In my experience the number one thing that leads to variation in battery life is cell signal. A good way to test whether and to what extent this is the problem is (on a day where this is practical) to turn airplane mode on, and then turn WiFi on (but leave all other connections off). This will...

I've found the same thing, and wonder if it's because I'm using an Exynos S7 (it just shows as unavailable in the Play store)? To be honest, I probably wouldn't use the hub as it wouldn't work easily with Knox (so paradoxically would reduce security) but it's a mystery I'd be interested to...

Long time Blackberry user here too - just to add that the Samsung detachable keyboard case is SUPERB. If you're used to and missing a BlackBerry physical keyboard I thoroughly recommend it, and honestly find it a better typing experience than most of the BlackBerry devices I owned. Posted via...

Another enthusiastic recommendation for Spotify from a very happy user Posted via the Android Central App

This seems to be common, and after a bit of searching (after it first happened to my wife's 6p) there is an easy fix. Go into Google settings on your phone, Ads, and then select 'Reset marketing ID'. The thinking is that this fake virus screen is somehow linked to Google advertising ID, and that...

Any idea on when AC are planning on posting their review of the Priv yet? I presume CrackBerry's review will go up on Friday, and it would be great to have an Android Central review up on the same day. Would also be interesting to hear who's doing the review (I'm guessing Alex or Phil, it...

A bit of a general question, and perhaps a tricky one to answer since you use so many devices, but has anything about the device made you think 'wow'? Lots of devices are great iterations upon already great devices, but occasionally one will come along which feels not just great but wow...

Hi Russell, I'd love to hear your initial thoughts on camera - any first impressions would be great. Thanks! Ps Enjoy All About Android tonight and good luck in the Arena! Posted via the Android Central App

Android? It will always be first on their list (sorry, couldn't resist). Posted via the Android Central App

HTC One and BlackBerry Q5 for me! Posted via Android Central App

I hesitate to suggest it but....new wife maybe? ;) Posted via Android Central App

No offense intended, but I think the problem is that you are thinking of your phone as a Mac formated external hard drive, when it's more accurate to think of it as a computer in its own right. The 'magic' solutions you mention aren't ways to make people take unnecessary steps just becuase it's...

Battery life potentially Posted via Android Central App

Unpopular opinion, but go for the iPad. It will be the easiest to pick up and use each time, the app selection for media consumption when you aren't using it for class will be unparalleled, it will be supported for a long time, and if the mini bluetooth keyboard you get is anything like the 10"...

I know that most AC and its readers are limited in their ability to get hold of and use Xiaomi devices, but with their rise, and particularly the release of the Mi 4 - arguably the Android smartphone of the year - shouldn't the AC forms have a dedicated Xiaomi section? It sort of feels like...
