I am not sure why this is not being covered in the news, so I am posting it up on here to warn users. Movo Money is an app in Google Play that is basically a prepaid debit card. Thousands of users have suddenly had their accounts frozen (and all the money in it) starting in July with many...

I understand what you are saying. But there are hundreds (if not thousands) of security threats that never make the news, but the phone should still be updated to protect against them by the OEM's. I think this is Googles point. You don't know how serious a security threat is until it is too...

For personal, I prefer Texting when it is just a short solid statement or answer. If it starts to turn into a conversation, I prefer IM because it is quicker. And then if IM conversation turns into a more serious matter or emotional (family members), then I call them. For work, I prefer IM...

Apparently Google has put together a list of OEM Phone Manufacturers that run Android and ranked them as to how well they keep the phones updated with patches and the latest version of OS. Who do you think would be poorly ranked? Motorola, Samsung, LG? I read in some news reports that they had...

That is some good advise and try it out. I work in the battery industry and I couldn't have said it better. Signal strength is big one. Poor signals will kill a battery almost faster than anything. Use Wifi as much as possible. Make sure Google Play doesn't update apps unless you are on Wifi...

Apple sure knows how to fool their customers into buying, insuring, upgrading, or anything really. I got to hand it to them. I have a lot of family members who into Apple products. And by "into" I mean they are not traditional techies, they buy everything Apple and believe they are on the...

It is not Burn In, it is picture retention and all lcd panels including tv's have this. It is not permanent. There is a tool you can run that has a white bar that moves around the screen and lights all the pixels, which removes the retention. Burn In is permanent and something completely different.

I have the some of the same feelings about Samsung, but perhaps not a strongly as you. I disagree, I think their quality is every bit as good if not better then Appple. I think TW is much better now, but I still don't like it. And as far as trust goes, I trust them about as much as any other...

That is true, from everything reported on the 10, it looks to be a good camera. I really like HTC phones, but I haven't owned one since the M7. I always thought that they were over priced in relation to their shortcomings. But since I posted, I have now seen the camera performance and the...

Wait! Seems like all the same kind of posts when the Nexus 5X and the M9 was released. Fact is, it is just too early to tell if they got it right. On paper they did and HTC is pretty good at the metal design and quality of build, so that should be a slam dunk. We just don't know how it is going...

I use Messenger. Clean, simple and for the most part reliable. Only issue has been every once in a while it will not want to send a picture in a text. Other then that I have never missed a text or had one ever not go out. I have tried all the others. Evolve wasn't bad, but it was a hot mess of...

Yep, LG set out to build a module phone and this is the result of it. Unfortunately, it has some build quality concerns and hopefully those can be resolved in production. I applaud LG for going this route, but I think doing it with the G5 may have been a mistake. It is going to take some time...

You missed my point. YOU are one of us. Just as you described yourself, that would be the majority of current LG owners. And half of us could be Samsung or Motorola owners next month. We buy independent of the brand, we buy what we like and what works for us. I said, I would buy a Samsung if it...

I think where this is going as far as LG is concerned is, it is made of metal and covered in a coating. Is a vehicle made of metal and painted not a still a metal car? Bottom Line, it is made of enough metal to be called a metal phone. I think mostly people are feeling like they have been...

Really? Are we going to argue the intention of certain words. I didn't intend to come off as speculative. It is my opinion and I think it is absolute. But by the very nature of it being an opinion makes it speculation. Now you can say that words have no "nature" and we can argue that point. Or...
