hey the same thing happened to me, and I figured it out. I had disabled the weather apps that came with the phone. When I re-enabled, the clock started working again

So it used to be that when I did that "rub the edge" gesture to bring up the information/notification edge stream, the time would come up first, then I had to scroll to see the stream. The time is gone now, it just goes straight to stream. I liked being able to check the time without lighting...

Interesting. As a matter of fact, I do have it set NOT to auto-update. Sometimes updates ruin apps (take away feature, add ads, etc) and I prefer to pick and choose. Very interesting...

This. When I first got my phone, I downloaded the update that came with the phone. I had to factory reset to fix stuff that didn't work, which it did. Huge pain, but it worked

Re: Why can't I see spotify controls in lock screen I'm not sure about spotify, but for Rhapsody I figured out that I have to have notifications turned on under Settings: Application Manager: Downloaded: Rhapsody. Then in the Rhapsody app, I go to settings and there's an option to turn...

Me too. Why can't we have any fun colors in the US?

No I didn't at all get irritated after a month, quite the opposite. Anything that I found distracting or annoying two months ago, I got used to very quickly. You should definitely get the edge imo, because you state the one good reason to get it: you love the unique design as an aesthetic...

Hi guys, I've done all the tips and tricks to optimize battery life and was experiencing great battery life until a few days ago. Now it's draining pretty bad and the stock battery monitor shows "google play services" as the culprit. I have GSAM, but it's not showing the problem, other than...

no, there's not

Hmm...Is this your first AMOLED phone? What you are describing sounds normal except the "change the angle just slightly" part. Slightly? I have to angle mine quite a bit before the color shifts. One suggestion is to go to your local best buy or carrier retailer and look at the ones they have...

And re-install? Really? Because I just uninstalled all the google updates (from application manager) and now it's back. I'm thinking I'll just leave it. You re-installed the update, and it still works?

Original poster here. I ended up with the RAVPOWER one, and I'm very very happy with it. It's not too slippery and it's not too choosy about position, it just works every time. It's perfect. I have two, and I'm thinking about getting more. I'm really loving the wireless charging more than I...

Mine does this but so did my S5 so I thought it was just a thing

Ah Techno-guy, I remember discussing this with you weeks ago, when I had my original phone that overheated, but didn't have this awful scrolling lag. I went through three other replacement phones before I stuck with this one, that I bought from the local t mobile store. I swear, it seems like...

OK Clearing the cache on those apps, and closing a bunch of open browser windows seemed to help. But it's still not like buttah, like it should be...
