    Where are my Gmail Contact Groups?

    Does anyone have a workaround for this? I saw some talk about a "contacts group," but I'm not quite sure how it works. You basically sent an email to one address and then it automatically was sent to the addresses associated with the contact group. If you have a big distro (like I do. greater...

    Got Oreo on Nexus 6P from Beta

    Anyone else seeing battery life issues? I was on the Beta with no issues other than some minor stability weirdness. I got the update less than an hour after it was announced. It was a short update and didnt see anything majorly different. Until today. My battery was drained by noon. I had a...

    G6 keyboard

    Hey Jerry. Do you think it's possible that the G6 could have a physical keyboard? Ever since I saw the first leak of just the top of the phone that came with rumors of the new aspect ratio, I have thought there might be a possibility. Do you think you could go back to a physical keyboard as...

    Long Text/ Concatenated SMS

    I seem to remember back in the day (I might have been running a droid x), I had a messenger app that had a setting that would automatically convert SMS to MMS once the character number rolled over 160. Was that actually a thing? Or am I imagining it? Maybe it was a thing before concatenated...

    Long Text/ Concatenated SMS

    Since Fi does not support Concatenated SMS, every time I send a text longer than 160 characters, it gets split up before it gets delivered. Has anyone found a workaround for this issue? Is there a certain app that performs what the network provider normally does? Is there a way to force an MMS...

    Long text messages / SMS being received as multiple, not combined

    Re: Long text messages / SMS being received as multiple, not comb Has anyone found a workaround for this issue? Is there a certain app that performs what the network provider normally does? Is there a way to force an MMS (other than long pressing on the send icon and creating a subject). Since...

    Can I force Wi-Fi assistant to establish a secure connection?

    Wi-Fi assistant doesn't automatically secure a open network for me. Sometimes after I connect to an open network, I will get a notification asking if I would like Wi-Fi assistant to secure the connection. I have to select yes and then the key icon appears in the status bar over the wifi icon...

    3 dots on the back?

    There are 3 dots on the back next to the flash. Anyone know what they are for? Do they do something for laser focusing for the camera? Battery level indicator? I havens seen any details on it yet.

    Permanent front page link to Latest Android News page

    The app is in the same boat. I can't find the right thread at all using the app. I just did a search for Android news. It revealed a headline that had august 11 (today is the 12th). When I tapped on it, it took me to the one for the 9th. When I tap on the refresh this page link, it still only...

    Wi-Fi radio repair

    The problem isn't that my phone "won't connect to wifi." The problem is that "Wi-Fi will not switch on." I click the toggle and it moves to the right for two seconds then immediately moves back to the left off position. It is definitely an issue with the phone not router issues. That being...

    Wi-Fi radio repair

    I have had issues with the Wi-Fi on my Moto X 2014. After tons of troubleshooting, I begrudgingly determined it is a hardware issue. Since I have replaced the screen once before, I am not unfamiliar with disassembly/reassembly. But I don't have a lot of experience. However, I need some...

    [Closed] Enter now for a shot at the new Samsung Galaxy S7!

    Currently I have a Moto X 2014 on Verizon. I really want the bump to Marshmallow, but I don't want to pay for a new phone. In the past I have hated Touchwiz and have opted for more vanilla android (hense, Moto X). A free S7 could give me a chance to change my mine about touchwiz.
