    Music App for Droid Turbo 2

    I use J.River Media Center on the PC, it's paid software and worth every penny if you are serious about music, and Google Music. J.River will handle your ripping, tagging and handle your music collection. Google Music will allow you to upload up to 20,000 tracks for free. Google Music Android...

    Dell Venue 10 7040

    Just got one yesterday with keyboard $300.00 Presidents Day deal from Dell . Awesome device. I've wanted a 10 inch for comic and magazine. Holding it vertically for reading with that handle is really nice, and that screen, indescribable. Still setting everything up but so far it's all I ever...

    Mostly unsatisfied with DT2 :( (coming from great Droid Maxx experience)

    Not normal at all. Looks like a factory reset is in order. All the other suggestions In the thread should be done too. Posted via the Android Central App

    just got the turbo 2

    Nova Launcher has been my default launcher for years. I don't even play with others any more. I don't know what kind of negative things you have read about the T2 but I absolutely adore mine. I don't have 5 different phones side by side to compare it to. Big beautiful screen, battery lasts all...

    DROID Turbo 2 Battery life

    How much are you on LTE, and how strong is the signal where you are? Weak data signal equals big battery drain. Posted via the Android Central App

    Two questions on the droid turbo II/Force

    I have noticed with the camera inside the camera tries to take non flash shots with a pretty slow shutter speed,. So while the picture will be well lit it will, have some blur. Using the flash will allow a much faster shutter speed and freeze the action. It would be nice if you got a slow...

    Thinking of moving from Note 4 to this...

    I upgraded from the Note 2. I had long quit using any of the Samsung special features and wanted a closer to stock Android UI. I've always been a removable battery guy but with my current lifestyle I never need the extra battery so I am living without that feature with no problems. The...

    The encryption doesn't appear to have any negative effects on performance. If anything the tablet is faster and smoother. Looks like the best just got better. Posted via the Android Central App

    Just snagged the Dell Venue 8 7840...wow

    It appears the wifi radio is right under the front facing camera. Move your hand up about 2 inches the full signal comes back. Just curious, what applications do you use it in portrait for? I pretty much never use a tablet that way.

    Just snagged the Dell Venue 8 7840...wow

    What a magnificent device. I upgraded from the original Venue 8, which I love. It looks like Dell learned a lot from where they were when it first came out. It's only been a day but the only issue I have had was trouble getting the SD card slot open. While the original Venue 8 is only a...

    Perplexed: Why did Verizon Choose to carry this phone?

    Do clueless newbies really pay these exorbitant prices for the Verizon bloatware services. For instance, the NFL app. After paying 30 bones a month for 2 GB data would I really pay another 10 bones to use the NFL app and use up all my data on the first Sunday streaming RedZone. You don't have to...

    To finally put an end to the complaints about the 5MP camera

    Just so we are clear. The quality of the picture has nothing whatsoever to do with the megapixel count. If the iphone picture is better or worse it is not because of the megapixel count. Megapixels only dictate the native size of the picture not the quality. Not only are megapixels not...

    LG Revolution after 90 days

    I find it amazing, the wildly differing experience with smart phones not just the Revolution. There is someone with a story that collectively effects every single aspect of the phone. When I read the original post of this thread I said to my self, "this guy has a whole new set of problems I had...
