    Google Chrome and Google Maps

    Recently, I've come to notice that when I'm using Google Chrome in Android and clicking on a Map URL, it opens Google Maps in another Chrome tab as opposed to just opening the Google Maps app. I have a feeling that maybe I made an error and set this up as a default action, but I cannot for the...

    Re-lock Bootloader Post-Nougat

    I have a question for the knowledgeable masses. When I purchased my Moto X PE a few years back, specifically model XT1575, I gained it from a previous owner who had unlocked the bootloader. Since then, my Moto X has upgraded to Nougat. What I'd like to do is lock the bootloader now in order to...

    Can i still update to nougat if my devices bootloader is unlocked?

    I realize this is an older thread, but I'll chime in here since I'm using a Moto X PE. My phone had an unlocked Bootloader. I gained the update to Nougat just a few days, if not weeks, ago. My phone still has an unlocked Bootloader post-udate. So my best guess is that you should be able to get...

    US Pure Nougat Is Finally Rolling Out!

    I eventually took the plunge. I have to say that I'm enjoying this update. It didn't blow my mind, but it also didn't cripple my phone either. Bluetooth does seem to be a bit better this time around as I was having issues with pairing to some devices that I'm now able to with the update.

    US Pure Nougat Is Finally Rolling Out!

    Can you comment on the performance with the update? I'm wondering if it would make my apps run slower, battery drain faster, worsen my experience with wireless devices. I just got the notification that I can download the update yesterday, but haven't taken the plunge as much as I want to for...

    Moto 360 Keeps Turning Off. Please Help!

    I hate saying this, but I'm glad I'm not the only one experiencing this. I actually have three Moto 360s and I see them often exhibiting these behaviors. I've been leering at the idea of changing out the battery considering the work that I'd have to look forward to - not impossible, but at the...

    Will Amazon Nexus 6 work with existing Sprint sim card?

    I want to add one more thing regarding the SIM card concern. I've got an HTC One e8 with Sprint right now, sold by Sprint, that has a removable SIM card with the phone. I hear what you're saying about GSM and CDMA and commonly SIM card-based phones are typically GSM phones. It struck me as...

    Will Amazon Nexus 6 work with existing Sprint sim card?

    I'd really like to know this also. I was reading on Amazon this morning how it says "Unlocked cell phones will not work with CDMA Carriers like Sprint, Verizon, Boost or Virgin", but I'm curious about this as well as I think I'm getting ready to jump away from my current phone. Source...

    Took the plunge and bought one.

    I joined you and took the plunge on the 14th. The first document is pretty much instructions on use. The other booklet is definitely about warranty and FCC, etc. The important thing about that book is that it mentions that the device is covered for one year, standard manufacturer warranty. I...

    NFC transfers

    I was recently testing out capabilities of performing NFC data transfers between my HTC One e8 and my friend's Samsung S5. My phone had no problem sending files to the Samsung; it did however have problems receiving. My friend's Samsung would start to send, the e8 would acknowledge the NFC...

    Voicemail notifications not showing

    I hate to resurrect an old thread, but this is an issue I've still been having with my EVO. I've had SMS turned off in Hangouts, yet I still continue to miss getting notifications. The voicemail app never registers any voicemail messages locally on the phone and when I call the real voice mail...

    HTC EVO 4G LTE: Last Update 4.13.651.4

    Not sure about the notification bar issue. I'm not having a problem with that on .4. I did have a bit of a problem getting all my settings back when I installed .3, but one thing I know that was different about the process for me anyways regarded when I put in my settings. Being more...

    HTC EVO 4G LTE: Last Update 4.13.651.4

    Ha! So you're not gonna believe this - I don't have that installed. I'd been reading all over the place that HTC Sync Manager should not be installed for the RUU to work correctly, so I've been completely avoiding that. I'll do that now. Thanks! EDIT: So now I'm getting the RUU to work...
