    I show up here every five years or so to ask y'all what I should do next... I'm baaaack

    Plot twist... After two weeks of camera no worky, today it was spontaneously healed? changed its mind? overheard that I was contemplating putting it to pasture? This makes zero sense but will allow me to kick the can down the road for now. Thanks to your input, I'm leaning toward another...

    I show up here every five years or so to ask y'all what I should do next... I'm baaaack

    This is an excellent question. I had assumed that with a Pixel one would be stuck in the ecosystem completely, so if that's not the case, the 6a might fit the bill. It's a year old but will receive updates for five years, says Google, I realize that I may have to stretch my budget. At first I...

    I show up here every five years or so to ask y'all what I should do next... I'm baaaack

    Hi all, and as before, thanks for your indulgence. My Moto G7 has been a great phone for me for 3.5 years. Today the camera is making a buzzzz and refusing to focus. The 'civilian level' fixes have not worked, and due to the construction of this phone (the screen has to come off) the repair is...

    Help Moto g7 battery life suddenly worse

    Hi all, thanks in advance for the help. After five years with my Droid Turbo, it was flaky enough that I decided to get a new phone. My g7 is fine, does what I need, and at first I was getting two days out of the battery with my normal usage. All of a sudden, about a month ago, I couldn't get...

    Can a battery charge TOO slowly?

    Hello all. Recent refugee from a Galaxy S3 here, and new slave to a Droid Turbo. So far so good, almost... took me two days to figure out how to answer the dang phone but I think I have that solved. I need to dig in to some stuff, but I have a very basic question meanwhile: Can a battery...

    Help My phone does not like my workplace. Or vice versa.

    Hello all. I am one of those leeches who show up here whenever they have a question or crisis and then vanish without adding anything positive or useful to general discussion. I have a crisis. Here I am. Feel free to ignore, or help, or help while berating me for being a leech. My Galaxy S3...

    Help battery heat?

    Seems like the Inc gives off a fair amount of heat when I'm using it. Def warm to the touch, right through the case. Should I be concerned? Makes me wonder if the case is a bad idea since it is trapping heat... any insight would be great. Thanks.

    Apologies in advance for being new and dumb. Scenario: Phone: HTC Incredible still ten days from my hands. Microittybitty SD card: came in today's mail. Computer OS: Vista Music: On iTunes. Downloaded: doubleTwist My general media skills: Sucky. Ok, here goes. So I have this fear that I...

    New, but I'll try not to be a complete idiot.

    Hello, everybody. I'm totally new to the whole smartphone thing, but I'm pretty good at the internets so I've got "Search" figured out. I'll try to use it instead of creating new dumb threads for stuff that's been discussed a zillion times. I've been doing some lurking around this site and...
