I have a Nexus 6P running stock Android 6.0.1 and am getting fed up with what I can best describe as random browser Hijack. I can be using Chrome or clicking through an article on Facebook, it is usually something that is in a slideshow format, when all of a sudden I get either an alert that my...

I've had my Moto 360 for a weekend so far and here is my experience so far with it... What I've liked: I'm a bigger guy and the size of the watch hasn't bothered me any, in fact I hardly even notice that it is there. All of my common apps seem to be able to communicate and send notifications...

Thanks for your thoughts. It makes sense. I'll post a similar question over to the CM forums to see if it might just be me or if anyone else there is seeing the same thing and who knows they might have changed the modem.

Does anyone know for fact, not speculation like I'm going to do with seeming sound evidence, if Sprint controls access to its 4G service based on the version of Android that you are running? Here is what has happened to me over the last few months... Things were getting a little stale for me...

This last week I've been having a terrible problem with texting in the Lansing, MI area. I'm guessing that something is going on with the network but I've had more "unable to send" messages in the last 3 days than I've had in the last 3 years of being a Sprint customer. What is happening is...

I'm having the same issue. The problem is that for incoming notifications I have sound and vibrate enabled, when I do the vibrate option I expect the sound to go away but keep the buzz. When I go completely to mute I expect the buzz to not work as well. It doesn't vibrate on Mute even if it...

Even though the S3 has Gorilla Glass 2 on it, I'm still a fan of using a screen protector just for the added protection, the extra layer never bothered me. When I got my S3, I purchased and had the Sprint store rep put the protector on the phone, and after 1 day of not even putting the phone in...

Earlier in November there was an OTA update that ever since I applied it my phone's battery life has been terrible. Phone is unrooted, android version 2.3.3, software number 4.54.651.1, can provide more versions if needed. I typically run my phone with WiFi turned on through the day because I...

I'm the IT Admin for a small business and am trying to migrate/upgrade our Exchange sync server. I'm at the point of trying to reconnect devices to the new server and I'm running into trouble with a Epic 4G. All of my other Android based phones I can literally just change the DNS/IP address...

I have a bland, unrooted EVO 4G which this past couple of weeks have been giving me some really weird battery issues. First of all, I work in a basement which has a WiFi access point and a cell phone signal extender which works good 80% of the time. The first thing that I've noticed is that...

A friend of mine got the T-Mobile G2 on the recommendations of several of her friends who have the same phone. Since I'm the "tech guy" I've been asked about some problems that she's been having that I've tried everything that I can think of and am stumped. What is happening is that when the...

I've recently downloaded Dungeon Hunter from Gameloft and use WinAmp as my media player. I noticed that WinAmp has grabbed the game's sound files and plays them within my playlist. After seeing this I did look at the stock media player and found that I can also find and play the files there...

I'm thinking about upgrading from my Palm Pre to the Evo 4G and had a question about some of the accessories. I purchased the Sprint branded car charger back when I got my Pre, is it compatible with the Evo or will I need to get a new charger? I'm also looking at recommendations for screen...

I've been on the bubble for a while about switching to the EVO 4G from the Pre and a friend of mine got one so I'm sort of getting gotta-get-it-itis. One of the big Pros that I see for switching is the app catalog, I'll actually be able to do things. I did purchase a number of apps for my Pre...
