    Verizon Software 19A Update

    Does anyone else have this? It got pushed to my phone yesterday and I'm really not pleased with it. Most everything seems normal but messaging has taken a serious hit. Text messages take forever to send. MMS I may as well not even try. I'm having serious problems receiving MMS, as well. I've...

    Help Smart Lock (Location) Stopped Working

    I have two Smart Lock locations saved - my home and my office. Up until just a couple days ago, both were working perfectly. Now, neither location setting works. I end up having to use fingerprint to unlock at each location. I know Smart Lock is turned on and working because when connected to my...

    SMS/MMS Trouble downloading photos?

    Anyone noticed an issue with downloading photos sent via text? It's happened to me a couple times where someone will send a photo, I get a little image icon with a rotation circle indicating that it's trying to download, and then it just won't. If I restart the phone, normally it will go through...

    3.5mm headphone jack problem?

    Is anyone else finding that headphone plugs fit very poorly into the headphone jack and become disconnected extremely easily? Most headphone plugs and jacks kind of 'snap' into place and you know they're in. Mine just kind of sit in the jack and have some wiggle room and give no tactile feedback...

    Anyone else on VZ get an update recently?

    I got a system update pushed to my phone this morning and I'm not really sure what it did. It appears that the build number is the same, the software version looks the same, the android version is the same, and nothing really seems different. What did I just get?

    Help Help! Downloaded app audio files won't delete (RESOLVED)

    Hi all. So I downloaded the language learning software Smigin a while back for a trip to Spain. It has a phrase builder in it, and as such, it downloads audio clips. Unfortunately, they show up in my Google Play Music app. I don't want that...at all. So, it looks like I have two options: - Go...

    Hangouts MMS (group text) sending slow

    As the name implies, I'm using Hangouts for all of my messaging. When I get into group text MMS situations, I've found that outgoing messages send very slowly. The message will appear in the body of the group text area, but will have 'Sending' under it for sometimes 2 or 3 minutes, then followed...

    Help Help! Phone pushed 5.0 download...what to do?

    So this morning I wake up and see that my phone had, without asking me like it had many times before, downloaded the 5.0 update and asked me to install now or later. I have vehemently put off the 5.0 update for a number of reasons, including the Verizon notification issue. Now that it's...

    Help Help! Laggy after factory reset!

    Title should be pretty self explanatory. I'm looking for some specific suggestions, but here is the backstory: Had an issue about a month and a half ago where nobody on the other end could hear me talk. As a result, had to do a factory reset. My device worked great pre-reset...no lag or...

    Help LED Light Manager not working properly

    Title kinda explains it all. I had a software issue (NOT 5.0 related...still running 4.4.2) which caused people on the other end to not be able to hear me. As a result, had to factory reset. Most everything works just as expected, but my LED light manager is not working. I've checked all my...

    Verizon - Sideload Google Wallet w/o root?

    Title pretty much explains it. I came from a GNex and sideloaded Google Wallet and made it work that way. But IIRC, it only worked because it was a Nexus device. If I sideload Google Wallet on my Verizon G3, will I be able to activate it? Not rooted and haven't intended to. Kinda scared to...

    SMS - Hangouts not displaying name...only number

    Title pretty much says it all. Using Google Hangouts, I have a number of contacts that are displaying only the phone number when I engage in text messages with them, not the name like it should. Anyone running into the same issue?

    Facebook friend photos not showing?

    Linked phone to my facebook account and have merged all my contacts but the one thing I'm noticing is my facebook friends' photos are not showing in either incoming caller ID or Hangouts SMS. Anyone have this issue and found a solution? It seems to me that the only remedy is going to be to go...
