My wife has a 16GB Galaxy S6 with basic clamshell case while my son has a 32GB Galaxy S6 which is entirely enclosed in an Otterbox Defender case. From the same location (the classrooom she teaches in) I can receive a text message from my son BUT NOT my wife. The reception in her classroom is...

I just received a replacement S6 from Verizon (the old one had the sizzling sound issue when I turned the camera on). Anyway, I got myself all customized once again on the new S6 (no rooting) with one exception. The Zedge ringtone that I downloaded keeps getting randomly resetting to the default...

I actually feel like I took a step backwards going from a Nexus to an S4. Two major beefs after three days of ownership: 1) None of the volume settings can be locked to each other like on the Nexus. I tried installing Volume Control+ but it seems to be very buggy and not working right...

I am trying to transfer files (some very small misc files and some large AVI files about 1 GB each) between two Windows 7 machines using my Galaxy Nexus running with JB. On the PC with Windows 7 (64-bit Home Premium) I can easily transfer the files to the phone with the USB cable. On the...

I installed Skype yesterday so I can chat with my son on his iPod Touch. When I try to initiate a call, it connects and I see him on my screen but he cannot see me. The gnex keeps telling me to enable video, which I do but to no avail. I rooted and unlocked my gnex a few months ago and I am...

I unlocked and rooted my Gnex a few months ago and it has been running smooth ever since. Today I get notified of the Jelly Bean update. Do I accept it or not? Will it re-lock my phone and eliminate my root access? Don't know what to do.

Why is it that I can't update my wife's Incredible 2 (I'm talking about the phone here :D) to the same version of Gmail that I have on my Galaxy Nexus. Hers is stuck at v2.3.5 (or something along those lines) and I have v4.0.5 (I believe) which is much more pleasing to look at. I ran the...

This morning my wife received hundreds of emails from a bogus sender (donotreply@vzw.net) stating that her account could not be authenticated. How do I stop these? She keeps getting one EVERY hour but they are not showing up in her Gmail when I log onto Google via our PC....only on her...

So after a few hurdles I managed to unlock and root my Gnex (no custom ROM yet). A big THANK YOU you to all that helped in my time of need. I've since downloaded GoLauncher and have been enjoying the ability to change the name of icons as well as each icon image. One thing I can't figure...

I unlocked my Gnex using these instructions. The fastboot flash recovery step failed so I gave up after hours of getting nowhere and restarted my phone. When it rebooted a few minutes later it was as if I had just got the phone (which is by the way, what I really wanted...a clean slate). 1)...

In the past week two apps (Morningstar and Scramble) no longer launch. I've tried closing pretty much every running app that may be causing the problem and still nothing. I even uninstalled Avast which I've had for months with no issue. Does it sound like I need to wipe out my phone and start...

I was just using my Windows 7 PC to do some cleanup of my directories on my Gnex. I was basically moving photos and videos from their source directories to appropriate subdirectories in my docs folder (i.e. docs/photos, docs/videos, docs/misc, etc), when all of the sudden one of the copy...

What is the first step I should take in trying to resolve my poor signal strength issue? I've had my Gnex since it was released on Day 1. I can't take the fact that the phone can do some many neat things but it gets terrible data reception. I have to rely on WiFi most of the time. As an...

On my Gnex I don't see an option to set my notification settings for different types of events. I would like unique notification for email, sms, and calendar event alarm. If I'm busy at work I don't want to have to look at my phone every time I get an email, only when I need an appt reminder...

Please help...Android newbie here. Using my laptop at work, I used to be able to open docx/xlsx files that I had stored on my BB, edit them, and save them. Basically the BB acted as a thumb drive. Now that I've moved to the Gnex, I copied those same files (into a new directory I created...

Been scouring the net for a holster for 2 hours since I ordered my phone today. I was so in love with the holster on my berry storm 2. It was a simple, low profile, premium holster with a hard plastic clip. Most of the ones I see are gawdy, cheap-looking, and metal clip (covered by a leather...
