Dave, I have an older Samsung Galaxy S24 and battery life has gone down quite a bit. What can I do to extend battery life on my phone without having to buy a new battery?
Your smartphone is running apps that are hiding behind the scenes. They consume resources, slowing down the device, but can be hard to identify. Unless you’re running the latest version of Android 16 on a Google Pixel Phone, that is…
Hi Dave! I just bought myself a Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 tablet and really like it. When I swipe right from the home screen, however, I’m stuck in Google News. How can I change that to Samsung News and customize the app to just show news on topics I care about? Thanks.
Dave, I’m so frustrated with my Android phone; it’s endlessly vibrating or beeping about notifications! I typically don’t care about them, and some are from programs I’ve never heard of! How can I tame my notification chaos? Running Android 16 on a Pixel 7a.
Dave, I’m finding that it’s harder to read the screen on my Google Pixel 7 and am wondering if there’s a way to increase the type size to make it more legible? I hope so! Thanks.
To be honest, many of the AI features added to Android don’t bring much functionality. However, some of them are really fun. One of the lesser-known features is the ability to apply local weather visual effects to your wallpaper. Turns out, it’s pretty cool…
Dave, my cousin was showing me how the iPhone tracks her steps and how she can track her activity every day without an Apple Watch or any other device. Cool! Can my Pixel 7 phone do the same?
Dear Dave, I often find myself in restaurants and bars where they’re playing great music. Music I would like to add to my own playlists. How can I identify what songs they are and save the information? It’d be even better if I could do it stealthy!
I live in Wyoming and spend a lot of time driving in the mountains. Problem is, it’s usually without cell coverage, so Google Maps can’t show my current location most of the time. Is there a way to download maps in advance so I can know where I am?
Dave, I like to turn my phone completely off when I go to bed every night, but I can’t figure out how to do that on my new Pixel phone. When I press the power button, it wants to chat with me, not power down! What’s the fix?
