    New phone email notification

    Hi all, Am I right in thinking that if you set up your Google account on a new phone, Google will send an email to your Google account notifying you of a new phone? I've gotten the wife a new phone for xmas and was wondering whether setting it all up for her before hand would give it away...

    Recent software update side effects

    It's not a lens flare, it just behaves like one. Its only noticeable when pointing at something bright and it creates a smaller ghosting image across the screen. Definitely never seen anything like that before.

    Cant upload a video at the moment but you can see the problem just to the right of the gap in the curtains.

    Recent software update side effects

    Hi guys, Woke up this morning (uk) to an update from Samsung. Set it running. When done, went out and took some pictures and a video. When looking at them later, I noticed they were washed out and not at all the quality I'd usually expect. I thought maybe I was just shooting towards the sun...

    Moto 360 Keeps Turning Off. Please Help!

    Mine has started doing the exact same thing recently. Has there been an update recently that's caused this? Seems a bit coincidental. Posted via the Android Central App

    Is unlocked the same as unbranded?

    There's no o2 branding or splash screens, just 1 o2 app that it let me Uninstall and the email signatures in the stock email app defaulted to something like 'sent frome Samsung on o2' Posted via the Android Central App

    Is unlocked the same as unbranded?

    Hi, Ive just received an unlocked s7e from eBay which is operating fine with my 3 sim, however, it does have evidence of o2 software on it. I'm assuming that mean it wasn't unbranded, just unlocked from o2. If it was o2 and now unlocked with a 3 sim, does the system updates still come from...

    What things do the QR codes set up?

    Just curious really. I noticed that going from Cardboard V1 to a better plastic but still cheapo holder from Amazon, that it changed the size and shape of the views but does it change anything else? I ask because, although the new viewer has adjustable lens, I still have to have them pulled...

    Upgraded my G4 to Marshmallow and now it's overheating and keeps restarting, what can I do?

    Mine has been getting a lot hotter than usual since the update. Not bad enough to make it shut down but the screen auto dim happens a hell of a lot more often now. Even when just writing this, the brightness has been up and down several times! I play a game that used to run for about 20 minutes...

    External battery pack issue?

    Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, it's kind of annoying. I have an LG G4 and an external battery pack for top ups when I'm not near a socket. When ever the phone is plugged in, it keeps turning on and vibrating as if it's just started charging. Won't stay...

    Android Central Photo Contest: Trees

    Ive actually submitted this one on a previous contest but as ive only just got my G4 back from repair and my old M8 with a scuffed up lens wasnt going to get anywhere, all ive still got tree wise is this. Taken on LG G4, tweaked in snapseed.

    Can a phone get so hot that it causes the camera glass to shatter?

    Hi guys. I am trying to determine the cause of my broken camera to make sure it doesn't happen again. Yesterday, my LG G4 was working fine, taking pictures, I was happy. As I was using my DSLR for most picture taking, my phone was in the house for the most part, as far as I'm aware, still...
