    Thoughts on running AT&T v6.0.1 while using Cricket?

    I owned a Nexus 5 before which had vanilla Android on it. In order to use Cricket I had to modify some settings like the Access Point data. For AT&T I had to do nothing... Since I got my S6 (which is an AT&T branded, unlocked), the first thing I did was wipe it using Odin and install the...

    Contacts missing on Galaxy S6 v5.1.1 but present online

    I have no idea what the solution is. Please help. I login to contacts.google.com and I have 96 contacts. They all look good from what I can tell. Same people I've had for years and were there last week. I look on my phone under Contacts I have 48 contacts. Lots of important people are...

    How would I get OS updates for an AT&T phone as a Cricket customer?

    I suggest you grab the v5.1.1 Cricket Wireless S6 image and using Odin wipe your Unlocked AT&T phone, overwriting the AT&T image with the Cricket Wireless one. It's nice because it has less bloatware on it and it also has the automatic Access Point data for Cricket entered. I had issues with...

    Pics/Videos in Google Photos not visible in Samsung "Gallery" app, Help?

    Switching from a Google Nexus 5, where I used the Photos app (which i think has ties to Google+) solely. I liked because sync was in place and I could easily go on my photos.google.com and see the pictures there too (and share them). Now it seems that with the Samsung Galaxy S6, the camera app...

    Make Google Photos videos/photos cached locally?

    This seems true. Except *IF* you shoot the video or photo on the phone you are on, then it not only appears in Photos and plays Offline in Photos, but plays Online without needing to buffer online. There must be some metadata telling it to actually go look locally first, then Online if cant...

    Make Google Photos videos/photos cached locally?

    I didn't. I went in to Photos and went to Device Folders, saw Downloads (only 2 videos in it currently, 2 that I did hit Save , from photos). Then clicked the little cloud icon in the top right. It is blue now. I gave it a couple minutes while connected to WiFi (i had photos set to only sync...

    Make Google Photos videos/photos cached locally?

    Yes the download option does indeed download the video and I can see it in my Downloads. However, if I then enable Airplane mode, and launch Photos, if I click on that video, it never plays. If I go and use my Camera to make a new video on THIS phone, then go in to Airplane mode, I can go into...

    Make Google Photos videos/photos cached locally?

    I shot some video and some photos on my Google Nexus 5 and if I went to play them in the Photos app, the videos would play instantly as they were shot on that phone. Once I wiped my phone though (and now subsequently with a S6) it has to buffer to download and play those videos. That works OK...

    Google Device Manager doesn't work

    I did resolve this issue and I too have my N5 on v5.1. It's hard to remember exactly what I did but I think I did this... Remove the app Device Manager from your phone apps. Settings -> Apps For apps: Google Play services, Google Play store Load all them up and choose "Clear Data". Perhaps...

    Google Device Manager doesn't work

    Did you ever find a solution to this? I have this issue right now on my Google Nexus 5, running Android 5.1.0 I can see my location in the Device Manager, but below, there is just a spinning circle, it never shows the prompt for actions. I tried logging in on 3 different android phones, no go.
