    Not able to set default launcher

    The settings changed a bit with the Marshmallow/EMUI 4.0 update, but on Marshmallow: Settings>Apps>Advanced>Default App Settings>Launcher>and make your choice. I don't remember the exact path under Lollipop.

    [Life One X] My phone is in an endless loop of optimizing apps. How do I fix this?

    My daughter had this problem today. Phone died, plugged in the charger, waited awhile, booted up phone, started optimizing apps, rebooted, optimizing, rebooted and so on. The Life One X is the slowest charging phone that I have ever seen. Lollipop is notorious for optimizing apps on reboot and...

    Marshmallow?

    Sounds like an issue with the APN settings. I don't see AT&T in the list. Have you tried setting up a new APN?

    Review: Bought a Sero 8

    I'm sorry that this thread was hijacked. You are displaying incredible ignorance and I probably will not be able to convince you ever. Settings>Location Access> Toggle Access to my location and then check GPS satellites Download GPS Test from the Play Store. Try it. Initial GPS lock can take...

    Urgent - KK upgrade makes screen keep processor awake !

    Looks normal to me. Do you have something to compare it to? Which phone are you coming from? Usually, when your screen is on it is because you are interacting with your phone. I would expect your processor to be "awake" when your screen is on. If your phone is awake the entire time that the...

    '12 Nexus 7 vs. Hisense Sero Pro vs. Memo Pad HD7?

    From my personal experience, the Sero 7 Pro has the same OTG capability (and limitations) as the Nexus 7 ('12). Nexus Media Importer (or root/Stickmount) is required to move media off of a USB drive over to the S7. Mice and keyboards are supported out of the box. The Memo Pad HD 7 does not...
