    Turn Off OK Google but Keep Widget

    I've gone through several tutorials to try and disable OK Google voice detection on my Galaxy S9. Even with the slider(s) off in the settings, it still detects me saying OK Google. It occurred to me, maybe having the Google Widget or toolbar overrides this setting? I would like to keep the...

    Help Only 4 "quick responses" - any way to add?

    So, we only get 4 choices. 2 are downright rude/aloof: Can't talk now. What's up? I'll call you right back. I'll call you later. Can't talk now. Call me later? [Really?? May as well just tell the caller to stop calling you if that's how you respond.] Is there no way to ADD or DELETE...

    Help Turbo - which security features to turn on/off

    Hi, when I was setting up my new Turbo, I went through prompts for what seemed like 3 or 4 different services/settings from Motorola, Verizon, etc. promising to provide protection in case of theft, loss, etc. Question: Has anyone done their homework to be able to suggest which of those...

    Help S4 touchscreen erratic when texting (caused by Incipio battery case?)

    I have the Galaxy S4. I recently purchased an Incipio Offgrid battery case from an airport electronics store. I think -- like 75% sure -- that it's messing up my touchscreen, even after I take it off. After using the Offgrid for a short while, my touchscreen seems to short circuit, or...

    Help How to get back earlier Google Maps?

    I'm sure plenty of people hate the latest iteration of Google Maps/Navigation, like I do. For awhile, I could get back the old version by rolling back updates. But, since then there have been system updates on my S4 where I can only roll back so far. Is there any other way to get back the...

    Female voice for navigation changed

    My S4 came with a nice, sultry, realistic sounding voice that was easy on the ears when driving. The voice has since changed to a more crude computer-sounding female voice like some primitive 80s voice synthesis technology. What happened? Was that due to a Google Maps update, a Samsung...

    GPS works again after JellyBean update

    Got my JB update last night, and I'm thrilled that my GPS works again. For the last several months, the damn thing stopped locking and I had that big blue circle. This update fixed it. Original Razr

    FoxFi is asking for a PIN (Razr M), laptop not connecting

    I posted this in the Razr M forum since it is an issue I only noticed with that phone, but thought I might get a quicker answer in this one. My fiancee normally has no trouble connecting her laptop via WiFi to FoxFi - it works fine on the original Droid Incredible and on my full-size Razr...

    Help FoxFi is asking for a PIN on Razr M

    I have the original Droid Razr, and FoxFi works fine. We can connect the laptop via WiFi, no problem. We just bought my fiancee the new Razr M, and the laptop is asking for a PIN for some reason. Any ideas what the PIN is, or how to get around the requirement for a PIN? Thanks

    Help Searching for GPS (after ICS update?)

    I'm getting poor GPS lately, which I think started after the ICS update. I used to get fast, easy GPS lock even from inside my living room. Now sometimes it is slow to find it. Could the ICS update have anything to do with it? Could it be a hardware/warranty thing?

    Exfoliate App - Tools for Purging Facebook History?

    I was searching for tools that could go back and remove my old Facebook history up to, say, the last 3-6 months. I came across some good reviews for an app called Exfoliate, but it appears to have vanished from Google Play. Any idea what happened to Exfoliate? Any other such apps people want...

    ICS Improvement - Display Orientation

    I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but there was a huge improvement in the screen orientation on the last update. Mine used to get stuck in Portrait or Landscape and I'd have to shake it.

    How do I stop Backup Assistant Plus annoying (and poorly scripted) video from popping up every time I plug in my phone to my computer? I can't decide if it's a phone setting, computer setting, or something you have to delete from phone to stop triggering it...

    Improved 4G battery life since OTA

    Just my observation. Before the OTA update, I kept it in 3G unless plugged in for WiFi, due to battery drain issues. Since the recent OTA update, I've been leaving it in 4G more and more.

    Help Pop sound from speaker

    My Razr makes an occasional faint "pop" sound, when it should be playing a sound (like a received text message). I haven't pinpointed the circumstance(s) in which this happens. I did see someone posted a question about the same issue on another forum that I am not a member of, but no replies...
