    Android auto ???s

    The more AA integrates with Waze, the more it is unusable. A while ago for some reason whatever road I am on is squeezed over to the right 20% of the screen. What is the purpose? The traffic colors USED to be bright green, red & yellow. Now they are these skinny pale colors that I can barely...

    Question Pixel 9A, is there a way to have a different tone for email & text?

    Like the title asks, is there any way to set a different tone for the two apps? Is there a separate app that can do this? Thanks Al

    Question poor phone reviews

    Thanks for the reply. When I had VZ, I had to purchase an extender to get reliable coverage for 4g/LTE at home. Had to give up VZ as I live on my boat all summer & VZ coverage is practically non-existent in harbor area & half the city. (I am a retired VZ employee & had a cell with them since...

    Question poor phone reviews

    I wish all these phone reviewers had the ability to test all these new phones they are raving about in an area which DOES NOT have a strong 5g signal. I would like to get a new phone but I am gun shy after the fiasco I went through with the S25+ that I had to return as my home is in a poor...

    S25+ not so good

    Well. after a couple more days of trying to make this fone work, I think I will have to return this. Basic problem is everything is dependent on a good connection. Even trying to use the microphone can fail if it can't connect to google. Tried shutting off 5g to force to 4g , but had the same...

    S25+ not so good

    Did not try safe mode. After numerous failed attempts, was FINALLY able to get a human tech to text with me. Tried a number of things & finally did a reset of all connections. Slightly better but sometimes still get failures connecting to google using mobile. Unfortunately if mobile is shut off...

    S25+ not so good

    I tried separately shutting off both wifi & mobile data. Google still had trouble. Speedtest on the phone wifi=81M down & 110 up. On mobile data 10.1 down & .6 upload. My S22+ used to get about 25 down & about 15 upload. Still can't get the now bar. Yesterday I think a lot of the google issues...

    S25+ not so good

    Got it yesterday. Everybody else in the world must have also as google was screwed up all day. That made it VERY difficult to get it set up. Google couldn't even connect to my wifi with the router 2' away. Said it was slow. Could not sign into google or my email & so on & so on. Slowly between...

    S22+ UI 6.1 killing my battery

    My battery on my S22+ is already weak. I did have battery saver limiting charge to 85%. 6.1 now limits charge to 80%. With hardly any use other than Angry Birds 2. UI 6.1 is taking 14. 7% battery use while AB2 takes 14.8%. Is there any thing I can do to alleviate this.

    fingerprint scanner S22+ not working

    When I say it's always been terrible, that is compared to the Motorola fones I had before. At that time I also remember reviewers saying the print scanner was problemitic. I had both thumbs & a forefinger registered. Now, none work. Tried adding the forefinger again & after repeated tries it...

    fingerprint scanner S22+ not working

    The fingerprint scanner has always been terrible. Now it doesn't work at all. This startyed before update to UI 6. I can't even add a new print. It will get to about 67% (after multiple tries) and then say can't register new print. I do not have a screen protector on the phone. Thanks Al
