    News Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 vs Galaxy Z Fold 4: What's different?

    BTW, they could have piggybacked a micro-SD slot with the SIM tray for secure portable storage, instead of having to rely on the Cloud. And included a separate headphone jack to allow the phone to be charged while listening to wired audio, an S pen and a CHARGER. Considering this is a...

    OnePlus Open — 5 ways it beats the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5

    Does it have stylus support? DeX? Other productivity or connectivity tools the Fold has? How is the audio? Where are the speakers located? Are there settings for an external keyboard or mouse? Screen real estate is one thing, but how does the other hardware and software match up?

    How to upgrade software for my straight talk Lg stylo2

    I have the same device through Boost Mobile, an MVNO of Sprint. It came with Marshmallow (6.x). Less than a year later, Boost passed along an upgrade to Nougat (7.0). Straight Talk might have done the same. Open "Settings," tap the "General" tab and scroll down to "System Updates." The...

    My LG Stylo 2 isn't seeing my SD card

    Is it running Marshmallow (6.x) or Nougat(7.x)? Carrier? I bought the same device. Still using. Marshmallow didn't see it. A quirk by Google policy regarding SD cards and storage from Ice Cream Sandwich through Marshmallow. Upgraded to Nougat, via an update sent by LG and Boost Mobile...

    Having issue moving my apps from phone to SD card Android 8.1

    The only reason for converting the SD card to Internal in Marshmallow was because that OS did NOT recognize SD cards as Portable Storage---or at all. Moving stored app data was simply not an option. Nougat gives back the option whether to convert it or not, and Oreo has SD card storage as...

    Best Big Phones: Top Picks 5.5 Inches or Larger

    LG should have kept the removable battery. You can always get a water-resistant case to protect it with. BTW, I already replaced the battery on my Stylo 2 twice because they swell up and no longer accept a charge over time. And being able to visually inspect the battery and order...

    I have an older pioneer suround sound with rca cables. how do I hook this to a new samsung tv, I have hdmi ports one with arc

    I have a similar setup in my home theater. If you don't want to pay for a cable box (I use an antenna) , you can purchase an HDMI-to-RCA adapter at a brick-and-mortar or online electronics store, connect the one end of the HDMI cable to your TV, the other end to the adapter, connect RCA cables...

    Vintage audio question

    You could also connect wirelessly. Bluetooth trasmitter to RCA jacks on TV; Bluetooth receiver to unused RCA audio jacks on back of stereo. Your TV might have Bluetooth built in. If so, you only need the one for the stereo. Pair it up the same way you would with your phone using the setting...

    Solved! Need an app or code for the "Caps Lock" LED to work

    Problem is with the interactivity of both the keyboard and the phone. And a choice of where to have the notification---the light on the "caps lock" key or an icon on the status bar. While the keyboard types great on my LG Stylo 2, unfortunately Logitech makes no version of "Setpoint" for...

    How to save apps on SD card without rooting the phone

    If you have Nougat, 7.0 or better, you can move the data files from selected apps to the micro SD card to free up space while maintaining the portability and integrity of the card. BTW, do you want to run apps from the card or use it for app backup files? I should have asked about that first.

    Hi, I have filled the memory on the SD card in my LG phone, is there a way to upgrade/transfer to a bigger SD card?

    Once a micro SD card is set as internal, it becomes encoded so you cnnot use it on any other device. Unless you can upload the data from the card to the cloud, a computer or other storage outside the phone and transfer it to the new card, you are screwed. And if you can transfer everything...

    Solved! Need an app or code for the "Caps Lock" LED to work

    I bought a Logitech K810 Bluetooth keyboard to use with my LG Stylo 2, running Nougat 7.0. Paired up easily, all backlighting and sensors working. However, the LED for the "Caps Lock" won't come on when engaged. Many times, I forget. Logitech has a program called "Setpoint," but it's only for...
