Just confirming the obvious here. My 4a5G took a very brief dunk into the lake, as in no more than 5 seconds but that is all it took. I left it in rice for 3 days and once there was no more moisture in the cameras I fired it up. The boot screen message said the Android system was corrupt and to...

Yesterday was a lazy, YouTube, Facebook, surfing kind of day, away from wifi. I got just over 8 hours of SOT. Normally with less use I will charge my phone every second day.

We bought our Pixel 5 new from our carrier. When we went to set up Google Pay and add our credit card, someone else's address was already in the address field. Thoughts? Edit, the address points to a hotel . . .

I'm experimenting with using extreme battery saver as a Do Not Disturb alternative in our P5 and P4a 5G. Essentially you can configure it to allow whatever apps you want or not to run in the background and send you notifications. This might combine DND along with awesome battery life.

We have all three of these phones in our family. My university aged daughter replaced her BlackBerry Keyone with the 4a. My wife's BlackBerry Keyone was in desperate need of replacing and my Pixel 2XL has neared the end of updates. If you've seen my posts I've been very wary of the Pixel 5 due...

I'm looking at an S20 or an S20FE to replace my Pixel 2XL. I was looking at the Pixel 5 but the lackluster speakers are turning me away. I'm not a gamer so I really don't care about processor and things like that, but what I really care about is camera, including low light, and the overall UI...

Google support forums show I'm not the only one. The solution is to boot in safe mode and triage which app might be causing the issue. If not they suggest a factory reset. To me that's a copout. Phone was fine until the update. Pixel 2XL

Anyone else notice that the price of the 4a is $479 on Google but carriers choose a full price of $560, less a "discount" to bring it back down to $480?

Title should read App Drawer. . . Using gesture navigation, how do you quickly access the app drawer when you're already in an app? IIRC, on Android 10 it was a swipe up to minimize the app and another swipe up to the app drawer. This no longer seems to be the case.

So I have the March update. Google Pay does indeed come up as an option when you press the power button. In my case it shows my most used credit card. HOWEVER, when I used it today the phone was locked. And it allowed me to pay without using my PW or my fingerprint. That is not a good thing...

I'm trying the gestures on Android 10. I think I'm a lost cause. I've kept muscle memory from both Android Pie and BB10. My swipes and gestures are all over the place! Lol.

Glitch or feature?

Hello all, It seems lately that my phone screen stays on during a call. Is there a setting for this? Perhaps it is the proximity sensor malfunctioning; is there an app to test this?

On my 2 XL, when I ask Google to read me my last text message it always responds that there are no new messages. Is this normal? I thought it used to read them. Pretty sure I have the relevant permissions enabled.

I'm a runner and I was browsing race calculators. I ended up on omnicalculator.com, used a calculator and moved on. Now I have an Omni calculator installed among my apps. I'm 99% sure I did not give permission for it to install. What settings do I check to ensure this doesn't happen?

From time to time while I browse my Google feed or randomly on the web, I get a spoken voice warning that my battery is low along with a redirect to the following as in the screenshot below I don't have any cleaner or battery saver apps, I haven't visited any risky websites. Advice?

. . .is a disappointment. I bought it assuming I'd be able to cast pics from my phone to my TV at the cottage or in a hotel room where I don't have wifi, especially at the cottage. First, the phone (Pixel 2 XL) cannot screen mirror without wifi, and casting within apps is unpredictable. The...

I updated the camera app and noticed this option. Was it always there and I missed it or is it new?

Edit: never mind. Seems to be a problem on my backup phone as well now. Must be a network or sim issue. I was in the middle of a call when it suddenly disconnected. I thought maybe dead zone so I moved, but it turns out it is the phone. The sim card works in my other phone but not my Pixel 2...

Is there a way to wake the phone up when using always on display besides using the fingerprint scanner or the power button? I would like to double tap or swipe the screen but neither works.
