Re: Bloatware Questions Wow Crammpa! You really did remove/disable a lot of apps! Thanks for that info. I could never get buy without Chrome though. Actually, we mainly got cell phones for the calendar app so that we can sync or schedules to our phones, tablets, and pc. It's because we...

Bloatware Questions Got such great help on some APN issues, thought I would ask about bloatware, too. I realize that this is more subjective: My G850A phone is sort of weird, at least for me. I thought an unlocked phone was generic, but this phone as all kinds of ATT stuff on it. There's...

Re: Cannot Send Photos attached to Text Messages Thanks so much for your helpful response. Your suggestion was spoton. Most of the settings were as they should be, but a couple were not. Now, I have to change my wife's phone as well which is the same as mine. Here's the url for the info I...

Cannot Send Photos attached to Text Messages Hi, All. We've had our Alfa 850a's so a few days. We bought them new from Amazon unlocked. We were already Tmobile customers with nexus 4's. We got new sim cards and have done everything on line so far. We pretty much like the Alfa's better than...

I've had this problem a couple of times as well as having Malay words in Google search results. A reboot solved the ringing issue for incoming calls, but I don't know why I had the issue. I even installed Lookout even though I'm already running Avast anti-virus and Malwarebytes. No problems...

Good to know. Thanks!

Thanks for your posts. I finally got voice back to my phone. I think the solution was to uninstall an app called Volume Control +. That app worked fine for many months. Maybe the app was updated and the changes caused a conflict with the onboard audio functions? In reading some blog type...

We've had our N4's for 22 months. We are old geezers but recognize the many benefits of smart phones. I'm not a geek, but I'm not computer illiterate either. Things were working great until a few months ago until we could no longer make phone calls. It was not an issue with TMobile either...

Mine downloaded yesterday. It took about 30 minutes to download, install, and update the apps. My Google calendar won't load up this morning. Bummer because our master calandar is sync'd to our pc's and nexus 4's, and N10's. I see the calendar is updated on my pc though. When I try to load...

Hi Jerry. Those pics of a 1 yr old are a must. Not sure that I would want to rely on a phone or even most of the digital cameras to catch those action shots. We've been confronted with that problem with our grand kids soccer games, too. You might want to look around for a new or used digital...

When I first got my N4, the camera worked fine. I think that I had 4.4.2 then. I really haven't used the camera much, but I did notice almost all pics being blurred after the 4.4.4 upgrade was made. I did some searching and found that a different camera app solved the problem for some. I...

Thanks. The video did say that just uninstalling would not fix the problem. I did get it from the Play Store. It was almost 16mb in size. You know how the internet is. You're never 100% sure what to believe. I'm just going to leave it now that I've put Malwarebytes on. I also have Avast...

Re: Flashlight Malware @#$%* I appreciate your response. I did export my contacts to somewhere and they are also part of my gmail. I did download the mobile version of Malwarebytes, but the scan didn't show any malware. Now I'm wondering what I should do next. I did uninstall Flashlight and...

Flashlight Malware @#$%* Today I just saw the Youtube from Bret Baire's show about various flashlight apps malware. I have the Flashlight list and it's on the bad list. It's file size is 19mb. Not totally sure about what I've heard, but it seems that the only way to fix the problem is to do a...

I just got one for my wife. I would have waited if they new ones were coming out in time for Christmas. Waiting is always an issue that we all face. There's waiting for better tech and features, waiting for a price decline, and waiting to avoid obsolescence. Sometimes you may not want to...
