    Android Central - Back To School Q&A

    Hey Alberto! Totally get the desire to equip your kids with tools to stay extra safe while also avoiding accidental dials. In my opinion, there's really only one option out there right now for young ones that actually encourages them to use it and gives you the peace of mind you're looking for...

    Bluetooth keeps forgetting it is on

    Screenshot of the madness in action. The Bluetooth toggle is in the ON position, but not lit blue. If I tap More Settings and go to Bluetooth, the connection will usually re-establish itself. If I don't do anything, the watch will remain disconnected.

    Bluetooth keeps forgetting it is on

    Pixel is on normal build. I do connect my phone to my Vive occasionally, but it's not connected right now. My car has a Bluetooth dongle in it, but I hadn't connected it because something on NPR had caught my attention. I assume Google is reasonably competent at matching BT versions. I am...

    Bluetooth keeps forgetting it is on

    Every time I leave my house, this happens. I get in the car, drive down the street, and notice my LG Watch Style is no longer connected to my phone. When I look at my quick settings, Bluetooth is greyed out as though it is off. Tapping the icon does nothing, and when I go to the actual...

    Where is my free VR?

    I've seen a significant influx of people getting theirs this week. So it's possible the initial hiccup is over? Still, being treated like that isn't great.

    Reverse POV w S7 Edge

    Which video apps are you using? I know most of the videos I've found in the Gear VR apps start you off where the creator wanted you to be looking, but not all of them. Sometimes the starting point is undefined in the app, and to the best of my knowledge there's no setting for that since it's set...

    Creepy, Scary, Fun all at the same time..

    There are absolutely elemets of the overall experience that are surreal, but in a fantastic sort of way. Now, the horror games? Nope nope nope. They can all go away.

    Com.facebook.katana help

    If they're running processes, it means the apps are there somewhere. They might be System apps, which can't be uninstalled but should be something you can disable. Do you see a disable option when you select either of those apps in your application settings?

    Samsung Gear 360

    I'm a little concerned about the durability here. If this camera isn't at least as waterproof as the Galaxy S7 I think it's a mistake.
