Loving my pixel so far but I've run across a few issues I'm hoping some of you can help me with. 1. I cannot connect to my 2.4 GHz wifi. It will only connect to the 5.0 band. I've reset my modem, rebooted my phone tried everything I can think of. Anyone else experiencing this? Sometimes I'm on...

So I am a LONG time Samsung user. I've had every generation of the Note's and recently moved to the Pixel XL after returning my Note 7. The phone is great and silky smooth so far but my biggest gripe and I know this is something I could become accustomed too if I had too but I was hoping that...

I have tried sending myself numerous emails and nothing shows in my top task bar. I used to get an envelope with an @ sign to indicate an email. I don't get those. I have the boxes checked off. am I missing something else?

Why am I missing: Settings > accounts and sync ???? I had this on my note 1. But it appears to be missing here....

I am in the same boat. I have a Galaxy Note, and since this morning all my timestamps on received messages are behind by an hour. Even if I send the message to myself! I have had multiple people send me messages, and they are all wonky and off by an hour. What to do? I can't have a...

I simply connected via Kies air and edited them all manually. Slow day at work so at least I got something done. Lol Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

No, but I will once I can solidify all my contacts into one area.

So I have finally figured out how to extract contacts from an SBU file, convert it to vCard and then import them into my phone. Here is the wonky part. When I click on the contacts button, it only shows my phone having 12 contacts in my phone. BUT when I click over to "Groups" under "My...

Tried this and failed this morning. Any other tips?

So here is the million dollar question then, since my existing backup is with Kies, how can I restore my contacts at least? I assume I can't simply use nandroid and it will restore my phone, is there a patch through from kies to nandroid? Or is there a way to locate the backup file generated by...

The cable actually makes a difference? I don't have a stock cable anymore. It got bent ages ago so I've been using my hp touch pad rapid charger for months now. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
