    Is package disabler pro worth it?

    I use it for a pretty aggressive shut down of all the bloat and features I don't use, and get about a 50% increase in battery life (15 hrs versus 10). Posted via the Android Central App

    Thinking about leaving for an Iphone

    I've had the Note 3, 4, and 5, and my wife the Note 4. No trouble with any of them. I switched from iPhone 5s (4 and 3 before that). Glad I did. I still use an iPad, and much prefer Android system. Posted via the Android Central App

    AT&T Marshmallow release possible for 3-11-16

    Verizon customers are reporting a lot of issues with the update. I think I'll wait until I get a new phone. I'm getting 14--16 hours battery time with Package Disabler Pro (moderate use) and everything is running smoothly on Lollipop. Posted via the Android Central App

    Audio pauses or dropouts when playing podcasts or music?

    I had that experience on every phone I've had when on Bluetooth. Occasionally even on wired headsets (Samsung Note 3, Note 4, and S5/and S6). I don't get it as much on the LG G4, but it still happens. My guess is that a phone is doing a lot in the background (unlike a dedicated mp3 player) and...

    circle case ...anyone using one?
