    I own both a Nexus 6 phone and a Nexus 7 (2013) tablet. Both backup to my google account. Yesterday I did a factory reset on the N6. It remembered the screen layouts and put everything back where it belonged when it restored all the apps after the reset. Today I did a factory reset on the...

    Help Did my marshmallow upgrade fail?

    Last night I got a notification on my N7 that an upgrade was ready. I told it to go ahead and install it expecting 6.0 to be there. The upgrade was 9.8 MB. It went through the upgrade process showing the android bot and the progress bar beneath it. Then it optimized all the apps. When the...

    Smartlock stopped working

    I've used smartlock to unlock without a PIN in my home and work locations. All of a sudden it stopped working. Now when I go to Settings -> Security -> Smart Lock -> enter PIN all I see is a blank white screen. There should be items to let me see trusted places, etc. None of that is there...

    Help New 5.1.1 update?

    Just got a notice on my N7 (2013) that it just download the 5.1.1 update. Funny thing is, it's already on 5.1.1 and has been for a while. So, what's this update really? Everything has always be OTA and I've never rooted the device. Charlie

    Ready to Upgrade - 2 year contract, edge or buy outright?

    Now that Verizon has the Nexus 6, I might consider upgrading. My wife and I are currently on a family plan - 700 minutes, pay for text. She has 2 GB and I still have unlimited. She rarely if ever uses more than 1 GB (often a lot less than 1 GB) and I use between 1 and 2 GB, sometimes less...

    My MAXX will not wake up. It was at 76% charge earlier this AM. it worked then. Right now the LED is flashing so I know it's on. Tapping the power button does nothing. I tried calling it from another phone. It did not ring and after several seconds it rolled over to voice mail. Any...

    GMail notifications back to pre-JB style?

    When I got JB on my MAXX, the notifications from GMail in the notification window had a new style. If there was one message, I could delete it right from the notification window. If there was more than one, it provided a short list of them. I just noticed today all that is gone. It just...

    Changing Icons on Lock Screen with JB

    I use Handcent rather than the stock text app, mainly due to the ability to have different notification tones for different users. Back in the ICS days one could go to the manage apps screen and disable the stock text app. Handcent also has a setting to make it the default text app. This...

    Change voicemail number in ICS?

    I knew how to do this in GB, but how can I change the voicemail number in ICS? I want to add a couple of pauses and my PIN. The selection in settings that was there in GB is not there in ICS, at least not that I've be able to find.

    Help Phone no longer knows its current location

    The clock/weather widget seems to no longer know my current location. All it says is literally "Current location". Prior to the 2.2 upgrade and even for a while after the upgrade it used to show the actual city or town I was in. I've played around with the settings under Settings -> Location...
