I can't find that phone profile option you mention, under Bluetooth in settings, it only tells me me whether the phones are connected or not. and no, the headphones are not connected to another device. (I occasionally connect them to an iPad, but the BT option is currently switched off on that...

PS: in the google play store, under USB drivers, I see all kinds of stuff - should I install one of those? or would it not make any difference?

rats, no, I keep tapping the battery / charging icon - in the "quick pull-down settings" on the home screen (as opposed to the full settings app), I get the info that the device is charging (and the numerical percentage to which it is charged), but no, there's nothing I can tap that let's me...

thanks for this and all help. do you think the problem is the MoviePass app - it does seem odd that this is the ONLY app I have encountered that gives me the problem, am only assuming it's connected to the "device failed verification" warning. thanks again. w

thank you! Have been on the phone all morning with Verizon. they sent me a piece of mac software SOFTWARE UPGRADE ASSISTANT. the first thing I need to do, apparently, is "choose 'software installation' as the USB mode." but there's absolutely no info on how to do that! can anyone give me...

thanks ! I do appreciate any help re the issue, and what to do re the "device failed verification" issue (and the moviePass app). thanks yet again, w PS: more proper model number of my device is XT1650

(apologies - I tried posting this last night and it doesn't seem to have been posted - my apologies if this turns out to be redundant...) Samsung Moto 1650 Android system 7.1.1 a few months ago, I started getting the message: "device failed verification" whenever I would re-start the phone...

Moto XT 1650 one app has stopped working, one day it worked, the next minute when I try to open, it closes automatically. my impulse is to delete it and re-install, but I have no idea how to do that on Android. can anyone give me some basic instruction on how to delete an app? or any other...

accessing free wifi, especially in NYC subway Hi! I started this yesterday, but I couldn't figure out how to extend the thread, ie, reply to the reply - apologies for redundancy: ME: Okay, there is supposed to be wi-fi in the subway stations - and elsewhere in the city, right? When I am in a...

Okay, there is supposed to be wi-fi in the subway stations - and elsewhere in the city, right? When I am in a station, or even on the street, and I check my wi-fi settings, I see that I am "connected" to TRANSITLINK or WIFI-NYC or whatever it's called, but there's 'no internet." So I can't...
