    Has anyone rooted a G5+ lately?

    I just found out pokemon go is stopping support for 32 bit phones. I believe the G5+ has 32 bit software but has the capability of using 64 bit. Any advice? I would need to root and install a 64 bit rom, I guess? thanks

    Help Pandora keeps running forever...

    Since our new car can play pandora through Bluetooth I decided to install it on my phone. I have an account from way back. So yesterday I was driving home and decided to try it. I used it for about 10 minutes and switched back to xm. This afternoon it seemed like my battery was dying too quickly...

    Help Is there a 3rd party lock screen that works well with the pixel2 and pie?

    I'm not loving the stock lock screen. I can turn notifications all on or all off. I can't seem to change apps individually to show up on the lock screen with the notifications turned off (on the lock screen) like it says I should be able to. Basically i want my battery widget reborn (which I use...

    Help Soft keys driving me crazy. help.

    I've had a phone with the soft home/back/recent buttons before but I don't remember having trouble with them. On this phone, they're driving me bonkers. For example, I like to use the camera zoom app so I can touch the screen to take a picture. But when I have the camera app open, and want to...

    I just got my pixel 2 and it came with Oreo installed. It gives me the option to upgrade to Pie but I'm not seeing many recent reviews about it. Has anyone had trouble with it? If I upgrade, is it possible to go back to Oreo if i want to?

    Help new pixel 2 - need a car charger

    Since my kids all have android devices that use the micro-usb cables, I need something that can accommodate both types. I'll probably also need extra cables (sometimes I charge in my living room and sometimes in my bedroom where the wall outlet is a pain to reach), and can I use my portable...

    Help Won't fully charge. Is it the beginning of the end?

    I've been having a lot of trouble with my S7 (less than 2 yrs old and always been extra careful with it) overheating and the battery discharging way faster than normal. I sent it to squaretrade and they claim to have replaced the battery, but it seems even worse now. I tried the reset where you...

    original pixel-still worth buying?

    I need a new phone-my s7 doesn't work right anymore and squaretrade won't honor the warranty. I can't bring myself to pay $750 for a phone so I'm thinking about the original pixel. I know the warranty only applies at authorized retailers but I can't find a list of authorized retailers anywhere...

    Pixel 2 hotspot

    I'm currently using a samsung galaxy s7 but it's starting to seriously overheat. It's still under the extended warranty but squaretrade refuses to do anything with it. They claim water damage although I have never had it near water, and it just came back from squaretrade from a previous claim...

    Help restoring my backup-what am I doing wrong here?

    I just got my S7 repaired and want to restore my backup from google. In the past, every single time I've gotten a new phone, when I sign into google it automatically reinstalls all of my apps from my last backup (which is done automatically) along with the data. This time it's doing nothing at...

    I'm looking for a simple bumper with either no back or a vented back. I swear every phone I use gets hot and it drives me batty. I've been looking at this one but it's really the only one I could find with no back...

    Help my phone keeps getting hot for no reason

    Today I had my phone on, not charging, and it started to feel hot. So I closed all recent apps, ran the device management tool (it was already at 100% for some reason), and rebooted. When it came back on the only thing I had open was the battery/temp widget and I sat there and watched as the...

    Help Problem with the last update

    Last time there was an over the air update, it didn't seem to finish. It just kept saying "applying updates" for hours on end. So I rebooted my phone and it was the same. I attempted to boot into recovery and it still said applying updates, and then it showed a sick android and the words no...
