I saw that you wrote about how to limit the time you spend in specific apps on an iPhone [see: Limit Your iPhone Digital Addiction with App Time Limits]. Nice. But can you do something similar for Android phones? Not much of an Apple fan, honestly.
I bought a budget TV streaming device and it came with a really awful remote control. I’m wondering since it runs AndroidTV can I use my Android phone as a remote control for the device instead? If so, how do I set it up?
My young son really wants to be able to use my Android tablet for his games, but since I use it for work, I’m leery of letting him have access to my files and data. Is there a way on Android to set up multiple user accounts so I can let him play in a different workspace than my account?
Dave, I just switched from the iPhone to a new Google Pixel 5 and so far am really liking the Android experience. I’m curious about whether I can customize the pull-down shortcut buttons on my phone, however. Is that possible? Can you show me the basics?
I get calls all day and night, every day, from spammers trying to convince me to buy extended warranties, pay for annual antivirus subscriptions and more. Some even claim there’s a warrant out for my arrest if I don’t pay a fine. Daft. Are there some settings on Android to slow down this endless stream of interruptions?
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.
