I searched for a resolution, but I really didn't know how to word the search, or my question! But here goes: My phone is a stock LG G2, VS980, running Lollipop 5.02. Everything has always been really great with this phone, however (and I believe this started with the Lollipop update), when...

I don't remember previously seeing an app called Google Play when checking my Battery stats on my Verizon LG2. But it's there now, and it's always at the very top of the battery usage list. It regularly is using 80% or more of the battery. And battery life has suffered. My Android version is...

Arrrgh. Sorry. Title should read "Photos Sent by TEXT Extremely Slow to Load". So much for my proof reading skills! My wife has a Moto X that has an issue that has been bugging her for some time (since day 1, actually). Her Moto X is a first generation model, and she has installed any...

I rooted my 2012 Nexus 7 (4.4.4) this morning using the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.6. I backed up my device using the toolkit. The "Backup Virtual SDcard" option wasn't available to me as the device needs to be wiped first if running 4.4.4. Too bad, as according to the toolkit, this backup...

Never mind

I didn't know how to best word the title of this post. And therefore, I haven't found any answers anywhere else. Here's the issue: While navigating using the Google Maps navigation feature, I like to choose the "dim screen between turns" option to save battery. The problem is that when a...

My wife received her Moto X (Verizon) the other day. I was showing her how to use some settings, and when I came to Display/Brightness, I saw auto brightness could not be checked. Brightness could only be selected manually. The phone was delivered with KitKat. Curious, I went to the Verizon...

As usual, I'm probably way over thinking this and there probably isn't a problem. Maybe the charging LED on my VZ LG G2 has been pulsating since day one and I simply haven't noticed it. For some reason, I had thought it had glowed a solid orange when charging. Maybe I'm thinking that because...

Every time I pull down the notification bar on my VZ LG G2, I get the very large and annoying QuickRemote prompt that asks me if I want to add a remote. I'm not using this feature. I've edited the slider so the QuickRemote app does not display. I don't think this is an app that can be...

I received my Verizon LG G2 last Friday. So far, I think it's great. The battery lasts forever. The camera seems great. Not one hiccup so far... everything is working as designed. However, I do appreciate those with some consternation about the bloatware and some of the software details...

I'm still trying out CM7.2, and I'm getting more familiar with it. I have a question about themes. Although I prefer a plain, dark screen for battery performance, I thought I would try downloading and installing a theme. I installed HoneyGrayscale from the market. When I then uninstalled the...

Hi Folks... About a year and a half ago (how time flies), the good folks on this board helped me unlock and root (with 'S' off) my original Droid Incredible. At that time, I installed the "GB OTA (4.08.605.2) plus Extras" ROM that was found at...

When checking settings/apps/running apps, I see that Google Services and Maps show two running instances of each. I am running 4.2.1 on my nexus 7, and I don't see any performance problems with battery life or apps. Everything seems just fine. I just wonder if this is something I need to pursue...

I have a 16 GB N7 with all updates installed. I also have most of my space still available (I don't have music, videos, large games loaded). I had absolutely no issues until I installed Shortyz crossword puzzle app. Lag hit big time. Multiple icon presses needed to start apps, etc... the...
