    Transferring "Messsage+" messages to new phone

    I'd recommend using SMS Backup & Restore Pro https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestorePro (I think there's still a free version as well) to backup everything from your Droid and restore it to the new phone after you get it setup. This will ensure that you get...

    Not getting battery/charging status info at Ambient display Google Pixel 2XL

    You didn't mention if you're running the Android Q Beta or not. Does this happen in Safe mode?

    Pixel 2 snapchat notifications not grouping together, how to fix?

    Don't use that app myself but if other applications behave correctly then it sounds like it's time to complain to the Snapchat developers. Send them an email first and if you don't get any useful feedback then give the app a negative review in the Google Play Store.

    Pixel 3XL from BlackBerry KeyOne Virtual Keyboard

    If you looked at post #4 above (https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?p=6552515) you would see the link to cobalt, which provides a method to download the Blackberry keyboard from the Google Play Store. I tried it but couldn't figure out how to access the suggested words that appear...

    Panorama Photo Questions--Blurry, Settings, Techniques?

    I've never seen an option to change the resolution/quality of a panorama shot. That information is bogus. I have seen the same blurry crap at the top/bottom of my panorama shots - that started awhile back when the Camera application changed: it suddenly started showing panorama shots as though I...

    Fingerprint stopped working after a year

    Or use an application like DevCheck https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.devcheck and check to see if the fingerprint sensor is even shown (see attached screenshot). If it's not you could try reloading the firmware from scratch or just contact Google Support for a replacement.

    Sequencing of favorite (starred) contacts in phone app

    Just be aware that based on usage the OS will randomly rearrange the order of the Favorites in the Phone app. Quite unfortunate that there's not an option to put them in the order you want and have it stay that way.

    Lock Screen Help

    Yes. Send feedback to Google about your dissatisfaction with this implementation. Ask them to provide the user with a way to make that screen brighter, or to select a different font, etc.

    Beta 4 arrived

    The Citi Mobile https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.citi.citimobile app and WhatsApp both work fine on my Pixel 2 XL running the Android Q Beta 4. Can't speak to Amex.

    Nexus 6P not reading USB OTG

    Or try reloading the stock firmware (no root) on the one that has the problem just to be sure that nothing weird is going on. My Nexus 6P never had a problem with USB OTG although IIRC I had to use a 3rd party application to get it working. I could look back through my application history if...

    Why is my Pixel 3XL missing night sight and time lapse

    It would be helpful if you listed the version number of the Camera application. Mine is 6.2.030.244457635 and it has the options that you're looking for.

    I can't seem to retrain the voice model.

    Oh, you mean they should make it like iOS, with just one Settings menu and all the individual settings there?
