I have a Pixel 4a 5g, but I don't suppose this question is specific to that phone. I noticed yesterday that the glass of the screen is separating from the phone along the left edge; it wiggles a bit, and I can fit a fingernail behind the edge of the glass. I had the screen replaced about a year...

They have the 4GB model, but sadly my points total falls just short of enough, and there's no option to supplement with money. It's all or nothing. You make a good point, though, that as old as it is the C720 still seems to do what I need it to do. (Dollar for dollar, this C720 is the single...

I'm currently using an Acer C720 that must be close to five years old. Been thinking for a while about getting something more current. I have some reward points to spend, so I have the chance to get a Samsung Chromebook 3 with 2GB RAM for free. It goes without saying that this would be a huge...

I live in the US and have a G5 Plus (Amazon Prime edition) that I'm using on Verizon. We're planning a trip to the UK in a few months, and I can't seem to find a direct answer to the question of whether my phone will work in the UK if we add a Verizon international plan. I *think* it will...

Yeah, you're probably right. Best Buy is going to have the 64GB version in their Black Friday sale, and it's not like this is an expensive phone even at full price! Thanks for the sanity check ... I guess I just have to decide how cheap I want to be.

I just bought a 32GB Moto G5 Plus, which I'm using for a couple of weeks before passing it on to my wife. She doesn't ask much from her phone, so I knew the 32GB version would be fine for her. I was planning to buy myself a 64GB G5 once I was sure I liked the phone (mainly for the 4GB of RAM)...

Yeah, my Google searches led me to that post as well. I didn't find anything there that was helpful. However, I eventually did find this app: PSViewer. It was able to import my Cam 360 photos and display them via Cardboard. It's a solution, but not a particularly elegant one. I'm really...

Seems like this should be simple, but I can't figure it out. All I want to do is take 360-degree photos with the Cam 360 and then view them in my Cardboard viewer. I can download the photos to my phone and upload them to Google Photos, but I can't find any way to make them appear within...

I'd like to be able to take spherical photos for viewing in Cardboard. Barring the purchase of a dedicated 360-degree camera, what's the best way to do this using my phone camera? I have the Cardboard Camera app, but it only takes horizontal 360-degree panoramas. If you look up or down, you see...

Re: LTE bands Hmm. Thanks, that's good to know. Maybe I'm getting too hung up on the LTE bands ... I'm not going to be walking around Tokyo streaming HD movies. Perhaps 3G is good enough.

Re: LTE bands Yeah, I'm really hoping to find a better option. I wish I knew which network Verizon's phones use when roaming in Japan; it must not be DOCOMO, since they don't seem to have the right bands. I suppose I could contact Verizon customer support, but I'm sure they'll just try to...

Re: LTE bands You're probably right. This is disappointing, because the Turbo 2 looks like exactly the phone I wanted in most other ways. Guess I'd better give the Moto X Pure Edition and the Nexus 6P another look.

My family is planning a visit to Japan next summer, and I'm trying to determine whether the Droid Turbo 2 would work with a prepaid data SIM from NTT DOCOMO. But I'm confused. All of the specs I can find for the Turbo 2 say that it supports LTE bands 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, and 13. Pretty limited, and...

I haven't had a Nexus phone since the Verizon Galaxy Nexus. So, I'd love to have a Nexus phone that isn't the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.

Title says it all. Seems like the Google TV version of Amazon Instant Video ought to work on Android TV, but it's marked as incompatible in the Play Store. Is it really?
