    What changed in 6.0 that makes the "wipe cache partition" command so slow?

    I don't recall ever wiping the cache partition on my Nexus 4, but each time I've done it on my Nexus 5 it's taken anywhere between 3 to 5 minutes, I'd say. I assumed that was the norm.

    Android 6.0 marshmallow - app issues

    Are you talking about the core Google apps, or are you referring to 3rd party apps? You may want to check to see if the apps that aren't working have been updated/optimized for running on Android 6.0, yet? Look at each apps page in the Play Store to see when the latest update was pushed out...

    Navigation & Music Simulataneously?

    That's how it happens on my Nexus 4. I'm not sure which music program(s) you're using but when I'm streaming Google Music or Pandora the music lowers (not pauses) when the navigation voice comes on.

    Back to iPhone 4s

    The OP may have been referring to MMS messages over wi-fi, which the Galaxy S III does not allow. From my conversations with Samsung support, Samsung designed the phone not to allow MMS over wi-fi. On my HTC EVO - SMS & MMS over wi-fi all the time. On my HTC EVO 3D - SMS & MMS over wi-fi all...

    What alarm clock apps are you using?

    I've used Gentle Alarm across multiple phones - HTC EVO, Motorola Photon, HTC EVO 3D, & Samsung Galaxy S III - and I've yet to have any issues. It has puzzles and math tests that you're looking for in an app. It's $2.50, but there is a free trial version that's missing the option to ring on...

    MMS over wi-fi? Samsung says it's not possible.

    Thanks. Do you know if this is carrier-specific, Samsung, or specifically the Galaxy S III? I've never had a similar issue with another phone on any network, nor did I have this issue on the HTC One X. I just find it a bit odd. I suppose it really doesn't matter when the MMS messaging is...

    MMS over wi-fi? Samsung says it's not possible.

    Has anyone had issues sending/receiving MMS over wi-fi on the S III? I regularly use Handcent and contacted them about the issue, but there hasn't been a solution. I've tried both the stock messaging system and Go SMS with the same results. I noticed that this was also being discussed over on...

    Any luck at your local AT&T store -today- (non pre-orders)??

    Just called the store in the Providence Place Mall in RI and I was told that they have "a ton" of the Galaxy S III phones, if anyone in the area is wanting one.

    Any luck at your local AT&T store -today- (non pre-orders)??

    I spoke with an employee at the Smithfield, RI store yesterday and was told that their store probably wouldn't have Galaxy S III phones until Sunday. I was told that I could call today and check, but they weren't expecting any Galaxy S III phones today.

    Any luck at your local AT&T store -today- (non pre-orders)??

    I tried to place an order in-store tonight at the AT&T store in Providence Place Mall in RI. The female associate was very willing to help, but when she went into the computer it wasn't allowing them to do direct fulfillment orders for the SG III. Another associate then chimed in to say that the...

    Go Launcher EX latest version...

    It's amazing how simply installing a new skin overlay can bring so much life back to a phone. Can anyone tell me how to remove the two Home Manager notifications (Home Manager & Quick Switcher) that stay up in my notification bar? Is it possible to remove them?

    Have Photon Questions? Ask 'em here

    I'm guessing you'd have to use the Sprint ID feature to get a similar effect of HTC's multiple Scenes option. It's possible that some of the other 3rd part launchers allow this, as well, but I don't use any of them so I don't know.

    Has Anyone Gotten The Official New Market Yet?

    I just received the new Market layout today on my Motorola Photon. I didn't ever try clearing the cache or anything. I was a bit surprised because I wasn't even expecting the new layout.
