Thanks for your response. But I can't get into anything except to unlock the screen. I finally tried the power and volume down keys. They still work if you hold them down long enough. I ended up resetting the data again.

I updated to nougat last week. I got the developer OtA but it looks like it's the new 7.0 version. I reset the data tonight and after a while it started rebooting over and over by itself. it Won't stop. I've tried to power off and it just keeps going. I've got 70% battery life so it has a...

I followed along and hit the manage space button. It then gives some explanations. The data manages search. It accelerates the google search engine. There is data there that search can use instead of looking the information up on-line. I'm not a pro, but this seems useful and is something...

They hit you for a high deductible (which they don't talk about). And you might be about ready for a new phone anyways. So think it out.

Re: Silent mode Thanks mobosalt :-)

Last year at this time I was waiting for Verizon to send Lollipop to us. As I remember, it took about a month after Google sent out the unlocked U.S.A. OTA version, to get Verizon's version. Posted via the Android Central App

No matter what I found to stop sounds and vibrations, I couldn't get rid of this anoying vibrate for notifications. I finally discovered 360 Security app on Google Play and it has a menu (upper left menu) that will silence any and all notifications. The app is free and does a lot of cleaning...

As I'm reading an article, all of a sudden the print blows oversized so I can't read the text. It also draws a border on the edge of the screen outlining where the shape of the letter box should be. Does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions as to how to fix this? I have to close...

I thought I saw a security update for November for my M8. I thought I'd save it to download the next day but it wasn't there anymore. I tried the settings to search for updates and no results. I looked for it in the about phone software with no reference to it being loaded. I'm a little...

I received a notice that there was an upgrade from Verizon last week. It is about 500MB in size. I didn't have time to download it at that time so I closed the notification. The update got deleted or it vanished on me and I haven't been able to find it since then. I've been using the system...

I've since discovered the orange bands on top and bottom on the screen when the battery gets low. It's an eye catcher that I really like. Posted via the Android Central App

I think there is a led light there but its not working. I've seen a couple of apps in the Play Store to install notifications but their ratings are 3.? and don't work at all. I'm not knowledgeable enough to attempt to root the device, but I should have gotten a tablet that isn't so stripped...

I'm updating to 6.0 now. Posted via the Android Central App

I'm still waiting for ota on my n9. Makes me rather insecure. Did Google forget about me? Posted via the Android Central App

Just ordered the N9. May not accept delivery. Has the drag gotten better for anyone? Have updates helped problems get better lately? Posted via the Android Central App
