kri kri posted:This must be it since I use GV and hangouts and I can't tell at all who is in a group, and I can't really add people to a group message reliably. In a lot of ways I really wish the GVoice app was its own ecosystem. LIke inside the app it would have everything google voice. messages, dialer, call log, voicemail, etc. Hangouts should be the same way, Lync should be the same way, etc. The number of places I have to check for SMS/MMS/messaging depending on how they come in is insane.

Eejit posted:Any particular recommendations on qi charging pads? I'm sure the $8 ones do as good as the $20 ones, but are any of the $8 ones better than the rest? Itian A6. Three coil, puts the device in a position where you can appreciate Daydream or watch a thing easily. Don't know of any multi-coil $8 ones, and not having to fidget with the device to get it charging right is worth $10.

I just picked up an s6 and while I'm pleased with it overall, I'd like to remove the brightness slider from the notification tray. I clicked the pencil icon that lets you edit the order of the toggles that appear, but I didn't see anything that addresses my issue.

At least it's not an LG, where (on some carrier versions only, hah) neither the brightness slider nor volume slider can be removed, so half of your notification shade is taken up with toggles and sliders.

Coincidentally, on some carrier versions the Touchwiz brightness slider can be disabled. There doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason as to why on some models you can and can't on others.

Anybody have advice when it comes to battery replacement? I have a Galaxy S3 that's about a year and a half old, and the battery life has been noticeably worse the past few months. I assumed I would just get a Samsung replacement, but a quick search on Google brings up alternatives, specifically one made by Anker. The reviews are great, but I was hoping for a second opinion.

Do it, the battery life is the S3's Achilles' heel. A replacement battery is smarter than a battery case, but either one really help.

Apparently the HTC One M8 is $300 from Best Buy. I'm kind of tempted to get it, my Nexus 5 has been hard locking every other day, usually while I'm watching videos on the bus, and it's starting to piss me off. I've already tried a factory reset, and I feel I shouldn't have to unlock, root, and run some other ROM just to have my phone work. How well has the One M8 held up after a year? It seems like an acceptable "sidegrade" to hold me over.

Anybody else having problems with the Nexus 6? I went back to using one and wondering if I got a bum unit from Motorola. Wifi issues all the drat time. Google apps crashing constantly. Didn't have the problem when I had my first Nexus 6. Hey at least the voicemail notification works on Verizon now.

Heads up for anyone who takes advantage of Google Opinion Rewards - just got a no-credit survey asking me if I'd ever been to "Kelp's Wild Water Slides." Since I wanted to lie convincingly, I did a search for it before starting the survey. There's no such place. Seems they're trying to find liars.

Or you could just not lie. It'd certainly be a lot easier. If the extra four to ten dollars per year you would have earned from lying is so important, just skip a single loving lunch.

Did they send the N5's second 5.1.0 build out OTA? I just checked the factory images page since I saw the guy with the N9 screenshot and wondered if they rolled out one for my 5 and noticed there were two builds for 5.1.0 on the Nexus 5 - LMY47D and LMY47I. Checked my phone and it says I have LMY47D.  Bob A Feet posted:Welcome to every Verizon phone ever.

who cares if there's more than one app for the same thing. Just use the one that you like and ignore or disable if possible the rest. I mean, sure it's better if there isn't redundant apps, but lol if that has more than the tiniest weight in your phone choice. I can see it being a bigger issue for clueless techno phones, but not for people who post in this thread.

My phone choices are absent any droid-branded phones because of poo poo like Verizon expecting people to pay $5 monthly for GPS navigation. They were bad enough with landline phone service, but that was just billing fuckups. The extent to which they abuse -and yet retain- their customers makes me question the long-term validity of anyone recommending a droid-series phone. That said, what makes the droid turbo such a go-to recommendation?

One of those 'if it's not broken for you don't need it' fixes. They probably got it ota I didn't bother flashing it at the time and had completely forgotten about it till I checked that page too

How much Verizon bloatware you get seems to depend on the phone. I have a 2014 Moto X and my brother has a Droid Turbo, and he has more bloatware than I do. The X has like 5 VZ apps on it and NFL Mobile while the Turbo had a number of other things. Disabled them all upon activation and it's been roses since.

Is the fact that people have nudes on their phones so accepted these days that it's commonly discussed in this way? These millennials may be more liberated and free than the hippie generation.
