    clone apps from old phone to new

    Feedback Helium works to a limited extent: backup to the cloud is the best way (@ $5), and only some of the apps retained their modifications. per ardua ad astra

    clone apps from old phone to new

    Old phone is a Nexus 4. New phone is a LG G4. I used Google backup on my old phone thinking it would back up the apps including any data that goes with them (e.g., configurations for my Locus Pro maps; scores on games; text message history). Not so. All it does is record which apps I have...

    Palm Pilot Won't Synchronize

    you haven't given us much to work with. we really need the computer's operating system and service pack, which computer model, which pp and its o/s. that having been said, i ran into a similar problem. i acquired a new dell laptop with no serial ports. i did find an adapter that would allow...

    Job titles...

    i don't really care what they call my position, just as long as they pay me. i also don't care what they call me, as long as they don't call me late for dinner. when i do own up to being a technical writer, nobody knows what that means anyway, so i self-style my position as wordsmith doctor...
