I've turned disconnected the phone wifi from our network, and changed the IP from the custome Static one back to DHCP - that should mean that the downstairs computer will go back to using wifi normally right? I don't have to do anything else to get the PC working normally? I'll have a chat with the tech guys at my job tommorow. Honestly I only wanted to get wifi connected at home to save my data use when using Apps - I'll use a computer for most of my broswing.

Hey dudes I have a Sprint LG Tribute 5, model number LG LS 675. When I try to move apps to the external storage card it prefers to use the internal storage virtual  storage card instead of the actual 32 gig SD card that is installed. I'm sure the external card works, I can browse to it with the file manager and see that photograph have been saved on it with the camera but when I do settings/apps/Move to SD card I can see that the files end up on internal storage/Android instead of on the SD card. It looks like this is a feature that the carrier has built into this build of Android (5.1.1) it isn't something I can change without doing something drastic (rooting the phone). Is there something that I'm missing that would let me get around this so that I can actually store apps on the SD card? Thanks.

When I try to move apps to the external storage card it prefers to use the internal storage virtual format as internal storage works for gently caress all. You will fight bugs that deal with available storage space, and app updates randomly installing to internal storage, and apps with widgets breaking, and Google official apps being 100% not moveable, and apps that you moved to your external SD randomly not being available after a reboot, and numerous other things. That being said, "extra" internal storage is a pretty big revenue stream so I hope you don't buy from a company that charges you $50 for 16GB more internal space.

I'm pretty sure TurboCharge is broken on my not even year old Droid Turbo 2. Battery was kind of low last night. Hooked it up to the QuickCharge plug, phone was dead this morning. Checked multiple times last night that the icon showed charging. Made sure screen wasn't turned on. Wife's Moto X 2014 TurboCharges just fine on the same plug, but mine just seems to suck out more energy when its connected.

Because if something happens to the SD card it's going to take the whole system down with it, it's going to prevent updates from working, and you'll be consigned to constantly keeping a janked-up system barely working when Samsung and your carrier are actively trying to stop you from doing so. It's way better to use the device as intended.

Eh I can free up something like 3gb and change if I absolutely have to and I'm never going to be one of those dudes that has their entire life stuffed into their phone I just can't leave multiple giant rear end games installed permanently and I'm ok with that.

My second Nexus 6P charger crapped out this morning (the first one was dead pretty much out of the box). Is there a goon-recommended charger that would provide a comparable charging speed?

If you've also got regular USB devices you might want to charge at the same time, this is only $5 more and really good, Anker make good stuff. Both of them will charge as fast as the stock charger. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B019...6FwL&ref=plSrch chippy fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Jun 18, 2016 |

I blame too many weird budget phones and not enough sleep.  That makes rooting an even worse idea since at least Samsung gives you some way to go back to stock once the house of cards collapses, I'm not sure LG offers such a tool.

Flesh Forge posted:We'll hang on then, are the downsides not the same? On Samsung phones sd cards are treated as external storage for media, with the option to move apps to the card. If you remove the card the app disappears from the phone until you put the card back in. Basically you can put your huge rear end games on the card without worrying that if it fails it'll take your whole phone down with it.
