I use AirDroid for the majority of my phone management (moving docs/media/photos from phone to Mac and vice versa) and I just noticed that I have the option to download the .apk of all my apps to my computer. What exactly does this do? I don't expect it to make the app usable on my desktop, but does it basically put the app on my computer so that I could install it to another android device?

I don't know how to save my photos in my Samsung Galaxy S6 to my computers which operate with Windows 7 and Windows 10.

I'm trying to establish a foundation for working with my new phone. I know nearly zip about the Android OS and all that that links to, I'm finding the index doesn't have obvious doorways which newbies can enter, learn, get comfy & up to speed. Not complaining, just reminding you of people who don't yet know enough to know what to ask. I remember how life was before I forgot how being new felt. A story...Einstein & a colleague struck a bet that the colleague could explain the theory of relativity to anyone that Einstein would name. He chose a young boy, smart but young. The explanation started and Einstein started preparing his wallet; the explanation was so clear that he knew he already had lost. The bet was finalized by Einstein having some Q&A with the boy in order to prove what by now was very clear to him: was there any doubt that the boy now understood. His first question to repeat back what the boy heard and understood to be self-evident. The lad famously is said to have replied, "that was very interesting, but tell me, what is a co-ordinate system?"
Me: what is an APK?
Sorry to drone on but I found the story as informative as it was amusing.

i tried to talk anonymously to people nearby me yesterday. App name was "HoHooChat". Please tell me how is this app should i keep this or uninstall if it is of no use ??

I am trying to follow the below guide but after reaching the stage where I select Reboot to Recovery Mode, the phone just reboots into a screen with a phone and a red exclamation/triangle in it. Pressing up or down doesn't bring up any menu where I can see the wipe cache partition

what am I doing wrong?

I attempted to send a picture and a text message to four people. The message I received was "Delivered to Some." I know the 3 people who did receive it. Is there a chance that the fourth person has blocked me from their phone? I also tried to call this person and the phone rang several times and went to her regular voicemail and I did leave a voice mail. This person has an I Phone 6 or 6S. I have a Droid LG5.
Thank you.

Seems I can download APK, what is it and what does it do?

phone went thru a near fatal auto crash with my niece last August -- she is still recovering, but has some memory loss and can't remember her password.

As soon as I change the Lockscreen after resetting the Lenovo Tablet 2 a10-70 it doesn't fit anymore. It only Shows a small Piece of the picture. Has anyone an idea what I can do about this?

I've been told that because I have an security update lurking in my system update section, it's blocking the notification for Marshmallow. If that's true,is there a way to remove the 6 months old update without installing the old Lollipop security update.

Samsung Galaxy S5 Lollipop 5.0 Verizon

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 mini, and my SMS become MMS after very few letters.
I already tried everything I saw on the internet to fix this problem, but nothing works : I changed the input mode in my SMS settings, I changed the MMS setting into "limited", but nothing changed.

Does anyone have another solution? I don't want to download an application.

Thank you in advance :)

Is there anyway to retrieve deleted memos ? Please I hope there is !!! Thank you.

I turned it off when the battery was really low to preserve it. Got home and charged it. My screen stopped working after that. The percentage of the battery also went up and down too. I cannot unlock it, answer calls, etc. PLEASE HELP! Ive tried taking the battery out resetting it... Not Working!

Messenger always crashes on me after like 2 minutes or random times if I'm in a call and get out of it to browse my phone or just typing in the chat bubble head it randomly crashes. I tried reinstalling it and still doesn't work. I have an LG Tribute.
