    Why does my first generation Nexus 7 run so very slowly?

    removing all widgets and keeping the recent apps cleared seems to have made a difference for me. Might be a bit late for some, but this is what has made my 2012 N7 on 5.1.1 usable again.

    System UI Tuner in Marshmallow?

    Works on my XT1095. Just used it to embed the battery percentage in the battery icon when not charging. Is yours one of the carrier models. Mine is the pure edition.

    Not so fond farewell

    I applaud your positive take on such a tired issue, but if my reply can convince at least one less consumer from purchasing a Samsung product whilst still staying with Android, then mission accomplished. I will never buy another Samsung device (phone, tablet, bluray player) which is reliant on...

    Eligible for an upgrade on 4/1...(AT&T)

    This is just my two-cents, but I think the US carriers (AT&T and Verizon especially) have done such a great job selling consumers on the idea of subsidized phones that everyone feels like it's their birthday when their two-year contract is up and they get to pay a "nominal" fee of $100-200 for a...

    Smart unlock via location not working

    This is what finally worked for me. I had to add the neighboring addresses to the north and south to get mine to work.

    Amazon movie download for car trips?

    It appears that you may be able do this via your desktop with your Note 10.1 connected: http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=201423020 My kids are 5 and 10 and I have been loading videos on our tablets for years now and I completely feel your pain. I have never used...

    Upgrade to Galaxy S6 over a Moto X?

    Re: upgrade to Galaxy s6 I came from an S3 and still have a Note 10.1 (both of which I plan to root when I get the time). I will never buy another device whose software is dependent upon Samsung. They make great hardware but unlike Motorola, the software that they create on top of Android is...

    Moto X on ATT vs Pure Edition

    I should mention that if you are coming from a SIM on an LTE provisioned phone, the network should automatically update the SIM in the new phone without any problems. However given how many problems can occur with APN settings, it is a good idea to make sure the carrier has done it right unless...

    Moto X on ATT vs Pure Edition

    The short answer to that is yes. Your nanoSIM is presumably provisioned for the first gen device which was capable of LTE bands 02, 04, 05, and 17. Even if that was not the issue that you experienced recently, you may run into a coverage downgrade in the future because of it. Other than the...

    Moto X on ATT vs Pure Edition

    When did you get your phone? Initially the XT1095 was only capable of handling LTE bands 02, 04, and 17. Bands 03, 05, and 07 were added in the 5.0 update. Was it even an LTE band or some older 4G, 3G or 2G signal? Other than that are you sure your XT1095 APNs were provisioned properly when...

    Moto X 2014 Cases!

    I agree, it is frustrating. If Cimo or someone else manages to produce a fully clear tpu case customized for the Moto X 2014 with all the proper cutouts, then "Shut up and take my money!" It's worth mentioning that the frost surface is rather slick whereas the clear surface has the usual...

    Anroid 5.0 + 2012 N7 = SUCKS!?

    Mine was initially laggy just after upgrade, but cache wipe and reset fixed that. I don't use FB so that was never on there. What I am frustrated about is video playback. Many of the videos (mp4s, mkvs) that I stream to my N7 from my NAS are now choppy regardless of which app I use to play...

    Anyone used Google Cardboard on the S3?

    Got my I Am Cardboard from Amazon yesterday. Install the Cardboard app from Play Store. First, the magnet set needs to be relocated to the opposite side for this phone. You can also simply flip the Cardboard viewer upside down and insert the phone in the opposite position relative to the...
