    First ring low then sounds jump up - any fix for this?

    Re: Ringtone Varying from Loud to Soft RE: Samsung Gal S5 ringtone varying from loud to soft. I know this post was from 2015, but my husband's Samsung Galaxy S5 just recently started ringing with the sound varying from soft to loud over and over. I tried everything and even the AT&T people...

    Why doesn't the fingerprint scanner work when I turn my phone on.

    I signed up for Android Pay and have to have the screen locked. I use the fingerprint scanner. When I turn my phone on in the mornings, the fingerprint scanner never works and my backup password never works. There is an option to change the password. I then have to change my password which...

    I'm leaving the Galaxy S6 Edge+ for the iPhone

    I'll never go iPhone because I like having an external micro SD card slot. I keep all of my music on it instead of streaming. As far as battery goes, I just bought a 13,000ma charger for $14.95 and carry it in my purse. I can charge my phone 3-4 times on 1 charge. I'm happy.

    Google photos problem

    Re: Location of Google Photos/google gallery Your photos are on the cloud, not on your phone. You probably need to download them to your phone. Next time, print them off before erasing them from your phone.

    G2 instant death syndrome?

    Rukbat: That is weird! Have you reset the phone at all? I did 3 times with no success. As long as they're pushing updates through, it will keep messing up. Posted via the Android Central App

    G2 instant death syndrome?

    They wouldn't replace my phone because I'm no longer under warrantee and still on 2- year contract. They keep saying it's my phone, but I just recently went back to the LG because it has stayed on for 5 days. Another "Android updating" message and it's shutting on and off again. When they...

    G2 instant death syndrome?

    As of today, Aug. 6th, 2015, my phone came on and stayed on for a few hours. All of a sudden, another Android update and now the phone will not come on past the LG Logo for about 4 days now. It's very frustrating. I had to go back to my old Motorola phone until my contract is up in November...

    When will the LG G2 reach EOL?

    I began having problems about a week ago - phone shutting off many times a day, sluggish, Android updates every morning. Tried several things - removing most widgets from screens, uninstalling unnecessary apps, resetting back to factory, etc. Talked to AT&T Support (removing widgets idea and...

    Cant decide between the G2 and the note 3

    I have an LG G2 phone and I absolutely love it! Its a large phone and has handwriting note-taking abilities through apps. W hat I really like about it is the 32 gig internal memory, the dual batteries that extend battery life and the 13 megapixel camera. I like the large size of the phone...
