So a bit of a long story, my S5 was rooted, and I wanted to update to the newest firmware. Went through a few steps to try and clear the 'custom' firmware tag, so I could do an OTA update. In the process I had to remove my SD card, which had lots of pictures on it, including ones I had taken that day, since re-inserting the SD card, it picks it up fine and is working for storage But the pictures that I had taken before are not being seen by the phone, if I plug the phone into my PC I can browse the SD card and see the pictures sitting right there, but the phone doesn't see them. Seems like an indexing problem of sorts, I can take a picture right now and it shows up on the SD Card, from the phone... but there are a few hundred MB of pictures sitting there not being seen Suggestions? :Edit: Well found a fix already! http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-galaxy-nexus/153157-gallery-isn-t-populating-images-sd-card-2.html#post2135921 Fixed it instantly Blue On Blue fucked around with this message at 22:50 on May 7, 2015 |

Variable_H posted:I know the G3 doesn't support Quick Charge, but does LG have their own form of rapid charging or anything? Using even the standard charger on this thing is brutally slow sometimes. Mine charges decently quickly, are you using a 2amp charger? Most old chargers will charge brutally slow.

Can't you set it on Vibrate or None instead of Priority?

Say I wanted to buy a Moto X and use it on Verizon. Do I select the Verizon version, or the Pure version? What is the difference between the two? The screen on my Droid Maxx HD has a crack, and I'm thinking the 2015 X might be a good upgrade when it eventually hits. Assuming I can get similar battery life to the Maxx HD, because I'm rather enjoying not having to plug in at all during the day.

If it doesn't say Verizon all over the phone, you can't use it on Verizon.

SIR FAT JONY IVES posted:Comically enough, I've been studying casual interactions non-sperglords in social settings. Turns out most people have no idea about phone updates, and the few phones of people that did get them, hate how "they changed everything". Does Not Compute. Normal people don't learn to use a computer, not really. They learn how to do things on a computer, so when that computer changes, they have to relearn the specific actions they had memorized. You can see the same thing with Windows 8. It has problems, sure, but the start screen is essentially just a new format for the start menu - however, what most people can't get past is the start screen. I've showed a bunch of people the basics of W8 and how the start screen works, and invariably they don't mind the new stuff once it's explained. Essentially, baby duck syndrome is a motherfucker.

An Apple iPad 10 watt charger is doing a much better job according to Ampere. Seems like an Amazon Kindle USB cable is doing better than the included LG cable was also. Maybe I just need to buy a new charger and cable?  Edit: Even this one is dropping to 10 mA and just sitting there though. Is this possibly a phone defect?

Haha, nevermind, the reason it's only charging at a rate of 10 mA is because it's discharging at like 4500 mA for some loving reason.

It's not a Nexus 6 thing, it's a Lollipop thing. As sort of mentioned a few posts back, the best way to deal with it is when you're looking at the volume slider, choose None and then either choose Indefinitely or assign it a certain number of hours. It's more trouble than it used to be, but it's probably less trouble than sending your wife a text every day saying "Ok, don't text me for the next two hours."

Hi everyone, just a couple of small questions for those of you in the know  I started to download the new Mortal Kombat game on my HTC One M8. The download completed, but when it started to 'download additional files' the phone told me that there was no more space. I now have the feeling that the game is taking up space somewhere on my phone, but since it never finished installing I can't see it anywhere. Is there any way I can find the incomplete file anywhere and get my space back? On a similar note, I have an SD card with plenty of space. How can I set the phone to automatically save apps there instead of the main phone storage? The main storage has almost 8GB in 'other' which I assume is the OS, and 6GB in apps (which doesn't quite add up). Thanks! henpod fucked around with this message at 10:38 on May 8, 2015 |

The standard battery info isn't being much help. Google stuffed all the interesting battery information in system-only space (it's not enough to be rooted, the battery profiler itself has to be a system app as well) back in KitKat. Also that ad at that moment has gotta sting.

This is a very wrong post. For one thing Google has always had a policy of never, ever selling user data. For another thing, many of the permissions controls have little or nothing to do with collecting user data. Aspects of this change have been rumored / leaked for years now, it's clearly something Google has in fact been working on.

So my car quick charger is here and it's not bad. But I discovered the cable I was using is lovely, since it went in and out a bunch (charging and then not charging). When I used the cord that came with my wall charger it worked fine. The phone gets super hot with it but basically qc of any kind heats up pretty good. I need a new cord. Any suggestions? There are about 4 million on Amazon alone. Normally I'd just go for a monoprice or Amazon basics or whatever but I don't know with qc if it makes a difference. The Motorola one is nice.

Wirecutter actually did a writeup comparing charging abilities of different USB cables, and the Amazon was their #2 but also doesn't have the ferrite core to get in the way so I'd say it's the favourite.

I guess this is the right place to ask this question. Is there a way that I play the video content that I've purchased on iTunes on my Android devices? I've done some Googling, and come up with a bunch of shady options. I tried DoubleTwist, but that seems to be music only, videos are more difficult.
