    Help Replace Moto G screen..tool needed?

    Dropped my phone (onto the road at 90kph) and the screen is a mess. When trying to repair it, I find that the replacement screen and digitiser do not come with any tools.

    Stock Android messaging app has lost a thread

    As far as I know I use the stock Android Messaging app and it's been working fine. I don't know if it's a coincidence, but I updated the '3' app (my mobile network), restarted my mobile and noticed in notifications it was showing two text messages. I tapped to read them but it only showed one...

    Sim card problem after Android update

    My Moto G 2nd generation updated to Android 6.0, and I left my SD card as "portable". I found that I had lost the option to transfer apps to the card, but not being ultra-tech-savvy, I assumed that, with the upgrade, this was because they were being installed there automatically. However, when...

    My Motorola Moto G2 won't charge.

    So basically it doesn't register that there is a charging cable attached, or if it does it doesn't go above the percentage it was already on. Right now it sustains itself on 0% but doesn't charge anymore than that. I've tried holding down power and vol down button and restarting it that way, but...

    Bluetooth headset works well for phone, but v bad for playing music

    My BT headset is near unusable to listen to music at the gym; it "skips" (music cuts out for a split second) perhaps once every 20 seconds. What I don't understand is that when I use it to make calls, it seems to work quite well: the other person's voice never cuts out, and I'm told that my...
