    Nexus 6P - Google Opinion Rewards App

    Re: Google Opinion Rewards App wow! very interesting to see how different it seems to be across the board for everyone. Personally, I get 1-2 surveys each day! I've never lied, of course, but I find that a lot of my surveys asked me if I visited a place I didn't visit, and I just end up...

    LG G4 H815 Android Marshmallow update rollout and initial impressions

    It's a one-handed mode that shrinks the screen so you easily tap the top corners with one hand. It was on the G2 and G3 I believe, and also on the new V10. Here's what it looks like: LG's Mini View shrinks things down for better one-handed use | Android Central I never understood why the G4...

    Missing Equalizer

    I use Cyanogenmod's AudioFX equalizer instead, and I think it works great. The APK is over at xda (I can't link since I only have 8 posts), but it's just an APK you install - no root required. I tested in in Spotify and over bluetooth and it works great!

    Nova Launcher in the G4

    I've been using Nova since day 1 of my first android device, and every device since, including the G4. It works great and I don't think I could live without it. Definitely don't let the stock launcher be a dealbreaker, because there are many other launchers out there if it doesn't fit you. The...

    how to make auto brightness a little brighter?

    I think in general the auto brightness is fine (a bit on the dim side). The biggest problem is auto brightness when using the camera!! My god, when I open the camera app, the auto brightness skyrockets all the way down and I can't even see the photo I'm trying to take. This is by far the...

    htc m8 or lg g4??? help

    I had an M7, then got an M8, then bought an M9. Loved the M7/M8, but M9 was just bleh. Hardly an upgrade over the M8 and didn't feel very different. I then decided to pick up an LG G4, and was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked it - in particular the camera! My god, those the M8/M9 don't...

    Why is my Selfie camera blurry?

    Re: "Selfie" camera blurry I bought a second hand M9 off ebay, and it had the same problem! It appears that the front facing camera has issues focusing! It thinks it's focused, but it's definitely not 100% in focus. My face is slightly out of focus. I have an M8, and even though the quality...

    Unable to wipe encrypted HTC ONE

    I realize this is an old thread - but I thought I'd bump it up with an answer for everyone else that's struggling with this problem. Situation: You have a rooted HTC One, with a custom recovery like TWRP and your phone storage is Encrypted. Problem: You can't do a factory wipe of the device...

    HTC One: Great speakers, not nearly loud enough

    I also agree with the OP that the speakers aren't very loud - and I have proof. I have my Lumia 920 and HTC One in front of me - playing the exact same song - and the Lumia 920 is most definitely louder. I only started noticing this problem when trying to watch Netflix with a fan on in my room...

    Typing on it?

    Hey - me too! I feel like having way more trouble than I should. I can go from 920 -> iOS without a problem, but I've been making so many mistakes with the default HTC keyboard. I'll try out the swift key one - but if anyone else has suggestions, let me know!
