    Thread Sent my 5x back to LG, they are replacing the board under warranty!

    My 5x worked since I bought it on the original sale date, somehow it stopped working recently. So after hearing about the class action settlement and the warranty extension, I sent in my phone. Just got notification that they are replacing the board, and returning it to me. I'll follow up if I...

    Post [ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 Weeklies for the Google Nexus 4 (mako)

    Ha, I went to check, because my only option was ADB only. But I guess the install worked, because now Apps can request root. So Thanks!

    Post [ROM][OFFICIAL] LineageOS 14.1 Weeklies for the Google Nexus 4 (mako)

    Can anyone help me install SuperSU? I tried flashing the zip from the Lineage website using TWRP (latest version). It says it installs, but when I reboot, the SuperSU app tells me that I need to update the binary and no root access. Thanks in advance!

    Actually wifi calling is a feature introduced in Marshmallow. I was able to use it day one on my N5x, but Sony removed the function for the z3c.

    Post Galaxy 6 edge good battery life

    I've been picking out apps that show up on the battery monitor. Gsam isn't much help without root, especially trying to figure out what triggers GPS. I've also hibernated everything I could with (unrooted) Greenify. (Thanks for all of the suggestions!)

    Rooting is not an option for me, and it shouldn't be a determinate of having a battery last more than 5 hours.

    Post Photos, Music, Videos on SDcard by default?

    There is a periodic check to see if your internal memory is over 75% full. When it is, you get prompted to use this Sony Utility. Unfortunately for me my picture transfer fails (even though I have my camera app set to save it to SD Card). Which is how I ended up in this thread. I'm living with...

    Post Swipe issues - anyone else?

    I'm having the issue but really noticing it while using the Flesky keyboard. It uses a left to right swipe as a space, but too often it registers extra letters instead of the space. I only realized that it works normally when in STAMINA mode after reading this thread. Looks like I'm going to...

    Post Battery drain, especially at idle

    I've been able to improve my Nexus 5 (I'm possibly in the market for a z3c) battery life by using the GSAM battery monitor. Made it easy to see which apps were really draining the battery with wakelocks, GPS, sensors, etc. Just not sure how far you can get without root, but either way, its a...

    Post [Q] Tmobile US questions

    Since the Z3 (non-compact) appears to be headed to TMO, will that ROM be able to be loaded onto the Z3 Compact to enable Wi-Fi calling? (I am assuming that the Z3 will be able to use Wi-Fi calling, since I think all smart phones sold by TMO now support it) Still keeping my fingers crossed that...

    Post Nexus 5 + Ford Sync

    When I requested directions, I couldn't get a lock on my location, so directions could never commence. (I think the Fiesta has a different Sync system where you have to call Sync and it sends via your phone the directions.)

    Post Nexus 5 + Ford Sync

    I have a 2011 Fiesta and I can confirm that the GPS works with the N5. Also I now get SMS notification on the display, but can't figure out if I can do anything else with it (read or send).

    Post battery life discussion

    Maybe you could work less if you didn't need TWO phones. Also I've never seen a phone (especially iphones, and way back to my DynaTAC) live up to the battery life listed by the manufacturer. So maybe stop complaining and let people who know a thing or two explain how to maximize battery life on...

    Post QI pillow charger on daily steals

    I had the fat boy pillow charger for my Nexus 4, and I returned it. The charge would not stay consistent, and the pillow was a bad gimmick. Qi isn't quite a standard in the sense that all products are interchangeable, its more as if its the theory of building the technology. For some reason the...

    Post Nexus 4 Insurance

    You do NOT have to buy the phone with this card, you just have to pay your entire monthly bill with the card. Coverage begins after you pay your first monthly bill with the CC. (For my claim, I have to send in both my credit card bill and my cell phone bill) There is no time limit. But you...

    Post Nexus 4 Insurance

    I have a Citi Forward Visa card, for free (no annual fee either) you get $250 of cell phone insurance ($50 deductible). I just filed a claim on my Galaxy Nexus after the screen cracked when I dropped it. Seems pretty straightforward and can't beat the price. It covers breakage & theft.

    Post If your status shows as ' pre-ordered ', you may be screwed

    FYI, I thought I might stick it to Google by switching off of Android with the uncertainty of getting my phone, so I bought the HTC 8X. While I think the build quality and the interface blows away any Android phone I have owned, the lack of apps in the Microsoft store just kills it for me. I...

    So I totally mangled my USB prong on my GN (taking the battery out to charge it is a pain!), and I want to transfer my pictures, ringtones, etc off of my phone to my PC. What's the best way to transfer this? I actually used Sweet Home to keep back-ups of my pictures, so that is fine, but there...

    Post Obtaining this phone on T-Mobile seems impossible...

    Check your math, its $199 out of pocket, and then $20/month for 20 months. Total = $599, which is MSRP. Google is subsidizing the one in the play store.

    Post Galaxy nexus for Tmobile.

    Hmmmm, I paid for it, switched to a Value Plan, and now pay $30 less a month in fees. $30 * 24 months (contract length) = $720 saved. So I basically saved money by buying my GN.
