After using my Galaxy S3 for almost 3 and a half years, I decided to upgrade to a new phone. The GS3 has been a great phone, but has been feeling long in the tooth for months now. With a bunch of new phones released as of late, I decided to pull the trigger and get a Nexus 6P. My reasons for...

I seem to be unable to set a song I have on my phone as the alarm tone. Is there a way to do this like I can with my old phone?

On my old phone (Galaxy S3), I have some custom sound files that I create for notification sounds. I had no issues using them on my old phone on all apps that allow custom notifications. On the Nexus 6P, I am unable to set custom notification sounds for Google Hangouts and Facebook Messenger...

I'm having an issue with S Planner. I would change the notification sound, but then after some time, it seems to always change back to the default notification sound. Anyone else having this issue? I'm using an I747-M model on Bell. The phone will not let me disable this app. I tried to...

Well, you had me at gravity and then you kinda lost me. :confused: I will address the phone menus you get when you call a company. There are a number of reasons why companies put phone menus for customers. I'll touch on the following: cost, training and reporting. Cost is a big factor...

It works with 2. I had 2 cats and it works on either. Usually the dominant one would claim it first.

I highly recommend Tennis Live scores. It lists matches for APT/WTA tournaments, Challengers as well as Grand Slams. It also gives details like who won each individual game. There is also a live ATP/WTA rankings, so during the week, you can tell how they are doing instead of having to wait...

I still have mine. Had it since July 2012. I was tempted to replace it twice. Once it was when the Nexus 5 was released a year ago. Another time it was the OnePlus One earlier this year. I decided that it wasn't worth my spending hundreds of dollars to replace a phone that is still working...

This trick works. I normally use a box with low edges. When I had cats, sometimes I'm working on something on a table and my cats come and get in the way. What I do is just put some of these boxes on the table just out of the way of the stuff that I'm doing. My cats would come and just sit...

I used VLingo briefly to use voice commands to send text messages. After a few attempts while driving, I stopped. I found that the act of composing a message vai voice reco takes a significant amount of my concentration and greatly impacts my ability to drive safely. Voice commands in general...

I recommend that you remove updates and then reinstall. Maps is not normally removable on most Android phones, so all you can do is just uninstall all updates and then update it again. Give that a try and see if it resolves your issue.

Turning down the brightness is the only way to save battery life for LCD screens.

It seems what you are asking is if it is possible to make your phone perform better. You are assuming that if you can add more RAM, it can make the phone faster. The physical and software limitations of phones make it impossible for anyone to just add more RAM to a phone. Since adding RAM is...

I haven't used Google Maps in a while, but I don't ever recall any orange colouration. The only orage there is signify main highways. I would normally ask for a screen shot. If you are driving, ask someone to take screen shot of it or pull over and then take a screen shot. That would make...

KitKat, Android 4.2.2, just arrived yesterday for Rogers, Bell and Telus (Robellus) and Koodo (Telus owned). Samsung Galaxy Note 2, S3, S4 Mini and Mega upgrade to KitKat now available to download | MobileSyrup.com I've installed it on my phone late yesterday. I'll have to use it a few days...

I got my Transformer almost 3 years ago. I decided to get the Transformer because of the keyboard dock. I was hoping to be able to use it as a PC replacement. I used it quite a bit for about a year. I found it could replace my PC 75% of the time. What I liked most is the fact that I can...

When I am on a call, I see this dial pad: I hate this dial pad because it is too high on the screen. When I try to use it, my hand often triggers the proximity sensor and causes the screen to blank out on me. Is there any way to use a custom dial pad to replace this? I have tried custom...

The update started rolling out yesterday. I got mine last night. My first impression was that the phone seemed a bit smoother. Not sure if it is 4.3 or the fact that I just rebooted it. I'll have to see in a few days if it is still smooth. The big issue I am having is with BlueTooth. It...

A few months ago, I decided to root my phone for the sole purpose of using Keyboard Manager. I did nothing else such as installing custom ROM. I was wondering what would happen if my carrier decides to push out a firmware update to my phone. Would I get the notification that I have an update...

I have Adobe Flash installed on my GS3. When you update the phone to Jelly Bean, do you have to do anything more to ensure Flash is still available on the stock browser?

Is there any way to change the notification sound when I get a voicemail notification?

So, back in July 2012, I had to get a new phone. The battery on my HTC Desire Z was going bad and I was unable to get a new battery in time for my vacation. Under tight time constraints, I decided to burn my early upgrade eligibility on the Samsung Galaxy S III. I was planning on waiting...

I seem to be unable to change the default notification ringtone on my calendar (S Planner). Every time I go into the settings to change the default notification ringtone, it always reverts back to the one called "On time". Anyone know how to permanently change the default notification ringtone...

I just noticed as of late that none of the weather apps that I tried can find my current location. It seemed to work when I was in Europe and then back in Vancouver a couple of weeks ago. This week, I noticed there was a problem. My Maps app works fine. Both The Weather Network and The...

I noticed that a couple of times this week, my phone lost network connectivity to the 3G/HSPA/LTE network. I'm on Bell Canada. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this issue.
