    Gear S3 issues with WiFi

    Hi, About a week ago, I bought a (used) Samsung Gear S3 Classis (from a good friend). It's great, but I've got one issue I can't seem to resolve, and searching didn't really produce any relevant results either. I've got WiFi setting on it to Auto, and I connect it to my 2.4G home network, no...

    HDR videos crashing Youtube app on latest update

    Yep, I received that update too, and was hopeful, but alas, it still crashes. Downgrading the app all the way down to version 12.17.41 (presumably the version installed at factory) "fixes" the problem. I really don't get it. It does the same under safe mode too... Is the actual phone faulty??? :(

    HDR videos crashing Youtube app on latest update

    Thank you all for checking... Mine still crashes. :( Hopefully someone on the official Google Youtube forum has a suggestion or an idea on how to get this sorted out.

    Thank you. Mine doesn't even start, it momentarily freezes, then crashes. Are you on version 13.10.59? Thanks again.

    HDR videos crashing Youtube app on latest update

    Hi, Can some of you do me a favour please? The latest update of Youtube on my Pixel 2 XL is version 13.10.59. Any HDR 4K video I try to play (from this channel, for example: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCve7_yAZHFNipzeAGBI5t9g) crashes the app. It just closes with a message Youtube has...

    Boot loop, help needed

    Hi nobo, I ended up flashing the phone with the latest image, and starting from scratch. This was the only thing that worked for me, I'm pretty sure my userdata.img file on the phone got corrupted, so overwriting it with a factory-build fresh one was what worked. The links above are...

    Boot loop, help needed

    Wow. So, I've just tried following two guides I found, one for flashing a factory image but preserving user data, and another for applying a rescue OTA, and neither worked, even though I followed each guide to the letter, and received all the responses as the guides listed them and no errors in...

    Boot loop, help needed

    I tried this and it didn't work. Basically, once the white Google logo and padlock show, it doesn't matter if I let go or keep holding Power forever (I held it for nearly a minute). All that happens is the looping, Google logo and padlock showing for a few seconds, disappearing, showing again...

    Boot loop, help needed

    The phone is about fully charged now. I have initially (when it was completely dead) put it on a wireless charger, the battery symbol being charged showed up so I left it thinking all was fine. Some time later, not sure, maybe half an hour or so, I picked the phone up, thinking it will have...

    Boot loop, help needed

    Hi, I've had my Nexus 6 64Gb for about two and a half years now, and it's mostly served me very well. It's quite slowed down now, and the battery has really weakened, but when it's charged it's working mostly ok. Unfortunately, today, the battery run down completely, and the phone shut down. I...

    Nexus 6: Marshmallow 6.0 Discussion - Images / OTA

    When mentioning am OEM update, are you talking about a non-Nexus device(s)? I've got a Nexus 6. The rest makes sense and thank you for taking the time to reply in detail. I might give it a go the way you describe! Thanks again, Vlad.

    Nexus 6: Marshmallow 6.0 Discussion - Images / OTA

    I'm slightly confused here. Do I choose to erase the phone and put it back to factory settings from the Settings, Backup & Reset menu? Then after it's done that, ONLY then I install the update? And THEN, I do another factory reset? Regarding the above, does this mean you manually find and...

    "Ok Google" - using with reminder apps

    Hi, I use Google Keep for my reminders. If I say "Ok Google", then "Note to self...", the phone will record the reminder in Keep. However, if I say "Ok Google", then "Remind me to...", the phone doesn't save this to Keep, instead it saves as a "Google reminder", which I'm sure isn't the right...
