    Fossil Gen5 - only need time and track steps (maybe sleep). What must I have turned on?

    Hi, I have a Fossil Gen 5 watch (Carlye). I only care about the Time and counting my Steps. I want this data tracked in Google Fit. Trying to get max battery time too. So I am turning off everything that is not needed. If I only want Steps (not workouts) just walking about doing normal day...

    How do you know if you get a text msg on silent

    I am looking into buying the new Moto G5 Plus and didn't see any kind of LED notification light on it. I was reading the G4 plus does not have one either. At work I lay my phone on my desk on vibrate, if I don't hear the vibrate I can still see the little LED light pulsate to know I got a text...

    Help QuickMemo+ ?

    I did an export of the items I have saved in QuickMemo+, but I cannot find it. Is QuickMemo+ an LG app? I'm thinking it is so wanted to export it so I could save the data (text) into some other app if I ever get an non-LG phone. Any ideas? Thanks

    No MM Doze on Boost version, but...

    It appears the MM "Doze" feature was excluded from the Boost version of Marshmallow. However, I found this app via the "Drippler" app that does the same thing and you don't have to be rooted. Actually, it doesn't wait 30 minutes like the real Doze does to do it's thing...

    Boost streaming usage?

    On Boost Mobile, streaming music through certain apps is not suppose to count towards data usage. Does anyone know when you check data usage on your phone for current cycle, does the music streaming data usage add to that number (and they somehow subtract that portion when deciding to throttle...

    Weird thing since updating to marshmallow...

    Boost version. Since my update, often in the morning when I tap an icon on my home screen, nothing happens. I can rapid-fire the icon - any icon and phone just sits there. It is not locked up, but also won't start an app. I have a PowerClean widget to "boost", memory cleaner, and it will do...

    On Boost version. Yesterday I changed the way lock screen "disolves" into the home screen when you swipe it to "soda" effect. I would think this setting would be on the Lock Screen settings menu, but I cannot find it anywhere on my phone. It is like it disappeared. Anyone know steps to pull it...

    Help Marshmallow does and does not recognize SD card space

    I updated Boost version to android 6.0 from their push. I have a 32GB SanDisk SD card. Looking in "Storage" the phone recognizes that only "3.52 GB used of 29.71 GB". Hooking phone to PC via USB cable Windows also recognizes the same results. I was able to move a couple small apps to SD...

    Boost version of Marshmallow a jank version?

    Just updated last night. Boost version is missing some of the features of 6.0 that I have read about! The app drawer is supposed to scroll vertically - mine still horizontal. I'm guessing this is because Boost hi-jacks the launcher with their "Home" launcher? Would Google Now launcher make...

    Help Battery life has really dropped - only 1 month old?!?

    I got my phone near the end of June. A charge was lasting almost 2 days. About a week ago while traveling and using GPS/Data/Navigation I let it drain to below 15%. Now it seems to be draining about twice the rate before that. Does draining the battery below %15 percent do something to it...

    Help Auto Data on/off apps?

    This is on a NON-rooted phone. On KitKat, I used an app that turns on the 3G/4G data for 1 minute and then shuts it off for 15 minutes (cycle). It seems with every Android update they feel the need to remove some functionality (I suppose as a penalty for the new stuff they add - no good deed...

    Anyone know where the QuickMemo+ stores the memos you type in when you 'sync'? It's in the cloud somewhere. I had memos (like sweeper bag type etc.) typed in the "Memo" app that came on my LG Volt phone - and on Virgin Mobile as my carrier. To my surprise, after I hand typed them all back in...
