For starters, I broke the flip phone in half out of frustration :). And a no name phone OS offers zero control for me. Also, the ability to text him sometimes actually helps. I haven't enabled any Samsung tools YET. Just using Family Link from Google and it is pretty solid. Going to check...

Thank you! As I walked through setting it up, it turned out to be pretty simple to add all these controls. I think I need to lock down the Samsung portion a bit more this week as I neglected to set up a Samsung account. Seems like I need to setup a dummy account for his phone. Google's...

Hello folks. Looking for some semi-urgent help here. My elderly father is prone to being scammed w/ the whole gift card thing. It's really sad at this point. He had an iPhone that I confiscated that was riddled with crap and the scammers had literally locked him out of his apple account...

Here's an update. The alarm came back. I couldn't pinpoint it to an exact time or app, so I took this as an opportunity to do my first factory reset since getting the phone last December. No instances of hidden alarms since.

I installed the latest update after posting and it is seemingly gone.

It actually has not happened in the last two days (since I installed the latest update.)

For the last few days, I get a random musical tone alarm sounding once a day (that I've noticed) and not at the same time. Anyone else finding this? I have swiped all apps upp during the alarm so there is seemingly nothing running. Also, nothing in my calendar at those times.

And... I found it. Kind of upset because I was drooling over a v20 just now. Thanks for the input guys.

Thanks in advance for any guidance. I have been using my original Moto X as a media player for vacations and the gym w/o a SIM for quite a while. Now, I seem to have misplaced it, so I am in the fun position of turning one man's trash into treasure by buying an older used phone. If you...

When I first saw the Yoga Book, I was drawn to it. Not so much for the keyboard, but for the note taking. I hadn't much thought about it since, but checked EBay yesterday and resale prices seemed really low. Is this a case of people just not "getting it", or is there some major flaw that...

Exactly what I wanted to hear. I will now rathole myself into a customization trance for a while.

I have refrained from adding a launcher to my Pixel XL for five months now. In the past, there was always something missing with stock launchers, so Nova or Action Launcher were necessities. I haven't "missed" any functionality with using Pixel Launcher sp far, but I am starting to get the...

Re: Overnight Battery Drain? (possible solution) UPDATE: Fully charged 16 hours ago Sitting at 72% and my phone did a full restart to install the Nougat Beta after I unplugged it.
