    How NOT to install 5.0.2 update I somehow downloaded?

    I have a Nexus 4 and a Nexus 5 on AT&T. Both have issues with Chrome lagging and sometimes locking up the phone and requiring reboot--happened with KitKat and Lollipop, but much worse with Lollipop. For me, Dolphin works much better on both phones than Chrome. My old Sprint EVO 4G loads...

    How NOT to install 5.0.2 update I somehow downloaded?

    I've been trying to avoid the Lollipop update(s) on my unrooted 2012 Nexus 7 due to the problems so many others are having with it. Somehow I managed (or Google forced it) to download 5.0.2 today, with the message in system updates that it will install on the next restart. Is there a way I can...

    Lollipop killed stock "email" app!

    Thanks, Crash. That worked fine. :-) When I disabled the stock email app, it also disappeared from the app tray, but is in the Playstore and can be enabled from there. I think I'll see if I can disable the Gmail app also, then go to Blue Mail which I used to use. Its a bit busy, but to me is...

    Lollipop killed stock "email" app!

    I'm missing something simple. Unrooted Nexus 5 on Lollipop. I have the Email app and Gmail app. As far as I remember, they both showed up with Lollipop. I have 3 accounts--1 each Hotmail, Yahoo, and Gmail. All 3 show up in both apps. If I delete an account from one app, it disappears from...

    How to change voicemail prompts from Spanish back to English?

    Got it, courtesy of AIO/Cricket chat support. After PIN, the number press sequence is: 4 then 4 then 5 then 1.

    How to change voicemail prompts from Spanish back to English?

    OK, while driving today I tried to access my voicemail and managed to do something wrong. Now if I call it, all the prompts are in Spanish, and I can't figure out how to get it back to English. My Nexus 5 is stock, non-rooted. I think it tells me to enter my PIN, which I do. Not sure if I...

    Need help inderstanding cell strength/mode indicator

    I looked, but didn't see any posts clearly on point... I'm new to the N5 (on AIO/Cricket) and am trying to figure out some of the basics, along with understanding the difference between LTE, H, etc. At home and with wifi turned on, I usually see 2 bars on the cell strength indicator. There...

    N5 on the New Cricket

    I'm using N5 on AIO/Cricket. It worked great when it was AIO, and the switch to Cricket AT&T has been transparent. The LTE speed is throttled at 8MBs, but that is good enough to stream YouTube and Netflix so far. I consistently get a tad over 8MBs. I have the 2.5GB $50 plan ($45 with...

    Stopped receiving e-mail notifications on stock e-mail app

    Nope, I've made no settings changes for several weeks. The notifications simply stopped arriving a few days ago. Last night though, they started arriving again. I'd previsoulsy uninstalled Lightflow and rebooted a few times, with no change in the lack of notifications. No apparent reason for...

    Stopped receiving e-mail notifications on stock e-mail app

    Totally stock, and not connected to an Exchange server. I thought about uninstalling and re-installing the stock e-mail app, but it looks like it can't be uninstalled (and I don't want to make things worse!).

    Stopped receiving e-mail notifications on stock e-mail app

    Thanks, jj14x. Yep, I checked that. Before deleting Lightflow, it was the only app listed there. Now no apps are listed. I added back in the Gmail app, and it does seem to provide notifications. Still no luck with the stock email app notifications. .

    Any faith left for sprint

    I too finally gave up on Sprint after 11 years of patience on my part. Customer Service was always good, I had a 25% corporate discount, and I had no device issues, but the lack of a decent signal at home or work on 3G then 4G then LTE/Spark finally got to me--Sprint's coverage maps always show...

    Stopped receiving e-mail notifications on stock e-mail app

    I started having this issue yesterday--I have YMail, Hotmail and GMail accounts all in the stock e-mail app on my Nexus 5. I also use Lightflow for LED notifications and have had no problems. I noticed I was no longer receiving the taskbar icon notifications in the upper left for new e-mails...

    AIO Wireless and Moto X

    Hi folks, just found this site so registered to ask a question and continue to be educated! I snagged one of the codes for $150 off the Moto X. I need to place my order with Motorola in a couple of days so am trying to figure out which model to get -- ATT, Sprint, VZ, or T-mobile. Since I...
