    Having frustrating issues with bilingual voice tying Anyone else?

    Searched through numerous sites and tried various remedies, different keyboards without any success. Looks like Google tried to simplify the process by eliminating manual language selection and in the process made it worse and practically unusable. Hopefully this will be addressed in the next...

    Having frustrating issues with bilingual voice tying Anyone else?

    I have 2 languages installed on the S7, but it doesn't seem to matter which language I switch the keyboard to, the voice typing output is often messed up, meaning that google does not properly recognize the correct language. On my old phone, I had an option to pick the voice type language, but...

    Will data on an unlocked S7 work as well as on a T-Mobile device?

    So I've found out that the unlocked S7 does not have all the bands (it's missing FDD LTE Band 12) that the braded version has. Is this a concern when it comes to data speeds and connectivity? Also when it comes to warranty, T-Mobile does advance replacement, so you're not left out without a...

    Yes bought it outright. Probably around a year or so.

    Unlocked vs carrier branded warranty experience

    Thanks SpookDroid, however I never purchased any extra insurance from T-Mobile. When I had an issue with the phone, I initiated the replacement directly through T-Mobile, not the store.

    Unlocked vs carrier branded warranty experience

    I will be looking to replace my G3 with either a G5 or S7 (leaning towards S7 edge), and would like some input on unlocked vs carrier branded device. While it seems that a lot of folks prefer an unlocked phone, I'm concerned about potential issues with warranty service. When I had an issue with...

    T-Mobile Lollipop text notifications

    After upgrading to Lollipop, when I get a text message, most of my text message notifications are missing from the notification bar. I do get the sound, but not the little text icon. They do sporadically appear, but most of the time are missing. Anyone having the same issue?

    When will my T-Mobile G3 upgrade to Lollipop?

    My previous G3 upgraded itself to Lollipop about 3 weeks ago, but unfortunately it had a screen issue (hardware related) and T-Mobile sent me a new device under warranty. Been using the new one for over a week and it constantly tells me that the system is up to date. Anything I can do manually...

    Lag from my LG G3 vanished! :D

    Made the biggest mistake by switching to ART. While it made the device just slightly faster, my battery is draining at an extremely fast pace. Before the switch, I was able to use my G3 for 2 solid days on one charge. Now, my the battery drains before my eyes while idling. I switched back to...

    We need an extended life battery.

    I charge my G3 once ever 2-3 days. Extremely happy with the battery life. On my previous device (HTC One M7) I was lucky to get through one day, especially with WIFI turned on.

    Neither the stock G3 calendar nor Tasks app sync with google?

    Calendar entries must have a specific date/time, plus you can also receive reminders. Taks list is more of your "to do" list without specific date or time.

    Thank you. Wish it was integrated into the calendar, but until then this will do.

    Neither the stock G3 calendar nor Tasks app sync with google?

    I use google calendar and its tasks feature, however the tasks do not show up in the stock calendar (only events do), and the stock tasks app which is supposed to sync with google calendar tasks, doesn't. Instead, the onIy option is to sync with Microsoft Exchange. I tried some third party apps...
