    Help Voice-to-text is garbage after update

    Since the last Systems updated about a week ago, my voice-to-text has been absolute garbage. It appears to be transcribing in a different language. I already triple checked that the language settings are right. No dice. Anyone???

    Google Drive Document shortcut

    Anyone else having trouble creating this? I have a shared Google Drive (GD) Document grocery list, and I used to have a shortcut to this Doc on my Homescreen -- it opened fine, I was able to view it, edit it, no problem. Now it no longer works. Anyone else having this problem?

    Poor signal in home, signal booster

    I have a VZW HTC One M9. I like it, but my wireless signal is really poor in my home in Sugar Land, TX. This is not a podunk area or anything like that. I called VZW and they sent me an in-home signal booster (that I had to pay for). The booster has been setup and is active. My call quality...

    Help T-mobile voicemail-to-text

    So I have liked and used Youmail to transcribe and email voicemails for years, but it would not work for my T-mobile N5. So I opted for the T-mobile voicemail-to-text option, not as good but an ok compromise. But now I get both -- the transcribed vm by text, and the vm notification -- which...

    Google Hangouts for texting

    So Google Hangouts is the default carrier # texting app on the Nexus 5, ok. And I also see Google Hangouts at the lower left on my Gmail window. Why then do texts received at my carrier # not show up at both locations? For me they only come to my Nexus 5, not to my GH on my Gmail window...

    Bailing from VZW. I just called my local T-mobile store, guy sounded smart. He said to get a 32GB unlocked N5 from T-mobile can be done, but it takes them two weeks to get it special ordered and delivered. I asked him why can't I just get an unlocked one from Google, and he said something...

    I'm on day 11 with my Samsung galaxy s3, overall I'm underwhelmed (if interested in why see my Gripes post). I have three days to return it to vzw, thinking about trying the DI out. Any thoughts on how it compares to the T-bolt?
