    [Closed] CONTEST: Win a rad box of Android Central goodies!

    Would love to win some AC swag! BTW, I may have "entered" by pressing the heart in the app, so I'm not trying to make 2 entries. It's just that there wasn't any way to actually post from the app.

    "Screen overlay detected," app permissions, and Twilight

    The problem may be any type of "Security App". In my case, it was TrustGo Antivirus & Mobile Security. As soon as I uninstalled it, everything worked as it is supposed to. Unfortunately, re-installing the app caused the problem to come back, so I had to remove it again.

    Unlock code is required after a restart, rather than just a fingerprint!

    re: Thanks! That seems reasonable, but I find it odd that they can figure out a way to access the encrypted password to unlock the device, but not the encrypted fingerprint. I think someone who develops these items should be able to come up with a creative solution for the 6.0.2 update!

    Unlock code is required after a restart, rather than just a fingerprint!

    The fingerprint sensor is fast and very sensitive. It works great, until the device is restarted. Then, instead of being able to unlock with a fingerprint, it says "Swipe screen to unlock". After swiping, this pops up: "Enter password instead of using fingerprint recognition after restarting...

    Contacts annoyance

    Try linking the contacts. When viewing a contact, click "More" on the top right of the screen. Then click "Link contacts". Check all the contacts you want to link together. Done! If you're not happy with the results, you can always unlink them. Go to More, the click "Manage linked contacts" and...

    How can I stop incessant notifications in Google Keep?

    Re: Incessant Notifications in Google Keep! Thanks, but I want to receive the first notification, just not all the other ones after it. I want Google to fix it! I was wondering if a lot of other people have experienced this problem, as it would put a more pressure on Google.

    How can I stop incessant notifications in Google Keep?

    Incessant Notifications in Google Keep! Since the most recent upgrade of Google Keep to version 3.1.204.00, I have note notifications popping up repeatedly and incessantly. I try to dismiss them, ignore them, edit the notes, but to no avail. I just have to wait till Keep gets tired of notifying...

    How can I enable screen looping?

    Wait for enough people to complain until they push out an update. And once we're complaining, how about sorting the app drawer alphabetically? Posted via the Android Central App

    Does a case make it more difficult to swipe on the curved edge?

    I got it too. Very light and great access to the sides and edges. The only problem is that it is very tight where the lips come over the corners. This interfere a bit with the screen protector I put on (Spigen), which is fairly thin, but pushed in and bubbled a bit in the corner - not enough to...
