It's behind and two centimeters to the right of the Flux Capacitor. 😎 Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Also, I believe "Powered by Android" is the preferred language in the agreements with OEMs relating to the usage of Play Services. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

This has always been the behavior I've experienced. I think that it ever behaved otherwise for you was a fluke or the result of some setting somewhere I've never noticed. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

Since both the Maxx and the Pebble support Bluetooth 4LE, the constant connection shouldn't drain that much. However the actual data transfer for notifications and other sorts of things (Glance for example) can start to add up. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I have the original Pebble and by and large, that hasn't been my experience. Battery life has lots of variables, but after a year of wearing my Pebble every day I can't say that I've detected a consistent pattern of noticeably shorter phone battery life. That said, this is based upon my usage...

Txt messaging doesn't use mobile data. It takes advantage of available bandwidth in the normal communications between your phone and the CDMA voice network. Sent from my XT1080 using Tapatalk

I had had some issues. In the end I (in this order) Signed out on the phone, started but didn't complete the sign in to a different account on the phone, uninstalled the Chrome extension, reinstalled the chrome extension, signed back in to the correct account on the phone, signed back into the...

Press and hold power for a few seconds (the screen must already be on, but this will work while the phone is locked.) There will be a pop-up with buttons at the bottom for Silent, Vibrate, and On. Or you could get a Pebble smartwatch like me and use a watch app to toggle the ringer. 😝 Sent...

It's still working for me. Be aware that there are two different trigger phrases, "Ok, Google," which works when the Google Search app is active and, "Ok, Google Now," which triggers Motorola's Touchless Controls feature. "What's Up," is a function of Touchless Control not Google Now. When the...

Well, FDR and removing Chrome helped for a while, then things got really bad again. Now the good news, an associate at Verizon suggested (matter-of-factly) to keep AT Least 4GB of internal memory free. As annoyed as I am that means even less available actually usable space, it has returned...

It's part of Verizon's backup assistant bloatware. It can't be disabled without rooting the phone. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
