Purchased the Lenovo Smart Tab M10 tablet. It came with a charging dock, and a USB-C/USB-A 2.0 cord for data transfer and charging when not using the dock. Without the dock, would a new USB-C AC charger be fastest? Would an AC cube for my existing USB-C/USB-A cable offer the same charging...

Interesting. I just held my Pixel 3 XL on the Koomus magnetic car mount, and it stayed up there while driving! Not sure how strong the naked hold will be in more severe driving, but I prefer a thin clear case over thicker opaque ones that can disguise an added metal plate.

This 6P is on T-Mobile. 8.0 OTA came Tuesday evening. I hadn't received any security or OS updates since Dec 2016. After several phone calls to Google and T-Mobile, I learned if your device was purchased somewhere other than Google (this one's Best Buy), your mobile service company is...

Hoopladigital.com downloaded media can also be sent to SD card.

I've had some success. I think these newspaper, magazine, and video apps were installed before I bought an SD card, so I factory reset the Zenpad 10, reformatted the card, and then installed all apps. Looks like each app’s setting options dictate if it's media can be stored externally or must...

Is it true that apps have to be internal storage? How is everyone using their external storage then? I bought the smaller 16 gig Z300M P00C, since sd cards can be formatted as adoptable internal storage in Marshmallow. The tablet's e-manual even says apps can be stored on the SD card (which I...

Very happy with the low profile of the new Koomus magnetic holder. Very strong hold for Nexus 6P in the CandyShell Speck case. Posted via the Android Central App

I have the $30/100 min/5GB prepaid T-Mobile acct. Are minutes deducted on wifi calls? Do they have to adjust my acct for wifi calling on my unlocked Nexus 6P (once I change the phone settings)? Edited: On a 2nd call to T-Mobile I found out wifi minutes get deducted for all of their accounts...

I want to continue using my Nexus 5 magnetic charger as just a 6P car mount, by adding a ferrous plate inside my Speck case. What are your recommendations of shape, dimensions, etc. for the disc to assure a strong hold without NFC interference? I will be sure to leave it directly below the...

Ready to upgrade from Nexus 5 to the new best Android! Posted via the Android Central App

Wait for the Wi-Fi update; keep the house.

Same here. But after resetting seemed to fix everything, when I ask OK Google anything (or tap for the "Speak now"), the screen only shows the working circle and then disconnects from the phone. I hope a fix is on the way. Edit: Fixed with the next day's update . Thanks Google.

Well, that was just too easy. Wilfi returned to being unavailable later that night, even in safe mode. Don't know if an app is responsible for this. I'll wait and see if 5.1 corrects the grayed-out wifi before replacing the phone. At least the constant rebooting and icon issues are gone. Until I...

My issue wasn't with getting mobile data, it was only having mobile for Internet. Apparently the Connectify app will do USB reverse tethering I was looking for, in addition to other connectivity tasks. Here's where I found out about it. But, the better news is my wifi button is back. Turned...
