I can't explain this, but the notifications are now displaying on my lock screen and I've done nothing AFAIK. Not only do I have the notifications back, there is also a new option to mark the message as read. Very strange, but I'm glad it's working again and I like the new ability to mark the...

I have a Sony Xperia Z3 running Android 6.0.1. I use the Android Messages as my default SMS app. I updated the app 2 days ago to version 2.3.265 and ever since then I no longer get notifications on either the lock screen or when I swipe down to view notifications.

Hi folks, I never charge my Z3 using the magnetic port so therefore I'm looking for a Z3 case that covers magnetic charging port. Even better if it also covers the flap that houses the micro SD and SIM card. I rarely need to open that flap. Preferably a slim case (either leather or some other...

Default app to use based on Bluetooth device Hi! I'd like to be able to control which app is used depending on the Bluetooth device that I am connected to. For example, when I connect to my car, I'd like to play music using Sony's Walkman app. When I connect to my JBL headphones, I'd like...
