    Help eSIM Setup

    So, I skipped the eSIM/Project Fi setup when I first got my phone. I have an unlocked device on Verizon. If I understand correctly, I should be able to go to Mobile Network, and there should be an option for Carriers which should show Verizon, and should then give me the ability to either...

    Help Still on September Patch

    Just checked my settings to see if I could check for the November patch and realized I am still on the September one. I get that patches are rolled out gradually, so I understand why I haven't received the November update, but why isn't my phone pulling up the October update at least? Is this...

    Power Button Alternative

    I'm hoping someone can help... I got a RhinoShield CrashGuard bumber case, and I love it. It add minimal bulk, based on reviews it should provide awesome protection for falls, and it allows the phone to be mostly naked so I still get to feel the phone's back textures, which I enjoy. Downside...

    No Feedback When Charging

    I kind of hate that the phone provides no feedback when charging: wake screen, LED, vibrate. Nothing.

    Help Weather Widget? (Resolved)

    Some online posts show a weather widget where the date appears on the home screen; however, mine shows the date and I can't figure out how to change it to weather. I'd much prefer the weather there than the date. Anyone know how to tweak that? Thanks!

    Help HD Voice, VoLTE, WiFi Calling?

    Got my XL today and I'm loving it so far. I was able to activate WiFi Calling after a second attempt. The first time it said it didn't go through and to try again. WiFi Calling is now working just fine. I noticed that my calls aren't HD on cellular or WiFi, and I tested it with my brother...

    RhinoShield CrashGuard, anyone?

    Has anyone here owned a RhinoShield CrashGuard? I'm looking for a minimalist case but I also want to be proactive and getting something that will protect my phone. Thoughts?

    Reviews are in!

    I tend to favor The Verge for a reliable opinion. Here are two articles I found on theverge.com Google Pixel Review: Android as it should be http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/18/13304090/google-pixel-phone-review-pixel-xl and also this one, which I believe is a relevant opinion in the industry...

    No Replacement for Lost Device :(

    I just realized/learned that whether through Project Fi or the Google Store, device protection does not cover device loss. Verizon's Total Mobile Protection will replace it if lost (albeit they have a higher deductible). Now I'm like :( I've never lost a phone, so I've never needed to worry...

    Facebook Notification Count

    Is there any way to stop the Facebook app (which is currently on my home screen - don't judge lol) from displaying the notification count? I hate that. I thought I left that behind when I left BlackBerry. I can't seem to find it anywhere in the settings. Thanks for the help!

    Smart Lock

    I read earlier this week that Google was sending out an update to Lollipop that enables Trusted Places as an option for Smart Lock. I haven't seen anything? Have people started to see the update?

    Launcher

    How come the N7 doesn't have the Google Now launcher? I thought that was the pure Android way. I updated to 5.0 by flashing the factory images. What am I missing? Is anyone else wondering this, too?

    Help Hangouts Constantly Crashing

    I have Hangouts set to manage both my "Hangouts" conversations and my SMS. Lately, the Hangouts app crashes for no apparent reason. When this happens, I need to just relax and wait a while before attempting to open the app again, because if I open it right away, it just closes again. Is this...

    Help Browsing and Talking

    I got a system message today, while on a call, that I couldn't browse the web while on the phone or something like that. (I wanted to Google something) I that that with 4G, that wasn't an issue anymore. Am I missing something?

    Moto X or Droid Turbo

    Read a couple of this on The Verge today, one that the Moto X might show up in stores on Friday. I hope I can order a custom one on that day as well. Also, there has been a leak that may be the Droid Turbo. From what I read, it's expected to best the Moto X in terms of screen rez...

    Wood vs Leather

    Anyone who has felt both or folks who own either, can you share pros and cons of either material. I need to decide so when Verizon gets over the iPhone and finally makes the X available, I can order it right away - customized of course.

    Help Bluetooth MAP support

    Does the Moto X not support MAP for Bluetooth? I just paired the phone to my car and the phone and audio work fine, but messages won't sync. Anyone know what I can do to resolve this?

    Help Tablet Idle: Major battery drain

    I've noticed that my N7 will last on average a day after being fully charged and sitting with WiFi off. The battery usage shows "tablet idle" as using 80% of the battery with a time on of: 1d 9h 56s. I literally took it off the charger yesterday morning, packed it (WiFi off) went on a day...

    Hotspot App

    Hello Friends! Here's the deal, I have a 6GB Edge Max plan. Per Verizon, this plan does not include hotspot. My device is not rooted, and I don't want to root it. Is there an app (free or paid) that I can get that will allow me to enable hotspot on my phone even if it's not rooted and I...

    Spotlight Stories

    So what's the deal with this? Got the first part of the install a few days ago, and all I got was a widget that takes me to an "about" type screen. I thought more was supposed to happen on 10/29 (today) but nothing. So, what's the deal? I'm curious.
