Have they announced how they will shut down Google Play Music? I mean, obviously, the song storage servers will go away, but will they attempt to delete the installed app from your phone, or can you still use it in a limited fashion to play songs from your own local library on say an SD card?

Note, that a battery is not just a battery anymore. There are lithim charging IC's present as part of the assembly. I would recommend not using that 2000mah battery and instead getting: OEM NEW LG BL-T32 Internal Battery for LG G6 3300mAh (These can be found $10 or so on ebay) I bought...

I could not find many posts of people doing this DIY, and went blind faith from that video. I can understand reluctance, I was reluctant myself. If you have taken apart a phone before and changed the supposed non-replaceable battery, I would just say, don't let the glue stop you. Once open...

All, I discovered something related to this when changing my screen and battery last night. There is a 9 or 10 pin contact on the reverse side of the back glass panel that MUST connect with the circuit board for fingerprints to work. If someone has changed your battery or screen, ask if...

I finally cracked my G6 screen after dropping the phone many times over 18 months of use. My battery was also not what it used to be... The life barely lasted a day when I used to get almost 2 days when new. I bought a new battery for around 12 bucks, and a new screen assembly for 60...

My wife's g6 seems to go through bouts of "moisture in usb port" every other month or so. We use a QI charger to charge it up when it happens. The problem usually goes away for a long time (months) and then comes back for a day or 2 at a time. bizarre.

FWIW- I stopped using screen protectors years ago-- gorilla glass is more resilient than you think to scratches... My last 3 phones have not had protection and have never gotten a scratch. That said, I have dropped my g6 many times and finally the screen finally did break, but I don't...

I too have Android Auto, and I know the reason why as mine has done that too... change the cable. That has happened to me with several cheap cables. I found found that Anker aftermarket USB 3.0 cables seem to work pretty good, but YMMV. USBC cables are very picky and sensitive... and...

FYI They weren't left alone. We were all in the living room/ kitchen area together. I have 2 little ones and they have lots of toys. They go in the corner of the room and start playing with dolls, toy kitchen, etc... I guarantee most parents have caught their kids grabbing something they...

Some data was lost (since the last backup). But I honestly don't think it even takes an hour for this to occur. I believe that time is exactly 5 times 30 seconds. So basically, if you go to the bathroom, don't forget to take your phone with you or hide it. Obviously I'm not going to test...

>I don't know at what point it wipes your phone but it would take a decent time investment to reach that point. Agree that after X attempts it waits 30 seconds in between, but I can tell you that it can be done in less than an hour by a 2 year old. I no longer recommend using a screen lock...

Last night, in the time it took my wife to cook dinner, our 2 year old grabbed her phone, entered the screen lock password 10 times. As a consequence it erased all data from the internal memory, and then did us the additional favor of not only erasing the SD card but writing ZEROES so that...

I still use my pebble time steel as well. I love the standard bands... I interchange the watch bands during football season. The vibration feature started to get really loud for some reason. I changed the mode to "jackhammer" and its not annoying anymore. I wish there was continued...

I was at a water park pool last weekend and wanted to take pics of the kids, so I braved up and did it. With the G6 in pocket, I went for a swim and took some pics. It survived, and I got some good shots. It made me a little nervous afterwards as the sound coming through its speaker was...

If you can get a good deal, I'd go for it. I came from an older Galaxy s4, and all I can say is this thing is quite a bit faster and the dual lense camera alone has made it worth it for me. The only drawback for me has been the google assistant autostarts on bluetooth long press now. And it...
