Oh my! Of all people, you would expect an Android site programmer to recognize P3, but AC autocorrects to People or Perfect. Sorry, People, I am not Perfect.

Thanks! One needs to be a spelunker to find all of the PEOPLE nooks and crannies. I switched back to stock Messages now.

Your problem is slightly different, but reminds me of a re-provisioning problem that I had with Verizon a couple of years ago. When I travel, I use a local SIM card. when I returned to the US and inserted my VZW SIM card, it would not work. My wife's iPhone had no problem. Verizon said that this...

Battery is certainly not in the 9 Lives CATegory. Mostly, I just use basic functions (personal email, texts, news and various lists Wunderlist, Evernote and Shopping List). I don't take or watch videos, and not many stills. My battery gets probably 4.5 to 5 hrs SOT. That said, it charges so...

And, if you use Textra for messages, you can customize notification sounds for different people.

Oh, of course it is there. Thank you!

No update yet - still showing September security patch - but my P3 stock launcher reset itself overnight while plugged in and on Wi-Fi. Pages gone, folders gone, all back to initial icon setup with Google news feed to the left. Apps are still in the drawer and no data loss, apparently. Only...

Got my P3 from Google ~10.18 but still has September security patch and no update notification. On VZW but i understand that ovember patch should come directly from Google. Am I the only one who has not been updated? There seems to be no way to manually update

Getting a new phone is like getting a new house, car, golf clubs, skis or tennis racquet. Those who spend time researching and joining forums tend to well informed and pick what they are confident they will like. That said, there is a learning curve. Every device/operating system has it's quirks...

Whew! Thanks mustang7757. Found it at Settings|Apps&Notifications|Advanced|Special App Access. MikeDee : Perhaps you get notifications because you have granted permission to the browser that you are using. It is interesting, though, that users get different results using the same phone in the...

I use Textra because it allows custom notification tones. It has this feature in Settings. It uses the terms Chat vs Bulk but works the same way.

Help please: I need to install an app not available from the Play Store. On past Android phones there was an option, usually under Security, to "Trust Unknown Sources." I cannot find it on my Pixel 3. The APK downloads and gives me the option to open it with Android Installer, which does...

You can cancel and get a full refund within 30 days of ship date.

Thanks, Gary! Using Bluemail for the first time and it appeared that it was sending full-size pix but I found the settings and it asked when sending if I wanted to reduce file size. Textra also has a setting for that.

My previous HTC and LG phones allowed me to reduce file size when emailing or texting photos, so I could send 250k instead of the 10 MB original, for example. I am using Google Photos and cannot find an option to reduce file size when sending photos. Am I just not finding it or do they expect me...
