I know I can get dozens of results if I just search for "Benchmark" in the Google Play store, but which ones are the recommended/good ones for both testing the raw performance of the phone and for testing gaming performance?

I have a LG G8 with T-Mobile (formally was with Sprint) although the phone itself I am pretty sure is a universal unlocked model, and I have trouble using Google Assistant. It never seems to activate when I say "Ok Google", and when that happens, almost always if I try pressing the physical...

My phone is a LG G8, Universal Unlocked edition. I am with Sprint, but the most recent simcard they gave me says T-Mobile now, I assume because of the upcoming merger. Lately, when I get a Facebook notification, I see the "Choose Default App" dialog appear and two Facebook apps listed, exact...

My father replaced his old phone with a new one, but after I finished backing up and restoring all his data he noticed that many of his contacts were missing, or were there but had missing information. Looking at his old Samsung S7 I noticed that for some reason many of the contacts have...

My phone, which is apparently "Universally Unlocked" and running on Sprint's network just got an OS update..... a lot of things look different, but the main thing that struck me is that I seem to no longer be able to hide the navigation bar. I find it pretty annoying when I want to use an app in...

I just got a used LG G6 as a backup phone, and have been running tests and benchmarks on it to make sure it works properly. one thing that I found odd however was that 3D Mark reported that my phone appears to run significantly worse than the baseline for an LG G6...

My father has a Samsung Galaxy S7, and was complaining to me that his phone kept running out of space, I was trying to figure out why since he doesn't have much on it and uses a SDcard for any photos/videos, and I saw that Facebook was taking up an ABSURD 16GB of space for User Data. Again, this...

I have a HTC 10, and it is not officially compatible with Daydream VR (though the app appears to run if I sideload it). However, I don't want to spend $80 on a VR headset just to find out it might not work on my phone... on top of that $80 is a little steep. I was wondering if there were any...

I think the NFC reader on my phone might not be working. I tried scanning some NFC toys on it, and no matter where I placed them all over the back and front of the phone, absolutely nothing happened. NFC IS on and enabled, but I get no response. Is there any way I can check to see if the NFC...

So, I have a Sprint HTC 10. It was rooted, and then an OTA update came out about a week or so ago, version 1.80.651.10. I unrooted and installed it, since I have TWRP it seems to take over the install process, but more or less does install it correctly. Once my phone rebooted, it complained...

I have been trying to Google this but am a little confused on all the steps I need to (and don't need to) take at this point, especially since I am a little behind. So I wanted to ask for help on forums, if anyone is willing to give some advice on this. First of all, I have a Sprint version of...

I am not looking to install a custom rom or anything like that (yet), I just want to have root access for the purposes of backing up all of my data. Would I be able to get root access on the stock rom that the phone comes flashed with after I performed the HTC Dev unlock? Or would I still need...

I need to organise my photos. The way my camera app works is that it just uses the next available number (e.g. photo0001 photo0002 photo0003, etc) and just remembers the next number to use. The issue with this is when you go back and delete photos, it leaves a blank "slot" (e.g. photo0008...

So, these two seem to be the two most well known backup apps, and I just wanted people's opinions on them. Especially since I will likely purchase the pro/full version of the one I decide to go with. Is any particular one better if you don't have root? What about if you do have root? Any...

Ok, currently I have an HTC M8, and I have been using the i-Blason case for it: https://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Holster-Kickstand-Locking-Swivel/dp/B00IGUUKRY/?t=androidcentral00-20&tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU5299333 It was EXACTLY what I was looking for, protects the phone, adds...

I have a HTC M8 running Lollypop. Recently, one of my most-used apps got an update that is horrible, it completely changed the UI for the worst, is buggy, and removes many features. I couldn't stand it and downgraded back to the previous version. Problem is, now the update appears in Google...

A few months ago I was looking for a case for my M8 that included a belt clip/holster and would offer some protection for the phone itself... but preferably WITHOUT a screen protector since I have never seen one, whether it's stick-on or part of the case, that didn't add a rainbow...

This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse. For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and...

Ok, let me start out by saying I know very very little about photography. I pretty much just leave it on Auto. I mean, I know how to switch between different presets (Auto, Portrait, Night, HDR, etc.) and that you can tap to focus there.... that's about it. I don't know how to set ISO levels or...

I am getting a M8 and want to get a belt-pouch case for it. Problem is, I know that some people have had issues with some cases where the magnets used to close the flap keep setting off the DotView feature of the phone, which apparently cannot be turned off. These were the three I was looking...
