    Help Screen Not Dimming During Call? Functions/Apps Variously Start When on Phone Call

    I searched for a resolution, but I really didn't know how to word the search, or my question! But here goes: My phone is a stock LG G2, VS980, running Lollipop 5.02. Everything has always been really great with this phone, however (and I believe this started with the Lollipop update), when...

    Help Google Play Using 83% of Battery Since System Update

    I don't remember previously seeing an app called Google Play when checking my Battery stats on my Verizon LG2. But it's there now, and it's always at the very top of the battery usage list. It regularly is using 80% or more of the battery. And battery life has suffered. My Android version is...

    Help Photos Sent by Extremely Slow to Load

    Arrrgh. Sorry. Title should read "Photos Sent by TEXT Extremely Slow to Load". So much for my proof reading skills! My wife has a Moto X that has an issue that has been bugging her for some time (since day 1, actually). Her Moto X is a first generation model, and she has installed any...

    Cannot Access Saved Google Maps Workout Internet Connection?

    I'm away from home, using Google Maps for navigation. I knew Internet connectivity would be spotty or non-existant in some areas, so I downloaded a couple of maps. Problem is, once the Internet connection is lost, Google Maps will not let me access my saved maps. I try to open My Places, where I...

    Root Lost Media after Rooting and Restore with Wugfresh Toolkit

    I rooted my 2012 Nexus 7 (4.4.4) this morning using the Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit v1.8.6. I backed up my device using the toolkit. The "Backup Virtual SDcard" option wasn't available to me as the device needs to be wiped first if running 4.4.4. Too bad, as according to the toolkit, this backup...

    Help Navigation Asks "Cancel or Continue" When Screen Awakens

    I didn't know how to best word the title of this post. And therefore, I haven't found any answers anywhere else. Here's the issue: While navigating using the Google Maps navigation feature, I like to choose the "dim screen between turns" option to save battery. The problem is that when a...

    Help Auto Brightness Disabled in KitKat?

    My wife received her Moto X (Verizon) the other day. I was showing her how to use some settings, and when I came to Display/Brightness, I saw auto brightness could not be checked. Brightness could only be selected manually. The phone was delivered with KitKat. Curious, I went to the Verizon...

    Help Charging LED Slowly Pulsating

    As usual, I'm probably way over thinking this and there probably isn't a problem. Maybe the charging LED on my VZ LG G2 has been pulsating since day one and I simply haven't noticed it. For some reason, I had thought it had glowed a solid orange when charging. Maybe I'm thinking that because...

    Help Can I Disable QuickRemote Notification?

    Every time I pull down the notification bar on my VZ LG G2, I get the very large and annoying QuickRemote prompt that asks me if I want to add a remote. I'm not using this feature. I've edited the slider so the QuickRemote app does not display. I don't think this is an app that can be...

    Root [Verizon] List of Gains and Losses When Rooting LG G2

    I received my Verizon LG G2 last Friday. So far, I think it's great. The battery lasts forever. The camera seems great. Not one hiccup so far... everything is working as designed. However, I do appreciate those with some consternation about the bloatware and some of the software details...

    Root Complete Theme Uninstall Without a Backup Restoration Possible?

    I'm still trying out CM7.2, and I'm getting more familiar with it. I have a question about themes. Although I prefer a plain, dark screen for battery performance, I thought I would try downloading and installing a theme. I installed HoneyGrayscale from the market. When I then uninstalled the...

    Root Looking for Specific Gingerbread ROM for Rooted Incredible

    Hi Folks... About a year and a half ago (how time flies), the good folks on this board helped me unlock and root (with 'S' off) my original Droid Incredible. At that time, I installed the "GB OTA (4.08.605.2) plus Extras" ROM that was found at...

    How to Have and Use a Spare Phone?

    I know... probably a dumb question. My wife and I have original Droid Incredibles. Verizon is the provider. Mine is rooted and is pretty "incredible" in all aspects. My wife's is not rooted and has been a little buggy from time to time. This past weekend, our daughter gave me the old...

    Help Google Services and Maps Appear Twice in Running Apps

    When checking settings/apps/running apps, I see that Google Services and Maps show two running instances of each. I am running 4.2.1 on my nexus 7, and I don't see any performance problems with battery life or apps. Everything seems just fine. I just wonder if this is something I need to pursue...

    No Lag Until Shortyz Crossword Puzzles Installed

    I have a 16 GB N7 with all updates installed. I also have most of my space still available (I don't have music, videos, large games loaded). I had absolutely no issues until I installed Shortyz crossword puzzle app. Lag hit big time. Multiple icon presses needed to start apps, etc... the...

    Help Do "Static" Widgets Increase Battery Drain?

    I know widgets that update, sync, and access data (such as weather widgets) use some battery and that battery life could be improved by limiting their use, or by adjusting the frequency which they "update". My question is about "static" widgets... widgets that don't update, but merely change...

    Root Which Running Services Can Be Stopped?

    I'm enjoying my recently rooted Dinc very much! However, I'm a bit anal at keeping running services at a minimum to preserve battery. Don't know why I'm that way... I have chargers available all over the place! I keep Background data unchecked in "Accounts & Sync" unless I'm using the app...

    Root Go to Latest Gingerbread or Stick with Rooted 2.2?

    Yes... this might be a monumental, earth shattering decision! :eek: Do I stick with recently rooted 2.2 or go to the latest Gingerbread on my Dinc. I rooted my phone with the great instructions found here on this sticky: "How To] Root 2.3.4/downgrade and Get S-off." I now have 2.2...

    OK to delete free versions after upgrading to pay versions?

    New to smartphones. Please excuse the noob question. Example: Just bought Picsay Pro. I see the free version is still on the phone. Can I delete it, or does the Pro version utilize and build on the free one? Another example is Documents to Go. Thanks!
