That does not help much if you bought unlocked from XYZ. The blog and update page seem to say something like "perhaps" My G6 will be running on legacy PAYG T- Mobile for another month, then Google Fi, so Pie is far away for me, I think. I will never understand the system update being up to...

I may want to get a spare charging cable for my new friend the Moto G6. Totally new to USB Type-C, I seem to have read that there are a (small) number of different types, some performing than others, very vague recollection, may have been in an Apple context? - is this true? - should I just...

I just bought a G6 online. I am not familiar with this phone construction. What should be a decent case for it - not being a road warrior or heavy user, so I do not need armored plate! I read about the back being fragile. Other areas prone to damage, possibly around screen perimeter?

Well the typical phone in the U.S. market has often some quirky variants. what I found (subject to verification): Model number TA-1050 is U.K. issue Is this your model? TA-1045 is U.S./Canada Next job, dig respective radio specs and compare.

I am considering buying the Nokia 6.1 here in the U.S. and have two areas of concern: The main one: Call quality. Is it OK, or better on this model? My hearing is not perfect so i need to pay attention to clarity and volume. Second one is: Enough of LTE overlap for satisfactory LTE operation...

Thanks badcat. i used the Brother plug-in it in the past (Nexus7 days), but I was trying to avoid the long list of permissions it asks for. I guess I will have to use that.

Yes but... I do not want to print to the cloud, just to the printer on my home network, in the next room..!!

Enjoying the new-out-of-the-box Tab S2 T713 I got last week! Printing apps: I have a Brother WiFi printer at home. Brother has a print app, which wants a ton of permissions, not my choice. What generic printing options out there? I am also new to Nougat (in two days ago). I thought there was...

I do not understand the need to alter or remove such a useful feature. (no sign of sig file option on J5 on T- Mobile prepaid) It's pretty basic stuff, here. Grrr..! Is it a carriers' thing, or just due to system software update cycle, where feature may come back?

Re: how to add singature in message in samsung galaxy j5 I actually have the same problem, as I recently set up a friend with a new J5, and was hoping to set a sig. file It would be nice to know. No visible way to do it, as I can see (??). I thought I would replicate what I did on my personal...

Bump to say: I ran into a Samsung rep at BB store today. No Samsung "Minis" in future(?) Only option is S6, which is way more phone that I need... Sad penguin, here.

I like my S3 Mini, just the right balance of features, size, battery life for my fairly low-grade needs. What is the current equivalent, or new, likely successor to the Mini series? Alternate choices? I see the S4 Mini selling here and there (U.S. web sales). Old stock/grey market, or current...

Thanks Ace. I found same on the Wikipedia 3rd Gen. page. Only way I know to by the 1541 in the U.S. is through Amazon, where vendor is supposed to be Motorola.., unless someone else has a better idea?

I need a new phone and would like to find out what is the actual Moto G model that has the 4G bands for western Europe. Note that I want to buy that Moto G in the US, where It will be my primary, low-use plain voice 2G phone, but I do need 4G while traveling in Europe, away from easy wifi, etc.

Still struggling with 5.1, I wonder what I can plan on doing with the still excellent hardware. long-term. I would love to make it a single-purpose supplemental marine GPS, once the brightness versus power consumption issue is solved(?) Your plan?
