    Anyone not want to upgrade?

    I bought my Moto Z Force when it first came out 2 1/2 years ago and I just don;t see the point in paying to upgrade. I bought a new case and screen protector, which are really cheap now, and I'm just going to see how much I can make it go. I used to upgrade when the battery died, but mine...

    Recent Battery Drain

    OK, so I'm not sure if it and app, and its not terrible, but in the past few weeks the battery seems to be losing power more quickly. I used to be able to leave it at night and it would drop 10-20%, not its dropping about 40%. I'm also using 10-15% more during the day. Any suggestions? If I...

    A quick question, alert for incoming text

    Somehow, I turned off getting a sound or vibration when getting a text. How do I turn it back on? Thanks.

    Spoke with Best Buy customer service

    There have been 35 fires out of 2.5 million units sold. You have a 1 in 42,000 chance of a fire, which is about the same odds of being killed in a car accident. Do a search for Touch disease, Apple doesn't really want to fix it or admit it's an issue. It's not the severity of the issue, its...

    Spoke with Best Buy customer service

    My wife is a diehard Samsung person and has the S7. The Note 7, is just too big and frankly too complex for what most people need. In reality, it is a good piece of kit for what it is. I don;t like Touchwiz, but I would use one if I had to. I think Samsung should get credit for stepping up...

    Apologies

    I have no need for the Note, but I know many people do. I'm just glad Samsung is doing the right thing and recalling faulty equipment. I have to say, sometimes it's fun to troll people who believe their choice of phone makes a difference in the grand scheme of their lives.

    Shattershield worries me

    Mine scratched and I ended up getting a screen shield within the month. This is the first phone I've ever had scratch and was one of the few disappointments I've had with the device.

    Messaging & Email apps

    I have the same issue but on my PC so I don;t think its a Mac issue.

    new Moto mod

    I purchased a battery pack and I will probably buy the speaker. I don't have too much interest in the projector or the camera. I don't think the price is too much more than many other quality devices.

    One month with the Moto Z Force

    I may give Arrow a try this weekend just to see how it is.

    One month with the Moto Z Force

    I have seen no difference in battery usage between Nova Launcher, Google Now Launcher, or the Action Launcher 3.

    One month with the Moto Z Force

    One caveat: I did end up downloading Nova Launcher so I could have a 5x5 grid. I would also categorize this as a con. This should be a stock feature.

    One month with the Moto Z Force

    One Month Later I've had my Moto Z Force for a month now and it's the best phone I've owned. The battery pack comes in handy if you like to do outdoor things, yet need to be able to be reached. Most of the time I keep the standard back on it, but I do have a case I that covers it for added...

    Command center

    I started using it when I got the phone and it seems fine. I did end up downloading Nova Launcher because I wanted to change the grid to 5 across.

    Battery mod

    I'll get the battery mod for when I need it and keep a case or a Moto mod on it for everyday use.
