    Help LG G Watch does not charge

    My LG G Watch, purchased last Thanksgiving, is having a hard time charging. I leave it on its charge cradle but it will, even when unattended, simply stop charging at times. Of course, connected-but-not-charging is death for the battery so in the morning it's completely drained. I've even...

    Best Google Play Edition Phone (circa July 2014)

    My trusty Nexus 4 is slowly falling apart. It's not charging properly, I just had to replace the battery (it died entirely and I needed to get data off it), etc. I think it's time for a new phone. :-( I like stock Android, so I'm looking primarily at the Google Play Edition devices. I was...

    Help Charging port seems broken?

    My Nexus 4's USB port seems to be slowly dying. When plugged into the USB cable on my desk at home OR my desk at work, it will only sometimes pick up a charge. When sitting idle on my desk my computer will periodically re-notify me that an MTP device has been connected, indicating that the...

    Transfer data to new phone without card

    I really should have thought of this sooner, but... :-) I just bought a new Nexus 4 (yay!), and it's charging now. My old phone is a Samsung Vibrant. I want to transfer all of my old data over. PIM data of course I can just get from Google, and downloadable apps I can just redownload, no...

    Google TV remote video player

    Hi all. I'm looking for app advice again. I have a Logitech Revue, freshly arrived from eBay. I also have a home media server elsewhere on the network, aka a Linux box with a huge hard drive. :-) I am trying to determine the best way to make them talk to each other so I can play videos and...

    Nexus 4 vs. Galaxy S3

    Yeah, this is one of those threads again. I need some buying advice, largely just to bounce thoughts off of people. I'm looking to replace my Samsung Vibrant (Galaxy S for T-Mobile). I've been waiting to see what came out of Google this fall, and the Nexus 4 seems to be it. I'm not...

    Help Transfering app data on warranty replacement

    Hi folks. I have a Samsung Vibrant that I am having replaced under warranty, due to GPS issues. T-Mobile was reasonably good about getting it sent out, so no complaints there. However, I now need to figure out how to get all of my data transferred over nicely. According to T-Mobile, I can...

    Help Navigation freezes completely

    Hi folks. On my Vibrant (unrooted), various recent updates to Google Navigation have rendered that app essentially unusable. Basically anything post-ROM has an issue where when I start navigation, even when it does pick up a GPS signal and try to navigate it has a good chance of freezing up...

    Migrating from Palm Treo

    Hi folks. I've just gotten my first Android phone (Samsung Vibrant on T-Mobile) and so far so good. However, now comes the fun part: Getting my data over from my Palm Treo 680. At minimum I want to bring over my Contacts, Calendar, and Memo data. But, there's a few catches: 1) The Treo...

    Text input?

    Hi folks. I'm eying the Vibrant as my first Android phone (yep, starting at the top), coming from a long line of Palm OS devices culminating with a Treo 680. So far I like most of what I see, with two caveats: The lack of camera flash (I've not had one before, but with a 5 MP camera it seems a...

    Really-Open eBook reader?

    Hi folks. My mother recently indicated that she's considering being in the market for an ebook reader. However she is, bless her soul, firmly insistent on open format, DRM-free, and the ability to "really own" a book she's downloaded. She doesn't even want the potential for a...

    Thoughts on soft keyboards

    Greetings, 'droids. I'm currently a Palm Treo user looking to migrate to Android this summer on T-Mobile. I'm still eying devices and haven't decided what to move to yet, but one of the big stumbling blocks for me is the keyboard, or rather the common lack thereof. I really like the...
