    Internet & apps that use data are super slow.

    I got the phone from a Verizon store. But it was an "authorized retailer" Verizon store.

    Internet & apps that use data are super slow.

    I was thinking the same thing, so I was simply going to switch my phone to 4G. But surprisingly, this phone does not allow you to do that. There is no "preferred network" in any of the settings. There's only the option to toggle "automatically select network" on or off, which leads the phone to...

    Internet & apps that use data are super slow.

    I've had this phone for 6 months and it's been fine. But starting a week ago, going online or navigating apps that use data, is a slow painful process. Even though it is showing 4-5 bars and 5G, it feels like I'm using a phone in 2007. Now, the strange thing is.. when the phone switches to "4G...

    Why are there random screen shots of my home screen in Google photos?

    If you check under "details" of a photo, you get the exact day and time it was taken. Because of this, I know exactly what I was doing when these screen shots were taken and it definitely wasn't putting my phone in a case. I might have to call Verizon .

    Why are there random screen shots of my home screen in Google photos?

    No one else has even touched this phone except for the sales rep before I bought it. Also, I live alone.

    Why are there random screen shots of my home screen in Google photos?

    I always disabled Google photos on my previous phones. But on this phone, however, there is no native photo gallery. You are forced to use Google photos. I guess I could download a 3rd party app, but there are many reasons I don't ever want to do that.

    Why are there random screen shots of my home screen in Google photos?

    I know one other person that has it. But it seems like no one on the internet does, there's not even a forum for it here.

    Why are there random screen shots of my home screen in Google photos?

    That would be highly unlikely because I'd have to have my screen open to do so. Also, I have it set were it locks after 2 minutes of activity.

    Why are there random screen shots of my home screen in Google photos?

    Going in to my library in Google photos, in the screen shots section, I noticed two screen shots of my home screen that were taken from various times. One was on a day I was at work, and the other was taken when I was sleeping. There is no way I could've accidentally taken these screen shots...

    Why can't I use the Full Screen mode on such a massive phone?

    Thanks I haven't thought of that, and I'll try it. Im just not sure why they would even give you the option to put YouTube on full screen mode. They even show you an example of how it would look in the settings menu. I would much rather have a smaller phone than to have all this unused space...

    Why can't I use the Full Screen mode on such a massive phone?

    I'm still trying to get used to how gigantic this phone is, every time I look at it. I only have a couple days left before I can return it, so I'm trying to find reasons to love the huge, self-indulgent screen. I watch alot of YouTube and I thought, that massive screen would be perfect for...

    How do I set the sms tone from messaging app?

    Thanks B. Diddy, that worked. Surprised that such a simple task has so many steps on a brand new phone. Thanks again.

    How do I set the sms tone from messaging app?

    Usually, you can tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner within the messaging app to change the sms tone. But when I do that, the option simply isn't there. I do have the option to change the default notification sound from "sound settings", but I only want to change the sms tone. Any help...

    Was there a camera update?

    Recently I opened the camera app to edit a photo and it was completely different. It even had a one time tutorial like on a new phone. I'm not complaining, it's pretty cool but I'm not sure where this came from all of a sudden. There's nothing in the phone's "update history". ..Anyone else?

    Suddenly very slow data and bad cellular service

    Thank you. Just tried that and then I restarted the phone. But it didn't change anything. I'll attempt to talk to Verizon again.

    Suddenly very slow data and bad cellular service

    My phone has been working great for the past 2 years then suddenly within the past week, internet has become so slow that pages time out before they can load. And cellular sevice drops calls and I can't send or receive some texts. I called Verizon but while the rep was running a diagnostics, the...

    Why is it so hard to share music or change the artist's name in the music player?

    I have searched for them. What I found so far are apps that can edit the song information by searching and finding artist information that is already on the web.

    Why is it so hard to share music or change the artist's name in the music player?

    You are right.. It's definitely odd you can't simply change the artist's name in WMP, but you can't. I guess it wasn't designed for original artists like me and what we're trying to do. Just a cold hard fact I gotta deal with. Thanks for the suggestion of Media Monkey, I'll check it out. But I...
