    External Speaker/ Speakerphone useless after 8.1 update

    Not rooted. Updated the OTA 8.1 last night. First use today, my extra speaker is now so quiet (on full volume) that it's functionally useless. Trying to make a call on speakerphone is marginally louder than holding the phone away from my head with the speaker off. Watching Youtube is...

    About to send my MG4+ back on RMA due to ghost touches

    I've read that some people have had good service with getting their phones repaired/ replaced due to ghost touches. Hopefully I have the same luck. I bought my MG4+ brand new off of Amazon on Dec 2nd, and now a little over a month later, if the phone gets remotely cold due to being outside, or...

    Giving up on my S60

    About a month ago the GPS on my S60 all but stopped working. Never had an issue with it until then, and I didn't change anything that would have called this. But in the last month, my phone is only getting a GPS signal about 10% of the time. I've been limping along like that, as I'm normally...

    New update available

    Had another wifi lock that melted away 20% of my battery, so I happened to tell the phone to search for an update, and alas, there is one available. 570.1 MB. Unfortunately they only allow updates over wifi, so I'll have to wait until I get home. But at least there is one. I hope to God it...

    Help New issue to me- Battery discharge while charging

    Posting to see if anyone else has experienced this. I'm a little behind, so this happened a week ago. I went to bed and put the phone on charge. When I woke up and unplugged it, I was shocked to see it at 1%, especially since it still had 20%+ when I put it on charge. Apparently, the phone...

    My camera quality terrible after the most recent update... anyone else?

    I'm not imagining this. I don't know why the image quality is so bad, but it's bad enough that I'm considering buying a different phone. I'm not asking for the world, but I need a camera that takes a usable image. Here's a picture from my coworker's 12MP cell phone camera: And here's the...

    How to lock screen during call with bluetooth?

    No matter how many times I hit the lock button during bluetooth calls, the damn screen keeps turning itself on. I either feel the phone burning up in my pocket because the screen is on, or my leg hits buttons and mutes and/or hangs up my call. I've google searched a little online regarding...

    Setting to disable GPS background scanning?

    So I finally installed Greenify last night to see what the buzz is all about. Haven't done the ADB permissions stuff yet, but set a couple thing anyways. Checked my battery stats a couple times this morning, all was well, and then I noticed that Maps was the highest percentage consumer...

    uSD Card reading issues

    I have randomly, over the last two weeks, gotten an error that my SD card is an unsupported device. After this happens, the phone sometimes reads it, and sometimes it doesn't. In today's case, it started out reading it (and recording pictures that I took on it), and 20 minutes later, it wasn't...

    Anyone upgrading to Marshmallow?

    Unsure if I should update the family S5A phones or leave them be. Marshmallow isn't bad on my S60 but it has its quirks.

    Anyone take the OS update yet?

    I got curious a little bit ago so I checked: Update is ~144 MB in size. I was a little annoyed because I closed it out, yet my phone decided to go ahead and download the update anyways... I got a notification a little later that it was downloaded and ready to be installed. I would have...

    Anyone tried USB OTG yet?

    Just curious if anyone has tried it. I was about to order an OTG cable with the external power connection, and I've read online that OTG support is a mixed bag for Android devices. I tried on an old tablet once and it didn't work. I seem to have lost that cable, so Im fixing to buy a...

    LG G4 bootloop issues

    Going to hop in this thread since I saw mention of a bootloop problem. My sister's Verizon LG G4 started to bootloop this morning. She said the phone is 6 months old. What's the course of action? Any chance the phones have been recalled?

    Camera App discussion (FV-5, Open Camera, etc) (IMPROVED)

    In principal (FV-5) seems to work. I haven't tested any advanced features out, but when I ran the manual camera compatibility app, it said the S60 has all the manual compatibilities, so I bought FV-5 and installed it, was able to switch between JPG and PNG format, and store RAW files. I've...

    CAT S60 battery life issue with 6.0.1 (Wifi drain)

    So I dunno if anyone else has a S60 yet, at least in the USA yet. I got mine yesterday. I charged it overnight, and this morning took it off the charger with 100% battery life. Estimated battery life was like over 48 hours. My usage today was typical of setting up a new phone... digging up...

    4G is live in Hampton Roads, VA

    Not sure if this forum is where this thread belongs, but even though Sprint's not advertising it, if you look at Clear's coverage map, there is WiMax coverage in parts of Norfolk, Hampton, Newport News, and Gloucester. I connected to the 4G coverage in the Hampton/Newport News area and...

    Root Failed attempt to root for first time with Unrevoked 3 after accepting 9/22 OTA

    I did some research rooting online, and watched the tutorial on droid demos, it was simple for him, so I thought I'd give it a try. Here's exactly what happened... Cliffnotes: I tried to root exactly as the video showed, it failed, and I don't know if I somehow screwed up this seemingly...
