    No update yet - still showing September security patch - but my P3 stock launcher reset itself overnight while plugged in and on Wi-Fi. Pages gone, folders gone, all back to initial icon setup with Google news feed to the left. Apps are still in the drawer and no data loss, apparently. Only...

    P3 - How to Trust Unknown sources

    Help please: I need to install an app not available from the Play Store. On past Android phones there was an option, usually under Security, to "Trust Unknown Sources." I cannot find it on my Pixel 3. The APK downloads and gives me the option to open it with Android Installer, which does...

    Emailing Google Photos on P3

    My previous HTC and LG phones allowed me to reduce file size when emailing or texting photos, so I could send 250k instead of the 10 MB original, for example. I am using Google Photos and cannot find an option to reduce file size when sending photos. Am I just not finding it or do they expect me...

    Pixel 3 OOBE - Beware!

    :eek: Read this and save yourself an hour of headache with your new Pixel 3: Pixel 3 arrived today (White, 128 Gb) and the Out of Box Experience was a great disappointment. Last year, I ordered the new Pixel 2 and returned during the 2-week return window because it would not work with my...

    Sadly, I am returning my U11 to HTC

    This is a 7.30.2017 update to the original post, below. Unfortunately, this thread seems to have morphed into complaints about refunds and questioning HTC, generally. My comments about the design/engineering decisions made by HTC were just that. In my 7 years of using only HTC phones, I have...

    Screenshots are difficult

    Is it just us, or is there a problem with hardware or implementation of the screenshot feature? A friend and I just got the G6 and neither of us is able to execute screen shots consistently, after trying without a case and trying multiple combinations of the two buttons. The manual says - from...

    Mobile Hotspot - Device Driver

    Edited by poster. Mobile Hotspot works fine. When activated, the DNA said, "Turning off Wi-Fi" and I took that to mean that it was using bluetooth, so turned off laptop Wi-Fi and turned on laptop bluetooth. Voila, user error!

    Bluetooth Headsets - Which Ones Work with the DNA, and Which Ones Don't?

    One of my very few disappointments with the DNA is that my old headset - Plantronics 510 Voyager - will not accurately make voice-dialed calls. It called flawlessly on my Incredible, but appears to select random contacts when used with the DNA - seriously, three consecutive tries get three...
