    Does this workaround suggest any vulnerability?

    Wow! I still read things I've never seen before on these forums. I've actually never heard of this before. I'm familiar with adding the same fingerprint multiple times to increase accuracy for that finger, but never combining 2 figures into 1 slot. I do see it over on the XDA forums for this...

    Hello! This cannot be completed (the installing of the actual OS). The only thing that can be accomplished is loading the Google Play Store onto the BB OS through a sideload. This is a viable option to bring some of the better android options onto the device (with some limitations). The...

    Moto z2 force vs Pixel Xl or Suggestions?

    Hi Tony36011 Great choices here. A huge fan of both those devices and the companies who manufacturer them! What device are you currently using now? This is a tough comparison for me simply coming from the fact the Z2 Force out specs the Pixel (non XL) in several key areas (Resolutio/PPI...

    Why not Android?

    Let me start by saying... I love Android. I also find a ton of value in the iOS platform. As consumers, we have an incredible amount of choice to suit our needs best. One thing that I was really thinking about today was I'd like to see my wife using an Android phone. She's used an iPhone since...

    SMS on company SIM card in my personal android phone

    This is a great answer. As someone who sets up company phones there's nothing that you can get off the sim card. However tracking phone calls is very easy and the above user is correct you can hide IT management apps to do additional tracking. If if the option is available I would recommend...

    Recent apps button not working
