My wife and kids had Fitbits for years... until my kids moved to Samsung Galaxy Smartwatches and couldn't be happier. My wife now has the Samsung (non-active) and loves it. Fitbit was just OK, issues always seem to start about 10-15 months in and support was never much help. My wife does miss...

Thanks Rukbat We live in north San Diego, 1/4 mile from the tower and definitely not out in the sticks. Today we stopped in at Verizon store, one of the guys had a Samsung, only marginally better strength than ours. He said it's not the phone. I then said that where we work and live the...

Thanks guys, i'm glad it's working now Michael, wasn't aware the warranty was extended... Both me and my wife have very poor cellular strength, 1-3 bars, live 1/4 mile from a cell tower on the Verizon network. Have opened several tickets with Verizon and they say it's not your phone, it's...

Well, at bedtime I picked it up, held the power button for nearly 60 seconds when the Google G finally appeared. Once fully booted, battery was at 100% One side of me was pretty upset at the thought of spending all that money on a new phone. The other side of me was drooling over the P4 LOL...

Hey all P2 is 23 months old - no extended warranty Today the battery depleted to where the phone shut down and now it won't charge. The last time I saw the battery level around 3pm today it was 10% Tried 3 different cables and 4 charging options (car USB, car AC adapter, battery pack and...

For the past 3 months my cell strength is horrible. Several tickets open with Verizon and nothing. New SIM cards recently, no luck. We live just north of San Diego so it's not cuz we are in the country. Verizon says our phones are fine it's them but no resolution... Not so sure P2 and P2XL

Does anyone know what's in this release?

My wife has a P2 XL and is not having any battery issues Good luck Rick

My first call to Verizon, the rep said it was due to a Mexico carrier starting up on the same frequency. My case was closed 2 days later as fixed, the solution... turn on Wi-Fi Calling and/or HD calling. I called again and got a real nice guy from Customer Support, said he had never heard of...

I moved back to 2 button, the gestures just doesn't feel natural to me and i miss swipes once in a while. i'll give Google an update or 2 to tweak it in

Also please make sure the charging port is not dirty with lint and what not. I use a wooden tooth pick to clean the port every 4-5 months. I have had charging issues as well and this fixed it

I felt like Beta 5 and 6 made my P2 faster, super smooth and responsive. The release of 10 has slowed it back down to pre beta :(
