    Post Sprint Note 5 Voice+Data?

    I believe if you are on Spark, you lose voice and data but if on regular LTE, you still get both.

    Post Overall a step backwards compared to the Note 4? Alternatives?

    I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents here. I've been waiting to upgrade from a Note 2. I originally got my Note 2 for the screen size and battery life. I've found I don't really use the stylus for much and have been unwilling to switch to a phone that doesn't have one because about the time I...

    Thread [Q] Unable to answer phone via bluetooth controls in my vehicle

    I've noticed that in my truck, I am unable to answer my phone using the button on my steering wheel when my Moto 360 is connected to the phone. I can use the controls to make phone calls but unless I dismiss the notification on the watch, I can't answer calls. Is there some setting I need to...

    Post [Facer] TruWeather v1 Beta

    This is my favorite watchface -- well done. It would be cool if there was a way to overlay the weather effects to my own picts. I could do something like show my house with snow or rain.

    Post [Q] Wearing the Moto 360 while driving is a pain

    Would this resolve the issue of having to answer a call via the watch instead of the integrated blue tooth in my vehicle? I am unable to answer using the answer button on my steering wheel after getting my watch (3 days ago).

    I hope he has time. I just discovered that on my Note 2, if I attempt to add a new card to Google Wallet, Wallet complains that some application access is blocking access to it (probably the camera) and you are unable to add new cards until you disable Lux. I wonder if there way to work around...

    Post Anyone have tried a keyboard case for Tab Pro 8.4?

    I haven't used these specific ones but I have used them on a Viewsonic 10" tablet and various Archos tablets. The keyboards are ok, but biggest issue is the tablets never really fit in the case as well as I wanted and always tended to be a little loose. Often, I had to mod the case in order to...

    Post [Q] Will these Mini DisplayPort adapters work?

    One of the Apple FAQs I read indicated that DisplayPort will work with devices with a Thunderbolt port but not the other way around and that the wiring on Thunderbolt was bi-directional. I was hoping to get a couple of adapters instead of a bunch of cables.
