Nope. It's because the detector has third party apps that work with it and give it a ton of functionality that is otherwise unavailable. Plus it's way easier to change or check settings in the app versus manually navigating a menu or settings with the exterior buttons. As far as i know, the...

Hi everyone. I'm looking to get some input if it's possible to connect multiple bluetooth devices to a Pixel 5a. I want to be able to connect to both a third party bluetooth audio receiver for my car as well as a possible radar detector that I may be considering buying. Specifically the...

I use it for contacts (after not realizing it was enabled after a couple phone transfers ago), but that's it. Photos and all other visible data when connected to my desktop i just copy to my desktop. Messages and call history i transfer via a specific app, and apps i just check and install...

I'm starting from scratch as far as knowledge of backup solutions for android goes. I've normally just copied the entire phone drive to my desktop when i connect it up. Plus backup text messages and phone calls, note the apps i have installed, take a picture of my home screens, etc. I figured...

Hey all. I've been getting bothered by my Pixel 5a to upgrade to Android 13 for a while now and am getting sick of it. I understand it's for security and bugs, but i know from experience that updates always cause phones to run slower, if not cause more problems with apps or features. I'm...

Hi everyone. So I figured this would inevitably happen, but not this quickly. The headphone jack on my 2020 Moto G Power seems to be wearing out from the use it's gotten. The typical angled 3.5mm audio cable I use to hook up to my cars aux port seems to only work in certain positions over the...

I have not. Will that get rid of the listed APNs? Is there anything important that needs to be saved or noted before doing that?

I have not. I have a feeling it's something going on with the phone, but the next time it happens I'll check with them. It's only something that's been happening for the past couple weeks, and i've had the phone for about a year and a half now. I believe I remember other functions on the phone...

Hi everyone. I have a 2020 Moto G Power that uses the Verizon LTE network but is unlocked and on a Straight Talk plan. I bought it used and it has Android 11 on it. Build number is RPMS31.Q1-54-13-6 and is all stock, but it just had a security update overnight, so not the same that i've been...

It appears it changes the build number. It mentions Android security patches and shows the new version number, usually in the format "QPMSXX.XX-XX-X-X-X" It comes from the "Motorola Software Update" app, and the notification just says "Your system installation is almost complete. Restart your...

It's Unlocked.

Hi All. Something that i've noticed with the Moto G Power (2020) is that it likes updating itself whenever the latest one comes out Every time, it does it automatically and doesn't even let you choose not too. This worries me, as i'd like to 1) Not be bothered by so many notifications or...
