    Why do I have a random, widespread contact joining after Nexus 5 upgrade to Lollipop & factory reset?

    Re: Random, widespread contact joining after Nexus 5 upgrade to Lollipop & factory reset Well, I took the nuclear option to try to correct this issue: Factory reset again and this time choose not to restore from backup. That appears to have worked. Contacts are now correctly merged. My local...

    Why do I have a random, widespread contact joining after Nexus 5 upgrade to Lollipop & factory reset?

    Random, widespread contact joining after Nexus 5 upgrade to Lollipop & factory reset Hello- The Contacts app is joining contacts seeming randomly and on a large scale since updating my Nexus 5 to Lollipop and then later factory resetting it (after disappointment with the performance impact...

    Thanks. That is consistent with what I saw yesterday evening.

    Setting Up Gifted Nexus 5

    It does not come pre-configured. It will ask for a Google account email address and password when first turned on.

    Wireless charging notification tone - Rules?

    Thanks for the replies. At least I know that I'm not going crazy. The battery percentage theory sounds plausible. I'll watch for that. I've just been trying it with a nearly full battery, and it is consistently NOT sounding the tone.

    Wireless charging notification tone - Rules?

    The Nexus 5 is the first phone I've used regularly with wireless charging. I have two different model wireless chargers, one at work and one at home. With both, the notification tone only plays sometimes when the phone is placed on the charger, even though it starts charging successfully and the...

    How to assign "Me" photo shown in Messaging

    I used a Motorola RAZR V3x to set my phone number on the SIM. The option was under Initial Setup. A search online shows that the iPhone also allows you to enter/change the SIM number. Try borrowing someone's? Finally, your cellular network should be able to update your SIM card with the number...

    How to assign "Me" photo shown in Messaging

    OK, I've finally figured out what the problem was: My phone number was not stored on my SIM card. Apparently, the system links the SIM card phone number, a corresponding contact, and the Me icon in Messaging. font1975, your mention of the tappable android icon got me thinking that the issue...

    How to assign "Me" photo shown in Messaging

    Thanks a lot, font1975. I'd actually tried both of these methods with no luck. Your post, though, describes a possibly key difference between what's on your phone and what's on mine. I don't see a gray Android representing me. I instead see a solid, darker gray box. Other people that I don't...

    How to assign "Me" photo shown in Messaging

    Thanks much for the tips, but still no luck after trying that and several variations. Strangely, tapping never gives me the option to add a contact. Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk

    How to assign "Me" photo shown in Messaging

    Thanks, but that doesn't work for me either, oddly. A long press on the Me box does nothing except briefly flash a yellow outline when I list my finger. A long press on the accompanying message pops up message options like forwarding.

    How to assign "Me" photo shown in Messaging

    I guess that I must be missing something obvious here. Apologies if the issue has been covered elsewhere, but I haven't found anything by searching forums or Google. How can I set the photo of "Me" that is shown in the Messaging app on my Nexus S? I don't see a setting on the phone, and it...
