Weniki7 The biggest aesthetic issue I found with Lollipop is the damn 'material design'. I hate the black on white menus, and the inability to have a 'dark theme'. Even with the new Marshmallow they've refused to include a dark theme to at least give users an option. It's like the old days of...

Thanks. I posted on a Moto X forum; I think it was that one but I never saw that thread. UPDATE: I rebooted a third time and it did NOT repeat the optimization routine. I think I might know what the problem was. The first time I rebooted it didn't show an app installed (there was a green...

No. And it was fully charged (the second time). I figured the first time it happened it was because the update was simply completing itself. The second time it happened I figured it was a problem with the update.

Brilliant. The internet is really enhanced by posters like you.

Thank you thank you thank you!!! This was driving me CRAZY! I have two identical AT&T Samsung Exhilarate phones. One I got from Consumer Cellular, one I got from Amazon. They both have ICS 4.0.4 but the one I got from C.C. sets the tone properly from the main menu/settings. The one I got from...

Thank you SO MUCH. It was driving me crazy. I kept going to the phone's brightness setting, and the power saving setting, and nothing helped. Going to the BROWSER'S settings did the trick. (I joined this forum just to say Thanks!!!)
