I'm on AT&T

An office friend told me that I need to look into wireless calling for when I'm at the office, since we have a mildly decent WiFi by comparison to the cell-tower reception that is nearly non-existent in the office cubicle farm. The only problem is that I purchased my phone from Google and took...

If you have a location-based profile manager, what do you use? I use Llama currently (I have for a while), but hate that the cell-tower id's change often enough and for a couple locations that are close, the tower ids sometimes overlap. They have a map component, but since it's marked as...

I bought my Pixel XL about two months ago and took it to the local AT&T store to get a SIM for it. I've had a couple phone lockups, but generally no problems on the network.

I just remembered this and re-installed "Sync Me" on the new device (Google Pixel XL). I'll give it a shot this weekend and see if it works as expected since Pixel doesn't allow an SD Card storage option.

It seemed to go away when I uninstalled the Twilight app. I don't think my phone keeps me up at night anyway.

Don't know if this is a MM update thing or an "Allo" thing, but I started using Google's new Allo as my SMS client and it's not displaying all my previous SMS message history as the Touchwiz Messenger does. It's probably an Allo thing, right?

Well, so far, so good. After an initial bit of 'unsettledness', it seems to hold on to the Wi-Fi connection here at the office a bit better--which is no small feat--and I like the "on-the-charger-dimmed-view-but-not-totally-off" mode. Is that the "Doze" mode that I read a blurb about?

@Bobxxz: what do you mean by "reset the phone and installed my apps"??

So it seems the battery is draining faster than it's being charged, it won't hold a Wifi connection (which is not unusual given the history of my office location), and MMS group messages don't come in thru Google Hangouts (which I have used for a while now). Ideas?

I think I'm getting the update now. The "Device Management" service has been downloading a 'software update' for about an hour or so now (work wi-fi isn't quite as responsive as mine at home). Drum roll please... ** UPDATE ** Android 6... (still updating and optimizing the apps on the device)...

I'm very familiar with Filters and Labels, so that's not the issue. I was just trying to get my email to recognize that the email is from AT&T and be able to show me the contact icon (yea, I'm picky like that). Using filters, is it possible to *change* the from-address so that it corresponds...

Has anyone heard anything on this?

I know this is more Google-related than Android, but maybe someone can point me to an answer or better place to answer this. Can you set an email wildcard for a Google Contact? Example: AT&T sends me an account statement and payment confirmations from an auto-generated email address that...
