That's the thing... NEED a new phone: no, my old S6 is running fine and in mint condition. But WANT...much different story, ha ha.

Hey guys, what's your opinion on how long it takes for the price to come down on these? So like if you wait 2-3 months, some better deals will be out? WalMart is giving $150 off today only...trying to decide if it's worth it to wait or not.. Thanks!

For me the last few years, its been all about the camera. Seems that is one of the only differentiating factors left these days. If the camera is in the same league as my Samsung Galaxy S6, I would definitely be interested in making a change to try something different.

I've had HTC Incredible, Samsung Galaxies (S4 and S6) and even Motorola Razr and Bionic (this alone should be enough for the pity vote)....but never the pure Google of a Nexus experience. Thank you! D

I also did safe mode a couple of times with no improvement. Finally broke down and did a reset and it's all back to normal. I haven't done a reset in a long time anyway.... Posted via the Android Central App

Yeah I REALLY don't want to do a factory reset yet....but I will if it goes a couple more days Posted via the Android Central App

SOO annoying! It was happening most often to me when in Clash of Clans (don't hate). I finally uninstalled and reinstalled....it was peaceful for maybe 15-20 minutes, then its back.

Wellllll, at least for a little while....its at it again... Do you recommend a particular adware scanner? Might as well try that.

Me too, diddy, but I downloaded the AVG product and the scan turned up nothing. I ended up uninstalling updates to the play store and that has stopped the issue. Must have also been that new play store update not playing nice as well.

As the title says, my play store app is now opening randomly and interrupting whatever i'm trying to open but not to a specific app or anything. Its just opening to an "item not found / retry" page. Seems to be since this latest security patch from VZW over the weekend. I've cleared cache and...

Larry, I can't BELIEVE I didn't see that.... /facepalm. I've been loathe to go back to the stock app because it almost always gets bogged down in a particular group text of 6 people that I have. I wish Hangouts and Messenger had that setting...or better yet, a system-level toggle! Oh well...

Has anyone found a way stop the blasted pop-up SMS/MMS notifications? I know its a 'feature' of lollipop, but I can't stand it. Touchwiz doesn't have the 'interruptions' settings I've read about that works. And the messaging apps, both stock, Hangouts and Google Messenger have no special option...

Fall in Tennessee. Field trip with my son's class to the Cheekwood Botanical Gardens in Nashville. Taken with GS4 HDR mode, tweaked just a little with Snapseed.

Background structure is an old radio tower south of Nashville, TN in Brentwood. It was the tower used by WSM back in the day. (Foreground: simple flagpole at the Brentwood public library). Photo taken in mid-May with a Galaxy S4, edited (to look rather ominous) with Snapseed.
