Am I missing something? So VZW (and other carriers) have great teaser deals for phones at times...but almost all of them say, "With New Line". (Or new unlimited line.) If you're a current customer and want to upgrade 1 or 2 phones on your existing plan...will they honor this deal somehow? Can...

To be honest, I guestimated it was the Doze feature from the start, but I may have tried to turn it off in the wrong place. Samsung (don't know if it's Nougat) has a "Power Saving Mode" that has options "Off, Mid, Max" and it was set to "Mid" by default. So I turned it Off. That didn't seem...

maildroiddev: Appreciate you being responsive here. I have already emailed you about this directly and, (for everyone else's information) you replied promptly. Specific to MailDroid, one example is that I have my phone lying on my desk, with a WiFi access point less than 3ft away. Neither the...

OK, just to clarify, there is a difference between receiving email and notifying the phone owner of the received email. Both are important, but in this case, I can definitely say that the emails aren't even being received. I think I receive notifications accurately when they ARE received.

felloffthetruck I should have clarified: I don't think it matters, but my MailDroid is connecting to an (IDLE-capable) IMAP server. Is yours polling or using IMAP-IDLE (push)? Thanks for the quick feedback. Still not sure why I should blame this on an email client, since at least 2 don't...

Since upgrading from my GS6E (and this includes upgrading to Nougat), my email has been way less reliable. I have two (really three) separate email clients I use almost constantly: K9 (home/personal), Touchdown HD (work), and GMail (of course). Post upgrade, K9 would not sync. Really, it...

Interesting. OK. I was really surprised that it seemed to work for a day and then pretty-much stopped. I'll try removing the account and re-adding it as you suggest.

Does anyone else still use Touchdown HD for Exchange email? I installed it and it seemed to be working the first day, but since then it doesn't appear to be syncing any emails (not sure about calendar, I don't change that as frequently). Anyone else have this issue and possibly know how to fix...

I tried removing it and re-adding it to AW. That resulted in the same situation. I did not hard-reset the watch, but I have rebooted it. I could try re-init'ing the watch I guess. Thanks for the reply. AJ

Got my new S8 - replacing a GS6 Edge. Everything looks pretty good (I miss Google Now though). However, I've tried to configure my Tag (Android Wear 2) watch a couple of times. It says it completes pairing (and it is shown in the bluetooth list), but AW app continually says "Trying to Connect"...

Upgraded from VZ S6E to S8 and love this phone. Unicorn Beetle case fits well. Only major issue thus far is that my AW 2.0 watch won't connect properly. It keeps seeming to pair, but AW constantly says "Trying to Connect", and the notifications to the watch are very inconsistent. Something's...

I know there are up/down arrows under the 4G in the status bar. They usually indicate data traffic up/down to the VZ network. But I just noticed that the actual 4G(LTE) above those arrows was blinking. Seemingly random, not in a strict pattern. Does anyone know what that indicates??? Thanks, AJ

Good call on this. FWIW: I uninstalled all the pre-loaded games and VZ Navigator. I have nothing against gaming - I like it actually - I just don't do it on my phone, and I'd rather decide which games I install and when. :)

FYI: I asked, and got an email reply, from Tag support. Android Wear 2.0 expected for the watch in "late March 2017". -AJ
