    Quick thoughts from long time iphone user

    Although I'm not a fan of Itunes, if you want to continue using ITunes to buy and store your songs, you can have Google seamlessly upload them all for use on your phone. Download the Music Manager from Google (https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/1075570?hl=en). It installs on your...

    Android Central Site very laggy

    I've noticed for awhile now that the Android Central website is VERY slow on my work computer. I'm wondering if this is a general issue, or if I am having localized problems. I don't notice this lag on all websites. Example of lagginess: slow scrolling. There is a noticeable pause before...

    NONE choice is missing

    Google Now - am I missing something?

    Here's a couple of examples of things that I have really liked: I was taking a trip to California by car, and picking someone up at the LAX airport, then driving to another part of LA to stay at a hotel.

    How long is the Galaxy S3 generally supposed to last on a single charge?

    You may want to try to rule out any unusual battery drainage issues. Try checking under Settings - Battery frequently to see what is using the most battery resources. If you have the screen on a lot, that should be the highest user. If you notice something else is consistently using a lot of...

    Galaxy S3 Battery Problems

    I have been having similar problems. I have seen postings on other sites about a battery drain issue associated with the Google Play Store. The app evidently caused problems with location services. There is evidently a new update out today aimed at fixing the problem. I have not gotten the...

    Phone running hot while Idle

    I have had this happen before, and my problem turned out to be a cell network issue. I have a friend whose apartment seems to be in a dead zone for data coverage. If I go to his apartment, my phone is constantly looking for data. The problem is made worse when an app is trying to use data...

    Texting Problems after OTA update

    Thanks for the tip. That appears to have fixed it. I just wish the ATT customer service rep would have listened to what I asked them to do immediately. Instead, he insisted on going through a whole laundry list of other possible causes before re-registering the phone on the system. It was...

    Texting Problems after OTA update

    Yes. I deleted the 3rd party messaging app that I was using, and have just been running the stock messaging app ever since. I was trying to rule out the 3rd party app as the problem.

    Texting Problems after OTA update

    I've been having texting issues ever since applying the OTA update a few days ago. The basic problem is that usually (but not always), texts simply fail to send. I receive a message indicating a "failure" of the text to send. I also rarely (but not always) fail to receive text messages. A...
