It means your phone is set to "no interruptions" mode, which means it won't make any sounds, not even an alarm. To change this, press the up or down volume button and then tap "All". For more detailed settings go into Settings > Sound & notification > Interruptions. (this stuff is all new...

I took this photo from a boat which probably is why the buildings look wavy. But considering that it was in broad daylight with relatively calm water, I'm kind of surprised that the shutter stayed open long enough to distort the photo. Anyone have any other explanation for why this might happen...

As my SMS app, I'm currently using Hangouts. Before that, my favorites were Chomp and Textra (both from the same developer I think). Hello SMS is also nice because it's got a clean nice look. The main reason I liked Chomp/Textra is because they had an option to show new messages in a popup...

Sorry, I haven't experienced either of these problems; I have the same phone, 3 weeks now, and it's been behaving perfectly since I got it. I suggest you do a factory data reset and then if the problems continue, swap for a new phone.

The turbo is my 4th or 5th smartphone. Before the turbo I had an S5, and a Note 2 before that. So I'm pretty used to smartphone cameras and their quirks! But the turbo does have a tendency to "lie" more than my other phones about when the picture is taken; it often seems to wait to actually...

Thanks for the tip - but I like how it works now and wouldn't want to turn it off.

I don't see any way to do this in settings. Your best bet would be to try a different dialer app - there are dozens in the Play Store.

Anybody want this case? I have one, it doesn't fit my ballistic nylon turbo. If you want it let me know and I'll give you my email so you can send me $5 on PayPal and I'll send it out via USPS...

That looks exactly like the VSTN case I got from Amazon, which didn't fit my ballistic nylon turbo (and which they've since updated the product listing to say that).

I was having a different problem - out of the blue "Google Search has stopped" errors several times a day. I force stopped it in settings and then did a clear data (it takes a few seconds for clear data to be selectable after force stop), that fixed it.

Just a note - it doesn't always help. :-[

Although mostly I like the camera, I'm still unhappy with the shutter lag. I keep HDR turned off and try to remember to not move the phone for a second after I think it's already taken a shot, but even so I will end up with a photo like this one pretty frequently (I had it centered and in focus...

All I can add is that the screen always wakes up (just to show time and notifications) when I take it out of my pocket, or when I get close to the phone - and I haven't had any pocket dialing or seen the screen already on when I take it out, plus the battery is lasting nearly as long as...

I saw this tip in another thread - if the camera is laggy, make sure HDR is turned off, because it can slow down the camera. I'm not sure if it's a perfect solution, but it can't hurt.

I had an S5 before my turbo and the turbo is much better. 80% of that is the much bigger battery (lasts a day and a half, vs half a day), 10% is nearly pure Android (instead of f'd up Touchwiz), 10% is the intelligent little features that really work like twist for camera and wave to see...
