    Help Remove duplicate device from Google account

    I searched & found old threads, I'm just wondering if there's any new info. that would let me delete duplicate devices from my account. I used to use a Pixel 2, then bought a 3a. Then I had to have the 3a replaced, so I switched back to the 2 for a bit. Then I switched to the new 3a, and had...

    Great phone if you're not a klutz (like me)

    I was planning on getting the 4 when it came out, then due to the cost & no fingerprint sensor, I read up on the 3A (thanks to a mention by Mackey69 in another thread) & decided that would be a better upgrade for me so I picked one up for just 249 at tmobile during "Magenta days" or whatever...

    Pixel 2 not reading new texts

    I don't use this particular functionality often but on my old Pixel XL, sometimes when driving I'd use "OK Google" to send a text or read a new incoming text out loud. I've had my Pixel 2 since a few months after launch - recently I've had a few occasions while driving when a text would come in...

    T-Mobile 55+ plan

    Have you guys seen the T-Mobile plan for 55+? I'm not quite old enough, but it's a "for life" plan - $60/mo total for two lines with taxes and fees included (after $5 per line AutoPay discount). https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/t-mobile-one-unlimited-55 One of the few times in my life I wish I...

    Phone misbehaving bigly

    I've had my Nexus 5X since April 2016, it's worked flawlessly until today. I looked at facebook this morning before work & sent a few texts, no problems. I'm on Google Fi, also on the Google beta program and got either a beta or the standard monthly Google update the middle of last week. This...

    Help OK Google acknowledgement tone

    I have a Nexus 5X running Nougat. I only use the "OK Google" voice controls periodically, and yesterday may have been the first time since upgrading to Nougat a few weeks ago. Now, when I say "OK Google" - I'm not getting the acknowledgement "ding" so I know she's listening. There used to be...

    Help Google Now won't read text messages any more

    Last week I decided to see if I could get a male voice on my phone, for when Google talks back to you. So I downloaded the UK files within Google Now & selected a male voice, which didn't work (it stayed female, no matter what) - so I uninstalled the UK voice file & switched back to the US...

    Pixelated videos

    I don't watch a lot of videos on my phone, but just recently I've watched a few & they're very pixelated. One was a short video I received by text, & just this morning I watched 2 short videos on Facebook, & all are so pixelated they look terrible. These are all 30 seconds or less. I've used...

    Sprint to Fi speed bump

    This past Saturday - days after porting my number from Sprint to ProjectFi - I got a bunch of surprise texts from various stores, my credit card company, pharmacy, etc., saying I'd unsubscribed from their texts. This was news to me! Today I found the answer...

    What phone would you recommend?

    I've been on sprint for years (current phone is LG G3) & recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 from T-Mobile so I could try out their network. The network seems better, the phone is nice enough (although it bugs me that I can't set it up the same way without a new launcher, but I can live with...

    Service

    How's the service with t-mobile? I'm thinking of leaving Sprint & going to t-mobile but I don't know if their service is really any better? It's always so hard to tell from the coverage maps & other websites. And how is their customer service? This weekend I stopped into a store & was...

    Talk About What Movies You've Seen Lately

    Recently I saw two movies at the theater - Sisters, and Daddy's Home. Both are comedies, I thought they were both pretty funny. Sisters: Two sisters decide to throw one last house party before their parents sell their family home. Amy Poehler & Tina Fey are the sisters, with James Brolin &...

    ES File Explorer: Delete Files on Uninstall

    Slightly off topic question. I remember someone mentioned, a few months ago, that either ES File Explorer or X-plore had a setting or some functionality where, when you removed an app from your phone, it would sometimes ask if you wanted it to delete any extraneous files. I reset my phone a...

    Textra & MMS error

    I have an LG G3 on Sprint, & I've been using Textra on this phone since I bought the phone in February, with no issues at all. Last week I did a factory reset on my phone because it's been acting a little weird sometimes (nothing to do with Textra or texts) - and since then, I keep getting an...

    Tasker questions

    I've used Llama for years because it was so easy to use, but since there are some problems with how it works now & the dev seems like he's abandoned it, I'm trying Tasker again. It seems a bit more user friendly now than when I first tried it years ago. I have fairly simple needs; I've...

    Help Groupons & having to hand off your phone - how to lock the screen?

    I don't know if the G3 has a way to do this or if I need a 3rd party app. I'd like to be able to protect my contacts/address book so if someone gets my phone when it's awake, they can't get into my contacts list. My phone has a pattern lock to keep people out of my phone & that generally works...

    What's your favorite grocery shopping app?

    I've been using Out of Milk for years & have been pretty happy with it. There have been a couple recent updates where users aren't happy, so I'm holding off on updating & thought I'd explore other options. There are a lot of choices out there, some with not many ratings, but they might be...

    Sprint texting is down

    I got a couple texts tonight & when I tried responding to them, they wouldn't go through. Turns out Sprint is having a nationwide problem with texting right now, hopefully it'll be fixed soon. Here's some info: https://downdetector.com/status/sprint

    What camera do you use with your G3?

    The camera on my old G2 seemed pretty full-featured, while the camera on the G3 seems really bare-bones. What camera app do you guys use with your G3's?

    Phone sometimes takes pictures by itself

    I have a Sprint LG G3, sometimes I have my phone in my purse & I hear the shutter click, even though the phone screen was locked & it shouldn't be possible for it to have gotten bumped. Has anyone else had this happen? It's not happening a lot, just once in a while. If it continues happening...

    Sprint adware

    I have the Sprint LG G3, every now & then (maybe once a month) the Sprint logo (far left in the pic) appears in my upper bar due to some Sprint ad. My phone's not rooted & I don't want to root it, does anyone know if there's a preference somewhere that I can turn off to stop these?

    Help How to get Bluetooth passcode screen again?

    I got my G3 back in February - within about a week of getting it, Lollipop came through & I never felt the need to do a factory reset since everything was working fine. But being the curious creature that I am, I've been wondering if anything would be different if I did a FDR, so last week I...

    Saving an old version of an app

    I use Alarm Clock Extreme & it's awesome, works perfectly for me. It seems the app recently changed ownership & an update was published, there are a lot of unhappy users so I haven't updated it on my phone. How can I save the version currently on my phone to either my SD card or to my PC, so...

    Predictive text silliness

    In another thread where someone asked for keyboard recommendations, someone posted what came up for them when they just pressed the middle prediction button on their phone, so of course a couple of others had to try it. It made for some entertaining results, so I thought it might be fun to see...

    Help Apps with usage access - error

    Any time I restart my phone I get an error because of Smart Clean, it apparently resets itself & that interferes with Llama, & I need to go & toggle Smart Clean off again. Does anyone know if I can get to the screen below without going from an error message? Or - how to make Smart...
