Got mine this PM on Nexus 5.

This is probably happening during sync. Go into your Android sync settings and choose "Sync now" in the Google section. The "Request permission" message should pop up. This appears to often be connected with the My Tracks application. If you are using it, go into the My Tracks settings and turn...

Yes, turn off the sync in the My Tracks settings, then turn it back on. It should ask you for the missing permission and then all will be well.

This update gets a good review from me. The first thing I noticed was faster, smoother UI rendering. For some reason the last release was unusually jerky and slow for me, but that seems to be fixed. Even better is that whatever was causing the Android system services to thrash more than they...

I had that problem. Using My Files I went into DCIM/.thumbnails and erased the contents of the folder. It's been fine since.

I don't understand the problem you're describing, unless maybe you're using software to export your contacts and then re-import them into memory. If so, you are probably creating phone contacts that are duplicates of your Google and Facebook contacts. In contrast to your complaint, I love the...

Anyone have experience with this product? I know it's pricey compared to the Chinese batteries on eBay, but I like the design of the replacement backshell a lot better. Between that and the beefy 3300mAh Japanese battery, I'd consider splurging.

That would be my dream upgrade too.

I got an Epic 4G last year and I feel I picked my perfect phone. The Galaxy S specs with a slide-out keyboard is an awesome combo, giving you the option to do more serious typing (or just easier typing) any time you need to or feel like it. A Galaxy S II slider would be my perfect upgrade--the...

I used to have this problem occasionally. In various places I've read of other people with the same symptom. Some previous software update seems to have fixed it for good though--haven't had it for a while. It might have even been the original Froyo release that fixed it.

I orginally chose the Epic 4G over the Evo 4G for the better size (a bit smaller/lighter), the sharper display and the keyboard--and I love my choice. If Sprint releases a Galaxy S II phone with a keyboard (an Epic 2) I'd go for it in a heartbeat. The same things will be true except that it will...

Easy peasy no-wipe update. Gratitude to all involved.

Don't know what you do in the industry, but that doesn't sound correct. I doubt my phone battery is smarter than the battery in my new Samsung laptop. The laptop has a program in the firmware to recalibrate the battery meter, and the manufacturer specifies certain circumstances under which it's...
