    How did you drop your phone? *Poll*

    Had my trusty Moto Z3 in the pocket of my sweatshirt... went to put shirt back on, phone fell maybe two feet onto a tile floor. No visible damage and it still vibrates like it's alive, but the screen is completely black. They go for about $125 on Swappa and the repair quote was more than 200...

    AOD or not to use AOD

    I run my Moto Z Play Droid with Moto Display on all the time. I don't have any battery anxiety any more, so why not?

    Have you been waiting for a foldable smartphone?

    I'd be interested in something as a concept. Depends how it works. If you could carry something the dimensions of my old RAZR V3M, then open it /unfold it to be the size of a normal portrait mode phone, then open it on the other axis to be a tablet when I need that... yeah, I'd like that

    I've got the Moto Z — you've got questions. Fire away!

    Question about the magnets - how strong are they against separation? Like when I'm shoving it into a tight pouch will it slide off the contacts? How about when I drop it - explode into separate pieces like an old V3M, or stay together? Does the battery in the speaker mod work similarly to the...

    Android OS data usage

    I do upload pics, but they are clearly broken out under Photos and Dropbox, not under Android OS.

    Android OS data usage

    OK, I need to jump in here. My data usage graph is unbelievable. It shows that in a single month (and this repeats for all months I've had the phone) Android OS used 7.63GB of data by itself. How can I investigate what the heck it's doing? It's all showing as background. I get terrible battery...

    Samsung Galaxy S7 - 1 Month Later

    I wouldn't buy this phone again. The screen is beautiful and I like the ergonomics, but the speaker (like for speakerphone, or listening to music) is horrible. it gimps OK Google and only responds to the commands sometimes. The wifi constantly drops on strong signal areas, and the worst part is...

    Browsers drain battery

    I've been seeing Chrome Beta using 35% of my battery ... at that same time, the screen only uses 15%. What gives? I went back to regular Chrome and it's better, but still high.

    Anybody else using Good Lock?

    So could I use Good Lock and still use Action Launcher? Or is Good Lock a launcher by itself?

    Verizon New (APD2) Update / Battery Life Impact?

    I'm more concerned with this - I used the adb instructions that were out to enable adoptable storage. It works great and I'm happy with the results. Will this update break that?

    Samsung promotion status.

    So far I have two accounts that I'm watching - mine, and my girlfriend's. Mine just got an email telling me to activate my new watch, although I have no watch or tracking number. My girlfriend's account got an email last week telling her that she was getting a VR instead. So who do I call to...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    So just to give you an update, when I called back I told them the exact same story - that the website still was showing that the $100 was available, and that I even got an email promising me a code to redeem for the tradein to work. They agreed that it was absolutely valid to do so, provided me...

    Good lock from Samsung

    Can this be used to modify the lock screen to have widgets again? Can it be used with a launcher such as Nova or Action without an issue?

    Have to unlock S7 screen twice! GURR!

    Agree, extremely annoying. I want to tap the power button and be right at the pattern screen

    How to get media controls on lock screen?

    I'm having the same issue - while playing Google Play Music, if you tap the power button to light up the screen it goes straight to the "swipe screen to unlock" screen with the shortcuts in the lower corners. No music controls at all. I use a pattern lock. I'd rather it went straight to the...
