I have loved everything about my N6 since I bought it almost two years ago, with one exception. The battery life has never been great and has deteriorated over time. Perhaps this is because I charge the phone mostly on a wireless pad. About a year ago, I paired the phone to a smartwatch. The...

It popped up about an hour ago in my notifications. I run my stock N6 on Sprint in suburban Dallas. The OTA install went smoothly. The only glitch was that 43 apps from Amazon had to be individually reinstalled.

I have a Nexus 6 and a LG Watch Urbane, both stock. They have been paired since birth, until yesterday. Since my phone got the April update via OTA, neither device finds the other on Bluetooth. I have hard booted both devices, twice. No bueno! I think that I have solved the problem, by doing a...

I have a stock N6 running on Sprint. I left it untouched on my desk, with 100% power, for about 4 hours. When I picked up, it was at 6%! The cause appears to be something called Mediaserver. I haven't seen this before. It appears to be a service, not an app. Can anyone enlighten me on how to...

Several months ago, I got a LG Watch Urbane and paired it with my N6. It was a good marriage, but always-on Bluetooth caused a real dip in my N6 battery life. I never could find a solution, until today. It turns out that a big battery killer is the Google Photos app, which syncs to the cloud...

I got the OTA last night and almost immediately found a minor issue. I use the Simple Analog Clock widget on an alternate home screen. With a seconds hand, it is useful for frequently setting my Rolex watch (Rolex makes watches that are expensive jewelry but lousy timekeepers). After upgrading...

If you have a Google Chromecast AND a phone case with a Really Firm Grip, you can now play tennis on your TV much like you might do with a Wii. The Motion Tennis Cast app is available for free in the Google PlayStore. ☺

I have been with Verizon for more than a decade and kept my Droid Bionic for 3+ years because I didn't want to give up my grandfathered plan. For about $70/month (plus taxes and fees), I got 300 minutes of voice, 250 texts, and unlimited data. But I was not a happy Verizon customer. Inside my...

The TF700T has always been a pretty quiet tablet. My solution was to run Equalizer in the background with across-the-board +15dB settings. That made the tablet loud enough for me, but it ended with Jelly Bean. The Equalizer app still runs, but it no longer seems to do anything. Does anyone...

I have an Asus Transformer Infinity (TF700T) tablet that has been slow and laggy since installing Jelly Bean. Tonight, I finally found a solution that basically gives me a speedy new tablet. Then I tried it on my Bionic, with similar results. Here are the very simple directions: 1] Go to...

Google Search and Google Now both worked fine before the recent update. Now, neither works. A simple search for something like "Margaret Thatcher" spins for 20-30 seconds and then dumps back to the home screen with no results. Is anyone else having this issue? Does anyone have any solutions...

FoxFi was updated today, specifically to provide compatibility with Jeally Bean on many phones including several flavors of the Moto Droid such as the Razr and Razr Maxx. This means that the updated FoxFi should also provide compatibility with Jelly Bean on the Droid Bionic. For those of you...

My Bionic used to take screenshots using Volume Rocker + Power Button. Since upgrading to 4.0.4, my (stock) Bionic no longer takes screenshots. Does anyone else have this problem? Does anyone have a work-around?

Does anyone know the correct procedure for doing a cold boot (not a factory data reset) on a stock Infinity running JB? Thanks in advance to all that respond.

Does anyone know the correct procedure for doing a cold boot (not a factory data reset) on a stock Bionic running ICS? Thanks in advance to any that respond.

I first got ICS on my Asus TF101 early last summer. The stock browser had Quick Controls, which I grew to really like. Then I moved to ICS Browser+, because it had enhanced and customizable Quick Controls. When I upgraded to my Asus TF700T, I stuck to ICS Browser+. A few weeks ago, that...

Is there a way to switch to white text on a black background? Is there a way to delete trash (messages filed in the trash folder/label)?

You can check by reading the article at the link below and clicking on the test link in Paragraph #1. My phone, which is stock, failed the test. Phones running the various leaks will probably fail too (someone please confirm). So, now we need three Moto OTAs: ICS, JB, and an USSB Exploit...

On my TF101, I got Face Unlock to run after deleting all certificates. Then the option showed up in Security, I selected and configured it, and it ran very well. On my TF700T, the Face Unlock option is not shown in Security, even after all certificates have been deleted. Does anyone have Face...

I have now had my TF700T for all of four days. I have it fully configured and have re-installed more than 400 apps (be cautious of EA apps as they don't want to download their data files). It runs great and I am happy with everything except the battery life. I will be even happier when the...

I have been very frustrated with my unreliable (sometimes on, but mostly off) 4G data service for the past 2-3 weeks. It was getting worse every day. This morning, I couldn't hold 4G (or even 3G) for more than a minute or two between data drops. My efforts last week installing a new SIM card...

ASUS has released an update to their ASUS Transformer TF101 today to add Face Unlock and a few other features. This update to the ASUS Transformer TF101 that has already been running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich brings its software to version 9.2.1.24 and adds functionality and improves system...

I've had my TF101 for about a year now. One early issue for me was sound, or more precisely, the inability to crank up the volume. My initial solution was to download and install a free app, "Equalizer". Eventually, it caused my HC tablet to become unstable, so I uninstalled it. Now I have...

It has been quite some time since I updated to ICS 4.0.3. Prior to the update, my stock TF101 was completely stable. Since the update, my home screen periodically goes blank. The shortcuts and widgets all disappear. Even the new app drawer shortcut goes away. I am left with only the...

For the most part, I really like Android 4.03 on my TF101. ICS brings a much faster browser and spell-checking for the keyboard dock. However, there are several annoying bugs that I have not yet found solutions for: 1] When returning to the home screen from some apps or even from the...
