    Google Assistant won't read text messages

    Ok, so after a week of not being able to have my text messages dictated out to me while I'm driving, I decided to download the Google Messages (blue icon) app to replace my default existing Messaging (yellow icon) app for SMS text messages. Of course, Google Assistant is now working as it...

    Google Assistant won't read text messages

    Has this issue been resolved yet? I have Google Assistant read out loud new text messages all the time when I'm driving but as of late, it started telling me I have no new messages when I clearly just received a new message as well. It's definitely something that has to be patched up on...

    Charging blocked by moisture, help needed.

    Just wanted to add my recent experience to this existing thread. Yesterday, I went to a heated therapeutic pool with my little one for a nice, warm swim. I had my G6 in my backpack, which I left on the side of the pool room. I guess the humidity of that room infiltrated the USB port of the...

    Big update from Rogers today

    So 2 hours later and I've doubled my progress to 36%. Whoo-hoo! /sarcasm

    Big update from Rogers today

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. Came here to see if others were doing this software upgrade at excruciatingly slow download speeds as well. It's taken a couple of hours on Wi-Fi just to be at my current 18%. Slow like molasses!

    Best LG G5 Cases - Share your picks!

    Just wanted to add to a running thread by giving another nod to the Spigen Thin Fit case. I went through 2 other "no name" cases for my G5 where both of them broke in very short time. Disappointed with the poor quality, I went ahead and opted for a Spigen. I immediately noticed how truly thin...

    short cut texting

    Last I checked, that feature is not available on the stock LG Keyboard. It's definitely available with Google's GBoard keyboard app though.

    What are your favorite racing games for Android?

    I love Beach Buggy Blitz too. Simple but a lot of fun and worthy of repeated play. I occasionally play Beach Buggy Racing (the follow up to Beach Buggy Blitz) too but the original is still better!

    Nougat update draining battery?

    I posted in another LG G5 Nougat thread but my issues reflect the comments in this very thread as well. Battery consumption/drain has been horrendous since the Marshmallow-Nougat update. Under battery usage, the top item is "Phone idle" at 16% followed by "Android System" at 14% then "Screen"...

    G5 with nougat

    Interesting thread. I Googled online then decided to come on here to see if any other G5 users are having battery issues like me. Essentially, since the Nougat upgrade, my G5 has been consuming battery life significantly faster than on Marshmallow. For example, overnight, I'd have it on...

    Are the modules essential?

    I have the G5 and I love it but I have zero inclination to use any Friends modules at all. That said, I didn't choose the G5 for its modular capabilities. It's still a great phone without it.

    Adding a Word to the T9 Dictionary

    I posted a question about this in an older thread but didn't get any responses. In any case, I've since found a solution to all my shortcut typing woes simply by using the Google Keyboard instead of the LG Keyboard. The Google Keyboard dictionary allows words with punctuations as well as a...

    Size. Matters.

    I generally like my phones large, e.g. iPhone 6 Plus or Samsung Galaxy Note 5. That said, I'm currently using an LG G5 with a 5.3" screen, even smaller than its predecessor, the G4 which sported a 5.5" screen. It didn't take long to adjust to the narrower phone but it is clearly a different...

    1) Shutting an app, 2) basic floating window 3) quick access

    Out of habit and the fact that I like things nice & clean, I actually close each app as I'm done using it via the recent apps list (by opening the recent apps list, then swiping that app to the left, to the right or by tapping the 'X').
