Excellent, that did it. As far as I'm concerned it and all the Samsung bloat can go away. This is a great phone let down by the over the top Samsung nonsense installed on it.

I have an S8+ and my wife has an S8. In my Google contacts, I have a nice picture of her stored. However, she evidently created a new image in her Samsung profile (why do we need a Samsung profile?) and now my phone replaced the nice picture I have with a goofy one of her with bunny ears and...

I guess I suspected that maybe the video camera was using digital zoom, hence the poor quality. What I didn't realize is that there is no optical zoom at all. I always assumed the 4X zoom was optical since I get such good shots with the still camera at full zoom. So then, I assume that if I had...

I've had my Turbo since January, I think. I generally love it and the camera takes great still shots. I rarely shoot video, but a couple weeks ago my daughter was in a driving school and I decided to video her lapping the course. Here's the resulting video: Now, it's been image stabilized...

I was thinking of doing the same with hers. II never did a reset after the upgrade and she's has a couple of issues (the other is GPS is non-functional, seems to be common with the G2). Is there a reset that isn't a full wipe or is she going to be back to an "as-new" configuration (lost...

Funny, she's in Livonia. It seems to only be in the hotel, the office is only about a mile away and it seems fine there.

She's in the northern suburbs of Detroit, no time zone border nearby. I was thinking the time on the nearest cell tower was off, but certainly that would cause a lot of complaints and VZ would fix it pretty quickly. Not to mention no one else that she's traveling with has had issues.

My wife is out of town and her LG g2 changed time on her last night and she was late for her meeting this morning. It was fine all day, but now that she's back at the hotel the time is off an hour again. She has auto time and auto time zone turned on. Any idea what's going on?

Thanks, I did see that post, but I needed to do more than simply unlock the phone. I wanted to unlock it, disable the screen lock and turn on screen debugging so that I could then plug it into a PC and retrieve her pictures. I found on the reviews of some similar adapters users were saying...

My daughter's S3 has a broken screen. Touch does not work nor does the LCD. She has a lock screen on her phone so I cannot access it with Kies or any other PC software. I bought an HDMI and USB adapter thinking I could see the phone screen on my TV and use the mouse to enter the code and then...

Well, I'm glad it's not just me. I'll have to look to see if there's a place at Verizon or Motorola to report a bug.

I use Stitcher for podcasts and on my new Turbo I'm having an issue where it will start playing as soon as the screen turns off. As long as the app is open, as soon as the screen goes off, a podcast starts playing. Anyone else seeing anything similar and have a solution?

Connect to wifi wherever you can. Any data used over wifi doesn't count against your 2GB. I have mine on wifi at home and work and rarely use more than 0.5GB.

I have an issue with certain events in my work exchange calendar displaying on the wrong day. It happens only on my Galaxy Tab Pro, not on my Droid Turbo or my old S3. It happens in all the calendar apps. The events in question were created by our vendor I am Hong Kong, but the time is right...

Thanks everyone. I really like the Google Calendar app, just wish it had a monthly widget. I didn't realize that it could be resized, but it is still only agenda view. I tried Jorte and Digicalc but wasn't sold on either. I may go back and take another look. The monthly widget on my S3 showed...
