Re: dbrand or slickwrap? Mine is fraying quite badly on the outer side of my Pebble Time - the side with one button. It's the best looking and appears to be excellent quality. The screen protector seems to totally eliminate a noticeable screen scratch. But when it's tearing a little bit more...

You would disable it through the language and input settings. It's easy to disable. Speech Input and then Google Settings. You'll see the OK GOOGLE recognition setting if you want to turn it off. Or retrain it if it stops working, too. It's very handy while traveling. You can do it through OK...

There's no option for that. You just can check for updates. And then it says yes or no. And it did override the WiFi being off. And basically just shut down everything except the update screen, which, in the middle of the night, you could "postpone" for a few hours. It's horrible because...

All of a sudden, AT&T is forcing me to update after 11 PM at night, sometimes at 2 AM, interrupting my sleep applications. And waking me up! It will postpone for a few hours and interrupt again. I want to stop this from happening. PLEASE HELP. I got three hours sleep last night, fighting off...

I might try a new main battery because I plan to carry extras over the summer anyway. If they perform better, I'll know the original is no longer any good. It does charge up fast with the fast charger, but it drops quickly. I also need to wipe the cache partition again because that's a safe way...

I wasn't clear on that. I had only heard of that Yahoo app and "themes." You can replace TouchWiz without root? I don't really mind TouchWiz in terms of usability, looks, etc. I just want it to all work as it should. Others have spoken of disabling apps like Facebook, but I find the app...

Oh! I am not rooted. rjm Sent via my most phabulous phablet, the Galaxy Note 4

How do you back up complicated customizations? The folders, the widgets, the screens . . . I just wish it was more like a PC: you go right to the problem and fix it without troubling anything else. Ah well. It's certainly an option. It would clear up a couple of earlier little things. I...

Yes, could be some newer apps, or more disturbing, old apps that were just optimized to material design for Lolipop! Two of those broke on the first day before they put out quick patches. So, I have to go through them. You know, as for material design: it's nice - but if an app isn't broken...

No. That can't be the only answer to everything, can it? I will clean the cache partition. My phone now has a very complex setup; not a viable option. rjm Sent via my most phabulous phablet, the Galaxy Note 4

I installed the OTA AT&T update in April and was quite pleased that the battery drain issues were minimal and I wasn't having random reboots or WiFi issues. Now, the battery life is a couple hours moderate use, the battery will drop suddenly from 20% to zero and reboot (or just shut down), and...

Thank you. This will help my dad who has hearing problems. He can know how loud a room is and adjust his device accordingly. Thanks again. rjm Sent via my most phabulous phablet, the Galaxy Note 4

I use Gentle Alarm. I made a "Reminder" profile and it will nag you (with TTS!) continuously as long as you like! It even tells me to go to sleep. You can definitely set one-time only alarms. It's awesome for wake-up, with a special algorithm to get you up calmly, IF you choose it...

It keeps looking like I will have to do that. It's just as painful as transferring to a new device. Well, alright. Thanks. rjm Sent via my most phabulous phablet, the Galaxy Note 4

Will it rewrite the code completely enough to overwrite any little glitches that are in my present KitKat? A few weird things got copied over from my Note 2, and I'm hoping the Lollipop upgrade will completely overwrite the code, without having to reset. (I just don't want to do that for...
