    Good bye all

    I liked my G7, but kept having issues with built in features working then not working, and the lack of timely security updates have made decide to change. Since the rest of my family is on Apple products I have just ordered an iPhone 11. I know it will be a learning curve and I’m a little...

    So recently I needed to reset my phone, and as luck would have it at the same time I received the April Security update. Since that time my Context Awareness has not been working. Normally I would set it up to do things like turn off my WiFi when I leave the house, and to put my phone on...

    Does the G7 Have a dark theme?

    So I've been using the Microsoft Launcher for some time and really began to like the dark theme. Unfortunately I noticed that my battery life on the G7 with the Microsoft Launcher was really bad so moved back to the default LG Launcher, which I don't have a problem with, however I can't seem to...

    Camera question

    Ok so I had to take a new picture for work, and isn't it funny I never seem to pick up the nice digital camera I once had to have and instead both my wife and I grabbed our phones. So my wife naturally used her phone first (iphone 8+) and the picture was very grainy. I then had her use my G7...

    Which Wireless Chargers work best

    This is my first phone that supports wireless charging, yes I know how amazing right. I was wondering what chargers people were using. I think I prefer the stand up kind vice the lay flat kind, but I'm open to opinions in either direction.

    Screen protector or no screen protector

    So when I bought the phone the T-Mobile store I was at was out of screen protectors for the G7. That has led me to think with Gorilla Glass 5 does it truly need one? What seems to be the consensus here?

    New G7 user

    G7 or V40?

    I've been on the fence with the G7 for awhile now and wanted to wait until the V40 came out. Now I'm even more undecided than before. I've read most of the posts on this forum for the G7, and watched most of the video reviews and I'm left with a few concerns / questions I'm hoping those of you...

    How do you hold & merge calls?

    I is my phone work and often have need to hold a call or to merge two calls together. There used to be a hold button on the phone app but it no longer seems to be there with the newest release of Android. Was this feature dropped or has it been moved somewhere else?

    How serious is the light bleed issue

    I currently have the Moto Z Force, and have been thinking of switching to the LG G7 for the Quad Dac, always on display, and the camera. I've read a lot about the phone including some some reports of light bleed issues with the screen. These all seem to be dated from June so I was wondering is...

    How to use the Turbo Charger

    I normally put my phone on the charger before I go to bed, and let it charge overnight. With these turbo chargers that supposedly fully charge the phone in just a few hours does it hurt to leave it on charge all night?

One thing I've been unable to figure out so far is the gmail icon on my phone doesn't show new mail. I have my live account also configured and that mail icon show me the number of...

    Question about Moto Apps

    I'm new to Motorola / Lenovo and haven't used Android for a long time. I've been trying to set up my phone and was doing some playing around with the Moto apps. The Moto voice sounds interesting especially since it reminds me of Cortana for Windows phones. So I went through the setup process...
