    How to stop anti-5G conspiracy theorists

    The city council in my town appears to be dead set against this "killer" technology. Of course this is a city that once passed, and still has on the books, a local ordinance that says: No person shall produce, test, maintain, or store within the city a nuclear weapon, component of a nuclear...

    how do i enable my bluetooth its disabled and i don't know why

    Hi. I suddenly have this issue. My phone is getting old but BT has worked flawlessly until now. I know it worked in October as I used it to connect up several electrical outlets to turn lights on and off while we left on vacation. I haven't used BT for anything since then (it was a looooooong...

    Boosting your charge no longer appears after Nougat update

    Droid Turbo 2 When I charged my phone - even when placing it on the Tylt wireless charger - I used to get an animation of a rocket ship blasting off and a notice saying "Boosting your power" (or something of that sort). Anymore I just get a message that says "charging slowly". I did try...

    No voice directions unless I disable Bluetooth

    Droid Turbo 2 When I ask for driving directions I don't get any voice prompts for turns etc. unless I first turn off Bluetooth. I "think" this may have started with the Nougat update but I'm not sure. Any idea if there's a way to fix this or what may be the cause?

    My phone won't take videos

    I found it last night. I had Phone Silencer installed. Press the volume key to turn the volume all the way down and it asks how long you want the volume muted. Very handy. Did a Force Stop and the video worked fine. Deleted the app. I never would have guessed that was the problem but the video...

    My phone won't take videos

    My Turbo 2 won't take video either. I cleared the cache partition but that didn't help. I booted into Safe Mode and was able to take a video so I'm thinking some app is interfering with taking video but for the life of me I can't figure out which app is the culprit. I've gone into my apps and...

    6.0 Marshmallow: How's your battery life after the update?

    I haven't noticed a problem with the battery - until today. All of a sudden battery life has gone into the toilet. Like others here I'm seeing a large hit from WiFi and Bluetooth. It's weird that I haven't noticed it before today. I don't know what's changed (other than the MM update of course)...

    6.0 Marshmallow: Internal memory storage does not show up when connected to laptop via USB?

    I gave in and did a full format on my card. It took forever as it's a large capacity card but I decided to do a full format rather than a quick format. I formatted the card exFAT. When it finally finished I stuck it back in the phone and it works just like it did before Marshmallow. I copied the...

    Wireless Charging Question

    Do you have a case on your Turbo 2? I have the case off of mine for some stuff I'm doing and I just set it on the Tylt charger. It works great with no fiddling required at all and in all placements, topside down, rightside up, landscape. All immediately start charging. I only put a case on the...

    6.0 Marshmallow: Internal memory storage does not show up when connected to laptop via USB?

    I took the card out of the phone and stuck it into a card reader on my computer. The contents show up just fine that way. I copied the entire contents to a folder on the computer. I will try putting the card back into the phone and see if I'm offered a choice of usage. If I am offered a choice I...

    Wireless Charging Question

    Nope. Worked fine before the case but now only works upside down. The Tylt charger works on other phones (and this one as well without this case) just fine. It works on my son's Galaxy with an Otter Box case in either portrait or landscape mode. I worked that way on my MAXX and also on my Turbo2...

    6.0 Marshmallow: Internal memory storage does not show up when connected to laptop via USB?

    No luck. The computer shows me two folders: Internal Storage and SanDisk SD Card. Internal Storage shows: 9.23 GB free of 24.0 GB SanDisk SD card shows: 128 GB free of 183 GB When I open the SanDisk SD card there is absolutely nothing showing there. I copied an image to the folder and now that...

    6.0 Marshmallow: Internal memory storage does not show up when connected to laptop via USB?

    I did the OTA to Marshmallow. I was NOT offered any options regarding my 200GB microSD card. I noticed today that, when I connect the phone to the computer I can "see" both the internal and external storage but the external storage says it's empty. Like I said above, I never got any kind of...

    Wireless Charging Question

    I use the Tylt charger. It worked perfectly with my Turbo 2 until I put a bulky case on it then it wouldn't connect. I fixed it by putting the phone on the carger upside down (top of the phone sitting on the bottom of the charger). I guess it connects that way because the opening for the camera...

    6.0 Marshmallow for the DROID TURBO 2

    As I posted previously, I had issues with this OS update. I have read the replies here and it seems quite possible I can get the update by simply following the posted instructions of others. I'm a bit boggled by those who are unhappy about not getting the update but who also don't follow the...
