    Chrome won't display QR code for "Messages for Web" page

    The biggest mystery for me is that two of my wife's devices have no issues with Chrome; yet I do. It's almost as if my Google account has something to do with it but I've matched settings with her--at least everything that I can think of.

    Chrome won't display QR code for "Messages for Web" page

    That doesn't help on either device. and it still isn't fixed. I even did a factory reset on the tablet due to issues unrelated, and that didn't make Chrome display correctly.

    Chrome won't display QR code for "Messages for Web" page

    I have an S7 and Samsung tablet Tab 2. Neither one will display all of the QR code at the top of the Messages For Web page, but on both devices, Firefox works fine. My wife also has an S7 and a tablet and both of them work fine with Chrome. I've tried a multitude of settings; nothing gets...

    I don't see "Play Protect" in the Play Store app UI.

    Screen Animation Speed

    What I'm trying to say is I don't like the animations and prefer that there be none

    Screen Animation Speed

    I kept all those settings at 0 but had to change them back to one because it interferes with Google search results not showing up on the screen without having to switch between the tabs like images and what not in order to get the results to appear

    System update on Verizon 06-27-17

    the update fixed an annoying issue introduced with the 7.0 update: the screen would turn back on every few seconds during phone calls, after the power button was pressed to turn off the screen. the only workaround was to go from the call screen to the home screen; then press POWER. it has...

    Today's update fixed screen...

    Turning back on during phone calls after having pressed the power button to turn off the screen (during speakerphone mode). The update to 7.0 caused the problem which wasn't present in all previous versions of the OS software

    Phone is asking to do a system update repeatedly... how do I fix it?

    old thread, but I'll chime in. My S7 updated to 7.0...wouldn't stop showing a message that it needed to be updated. Only solution for me was a factory reset.

    I've lost count of how many times Google search stops working each day

    For me the strangest thing is that I don't see many related complaints. I base that on the fact that two of our phones here have the same problems with Google and that includes multiple versions of the Google app over recent weeks

    I've lost count of how many times Google search stops working each day

    Problem has become much worse on both of our phones. Don't any of you out there have the same problem with using the microphone instead of the keyboard or using the voice search?
