The only time it happens to my Pixel 8 Pro on a Ford Sync platform is when I get an incoming text message. The podcast I am listening to gets garbled for a second. I don't know if it a sound mixing issue or cpu doesn't have time to process the bluetooth while handling the sms processes. This...

I used PocketCast for years but the latest update ruined my ability to set up a custom playlist. I have since switched to DoggCatcher and am enjoying the autodownload feature. I can create a custom playlist from the downloaded content.

A case with a bump over the screen protects the phone from picking up scratches when laid face down on the desk but it won't stop a pebble when the phone is dropped on the ground. I prefer the glass screen protectors over the film type, they give a better feel and finger resistance when sliding...

The colors and deep blacks of my Galaxy S7 is nice. The variable screen brightness is nice too, especially when it is sitting on the dash of my car. The problem is burn in. There are certain elements from the map software that are ghosted on every display on the phone now. I'm seriously...

Can I help build up gyms I'm not a member of? I mean do I have to have a Pokémon on the gym roster to fight my own team color? Opposing gyms, do I lose anything other than a few revive potions and HP spray to fight them? Do I get stronger Pokémon even if I lose? I mean is there any serious...

Not $35, $5-10 maybe. Problem is that the game probably needs to be running in your pocket. Not going to work with my phone. Probably won't work with my Pebble either. Posted via the Android Central App

Another question about evolution. I am trying to keep each unique attack combo. One ratta has dig where another has body slam. If I evolve them do they keep that attack or get a different one? If they get different after evolve I might as well transfer all my weaker ones no matter the attack...

Are you sure that burn in isn't finger prints? I have caught myself stabbing at what I thought was a Pokémon and realized it was a bunch of greasy fingerprints. Good thing I have a glass screen protector. I'm constantly cleaning my screen. Posted via the Android Central App

A reporter I read had it figured out for the 3 step figures. It runs left to right top down. Closest is top left top right is closer than 2nd row left. Walk one direction if the target gets closer keep going otherwise turn around. If it stops and starts going down go back a bit then turn left...

Watch the nearby gyms for a couple days. Yesterday it seemed like my area was all red with some big hitters next door. Today the 3 closest gyms represent all 3 teams. Posted via the Android Central App

Yes practically a reverse tap. When the screen shows up let go of the power (while still holding the volume down key) then quickly hold it back down.

I have the ATT LG G4 and after a dozen tries I finally got to the Factory reset. Holding down Vol-Down and Power button. As soon as the LG Life is Good screen shows up I very briefly let go of the Power button, left the Vol-Down pressed. I got the skinned factory reset screen. My bluetooth...

I carry the battery and case when I am going out with a less than full battery. I have only swapped it out once or twice. This last time I swapped it out when the phone shut down but the charger case seems to have a problem charging the dead battery. I had it plugged into a Ventev wall wart...

Was going to wait a few days before checking for the update. Just before I was ready to leave the office early this morning I dropped it on the wireless charger for a few minutes of extra power and it suddenly started applying the update. It must of downloaded it last night when I was on the...

I must of just missed the trollout because I know I checked it last night.
