    Anybody got one yet?

    I have one and have been using it as a Lenovo replacement at work for about 3 weeks. I'm very happy with the batter life and the weight. The keyboard is comfortable and not too loud, and the Horizon VM app lets me do everything I need to do. It's also kind of a head-turner. My entire company...

    Best Cases for the Samsung Galaxy S8+

    Any chance that there is a case that works well with Gear VR? Taking my phone out of the OB every time I want to use it is frustrating!

    Hangouts Won't Release My SMS

    I have started new threads in Messenger, and when replies come in they go straight to Hangouts. I have deleted the Handouts messages, and the replies go straight to Hangouts. NOTE: I should probably state that I am a Project Fi customer.

    Hangouts Won't Release My SMS

    I used Hangouts as my default SMS app for a while. Now I'd like to go back to Messenger, but try as I might I cannot get the messages to go to Messenger. I have changed the default app countless numbers of times, deactivated Hangouts, cleared memory/cache, and even reset the phone - but all...

    Allo vs Pixel Assistant

    I haven't really found any use for Allo on Nexus 5X that cannot be done better using Now On Tap. Unless its integrated better with the entire system on a Pixel - with new functionality especially, then I don't really see a purpose for the app.

    No security updates since Nov 2015, and no Marshmallow update. How can I tell what is causing this?

    I ended up using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit to flash the new update straight from Google's servers. It was super easy and I didn't have to use a command prompt! [Toolkit] Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v2.1.4 [U… | Nexus 6

    What do you use Chrome or ........

    Old thread? Maybe. I use Chrome on every computer I own/use. I have installed the portable version on my work computer, I use it on my Nexus 6, I used it on my Windows 7 PC, and now I have a Chromebook. I have forgotten what its like to have to update things like Flash! I am a...

    Is the Moto X 1st gen (2013) still worth it?

    At home on WiFi, or anywhere I have strong cell signal, my battery is still as strong as day 1 - which was 13 months ago. At work where I get no signal and there is no WiFi the battery is gone by EOB. The system specs are fine unless you're going to try to emulate PS3 games. There is no lag on...

    Anything I can do if my charging port is broke?

    Wireless chargers would still need to access the port, so not really.

    Can't upgrade to JB.

    I have tried to upgrade to JB 4 times on my D4; each time I get about 20% in and the upgrade fails. The phone resets with no changes and I get an error message saying that the update failed with no explanation. I did a full factory reset and attempted the upgrade again with no luck. I pulled the...

    JB update failing on each attempt.

    My wife and I both have D4s. Hers updated over the weekend with no problems. Mine gets about 20% done and then fails. I don't have root, but I restored to factory settings twice and retried; each time I had the same outcome. I then booted into recovery and cleared cache, but no dice. Tried 4...
