    Google Play store not installing apps

    Same thing for me with my Moto Z Play...apps download to 100% and then nothing. I'd have to close App store and reopen for apps to install. Also my notifications were then delayed for up to an hour or longer. Finally tried disabling the Google App and everything worked fine. Only problem with...

    Disable Screen Lock on Amazon G5 Plus?

    Thanks, I just tried your suggestion. Rebooted and still no "none" feature. I can only guess Amazon took out the "none" for the obvious reason of forcing lock screen ads but seems they didn't do anything to get rid of that block for those of us that decided to pay to get rid of ads. Sure, it got...

    The LG-G3 update caused a boot loop, how can I get out of it?

    My dad has had this issue lately. Would be using the phone and it would randomly turn off, boot loop a bunch of times and finally start up again. I reset the phone for him and still happens. Researched it and it seems it has to be the battery. Phone operates fine without reboots/boot loops when...

    Google Play Services eating battery

    Turning off Dev Options worked for me too. Was up to 60%. Turned it off and now its down to 48% and my battery is lasting longer. I turned it on a day or so ago...before that I got almost a full 2 days on one charge and using my screen for about 2-3 hours. Today I noticed I was down almost 40%...

    New Samsung Gear S Owner - Has my moment passed?

    Played with both an S and S2. Liked the S better and still use it with my trusty old Note 3. I wish Samsung would do another watch like the S and just make it slightly larger or less bezel/more screen and thinner. People still ask today "what is that?"

    Why would pics in text come in corrupted looking?

    Recently any time my dad sends me or anyone a text with images, the images come out all corrupted looking on my end. He's using an LG G3. Any ideas why this would be happening?

    Can I swap my AT&T unlimited data sim from my phone to a Gear S?

    Hmm...i tweeted Cricket Wireless asking them if it would be a problem to swap sims between phone and watch and they said it shouldn't be an issue to my account at all...just that it would use data. Why would ATT give a crap which device i'm using as a phone? It's not like we're using both...

    Brand New Verizon Samsung Gear S For Very Cheap - Good Deal?

    Paid $179 for the S on BestBuy online today. Played with the S2 and liked the S better...bigger screen, speaker, make calls, keyboard. You're not "crazy" for spending 180-200 for this year old phone.

    My Standalone Experience: AT&T Gear S as my only phone

    well that was an interesting read. Sorry to hear about your pop. Just picked up my Gear S yesterday. Nice price drop now that the S2 is out. Picked it up from Best Buy for $189.99. Used both the S2 and S and I love the S a lot more. S2 looks/feels tiny and you lose a lot of screen real estate...

    UPDATE: Taking a first phone call since the screen replacement today I noticed my screen wasn't turning off. Looked at the LED/Proximity area with a light and looked like i could see to the back of the casing!! Took the phone apart and the moron didn't put the proximity sensor back in!!! How...

    Is the G2 LED notification light part of the screen?

    Screen on my G2 was totally cracked up but the LED notification light still worked. Was red when I plugged in the charger. Was green when I turned on phone. Got the screen replaced and now the LED notification light doesn't work. Charge the phone and no red light. Turn on the phone and no green...

    Google Music Uploads Issue

    yeah, that's a good suggestion...just a matter of hunting through the albums to find those songs...about 22 tracks and all from different albums. Having it set as an album is just easier. Wondering if even though i'm retagging the file...there's some metadata not changing and Google is seeing it...
