    Hi, I have a Fossil Gen 5 watch (Carlye). I only care about the Time and counting my Steps. I want this data tracked in Google Fit. Trying to get max battery time too. So I am turning off everything that is not needed. If I only want Steps (not workouts) just walking about doing normal day...

    Help QuickMemo+ ?

    I did an export of the items I have saved in QuickMemo+, but I cannot find it. Is QuickMemo+ an LG app? I'm thinking it is so wanted to export it so I could save the data (text) into some other app if I ever get an non-LG phone. Any ideas? Thanks

    No MM Doze on Boost version, but...

    On Boost version. Yesterday I changed the way lock screen "disolves" into the home screen when you swipe it to "soda" effect.
