I don't know if this is a 3T or generic Android problem, so I'll start here. About a month ago, I started getting an error message every time I'd go in or out of the built in message app. I've verified that the messages were sent and rec'd despite the error. Have tried clearing cache for...

Now I'm starting to search for a good case. I'm a woman with relatively small hands, so am a little concerned about the size and need a good grip. I did buy a Ringke case ahead of time, mostly because it has a spot to attach a wrist strap which I'm used to for the extra security. I'd like to...

Are there any "gottchas" I should know first? Things that fall under the "oh, you shouldn't have done that" category? Like when I got the Nexus one of the first warning was don't close the sim drawer if it's empty because if there is no sim in it it's virtually impossible to open again. Does...

The OnePlus site offers insurance from Assurant. I've never heard of them; I've used Square Trade in the past. Actually I didn't buy any for my Nexus, but the phone wouldn't have been as expensive to replace. For my previous phones, I bought coverage with the carrier when I bought the phone...

I think it's getting to be time to consider replacing my N4. Not only is the GPS getting randomly flaky - sometimes it goes out for no reason and then while driving it comes back on. (In the same suburban area where I've been driving with it for years). Now the Bluetooth periodically doesn't...

I've been looking for a while for a new phone and am close to pushing the purchase button on a 3T, but have a few questions first. I currently have an aging Nexus 4; I happily skipped several new Nexus phones and then when I heard about the then upcoming Pixel decided to hold out for that...

I like to use Waze on my commutes to work. The other day, it started telling me "no GPS" and also telling me to try going outdoors. it worked fine on my way into work, but not on my way home. Restarting etc didn't change anything. GPS Toolkit also just spins endlessly. Google maps does not...

2.5 yr old Nexus 4, running 5.1.1 I'm encountering this problem more often. I can't remember when it started, because at first it was infrequent enough not to be a pattern. Phone will be acting find, and I set it aside where it shuts itself off. When I go to use it again, it doesn't respond...

Currently running 5.1.1 . Today I noticed I have an update available for download. I wasn't expecting any updates. I figured with Marshmallow coming out, we wouldn't get one, so I haven't been paying much attention to the forums. Can anyone tell me what it is for and will it cause any...

Somehow through experimenting, I got a photograph associated with a contact. I don't remember how (other than the photo was texted to me, so I probably did it from within the message app), and now I cannot figure how to delete that photograph. Unfortunately, it is a photo of a friend while he...

OK, I realize this is like a phones 101 question, but I don't understand the electronics well enough to risk my trusty N4 esp since the replacement costs so much more. Someone at work "borrowed" (hmmph) my charger last week and I haven't seen it since. I want to get another one, preferably in...

T-Mobile Offering 200MB of Free Monthly Data for All Tablets | News & Opinion | PCMag.com Someone posted somewhere about this a while back. I am considering getting a new tablet and was thinking that one with a data capability might be nice. (My electricity, and hence router, go out periodically...

I'm contemplating getting a Nexus 7. (I don't know why - I have a 10" Toshiba Thrive that I rarely use, but I like the idea of having a larger version of my Nexus 4). So since the holidays are coming, not to mention Black Friday, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good deals on them...

I posted about this once before, but on the last day of the sale. This week I discovered it on the first day, so I'm passing it along since there seem to be quite a few people on the $30 prepaid plan. Target.com (and presumably the brick and mortar stores) has T-Mobile cards on sale this week...

This may be a simple question - but how would I record sounds on my Nexus 4? Is there a built in function? Or do I need an app (if so, which do you recommend)? I'm not talking music or anything major. Truthfully, I want to get a snippet of my dogs howling, because it's funny (at least to me) :D.

A while back on some forum (likely my Nexus 4 one), there was a discussion about changes in Facebook - that it was giving itself the ability to update itself without the user knowing or OK'ing it, bypassing Google Play. At the time people recommended just not to update. I'm still running...

I have Waze (navigation) on my phone and up until a month ago, I didn't have any problems with it. It's set up to play thru the phone's speaker; I tried early on to get it to go thru Bluetooth to the car radio, but couldn't figure it out. I have a 2011 Hyundai Tucson, if that matters. About a...

At least in MD. I was there yesterday and noticed that apparently the sale had been running all week, ending Saturday 8/3. I bought a $30 for about $1.50 off, and then used my Target "red card" for another 5%. So I figured I'd pass it along in case it helps anyone out. I've still been undecided...

This was mentioned in another thread about a stuck phone that I didn't want to hijack. This sounds like it's worth doing as a "just in case" I ever need it, although to be honest, I'm not quite sure yet what it enables. I figured it would be something in settings, but nothing there jumps out...

I realize this isn't strictly Nexus related, but since I have one on the $30 prepaid T-mobile plan, I figured I asked here. I'd never considered doing this, but I saw it being discussed in another thread and it got me curious. I'm assuming that T-Mobile isn't gonna tack an additional 6% tax on...
