Hi All, I'm thinking of acquiring Moto G5 Plus' for my wife and myself. There are two versions: 32GB storage, 2GB RAM and 64GB storage, 4GB RAM. They currently go for $230 and $300, respectively. Not concerned about storage, as they take a µSD card and we have 64GB cards, already. Neither...

Google's Project Fi claims that, on its network, devices will hand off seamlessly between carriers and Wifi. E.g.: You can have a call in-progress while connected to a TMO tower and switch to WiFi calling without dropping the connection. Near as I've been able to tell, from end-user reports...

My ASUS ZenWatch 2, all of a few months old, appears to have gone mute. Noticed it last night when I put it on the charger and it didn't chime like it usually does. Can't find anything in the settings, either on the watch or in the Android Wear app, to address this. (Though I did notice...

Excerpt: Full article: Moto and Updates: More Planned Obsolesce from Lenovo’s Motorola

Motorola, please include Moto G (3rd Gen) for Android Nougat Update (Change.Org) I haven't signed it (yet?) because I'm not certain I actually want Lenovorola to do this. Unless Nougat on the G3 also adds VoLTE (and, preferably, WiFi calling) on T-Mobile: ISTM they'd likely induce more...

Over in OK Google acknowledgement tone, it was written: CM used to be the most highly-regarded cleaner. I'd removed the full version, long ago, when, after "improvement" after "improvement," it became annoying and I began to suspect it was doing more harm than good. I've tried CM Lite...

Original article: Report: No monthly updates for latest Motorola phone models Given the frequency of "scheduled maintenance releases," probably best not to hold your breath. My next device will being a Nexus is looking increasingly likely.

Somehow I was under the impression that Android N would have VoLTE and WiFi calling baked-in, but, searching on "Android N", "Android 7", "VoLTE" and "WiFi calling" combinations: I get nothing. Was this a figment of my fevered imagination?

Hi There, My wife's Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1, running an outdated version of CyanogenMod (the maintainer bailed, quite some time ago) looks like it's dead. She remembered seeing a Costco advert for a clearance on a Lenovo tablet running "Pure Android." So last night I began my research...

Well, I've poked-around in the watch and in the Android Wear app, but no joy. How do I enable an hourly "get up and move" notification that fires when it senses you've been sitting too long? Thanks, Jim

Just stopped by a local Best Buy to check out a ZenWatch 2 in real life. All they had was the 45mm version, but I'm glad I went to the trouble, because, after trying that on, I think I'd find the 49mm annoyingly large. The 45mm fit perfectly. Here's my question: Battery life/run-time: You...

Wasn't even aware of the ZenWatch. Tripped across it, by accident, a couple days ago. I'm going to have to try one on for size, but, if it fits, it looks like the smart watch I've been waiting for. Question, though: I saw a comment relating to another smart watch + phone where available...

Count my wife and I amongst the "very satisfied." Full article: Which mobile data provider is best? (And will you make a switch?) (Speaking of data speeds: Was searching on something when my wife and I were out at lunch, yesterday. Observed I had a full four bars of LTE. Did a speed test...

Well, Google: Congratulations. Back when I had my HTC Sensation 4G, Google Play Services was a constant battery drain annoyance. So I essentially shut off every battery-sucking Google-related feature and service I could, hobbling all the Wonderful Google Features™, just so the phone would make...

This is execrable behaviour on the part of GoGo, and I really think T-Mobile should distance themselves from them: Gogo Inflight Internet is intentionally issuing fake SSL certificates Note how T-Mobile's name is prominently displayed in that article. Not good.

With the new pricing, the Pebble is beginning to look interesting. Wish it had heart rate monitoring (say, from a Polar or other chest strap), but, otherwise, looks like one would do what I need. Thing is: I looked at the Android app on the Play Store. From the rating and comments: Doesn't...

With my HTC Sensation 4G I could select to "share" a contact via SMS or MMS (as well as other methods). (Tho, IIRC, trying to do it with SMS would [usually?] fail.) But my Moto G (2013) gives me no such option. Anybody know why that is?

Somehow I just knew it was too good to be true: A smartphone that is reasonably priced and performs well. There had to be a fly in the ointment. And there is. And it's a pretty darn big fly. Ever since the update to Android 4.4.3, it would seem, some Moto G (2013) phones have had a nasty...

Ref: Report: Iliad sets deadline of mid-October to make improved T-Mobile bid

Hi All, Just got a Moto G (2013) LTE a couple days ago. Last night I fired-up Google Now. It's... interesting and amusing, but... Two things concern me: Data and battery demands. Data: I'm on T-Mobile and have 1GB of 4G. Then I get throttled to 2G. If Google Now is constantly nattering to...
