    No notification alerts after last update on my S9+

    I just ran into this as well. Specifically when i am connected to my Gear sport watch. For me, the problem was the volume control seems to have been tweaked during the update. (I found this out after doing the post update things like clearing the cache partition which does seem to have fixed a...

    Nope. I have been in apps and gotten text messages via that pill notification.

    What color Note 7 did you buy?

    Black for me, then exchanged for a black s7 edge, then exchanged for the black note 7 with a green battery icon. I settled on a black and platinum Spigen case. understated and classy.

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Got mine yesterday. I called my corporate AT&T store in the morning and they didn't have them, didn't have a real ETA. I was out picking up an iPhone for my boss at the Apple Store across the street so I decided to stop by AT&T since I was there. They had just gotten them in. I returned the GS7...

    AT&T Note 7 Recall Thread

    Okay, I just returned my Note 7 at the AT&T store. They have no idea when the new ones will be in but they seem to be ready for it to be a while. I picked up a S7 edge for the meantime. I just had the note 7 perfectly how I wanted it too! Oh well. The S7 edge is a good phone, but it is no note...

    Gear S2 Classic EOL

    Yeah, I just hope this isn't one of those things where they draw you out for months and end up saying "sorry, we don't make that any more."

    Gear S2 Classic EOL

    Hmmm... I hat one on order through AT&T. They didn't have any in the store so they ordered it. My original ship date was supposed to be between 8/25 and 8/29. Last night (8/29), I got an email saying my ship date has changed. Now it is supposed to be between 9/24 and 9/28. I don't like the looks...

    Amazon Warehouse deals on Moto X Pure Edition

    Re: Good deal on Pure I just got the same deal. ($30 off at Amazon) Pushed me over the edge to order it. (I had been debating between this and the Nexus 6P)

    6P case and holster?

    I don't have actual experience with this model, but I am a Seidio-style holster type of a guy, myself. I currently have a Moto X 2014 that never had the Seidio holster available for it. I jury-rigged a solution with the holster from a galaxy s5 and a body glove tpu case. I was looking at the 6P...

    Moto X 2014 Cases!

    I have always used Seidio surface case and holster combos on my phones. I got tired of waiting for Seidio to come out with one for the new Moto X. I ended up getting a Casemate naked tough case for the new Moto X and the surface holster for the Galaxy s5. They fit pretty well together. The only...

    Stock android email app

    I have the gpad and love everything about it except the lame email app. Does anyone know a way to simply install the stock android email app. (I have both a nexus 4 and moto x and the email experience on both of those is perfect. I am not interested in installing an alternate rom. Sent using...

    Nook HD & HD+ On Sale For Father's Day

    One more thing to think about. The Nexus 7 is fragile! I had a nexus 7 and now a nook HD (thanks to the ultra cheap father's day pricing which, apparently, they are continuing for a while.) Anyway, I took my nexus 7 off the charger and it fell a short distance to the carpeted floor. The screen...

    kindle app question

    Well I have an HD that isn't rooted, but I would imagine that the books would be in the same place. Download a file manager app like x-plore from the google play store. Then the files are under /sdcard/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files You can use the app to copy those files into a place that...
