Sometimes when I try to quickly switch between recent apps I just end up at the home screen. The recent apps come up for a second but then seem to crash and the phone just takes me to the home screen. It is unpredictable but I would say it does it around 40% of the time. It is very frustrating...

This isn't the norm for me to have Google Services taking up more battery than the screen. I have been on a Stock Android binge on my S6 and downloaded APKs of Google Contacts and Dialer (can't get the Play Store versions because I do not have MM yet). So since the play services icon was Google...

Ok, so my mom's s4 runs pretty poorly because she has had some kind of Google Authentication error for a long time and just tried to fix it (she has 59 updates pending). She needed it to navigate her somewhere and Google Maps didn't seem to be working (presumably because it is out of date?) so I...

Thank you so much for the reply! I figured that it couldn't have gotten much water inside if for how little time it was submerged, so I left it off from last night through most of today and it seems to be in working order *knock on wood!* Posted via the Android Central App

My phone was wrapped in my shirt on the bathroom counter and i forgot it was in there, picked up my shirt and the phone fell into the toilet for less than a second before I snatched it, now the back button keeps pressing repeatedly by itself. Is there anything I can do?

Thanks for the quick reply! Would it do damage with continued use or could it possibly damage it with just a few uses? I'm not familiar with how phone batteries work but I am always scared to use 3rd party chargers and usb's. Posted via the Android Central App

I am going out of town this week, and I received an external battery from my friend. It is sort of a promotional item as it has his work place's logo on it and its own mid quality micro usb to usb. The specs on the battery are: Input: DC 5V-500mA Output: 5V-1000mA Capacity: 2200mAh I realize...

No luck with Smart Switch :( Posted via the Android Central App

I read an article that Samsung began pushing out Marshmallow on February 14th and I do not have the option to upgrade yet. I bought my phone in July from eBay and it is unlocked (at least it has no carrier logo on the back and no carrier-specific bloatware), so I assume I should be one of the...

Thank you!!

When I ask OK Google to do something while my device is charging, she usually says "Actually, I can do that while the device is locked." I have the trusted voice setting on to allow the voice search to unlock my phone when sound matches my voice model. Do I just not sound enough like my voice...

Re: "Subject: New Message" Samsung Galaxy S6 MMS Sorry, I missed that it was a link. I found this one when I looked for a solution prior to posting. I cleared the data of my messenger app to no avail.

Re: "Subject: New Message" Samsung Galaxy S6 MMS This is what it looks like.

"Subject: New Message" Samsung Galaxy S6 MMS It seems that just out of the blue my MMS messages (in group chats at least) show up as Subject: New Message <message>. The Subject Line shows up in the notification bar so I can look at what was said without unlocking my phone. It is terribly...

I will check it out. Thank you! Posted via the Android Central App
