    Bluetooth headset won't stay connected

    I've got a Pixel and two Plantronics headsets, an M155 and a Voyager Pro. I'll pair one or the other and it will seem fine, then when I make or receive a call I'll get the ring sound through the headset but it will drop back to the phone withing a few seconds of the call being answered. I can...

    Anyone has a preference for the regular versus the Classic and vice versa?

    I liked the look of the regular model better, but like the standard band on the Classic. Since I couldn't find a 3G Classic at a decent price, I went with the standard and bought a set of band adapters. The adapters didn't fit of course, so I had to hand fit them, but in the end it was worth...

    Get a Gear S2 or stick with my Gear S?

    You can take a call on the S2 via bluetooth from your phone, but only the 3G models have a speaker, so you'd have to have a BT headset connected or use your phone's speaker...which would rather defeat the point of making/taking calls on your watch, at least IMO. Getting the speaker was the...

    Gear S2 - WiFi - What are the benefits?

    Thanks for the info. It's set at Strong now. I can barely feel it unless I'm waiting for it, and if I'm driving the car it gets lost in the background vibrations. But enabling the speaker with a small beeping sound really helps. Now I hear the beep and feel the vibration. Funny how that works.

    Why won't my Gear s2 track sleep?

    I just realized I don't have the sleep tracking update. I've got the update to the Gear Manager app on my phone, but T-Mobile has not realeased the actual S2 update for the watch. I've taken them to task on their support forums, so I'm sure the update is coming forthwith. Hahahaha. I wish I...

    Material Analogic Watch Face

    I just bought this and while it might not be the most stylish face, it's certainly one of the best I have for easy readability and quickly imparting the information I want. The semi transparent hands are a nice touch. This might be my new fav every day face. I just wanted to add that it's got...

    Why won't my Gear s2 track sleep?

    I've only had my S2 for a few days, but it appears to have the update and Sleep is in S Health on my phone. The first night it didn't track my sleep, the second night it did and last night it didn't. Seems to me like a work in progress. I sleep like a log for 7-8 hours straight, so sleep...

    Gear S2 - WiFi - What are the benefits?

    What's the battery impact of keeping wifi turned on? I just bought a 3g refurbed S2 to replace my broken Pebble Steel. Loving it so far. I just wish it vibrated better.

    Battery, memory, data hogs... top 10

    Just checked Gsam on my S5 and BBM and Instagram are 28th and 29th on the list of apps that use the most power, .2% each. Not something I'm too worried about. SwiftKey uses more than those two combined. Posted via the Android Central App

    Verizon S5 Lollipop Bugs

    Yes, it is partially Google and Android's problem if their customers perceive this to be a bug ridden update...which looks to be the case. Pebble isn't getting the bad press, it's Android. Posted via the Android Central App

    Verizon S5 Lollipop Bugs

    Worked fine before the Android update, doesn't work after the update. Hard to call that a problem with the watch when it's the phone's software that's changed. But I'm not interested in placing blame, just getting it to work right again.

    Verizon S5 Lollipop Bugs

    The only thing I've noticed so far is my Pebble keeps dropping BT connection, forcing me to open the Pebble app, disconnect and reconnect. It's only noon and it's already done it twice today. In the months previously I can't remember it dropping once a month much less twice in one day. My BT...

    Update to 5.0 without a computer?

    I've tried that and everything else. I think the time has come to replace it. Thanks for the responses. Posted via Android Central App
