?
I now have a Google Pixel 5 and a pair of Google Pixel Buds. They’re great together! Except I read somewhere that the Pixel 5 can actually double as a Qi wireless charging base to charge up the Buds as needed? How do I enable that?
I have picked up a bad habit of checking my phone when I’m driving, which I know is really bad. But when those notifications pop up or someone texts me… It’s better if I’m using CarPlay but is there a way to have my phone auto-respond that I’m driving if I’m in my car anyway?
So frustrating to set up a new Android phone because the screen timeout is incredibly short! Once I get through that, however, how can I set the timeout to at least a couple of minutes, if not longer?
