    Share your Note20 Ultra and Note20 Homescreen Setup thread.

    Very nice! I usually prefer less clutter, but the icon set plus the wallpaper look really clean together!

    Share your Note20 Ultra and Note20 Homescreen Setup thread.

    I rarely deviate from this setup, though there have been a few minor changes (using MS Edge instead of Firefox as my browser). Wallpaper is from the Google Wallpapers app and I change it periodically, favoring landscapes. I stopped using custom icon sets years ago, because there's always that...

    AC Forum Updated Reviews S20 series

    Re: AC Forum updated reviews. Agreed... to my eyes, at least, it doesn't look that much flatter, but it makes a noticeable difference in typing comfort!

    First impressions

    I have two lines in my account, and just added the 3a XL as my secondary line (the iPhone XS is primary). It’s a remarkable phone for the money - it really has no business being this good! I took a few portrait-mode photos on each device, and here are my impressions: the Pixel photos were...

    Pixel 3a crooked charging port

    The cutouts on my 3a XL align perfectly with the cutouts of the Spigen Tough Armor case. Perhaps, as others have suggested, this is only a problem with the 3a, and only with a small number of them (hopefully).

    New Pixel 3a - Security updates March 5 2019

    I received it this morning (and assume it was available some time during the overnight hours, too).

    New Pixel 3a - Security updates March 5 2019

    I’m not seeing it on my 3a XL yet. I assume they’re rolling out in batches. I bought mine at a T-Mobile store. Is the firmware identical to those purchased directly from Google?

    I can't call or send SMS but I can receive them. How do I fix this problem?

    Welcome to Android Central! Have you tried contacting your mobile carrier? Is this an unlocked phone, or is it locked to your carrier? The credit-card-expiration message makes it sound like you're on a prepaid account and don't have sufficient funds to cover the calls and/or messages you're...

    why is settings application is missing amd how to find it.

    Welcome to Android Central! I suspect you've just removed the Settings shortcut from your home screen. If so, you can easily add it back by doing the following: 1) access the app drawer by swiping up from the bottom of the screen (or by tapping on an icon that looks like a grid of dots) 2)...

    How to restore one app from a google drive backup to a new phone

    Welcome to Android Central! How frustrating! I've recently restored data from one phone to another using automatic Google Drive backups. It seems that it works well when the two phones are running the same version of Android, while it's unreliable (at best) when the two phones are running...

    Lookout

    It's pre-installed on all of T-Mobile's Android phones (at least all of the ones I've purchased), regardless of manufacturer. Regardless, I've never used it and it's one of the first things I disable when setting up a new phone. Don't download anything from dodgy websites and you'll be safe.
