I downloaded an app called CPU Temp. I enabled high temperature warnings, and in the couple weeks I've had my Note 5 I have had a number of high temperature warnings---usually stating that the temperature is 70 - 73 Celsius. As far as I can tell it usually happens when it is charging on my TYLT...

So excited! Friday I finally got my Note 5. As noted above, I've been using a flip phone for the past 12 years. I started looking at Samsung's Note series when Note 3 was released. I always intended to buy one, but just kept putting it off because I'm very frugal. My flip phone finally died, so...

I have been an admirer of the Note line for a long time (back to Note 2, shortly before Note 3 was released). I've been wanting to buy one for a long time and think I'll finally do so. Obviously, I can delay gratification since I've waited this long. So what is the upside of pre-ordering? The...

I know that Google has a products forum for their Nexus products, but is there something similar for their OS? Specifically, is there some sort of forum (or other format) where people can report issues with Lollipop since updating?

Just wondering how many of you use the S-Pen and find it helpful. What do you use it for?

Lollipop has a feature which allows you to keep your phone unlocked when paired with a Bluetooth device (aka, "trusted device"). The only trusted devices I've heard of that work reliably are Bluetooth in your car, Bluetooth headsets (or possibly speakers), and smart watches. Has anyone come up...

Does anyone use the Samsung folio case (S-View) with wireless charging built in? If so, how do you like it. I know a lot of people don't care for folio cases, but I do. I really didn't want the S-View, as I would prefer it if there were no cutouts in the case. Maybe someone can tell me more...

How reliable and efficient is the Note 4 for phone calls and texts---two of the more basic functions of an android phone, but not things we can take for granted will work smoothly. Is the Note 4 pretty dependable? Decent signal strength? What about call clarity (on both ends)? Although its many...

Some are reporting that the random rebooting/restarting of their phones has been fixed by 5.1. Others say it is continuing as before. Who continues to have rebooting issues? Has anyone had them in the past, but not now? Did 5.1 help? Did you exchange for another phone? Did you turn off certain...

I read elsewhere that someone was having problems wirelessly charging their N6 since updating to 5.1. He said that the Tylt Vu and other qi chargers were not trickle charging since the update, and blamed it on the phone not the charger. Anyone else experienced this?

Or, more specifically, why is it recommended that a factory reset be done after an update rather than before?

Who has seen the latest Android commercial with the unlikely animal pairs (e.g., orangutan and dog, elephant with sheep. cat with baby ducks)? I may have my doubts about Lollipop still, but I like this commercial. (I also liked the one where a phone rings and eventually a little cartoon guy...

Have any of you who have had to return the Nexus 6 and get a replacement had a screen protector already installed? Then you have to buy another one? If it's a name brand glass scree protector, that can be a substantial loss. The reason I'm asking is that when/if I get the N6, I would like to...

I've been reading a lot about how developers need to update their apps to work with Android Lollipop. I don't have a technical understanding of what the change is, but I understand that there has been a major change in how the OS works with the Lollipop release. I have a tablet which I still...

I have been in the habit of turning off my phone at night to charge. Does anyone else do that? It seems like most people rarely reboot their phone, much less turn it off. Is there some reason I should not do so? I still have a land line, so in an emergency I can be reached; if I didn't, I...

I've been ready to step up to an Android phone, as i've really enjoyed my Android tablet and see how I would enjoy having an Android phone with me at all times. At first, I was interested in one of the Samsung Notes, as I like the big screen and included stylus. However, as I learned more, I...

The following is a quote from the Google Product Forums, in the thread that Benjamin started about the reboot problems so many were experiencing (and, despite his report that they have stopped on his phone, many are continuing to have). Apparently the issue is the bootloader/kernel. One...

I'm planning to get a Nexus 6 from AT&T soon. I do not want to buy their overpriced protection plan, but would like some form of insurance for my new phone. Where would you recommend I go to get this? Square Trade? Does Motorola allow you to buy their protection plan if you don't buy the phone...

Before completing the purchase at Motorola, I need an answer to a question. I want to add the Motorola insurance/protection plan to my cart. However, I can only do that if I sign up for Google*, which I have deliberately avoided doing until now. I then figured out I could set up the account with...

Is there a way to make your phone automatically turn off data when you arrive home (since would then be using wifi and don't have unlimited data). Even better would be if you could also make it turn data on when you leave home.
