    News The Moto Tag is pretty neat, but it doesn't bring anything new to the table

    I've been using Tiles for a while now. The tiles are pretty good at finding stuff local to you and last location. I think what the ios and now hopefully android trackers should bring is the ability to track in real time using the network of phones. Because there are so many iphones out there...

    What am I missing out on by buying a Galaxy Watch 4 now

    I currently have the first gen galaxy watch. I’ve had it for years and it’s served me well. I was thinking about upgrading to one of the wear OS galaxy watches. I see I can get the watch 4 classic refurbished for 100 bucks or so. I realize the watch 6 classic has a better screen and battery...

    long press home button for google assistant does not work

    Yesterday I bit the bullet and switched to the gestures. Initially annoying but by the evening I'd figured it out pretty well and don't want to go back.

    long press home button for google assistant does not work

    Tried that as well and didn't work. Perhaps it's a bug and a software update will fix it...

    long press home button for google assistant does not work

    I have the same device (verizon ultra 512gb). THe button lights up when pressed so it senses the press. It's just not launching google. Scrounging around the internet it looks like this happens other previous android devices.

    long press home button for google assistant does not work

    I confirmed that it's set up correctly and google is the default assistant app. I tried restarting the phone. I was able to get it to work on the screen corner with gestures (only Android gestures) with samsung gestures it doesn't work. With buttons (which I prefer) it doesnt work.

    long press home button for google assistant does not work

    I can get google assistant to work by saying "OK Google". However I cannot get the long press of the home button to bring it up. Any thoughts? Note 20 ultra on verizon. Thanks!

    repeated notifications for certain messages

    I know about both the options above. The thing about the specific ringtone is that I only really need it to annoy me when I'm on call (honestly when I'm on call at night since in the day time I'll see the text on my watch). The notification reminder still means I have to change the ringtone to...

    repeated notifications for certain messages

    I am sometimes on call and my pages go to my cell phone as sms so I do not need to carry a pager. I used to use to an app called Klaxon that was PERFECT for this purpose. It would alert for the specific phone number associated with my pager texts. I could give it an obnoxious ringtone and make...

    Liquid Screen Protectors with Warranty?

    Over the years I've tried different screen protectors on my phones. TPU, glass, etc... With my current phone (Galaxy note 8) I tried a few different ones and they had trouble with the curved screen. I ended up going w/o a protector for a week and as luck would have it I cracked the screen. After...

    Merge text message, call log, and What's app files from 2 phones

    I have a Galaxy note 8. The phone sustained water damage. I picked up my old LG V20 and used it while the phone is being fixed. Like an ***** I do not back up my SMS/Call logs/What's app. I do back up pictures and use exchange for contacts/calendar so that's all back up. Usually when I change...

    Poll: Do you use Android Auto?

    I have it on my 2018 TLX. It's a game changer. I don't think i'd ever want a car that does not have phone integration. Google Maps/Waze is better than any on board nav. Also, the ability to use stitcher and spotify.
