    I have Google + photos auto backup disabled in the Google + settings as well as the photo app settings and my sync settings. Every time I take a picture, it will turn itself back on in my sync settings and I will find the photo has been uploaded. It's still off in all the other places. I prefer...

    Help Moto G no longer able to send or receive SMS messages (solved)

    My roommate's Moto G just stopped sending and receiving SMS messages a few days ago. I already tried clearing the messenger app data and cache, booting into recovery mode and clearing the system cache, and force stopping all the third party apps she has. She only has about a dozen so it didn't...

    Help Keep ringtones from showing up in Google Play Music?

    I've read various solutions but nothing works. Creating a .nomedia file prevents them from showing up in the music player but it also removes them from the ringtones & notification lists. I keep them in /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones etc. It's not a huge deal but it's annoying having albums...

It looks pretty cool. I would use google drive but my upload speed...

    Help (solved)Flash video without the flash player?

    The main reason I've stuck with a laptop for watching video Is because the main site I go to requires flash. After sideloading flash on my phone it didn't work very well so I uninstalled the flash player. Now I went back to the same site just to make sure the flash player was completed removed...

    Has anyone used Chromecast with the Motorway G?

    If so would keeping it plugged in to the charger for hours at a time while watching Netflix be detrimental to the phone or battery? I'm concerned about overheating. I'm trying to decide between a Chromebook, another laptop, my phone with Chromecast, a tablet with Chromecast, or a set top box...

    Problem with screen protectors...really strange!

    I ordered these from eBay and the first one had a really bad orange peel/rainbow effect so I thought it was defective. Turns out 3 out of the 6 pack all looked like this. At that point I gave up assuming all of them are that way. It's strange because I've never had this with any regular static...

I have the Touchpal X keyboard but all of the emojis are still showing up as android faces as well as in black and white. I tried the Google keyboard and couldn't get them to work either! Does anyone else have this...

    Data cable

    I'm surprised the Moto G doesn't come with a data cable but I found a data cable from an old mp3 player, hopefully it will work just to transfer files.

    Just bought my Verizon Moto G tonight!

    The closest best buy that had it in stock was an hour away but since they didn't offer the 2 year accident protection plan unless you bought it in the store, I made the drive. I could have got the standard protection plan but I wanted the extra protection lol. I wish it were a 16GB but I'll...

    I have really tried to like the Centura...

    But it's becoming really hard. First there is the time issue which admittedly doesn't bother me much and only happens every few months but it's still a little annoying. Second, there's the lag when I pull down the notification bar which I thought I had fixed by clearing my call log and system...

    Getting rid of an annoying voicmail icon when you have no voicemail

    My wife's Centura has had a voicemail notification in the status bar for about a month even though she deleted all her voicemail. She's been out of state so after some searching I found a video on youtube about how to fix it. Although the video says the fix is only temperary and the voicemail...

    A lot of Centura training going on at Walmart

    I was talking to a guy who works in electronics yesterday and he told me that since they sold so many Centuras for $29, there are people coming in every day with no clue how to use the phone. He said it's mostly elderly people (no offense) who are coming from flip phones. I could see my parents...

    System update

    I just unlocked to my Centura to find that a system update is available. It took me by surprise. Maybe this fixes the time issue? I don't know if this is a Straight Talk only update or if TracFone and Net10 is also included. I'm installing it now. It finished and said it updated 55 apps, and it...

    iLLumiShield screen protectors

    For those of you who have followed my screen protector posts, you know that I've finally mastered applying them. This time around, I've decided to go with clear screen protectors because after going for several weeks using my phone without one I just can't go back to the dull look of the...

    Thinking about rooting just to get the emoji fonts

    I don't plan on installing a custom ROM and I have a 2 year accident/malfunction replacement plan where they simply reimburse me the cost of the phone if anything happens to it. They don't even require me to send the phone first...as soon as they get a UPS tracking number, I get a Walmart gift...

    Help (Solved) MMS videos won't send

    I just tried sending a MMS with a video for the first time, and no matter the size, it says "message size limit reached. You can't add this video to your message." I've tried setting the quality to the lowest setting, and it won't even send a 743kb 10 second message. Has anyone else been...

    Leather flip case

    I was just wondering if anyone has came across a case like this that's either made for the Centura or universal. I don't like the side-opening ones with the credit card holders, but I'm curious about this type, I love my case but this seems cool. I'd never really thought about it until I seen...

    Thinking about making my own emoji/emoticon folder

    First of all, I prefer the stock messaging app, I've tried many others that support emojis and I didn't like any of them. I've also tried many emoji keyboards as well as several apps that will let you send emojis as a SMS and I didn't care for any of them as well. I am thinking of just...
