    WiFi Calling - Verizon

    Sorry - disregard my question. It required a system update which added WiFi calling. I was trying to activate it right after putting in the SIM. About 30 minutes later, I got a System Update and the feature is available.

    WiFi Calling - Verizon

    Hi everyone, Does anyone know how to set up WiFi calling for an unlocked Pixel 4 on the Verizon network? I had an unlocked Pixel 3 and WiFi calling was working. I can't seem to find the settings to activate it on the Pixel 4. Thanks in advanced!

    Pixel 3 vs Pixel 4 - Battery Life and Front Camera

    Hello all, Now that a lot of people are starting to get their Pixel 4, I wanted to ask those who previously owned a Pixel 3 what they think of the front facing camera and the battery life between the 3 vs 4 (not XL versions). For the front facing camera, I read they removed autofocus? Has that...

    Oh, good! Now burn-in might be a problem?

    I had mine for 4 days with regular use. Loved it, didn't care about the blue screen, and actually preferred the toned down colors. I did the gray screen check and there was burn in on the bottom of the screen and I could see the soft keys. I tried running a video to remove it but it was still...

    Bluetooth Interruptions?

    Hi everyone, Recently I've been having issues with short interruptions while trying to play music from my phone (Galaxy S7 Edge) to any bluetooth device (headphones, speakers, etc). I tried to figure out what the source was and I found that (1) restarting my phone helped temporarily (the...

    Stall during live audio streams?

    Hello everyone, I'm having an issue with audio streaming apps (Stitcher, NPR, etc) where when I try to stream live audio, it plays for about 5 seconds, then pauses for about 30 seconds, and then starts playing normally. At first I thought it was an app issue so I downloaded multiple apps but...

    Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...

    In terms of the spreadsheet, would it be helpful to add when the phone was actually purchased? Is it possible they're taking purchase date into account and not when the promotion was submitted? I received my S2 yesterday. Purchased online: 3/4 Submitted: 3/10 Approval e-mail: 4/7 Shipped: 4/18...

    Fitbit HR to Gear S2

    Hello everyone, I've read a few experience so far in past threads but I was wondering if anyone can comment on moving from the Fitbit HR to the Gear S2. Overall, I like that the Fitbit HR continuously read my heart rate, that it can automatically keep track of cardio exercises, and that it...

    Erasing Device

    Hi everyone, I have to send back my S7 Edge due to a pixel issue. I want to wipe the phone before sending it. On previous phones, I encrypted the phone before doing a factor reset. I can't find that option on the S7. Is it because Android Marshmallow defaults to encryption? If anyone has...

    Smart Lock not working?

    I was having issues in and out with Smart Lock when connected via Bluetooth in my car or wireless speaker at home. The issue resolved after I disabled AcDisplay. If you have any app that might interfere with the lock screen, try disabling it. I think also there were previous discussions that...

    Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Puck - Warm Phone?

    Hi everyone, I've been using the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Puck to charge my phone every night before bed. When I wake up, I've noticed that the phone is still warm. I would think that once it reaches 100% capacity, it would stop charging and cool down. When I use the USB fast charger that...

    Anybody Come from Moto Droid Turbo or Turbo 2? (or Moto X or Moto X Pure?)

    I came from the Droid Turbo (1st Gen). I think the battery life for the S7 Edge is slightly worse. With my Turbo, I would have about 20-30% at the end of the day and with the S7 Edge, I would have less than 10%. With that being said, I've only had it about a week and I've been playing with the...
