    Thread Terrible Standby Battery Drain

    I was super busy today so I barely looked at my phone so I was expecting my battery life to be in the high 80s but when I looked at it, it was at 31%... with only 28 minutes of screen on time... By percentage the biggest drainers are Google+ (13%) - which I do not even use... -, Standby (10%)...

    Thread Any way to force desktop formatting in Chrome?

    Well now that I've got a six inch screen to browse on, I'd like to take advantage of it and disable mobile site views/force desktop view on all sites when using Chrome. Anyone know of any particular method for accomplishing that? The "Request Desktop" checkbox in Chrome itself is unreliable so I...

    Thread Charging and Boot Loop Issue

    I just got my Z2 today but I have two strange issues that often overlap. First, I can't turn it off without it initiating a boot loop all on its own. It's not rooted or anything but every time I press the power button and select "Power Off", it turns off and then about 5 seconds later the Sony...

    Thread LTE on Straight Talk

    I was wondering if anyone was using their Z2 on Straight Talk's T-Mobile network. That's what I'm using on mine (just got it today) and I can't seem to get LTE on it, only HSPA+. I've made sure to enable LTE and I've changed the APN settings to: Name: Straight Talk APN: wap.tracfone Port: 8080...

    I've got a T-Mobile HTC One that I ported over to Straight Talk today (T-Mobile sim). I've got LTE and I can make calls but I can't receive calls or texts and I can't seem to send texts either (they show as sent on my phone but the receiving party never gets them). I'd call straight talk but...

    Thread Sprint Note 3 on Straight Talk

    Pretty straightforward question but I haven't been able to find a clear cut answer from a reliable source. Since the Sprint Note 3 has a sim card slot can I get it unlocked/flash it to work on either Straight Talk or T-Mobile? I don't care if LTE doesn't work as long as 3G does.

    Thread Adjust haptic feedback?

    I like the standard keyboard that comes on Sense 5 on the One but the vibration feedback is way too soft for my tastes (especially having come form a Galaxy Nexus with really strong haptic feedback).
