Hi. Really want to use both but wanted to see if I can get something cleared up first. 1. when you use android pay, does it show on your credit card statement as android pay or does the merchant show? 2. i've been scammed through venmo before when selling a phone on craigslist. Venmo doesn't...

Having traveled outside the states, I can say that it works as advertised. I've been able to get H speeds most of the time (it sometimes does drop to 3G but resolves itself on its own). The speeds are fast enough for me to browse the web, make hangout VOIP calls and check things like instagram...

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but my wife had this same problem about a month ago and the power button volume down method proved to be a temporary fix only. After a couple days it happened again and the time period between occurrences became shorter until it was happening multiple times a...

I was bummed about this too. Apparently the only thing you can do is go to Settings: Storage: Cached data : Clear. Hope this helps

i think the best bet would be to add global data to your plan for just 1 month. It gives you 100mb of usage which should be plenty for 4 days. It's $25. with it, you can use a message service like kakao, whatsapp and pair it with magicjack app to make phone calls. you can also make calls with...

Took a post Thanksgiving roadtrip with my wife. We visited Stratton for a day of boarding, Montreal then Maine for some lobsters. Only, most of the cities were closed for some reason! Not much to do or see... This photo kind of sums up our trip. Taken on a Droid MAXX and edited with VSCO

You can go on my verizon online and remove all global capabilities which will block all global data and voice which will prevent these messages from popping up. Or you can call vzw support as well.

so i received the hangouts and google search update about 4 days ago and the android cpu usage has completely diminished. I'm dropping about 1% every 2 hours (instead of 1 like before) and now my screen is almost always double the cpu usage. my battery life has also improved a lot and i'm...

My android os is always almost double my screen! My nexus 7 android os is at 10% max between charges

were you able to manage with the 100mb? seems awfully little, especially with background syncing and such

is this a permanent root? from the looks of it, you have to reboot into recovery everytime you want to write... is this correct? also does it factory wipe?

I'm definitely not seeing numbers like these. Wondering if I have a defective unit.

While my battery does last me two days of not so heavy use, I don't think I'm seeing the same numbers as everyone else is ie. "6 hours of on screen time and only at 50%". I'm at 30% right now from full charge with onscreen time of 3h 9m 1D 23H 25M on battery. Android OS taking up a bulk of the...

haha you got burned. your grammar correcting is more abrasive than the grammar you corrected.

I couldn't wait anymore with my loaner S3 which lasted me about half a day. I'll tell you what, the peace of mind was worth it for me. Here are some things to think about which kind of helped me. You're saving more than $100 if you consider the $25 in taxes you won't be paying. In California...
