    Is a screen protector really necessary?

    I've always used a screen protector, usually a glass one. But since screens have started to have some sort of curve to them I've switched to self healing film. They fit better, are almost invisible, incredibly thin, don't have either that "Halo" look or look like you dropped a piece of plate...

    annoying notification

    I was having the same problem with mine. I got in touch with T-Mobile and they worked a little magic and I haven't had the problem since. They were doing some tower work near me that day, Band 66 appeared shortly after that. It might be worth calling it in.

    Case for G7

    We have a contender. I stumbled onto this one on eBay. It's extremely well built, has a leather insert into a hard rubber almost bumper case in a way that protects the leather from getting corner damage. The sides have nice responsive molded buttons and what looks like a carbon fiber insert on...

    Is it worth to upgrade From G6 to G7

    For me, it has everything I thought the G6 was lacking. And yes, I like the idea of only buying half of a phone.

    Is it worth to upgrade From G6 to G7

    I bit the bullet and traded my G6 for the G7 mainly after I saw the early Audio reviews and I couldn't be happier. I'm not a big camera person but between being about half deaf and loving my music, this thing is astounding. The "Boom box" speaker is the best I've ever heard. My Moto X Pure...

    Case for G7

    I looked real hard at the Gravel and then bought the smooth black. It's a little slippery. Might have to try the gravel. (since I tend to buy 8 or 10 for every phone. Anyway, the hard one to find is the extremely thin TPU... And here it is...

    Notch and all

    I had the same problem. I wanted something a little bigger than my G6 so I bought a cheap S9+ case on eBay to get a feel for it. Just didn't feel right. The G7 got here today and it's great. Even though it specs almost an identical size as the G6 it feels a lot better. A few little things to...

    T-mobile shipped out yet?

    Shipped, Delivered and set up. Note: Use the brown shipping box to test the speaker. Then throw your cheap Bluetooth Speakers away.

    Here is the G7 ThinQ

    It's an interesting phone. The big temptation for me is the audio. One of my biggest disappointment on my G6 is the speaker. But then again it replaced a Moto X Pure Edition with great stereo speakers. I think I'm going to have to visit a store this year to do some side by side comparisons. I...

    Any thoughts on a good/cheap "backup" phone for a Note 8 owner?

    I'm using my old Moto X Pure Edition as a backup, I've considered getting something in the G5 series but.... The PE is still one beast of a phone.

    What's your earliest Android OS?

    I guess I lucked out, my first Android was a Moto X Second Gen. It arrived with Lollipop but upgraded to Marshmallow about five minutes after I booted it up for the first time. But that phone showed me, an avid Windows Phone user, what I was missing, and misinformed about Android. After that a...

    From 5.5"+ screens.to pixel 2.... will I get used to the size drop

    I've gone from a 5.7" Moto X Pure Edition to a 5.7" LG G6 that feels "in hand" like my 5" Lumia 640. Going from the 16:9 format to 18:9 takes some getting used to. With the taller and narrow dimensions the G6 felt top heavy. I couldn't find a comfortable way to hold it for extended use. The...
