I'm currently visiting relatives with no internet connection, so I'm using my tablet over USB tethering, but when I do this the tablet's power slowly drains (it even warns me its "slow charging" despite this being a USB3 root port) anyone have any idea how I can keep it from dying just from...

Thanks, got everything I wanted off it and onto my PC :)

Going through drawers I found my (late) mother's old iphone6, and (knowing little to nothing about the software/interface since I've almost always used android) just wanted to see if there was a free/cheap program to just let me dump all the contents onto my PC in a clean, easy-to-view/search...

Not to disparage our members here, but [H] is more a general tech forum, you'd probably have better luck over on XDA with this issue (don't remember if we're allowed to link other sites or not, but google should find the site from just the name)

Highly recommend Astro, been using it for years, and integrates with both google and OD as well as Dropbox, Box, Yamtex(?), SMB servers, and FTP servers, all in one https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.metago.astro&hl=en_US&gl=US

I am sporadically needing to tether my laptop for internet - not daily, not weekly, not even monthly; I only need it for a few (completely random...) days per year; this makes most tethering plans a HUGE waste of money for me since they tend to be stupidly expensive with a set amount per month...

Yeah, its odd that skimming the other replies most ppl are only getting ~$400 for their phones... might be because I've been with the same carrier for over a decade (?) or I just got lucky with a limited-time promotion... very happy with the Galaxy Watch, works well and is the only watch I've...

After upgrading my phone, my current car charger only makes the battery last longer - over time the charge still goes down, just ~half as fast as without it... Can anyone recommend a good wireless car charger (windshield mount)? If there's no real option for charging a phone like the S22U...

Wow seems I'm in the minority... I actually got my S22U before it was released! XD (No joke, upgraded through my carrier and received the handset like 10 days before it was officially released) That being said... did I *WANT* to upgrade to the S22U... _no_. Pissed that they removed the...

I recently purchased a Ring Mailbox sensor (https://ring.com/products/ring-mailbox-sensor/) and mounted it to my mailbox... however, due to the mailbox being on the opposite (far) side of the road as my house (there's a massive drainage ditch on the edge of the property so it cant be put on the...

Seems a little over-complicated, but a good option! I was unaware there was dedicated windows software for Alexa (and if that's the case, my desktop is in the same room and running 24/7 so I could just add a good, sensitive, mic to it!) I will have to look into this, thanks for the info!

Also, as a personal note (dont know if this matters to the OP) Samsung's DEX is a godsend for manipulating data on the phone (and just general useability if you have a keyboard and monitor handy) and if the Pixel has a similar feature, I'm unaware of it

Amazingly, turning off hardware acceleration solved it! (I guess the 660 really was the bottleneck... or bulldozer proved once again why its a joke of a CPU) Thank you so much for all your help!!! It was probably around 2-4 years ago... (didnt realize it was that long, but thinking about life...

This. So much this. I still use my Note 4 as a mini-tablet on my bedside, outside of the mic dieing hard (did a full replacement of the mic board and it still didnt work) and it being a little slow just due to its old specs, its still chugging along! LikeDivialitil I have a oled (note 4) with...

Interesting... mine doesn't show it like that, instead, it says "play original quality" or "Play as X" (though it looks like your using the iOS/apple version while I'm using windows/android so there are bound to be some minor differences) I've tried forcing a transcode in the past (from 1080p...
