    Alarm no longer saying weather or current news when it goes off

    My wife updated her S4 to Kit Kat about a month ago I guess and she has had some bugs here and there related it seems to the update. One of the things is her alarm no longer will say the news or weather when it goes off. I understand from her that this was a native feature of the phone and was...

    Anyway to downgrade the LG G2 back to Jellybean from KitKat?

    Since updating, I have had battery drain issues where before the battery life was amazing. Also, quiet mode no longer works automatically. I have to turn it off and on on my own. After I upgraded to KitKat I did a factory reset. So that has been done already. Can I downgrade my phone? I...

    Looking For a List of Apps/Processes/Services that can be Disabled on the LG G2

    I am not looking to root my phone as I am not looking to end my warranty on it, but I would like a list of apps/processes/services that can be disabled without causing any weirdness with the phone. I have found an ATT list, but going through it, I couldn't find much that the two phone companies...

    Anything I Need to do Special for Battery When first Getting the Phone?

    I bought my LG G2 back on November 23. Last Saturday I spoke with T-Mobile CS and they are sending me out a new phone to replace this one. The reason? It dropped 6% in ten minutes when I was using WiFi to browse the web with nothing else going on. I checked task manager and nothing was running...

    Hide Softkeys no longer work on boot after kitkatupdate

    While I am unable to help, I am curious as to whether or not you're using a custom Rom in order to get Kit Kat or did the US carriers start rolling out the updates?

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    You're talking about when using third party apps you are unable to send MMS messages? I can send MMS messages when using the stock app with no issues after getting the APN settings adjusted by talking with a T-Mobile CS person. This is with having no data plan.

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    Let me explain. I do not work, and neither does my wife. I am her full-time caregiver, and unfortunately we do not get paid to care for family members. She does however receive disability payments. So whatever money I get comes from her disability pay. So you figure, the cost of the G2 is $600...

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    She would press on the circle and it will bring you right to the messaging app. I do like that ability. There is generally no message in the circle, just your contact's icon and that's all. I am stuck with my LG G2 and I do love this phone, please do not get me wrong. I am stuck with it...

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    To each their own? I'm not trying to be mean, just seems like the last two replies are akin to saying the G2 method is good enough for us, therefore it should be for you as well.

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    I do as well, but I was looking for something like my wife has instead of a little window, it's just a little circle with that person's picture in it. There is an alternative to the Facebook Messenger app called Ninja SMS and it has the chat heads, but I cannot get MMS to work with it. I have...

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    Yep, that is what it is. Thank you! I have it downloaded now and am trying to figure out how to set it up for my SMS as the settings tab doesn't include enabling for SMS as a webpage was explaining it.

    Hmmm... I am looking at dynamic notifications currently and I am not seeing that as an option for contacts.

    Ok, so it's not a Android thing then? Does Google Hangouts have that ability?

    Texting Notifications Like the Samsung Galaxy S4?

    One of the things I like on mg wife's Galaxy S4 is that when she receives a text it pops up a small circular picture icon of that particular contact. I think that is pretty darn cool! I was wondering if there is someway to do that with the G2 as well?
