I also have Vz unlimited with a Nexus 5X running 6.0.1. Foxfi works great for me & now I'm glad I did not update to Nougat. I just tried the hotspot on my phone & it won't allow me to activate the feature without going through Vz subscription. So, I have to stick with Nougat. Al

Thanks for the replies. Al

I never installed the July update due to all the volume problems. Now I can't get the Aug. update. It must be in a system folder somewhere, but I can't find it to delete it. Thanks Al

Look for an app called power toggles. Al

All you people are correct, "best" is subjective. I should have asked about a quality replacement alternative to Photos. PTkelley, there was no need for your disparagement. I'm just letting it be known that I have NEVER, nor will I ever drink the Apple Koolaid. I'm leery about Google getting...

How do I get my contacts over to my new phone. I cannot find any way to even create a VZ account without going through Gmail. There is no app in the store or on the VZ site. If I absolutely, positively have to go through gmail, I guess I can with it. However , I have 154 contacts in the VZ...

Yeah, I searched, no luck. Also no cloud backup. This is on my girlfriend's fone. Al

All of a sudden most fotos were gone yesterday. This morning all the rest except for one are gone. Any ideas? Al

I'm thinking I might have to get the "Rogue Wave" & mount a small router up under the flybridge. It's a little pricey solution at about $450 total. Al

I have one of the old unlimited data plans from Verizon. Tethering is blocked. I can use Pdanet & Foxfi for fone to laptop. Cannot connect to the tablet that way. Thanks Al

Trying to pick up an Xfinity wifi signal on my boat in the marina. At high tide I can get 1 or 2 bars. At low tide, nothing. Thanks Al Quick reply to this message Reply
