    Exclamation mark by volume icon

    Thanks! I'm gonna give it another try and check to see if it was just my volume that was off as the reason why I didn't hear the lady talking. Posted via the Android Central App

    Exclamation mark by volume icon

    What does this icon do? It seems to just mute the voice for me, but why would Google Maps have two mute buttons? Posted via the Android Central App

    Why is Material Design compared to paper

    I'm really not being a smartass when I say this, but I don't get it. Paper is not white on gray. You don't see shadow beneath the ink or graphite on paper. I like the design. Not my fav but I like it. Anyone feel like an explanation on why it is supposed to feel like paper? Does Google have a...

    Why is Material Design compared to paper

    I don't understand the paper design analogy. When I look at a piece of paper I don't see white space on a gray background. Go to your printer if you're confused on the appearance of paper. Paper doesn't bounce or stretch either. It looks alright. I believe minimalism is going out of style in...

    SIgnal consistency question

    I do like the M8 as a whole. However is it just my bad luck or does the M8 have a really really horrible cellular radio on it? It could be Verizon Wireless though. This is the first Verizon Wireless device I've used and to tell the truth since I don't know if it's the M8 or the carrier, since...

    How to upload full size VIDEOS to Google+

    Really? 157 views and nothing. I understand this is a Google (not just Android) fan site but it's okay to call out Google for their gaffes. Why does Google purposefully make no mention of video upload size? Or better yet why does Google change my video resolution without it being stated...

    How to upload full size VIDEOS to Google+

    It's there a way to auto-upload full size videos to Google+ like the photos do? EVERY single VIDEO the Google+ (Google Photos, whatever its called) app auto-uploads the resolution is changed to either 640x480 or 480x480. It's there just no way around that? Sent from my HTC6525LVW using AC...

    Weekly Photo Contest: Focus and Blur

    Taken with my Verizon Wireless M8, used the u-focus editing feature. The photo is of my daughter at a farm we went to. She fell in love with the chicken, carried it around like it was a baby.

    Nexus 7 (2012) Alarms won't sound though notifications will

    I'm not sure when my Nexus 7 2012 began this, maybe the 4.4 upgrade but no clock/timer/alarm program can make sound though all notifications not the alarm or end of a timer sound. I've used at least a dozen different alarm/timer apps and the stock clock and not a single one will make a sound...

    Videos get auto-uploaded at low res, I don't understand why

    So I have an HTC One, original and latest, with both set up to record at 1920x1080. I just found out after looking at the videos on Google+ that I have set to auto-upload too that the auto-upload changes the resolution of videos to 854x480. It has done it with every video. NOT a single picture...

    Play Store stops downloading after about 40 Kb of data but speedtests show 8 Mbps

    So this is really weird. Using the FCC speedtest app I am averaging 6.5 Mbps with jumps up to 8.4 Mbps but when I try to download from the Play Store it takes about 1 minute to get to 40 kb or so and then it stops downloading. It will show the bar for a while then the download bar goes away and...

    Why doesn't the Play Store download multiple apps at once?

    I just tried it on my S4. I picked two apps. The first one began downloading while the second showed the blue bar. Immediately after the first installed, the second app began downloading. Is there a setting that I need to change to download multiple at once?
