    Note 10+ or S20+?

    It's an entirely personal decision, of course. I bought the Note 10+ on the rebound from Apple, but I don't use the pen, and I'd like a little less weight. I have submitted a reservation for the S20+. Here are my reasons: a $700 trade-in for the Note, plus a $200 credit that will give me a free...

    Wear OS derailed

    I have been a huge supporter of Android and Wear OS, but now I am feeling very disappointed. First, that there is no where to even submit a bug report. Second, and presently, I have two late model Android smartwatches in the drawer, because text messages do not appear. They're currently hidden...

    Android N for Nexus 6P?

    I just bought a Nexus 6P. Love it. I know a new 2016 Nexus may be out in the near future. Is it reasonable to expect that Nexus 6P will get the Android N update, and if so, how long after the Nexus release? Thank you very much.

    Notifications "feature"

    Under current Android Wear design, you have to have App Notifications On and Sound or Vibrate On in order to get a notification sent to the watch. In Gmail, for example, I have Notifications on, but Sound and Vibrate off because I don't want to disturb others. This still gets me the...

    Returned my LG G

    Regretfully, due to inadequate vibration IMHO. My Sony Smartwatch 2 is much better in that regard. I'm sure better stuff is coming. Posted via Android Central App

    Is there a way to remove the weather and blinkfeed elements from the home page?

    I had a chance to call HTC today, and they say these elements can't be removed, but will add the suggestion for a future update. Thanks, all!

    Am I the only one here excited for the S3 Mini?!?!

    No, you're not. I think we have to realize it hasn't even made it to the US carriers yet. I have had the Galaxy SII Skyrocket, the Galaxy Note I, the Galaxy Nexus, and previously three iPhones. I found that while I thought I wanted a larger phone - for reading about 30 news feeds a day - I...

    Wifi without data plan?

    I bought a Verizon JetPack because I wanted secure wifi to check my bank and credit card info while traveling. Once I realized it was portable wifi ANYWHERE, I started thinking. Finally sold my Samsung Galaxy Note, canceled my AT&T data plan, bought a Razr v9x and a Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0...

    Hi, I'm an iPhone convert!

    I just walked away from my iPhone 4 for the HTC Inspire 4G. I had an iPhone 3G and always wanted a larger screen - I read a lot of news, and was disappointed when they didn't increase the screen size, even though several competitors already had. Further, I was not enjoying feeling locked into...
