    Help LG G3 WiFi Strangeness

    So I'm on the latest Lollipop, and I've noticed that while my wifi does connect at home, work, and other remembered wifi areas I frequent, my phone gets all its updates when I get away from wifi. For instance, every morning when I drive away from my house to head to work (and away from my home...

    How to turn off QSlide

    I swear I found the answer on this forum not too long ago, but after doing a search, nothing came up. I just did a factory reset after the KitKat update, and I want to remove the QSlide section of the notification panel, it takes up too much space. Anyone remember how to do that? thanks in...

    Maps directions in non English??

    Hi, I've had my LG G2 for about a week now, and already had to return it to the store to have the SIM card swapped out. Now it works incredibly, except for Google maps. The VOICE guidance is in Portuguese... UPDATE: I had to change the default settings in the Language/Input section under...

    Identical LG G2's, but one on 3G, other 4G

    My wife and I just picked up our new G2s yesterday and spend last night setting them up. We set up our home wifi, and changed the network default from "Global" to "LTE/CDMA" (please let me know if this is unnecessary), and yet her phone always has the Wifi signal + the 4G bars, and mine always...

    Foolish to get S4 now or wait for S5?

    My 2 yr contract with my Droid Razr Maxx is up this month and am ready for a new phone. I'm liking the HTC One or the S4. The Galaxy S4 has consistently been rated and reviewed as a top 3-5 phone, even as of March 2014. However, since its been out a full year, is it foolish to get the S4 now, or...

    Help No longer able to use Pattern for my unlock.

    I have always preferred the pattern screen lock. While on a road trip, I turned it off so it could be easier for using the map, nav, etc. So when I got home, I wanted to turn it on again, but now all my choices (None, Slide, Face, Pattern) are all dimmed and say "Disabled by administrator...

    Help Home screen keeps restarting

    My home screen/stock launcher has been rebooting a lot lately. Most of the time it's when I hit the Home button, but not always. Its very frustrating. (My phone is stock Maxx, 4.0.4, Build 6.7.2-180). Any suggestions? Thanks!:confused:

    Stock ICS launcher keeps rebooting

    Any reasons why my stock launcher keeps rebooting? It's annoying, even just 1 or 2x a day. I'm considering trying Apex or Nova launchers for a change of pace. Besides different looks, are they actually faster have better performance?

    Still don't have ICS in the 303

    And by the looks of it in these forums, I'm kind of glad I don't have it yet. It's not getting very good reviews, although I do have ICS on my Asus Transformer Pad and I like it and seems pretty stable. So why isn't it translating as well to phones??

    Help Duplicate texts

    I've checked other threads with other phones, but none of the answers apply to me. I use GoSMS Pro for my text engine and I've turned off all notifications from the stock text messaging app. But SOMETIMES I get duplicate messages and other times I don't. AND, even when I don't get dupe texts, I...

    Generic Android app icons

    A few of my app icons turn to the generic Android icon on my home page. It's not all of them, but enough of them, and the culprits always seem to be the same apps. Bad apps? Sometimes the real app icons return on a restart, sometimes they don't. They all still launch but it's annoying...

    Help Gmail isn't notifying

    I'm running Android version 2.3.6 and the settings I usually checked on 2.3.4 aren't set up the same. Ive checked settings on the phone in Accounts, as well as the settings within Gmail. They all look right, but obviously I'm missing something. I have to manually sync each time. Any ideas?

    Help Maxx just shuts down?

    My week old Maxx has just inexplicably shut down. Twice. After the first time, it really made no sense. It had over 70% battery juice remaining, it wasn't hot, I had just used it, put it down, needed to use it again and...nothing. Since you can't remove the battery on this, couldn't do that...

    *228 for updating roaming necessary with SIM cards?

    With my previous Dinc, and with my traveling for work, Verizon support said it would be a good idea to hit *228 to update roaming in the new city. He also said it isn't a bad idea to do it monthly no matter what, as their networks, etc. are always expanding, updating... But with my new Razr...

    I chose a stock ringtone as my default, and when I test it in the settings, it works. But when I get an actual call, a female voice speaks to me about who is calling?? Not what I chose, and where is this option coming from? Even if I DID want the spoken voice option, I don't even see it as an...

    Just got my Maxx, when ICS?

    I just got my Maxx and have been playing around with it and setting up all my screens and downloaded all my backed up apps (via AppBrain), etc. and it occurred to me: should I NOT do all this setup work if 4.0 will be pushed to it soon, and I'll have to start over? Should I wait, or will Ice...

    Help Will original Incredible be getting Ice Cream Sandwich?

    Once and for all, (I've searched) what are the chances the Incredible will be getting ICS? I love the phone, and yes my 2 years is up, so my guess is that Verizon won't be wasting their efforts sending the OTA for ICS to 'older' phones. I did read tho, that a decent number of original Dincs did...

    I've looked at all the threads here, and I'm also asking on Forums with BMW. My 2005 X3 has built in Bluetooth and when I scan for devices, my Dinc actually finds the BMW bluetooth!
