    Google no longer unlocks my phone

    Thank you B. D. No luck. I had tried that previously before the reset, and now after the reset. After a complete re-set and no app installs or restoration of app data I still can't set the timer. I still have a voice of myself 'saved' somewhere according to Google assistant.

    Google no longer unlocks my phone

    Any updates to this news? There is tons of information on the internet but it seems very inconsistent and nothing has worked to solve this issue, and, all the other buggy issues. Can't set a timer - when asked it says timer set 'now' but it doesn't set the timer. Setting up voice unlock - I...

    Gear S2 to get Android Wear

    Any truth to this? A rep at Walmart told me the Samsung rep said the S2 is getting Android Wear mid March. Such a shame the lack of apps available for the Samsung watches.

    Smartwatch in the snow/rain - screen goes buggy - is this true of all smart watches?

    Thanks.... I found a couple LG G watches locally (the square ones). Are the Zenwatches noticeably better in any area? From what I could tell the biggest difference is WIFI, which the G watch does not have.

    Smartwatch in the snow/rain - screen goes buggy - is this true of all smart watches?

    Thanks for your input. It helps. I see it most when working in light rain (I won't work in heavy rain) or when snowboarding. It's especially bad when wearing a hard shell type rain coat IE Columbia Sportswear, Arctyrex, etc... The hard material rubs the droplets on the watch face and acts as a...

    Smartwatch in the snow/rain - screen goes buggy - is this true of all smart watches?

    I have a Gear 2, and when I work outside and it's sprinkling, or I take it up snowboarding and the snow on my sleeve leaves a bit of water on the screen it seems that anything that rubs the watch face acts like a finger. I come off the mountain with a different watch face, my music...

    GS6 case recommendation

    Can anyone recommend an active case that also has room to carry some credit/business cards. I figure if I'm going bulky, I may as well get rid of the wallet. I wouldn't mind a belt clip either. I've had a nice slim body glove on until yesterday when I dropped the phone from waist level on a...

    Mdnsd killing battery?

    Re: Mdnsd killing battery Beat me to it.... I found the same suggestion over on another forum. Deleted Firefox and will see what happens. I never used it as it's absolute crap for rendering web pages in a legible mobile format when compared to Chrome. I really miss the old Android browser for...

    Mdnsd killing battery?

    Re: Mdnsd killing battery I just had this pop up on my screen, but my battery has been absolute crap lately. I don't recall ever having the free flight app installed and it certainly isn't installed now. I also use the package disabler pro app and can't find anything related to Mdnsd to disable.

    Who switched from iPhone to Samsung Galaxy S6/S6 Edge

    Does anyone know of any navigation apps that will put up banner notifications when outside of the navigation app, as Google maps does on IOS? I find it baffling how Google's own OS does not support this feature in Google's own navigation software. The maps app can support banners, because it...

    S Voice just starts recording

    I just recorded, and as a result had text show up on my screen, a sensitive conversation. My voice command was on, but it was the stock setting of 'HI GEAR'. There's no way I said Hi Gear to wake the thing up. Maybe it thought I did? I don't know. Anyways..... how can I disable this auto on...
