The phone is just a tiny bit too wide with the squared off back. We came from the Droid Turbo which is only 2-3 mm narrower, but its curved back made it much more comfortable for one handed use. It's such a problem that my wife and I are debating returning both of ours to Best Buy and getting...

The simplest option would be to use a file manager to create a copy of all your photos in a different folder on your device, or to move them to your PC before deleting them from Google Photos and then disabling the app or, at the very least, the backup feature.

The all new Google Cardbeard V2. Now works with beards from "5 o'clock shadow" to "ZZ Top"!

I have not replaced my Turbo through Asurion yet, but I have dealt with them in the past. You generally receive a replacement device within a day two, depending on when you make the claim, and you receive a bare, almost-always-refurbished device with no accessories. As far as SIM cards, I...

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Also, phones have not gotten so big they won't fit in a Ziploc bag. You're just not using a big enough one. When phones are too big for gallon size bags, then we can talk about Hefty. Posted via the Android Central App powered by Droid Turbo

Nothing will change. The device is functioning as designed. What you're seeing as a flaw is actually a feature.

Thanks! I forgot about that app though I used it on another device previously. Plus, with the AMOLED screen, lower brightness equals power savings Posted via the Android Central App powered by Droid Turbo

Regardless, that's no reason not to share my experience on a community forum. I've already said in my original post everything these comments have said about luck, angles, etc. Hopefully there's no real issue, and we're thrilled the screen will be repaired for free, but if everyone just...

I don't know nothin' 'bout no NITS, but my phone has been plenty bright in all situations. In fact, my only complaint about the brightness is it doesn't go low enough for my taste when viewing in darkness. Posted via the Android Central App powered by Droid Turbo

I haven't seen that ability, but it would be entirely dependent on what music app you're using. I know several of the eBook apps allow you to pin a widget shortcut to a specific book, so the functionality is definitely possible. Posted via the Android Central App powered by Droid Turbo

Please do. The only anecdotal evidence I have is related to the screen breaking without much force. I'd love to read other reports of the screen not breaking with a large amount of force applied. This way, people can make an informed decision about the phone. Mine is still pristine, & I...

UPDATE: We left the phone sitting on the table and when we came back and checked a notification, the small crack across the bottom of the screen had expanded and now a branch runs all the way up the left side and into the middle of the screen. Posted via the Android Central App powered by Droid...

I had originally posted this in another thread but decided it needed its own. When I was in the store buying 3 of them, a kid came in trying to get his pictures transferred from his two day old, cracked Droid Turbo. I assumed it was an isolated incident, but today, my wife dropped hers in the...
