Yes, I was there, and was surprised to only find a lame, nearly empty booth in the Automotive wing of the North Hall next to Ford, showing off some of their self-driving tech. I thought maybe they would have also had their usual booth in the South Hall (usually not far from Razer), but nope...

Lately I've been experiencing an issue where I will try to turn up the volume when media is playing, but the slider won't go past about 75%. Now, I'm used to the warning that restricts you from boosting volume when it thinks you might be wearing earbuds until you tell it OK, but this is not the...

I want a Nexus 5X (or 6P) because I want an excuse to check out Google Fi!

Re: Calls answering when unholstering, but no sound (Sprint S5 Lollipop) Nope, did not have that turned on.

Calls answering when unholstering, but no sound (Sprint S5 Lollipop) Very odd symptom for the last few weeks. Often when I get a call, I'll remove the phone from its holster, and instead of giving me the answer/reject swipe options, it will look like I chose to answer the call (like it decided...

This has got to the the worst-titled Setting ever. "Merge tabs and apps" needs to be turned off to get the regular tabs back. Thanks for the tip, even if Google was "special-needs" in the way they implemented it.

I just got the update yesterday. Unplugged my phone this morning 4.5 hours ago, and I'm already down to 28% on my battery. GSam shows it being taken up almost entirely by "Kernel (Android OS)" 27.3% and "Android System" 24%, and another 15% by the screen (and I'm sure the white background on...

Re: Fingerprint scanner problem with Galaxy S5 I am having tons of trouble with my fingerprint scanner. It just does not work the way it used to. When I first got it, it was very reliable, now I'm lucky for it to successfully recognize my print. I prefer the fingerprint scanner for when I need...

What the actual **** is this about?? The voice mail app on my GS5 updated yesterday, and now it is applying ridiculous avatars to the calls, and putting banner ads at the bottom of the screen. It's bad enough that it is pushing me offers to "subscribe" to my own voice mail service for $2.99/mo...

This would go to my girlfriend, who is extremely frustrated with her Galaxy S3 (even without taking the cracked screen into account).

This morning while in my car at the Starbucks drive-thru, with my S5 plugged into a charger and in it's dash mount, I turned on the camera to take a picture of an ***** trying to enter the drive-thru from the wrong direction with other cars already lined up. What was very odd is that the image...

The title says it all. Many of the cases out there look like they would make it difficult to run your finger over the home button fingerprint scanner. Anybody experience issues? I got my S5 on Saturday at Best Buy. Sadly, it does not fit in the same leather hip holster as my S2 did, so I need...

Now the question is: With the pending sale of Motorola to Lenovo (still requires government approval by both the U.S. and China), does that change anyone's opinion on whether they would get a Moto X? Would you be more likely to go with a Note 3 or Nexus 5 after hearing the news?

My GF had traded her white GS2 for a purple GS3... just because it was purple. :confused: After a month, the GS3 screen went out, and she is now awaiting a replacement (since Sprint is forcing her to get another purple phone instead of just giving her the same model). She wants to get a case...

Yes, she kept the insurance, although they raised both the monthly fee and the deductible ($11 and $149, respectively). However, it has not been dropped or immersed, and so they had better honor the OEM warranty.
