Thanks

LG Android Phone: Why can't I download any more apps?

Wed, 24 Dec 2025 01:25:22 -0700

I have an LG Optimus Hub android phone. My problem is that every time I try to download apps from play store I get a message saying 'insufficient internal memory'. I have tried to clear as much internal memory as possible by deleting other apps and moving some to my 32Gb Sd card but I still get the same message. I hardly have any apps in my phone!!!

Is there a way that I could download my apps directly into the Sd?

Please help, otherwise the phone works fine, I am trying to avoid the purchase of a new phone.

Thanks in advance. Lovely web site !

Kindle Fire: Intermittent USB Power Port - Common Problem

Sun, 19 Dec 2021 17:08:17 -0700

Looks like my wife's Kindle Fire has helped us join the ever-increasing club of owners that are having issues with the USB power port. We're having to wiggle the plug ''just right," until we see that it's actually charging. Sometimes that works... sometimes it doesn't. Doing a Google search returns a lot of people having the same issue, but other than teardowns, no one is saying that this is fixable in any other way than replacing the entire motherboard.

I would love for this site to focus on this component to see if it's prone to coming loose or if it's the likely cause of an intermittent connection.

Is there any chance someone could take a look and possibly help a whole lot of people with one assessment ?
