    Help Remove duplicate device from Google account

    I searched & found old threads, I'm just wondering if there's any new info. that would let me delete duplicate devices from my account. I used to use a Pixel 2, then bought a 3a. Then I had to have the 3a replaced, so I switched back to the 2 for a bit. Then I switched to the new 3a, and had...

    Great phone if you're not a klutz (like me)

    I was planning on getting the 4 when it came out, then due to the cost & no fingerprint sensor, I read up on the 3A (thanks to a mention by Mackey69 in another thread) & decided that would be a better upgrade for me so I picked one up for just 249 at tmobile during "Magenta days" or whatever...

    Pixel 2 not reading new texts

    I don't use this particular functionality often but on my old Pixel XL, sometimes when driving I'd use "OK Google" to send a text or read a new incoming text out loud. I've had my Pixel 2 since a few months after launch - recently I've had a few occasions while driving when a text would come in...

    T-Mobile 55+ plan

    Have you guys seen the T-Mobile plan for 55+? I'm not quite old enough, but it's a "for life" plan - $60/mo total for two lines with taxes and fees included (after $5 per line AutoPay discount). https://www.t-mobile.com/offers/t-mobile-one-unlimited-55 One of the few times in my life I wish I...

    Phone misbehaving bigly

    I've had my Nexus 5X since April 2016, it's worked flawlessly until today. I looked at facebook this morning before work & sent a few texts, no problems. I'm on Google Fi, also on the Google beta program and got either a beta or the standard monthly Google update the middle of last week. This...

    Help OK Google acknowledgement tone

    I have a Nexus 5X running Nougat. I only use the "OK Google" voice controls periodically, and yesterday may have been the first time since upgrading to Nougat a few weeks ago. Now, when I say "OK Google" - I'm not getting the acknowledgement "ding" so I know she's listening. There used to be...

    Help Google Now won't read text messages any more

    Last week I decided to see if I could get a male voice on my phone, for when Google talks back to you. So I downloaded the UK files within Google Now & selected a male voice, which didn't work (it stayed female, no matter what) - so I uninstalled the UK voice file & switched back to the US...

    Pixelated videos

    I don't watch a lot of videos on my phone, but just recently I've watched a few & they're very pixelated. One was a short video I received by text, & just this morning I watched 2 short videos on Facebook, & all are so pixelated they look terrible. These are all 30 seconds or less. I've used...

    Sprint to Fi speed bump

    This past Saturday - days after porting my number from Sprint to ProjectFi - I got a bunch of surprise texts from various stores, my credit card company, pharmacy, etc., saying I'd unsubscribed from their texts. This was news to me! Today I found the answer...

    What phone would you recommend?

    I've been on sprint for years (current phone is LG G3) & recently I bought a Samsung Galaxy S7 from T-Mobile so I could try out their network. The network seems better, the phone is nice enough (although it bugs me that I can't set it up the same way without a new launcher, but I can live with...

    Service

    How's the service with t-mobile? I'm thinking of leaving Sprint & going to t-mobile but I don't know if their service is really any better? It's always so hard to tell from the coverage maps & other websites. And how is their customer service? This weekend I stopped into a store & was...

    Talk About What Movies You've Seen Lately

    Recently I saw two movies at the theater - Sisters, and Daddy's Home. Both are comedies, I thought they were both pretty funny. Sisters: Two sisters decide to throw one last house party before their parents sell their family home. Amy Poehler & Tina Fey are the sisters, with James Brolin &...

    ES File Explorer: Delete Files on Uninstall

    Slightly off topic question. I remember someone mentioned, a few months ago, that either ES File Explorer or X-plore had a setting or some functionality where, when you removed an app from your phone, it would sometimes ask if you wanted it to delete any extraneous files. I reset my phone a...

    Textra & MMS error

    I have an LG G3 on Sprint, & I've been using Textra on this phone since I bought the phone in February, with no issues at all. Last week I did a factory reset on my phone because it's been acting a little weird sometimes (nothing to do with Textra or texts) - and since then, I keep getting an...

    Tasker questions

    I've used Llama for years because it was so easy to use, but since there are some problems with how it works now & the dev seems like he's abandoned it, I'm trying Tasker again. It seems a bit more user friendly now than when I first tried it years ago. I have fairly simple needs; I've...
