    Metal plate for car and wireless charging

    I have a magnetic mount in my car. I want to transfer the metal sticker plate from my old phone case to my Pixel 3 XL case. Do I need to worry about it interfering with wireless charging? Does anyone know specifically where the wireless charging "sensors" are on the 3 xl?

    How service credit works

    I need a new phone and am going on a 3 week trip to Europe. I was thinking of getting a Moto G6 from Fi, activating it for a month and then pausing (or cancelling it). My question is will the $75 credit be applied to my account if I only use one month of service? I already paid for a year on...

    Lack of NFC - deal breaker

    In looking at phones for myself and for friends that ask for help, I've avoided phones that otherwise looked great but didn't have NFC (and there have been several). I am wondering what keeps companies from including this as I would imagine it is a very inexpensive chip (mostly looking at...

    Confused over wifi/bluetooth usage

    I've got a Zenwatch 2. Everything seems to work fine when at home on wifi. Yesterday when I was out of the house and not on wifi, I was able to get texts and respond with the watch, but when I tried to use the play store or Google assistant it said it couldn't. I don't remember the exact...

    Getting the "menu" button in Nougat

    I used to be able to long hold the app switching button to access settings in some apps. After upgrading to Nougat, that starts split screen. Is there another way to activate the "menu"? I think the app is probably designed wrong and should have the 3 dots to access the menu, but it...

    New phone - headphone icon always in status bar and no sound

    I did a factory reset and it still thinks the headphones are plugged in. Guess I have to send it back. Not sure if I want to stick with same phone or not.

    New phone - headphone icon always in status bar and no sound

    I just got a new Axon 7. I updated the system to the latest version (didn't work before update either). The headphone icon is always in the status bar and no sounds comes from the phone. I plugged headphones in and I could hear music. As I rotated the plug though, I would lose sound in one...

    How come so few detachable convertible Chromebooks?

    I have a Samsung 12.2 Pro Android tablet. I really like it, but I think it is dying. I decided it makes sense to get a Chromebook that can run Android apps. I really want one with a detachable keyboard so that when using it like a tablet, it isn't big and heavy (I want 12-13 in screen). I can...

    Tablet overheating but doesn't even feel warm

    I have a Samsung Galaxy 12.2 Pro and for a couple of months, I have been getting a notification that my tablet is overheating. It changes the wallpaper to the default (not sure how that helps), closes apps and sometimes prevents me from opening new ones. The tablet doesn't even feel warm when...

    OPO got update today and reset my whole phone

    Okay. I rebooted and my phone is back to normal. I have no clue what happened. Could it have logged into another account (like guest)? I took the phone out of my pocket a few times and the screen was on. It was bizarre as I had only the basic apps before and had to add my google account, etc.

    OPO got update today and reset my whole phone

    I received a notification that there was a system update. I said to install it. It didn't seem to do anything (this was when I plugged it in to charge). Later, while I was out, it installed, reset and my phone is missing all my data, apps, etc. The version is Android 6.0.1 and Cyanogen OS...

    App for finer control of volume via notification bar

    I use my phone/tablet with powered speakers/Google Chrome Audio. The issue is there are 15 volume steps in Android (at least mine) and the speakers are very powerful and I cannot set it to an acceptable level. I have tried around 10 apps for volume control. Most use only those 15 volume...

    Send MMS with Google Voice- Hangouts?

    Send MMS with Google Voice- Hangouts I have had GV for years. I've worked around not being able to send MMS using my GV number. It has become a nuisance now (people getting confused getting things from a number they don't know). I know you can use Hangouts to send/receive MMS. I like using...
