I use a wheelchair, and I am looking to set up a smartwatch as kind of a safety device.

I'd like to be able to use it to make calls or send messages if I get stuck or fall.

Hopefully, I would not be making calls or sending messages directly through the phone very often.

I am wondering if I can find a way to set up a small prepaid plan for the watch. I am looking to keep my expense on this one minimal.

Even though it's important. I don't...

I have been trying to put videos on it (or a micro sd card) without much luck.

I have several conversion programs.

The new, updated ones, have the Samsung tablets listed.

When I click on them and convert a video the way it says to, the video won't play on the tablet.

I have tried MKV and MP4's and neither will work.

Can anyone tell me how to convert a video so it can be used on my tablet?

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you...

I'm looking for a calendar app for my phone. (Samsung S4) that will sync between my phone and desktop (Windows 7). I would also like something that works well with Yahoo mail, invitations etc.

I've downloaded the Yahoo email app, but I don't see a way to access the calendar from the app.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I wanted a cheap taxi so I tried to download the Lyft app and the app wanted the contacts, photos, camera and about a dozen things in all. I have run into this before and it is inconvenient.

I am thinking of writing such an app, an app which will hide information you see no need to give out.

Before starting I want to know if the app has been written already or if it is even possible without physical modification.]]> Tue, 21 Feb 2017 01:34:56 +0000 https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/cannot-find-xiaomi-section.765393/ https://forums.afterdawn.com/threads/cannot-find-xiaomi-section.765393/ invalid@example.com (neo842) neo842
I got a xiaomi redmi note 3 16mp 30gig hard drive

Camera is incredible the os is pretty shaky

The bulk ware in it constantly keeps pulling up spam websites by itself.

I need to flash it.

I am having signal problems the person on the other end cannot hear me so came on here to fix a fix because I love after dawn but Xiaomi is not showing up in the search which I find strange because you could always find everything on here.

If anyone can help...
