I went from ATT to TMobile. No problem with ATT app for voicemail but I didn't disable it when went to TM. So when I powered up in the morning, it would tell me that voicemail was not available on this phone. An ATT rep disabled and then all calls went to TM's Visual VM app which I didn't...

Thanks for that reply, Kelly. Yes, the coverage is the problem for son's employees including himself. A lot of them live in the "country" as they like to call it. That's not really true but it is pretty far away from some towers, it seems. They're looking into boosters from TM and I hope it...

Kelly, that might be a solution except that son's company isn't particularly happy with the new TM service. So...I could do as you suggested and find myself right back on the reverse highway. :) Right now, the silly stuff has ebbed and I'm hoping I'll just skate along from now on. And I'm...

Ok, had to go to TMobile for help. Store employee eliminated some settings, changed others, said I'm good to go. Then went to ATT to see if I could get WIFI calling. Not yet, but probably soon, they said for the Samsung phones. BUT....coincidentally, my phone started an OTA. Now all...

Interesting on the OTA updates. I'll just pop on over to Best Buy occasionally to see what they can do. I have the original ATT sim card in my billfold but guess I can't just switch the TM and it whenever I want. There's always something. :( So far, the transition is okay. Went through the...

I'm on employer's plan and he's switching to T-Mobile. Tomorrow, my phone will be unlocked and the T-Mobile sim card inserted. I've never done any of this and what can I expect? ATT has a lot of bloatware on my Note 5. What happens to that and anyone know if T-Mobile loads it up with the...

Is this the place to ask this? :) I speak to my phone a lot, but have encountered an annoyance. I hit the Google Mic, say "Add a calendar event." She asks back "what date". I say Friday the 19th. She says, "what time". I say "6 p.m." She says "what's its name." I say "family dinner" she...

Not a biggie, but annoying. Don't know whether it was MM or just an ATT update, but my chosen default ringtone was axed. And I can't find it again on Zedge. How does stuff like that happen? Of course, if you've used any Google product for very long, you know to just throw up your hands...

I winced, did the update without preamble, and I haven't found any issues at all. Very grateful for that as I don't want to re-up my brain for a reset. Also noted that a two-finger pulldown from the top gives you the whole list of shortcuts while a one-finger gives just the top row. Isn't...

Interesting. Mine gets powered off every night simply because I don't need it until morning. I don't think there are any consequences from this, right? I guess the mother in me says turn it off. Except I don't power my computers off, just put to sleep. Hmmmm.....

Umm...I think I have this. I can indeed tap on the word but then it gets fiddly if I want to move it right. What I was looking for needs you to hit on a strange-looking little ten-square symbol on the "first" page that gives you a lot of other stuff on the "second" page. I'd rather have the...

I've tried them all and am currently back on Swype. I'm not finding a way to move the cursor. Am I missing something as it seems at one time there was that capability. Thanx! MM

I have a Galaxy S 10.5 and use it quite a lot. It's more comfortable to use it to read the newspapers when print copies haven't dropped yet. Also like it for long periods of Kindle reading. It lives in my kitchen unless Kindling. Also have two other true Kindles which I don't use. :(

I had no idea you could press the comma key to bring up a gear on the Google Keyboard. Never have seen anything referencing that anywhere. Great to have a forum like this from which to learn such tricks. :) But I still can't downsize the keyboard. :p

I'm flipping through all the keyboards I've downloaded, and keep revisiting them every few months. I currently have Google Keyboard, Swype + Dragon, Samsung, TouchPal, Swiftkey, and SlideIt. Anyone use Google Keyboard because I can't find Settings anywhere. Maybe there aren't any?? It's a...
