    Also Can't Login

    Earlier today someone posted a thread entitled "cannot log in." I thought this was funny, since they had a user ID. I logged out so that I could post back with the exact steps to log in. Well they were right, there is no login link or button! There is only "Register" (in fact there are THREE...

    eSIM on Visible

    Since there is no sub-forum for the carrier, Visible, I'm posting here. My wife recently converted to Android as a long-time IOS user. It almost didn't happen though, based on her experience making the transition. This is not intended as a slam against Visible (a Verizon MVNO), it's just one of...

    First Impressions: Motorola RAZR+

    "RAZR+" is the name of the U.S. version of the phone known internationally as "RAZR 40 Ultra" - I don't know why they renamed it for this market. If you've watched any of the unboxing videos, they often show a clear case included. There was no case with mine, nor was it listed in the box...

    Solution to "Hey Google" not working after Android 13 security update

    "Hey Google" (AKA, Google Assistant) stops working after the phone is rebooted after installing the June 2023 security update. It seems the update turns off Google Assistant. To get it back it was necessary to not only toggle Assistant ON, but also retrain voice match (as though setting it up...

    Just placed my pre-order for an unlocked Motorola RAZR+

    Now the wait begins! I noticed there aren't a lot of cases available, undoubtedly because the phone has not been released yet. However, there are lots of cases available for the EU version of the phone, RAZR 40 Ultra, which is the same phone. I found a nice one on Amazon, that arrives the day...

    Got the Android 12 Update to Pixel 5 Today

    Was pushed to the phone as an OTA update. Nice improvements, and everything works pretty much as expected. There is one goof I discovered though , and I can't believe it wasn't caught in beta. That is, the Material You color theming keys off the lock screen wallpaper instead of the home screen...

    Android-Based Home Security on The Cheap

    For those in the US, this has got to be the deal of the year. Best Buy is offering a closeout price on the Verizon variant LG Optimus Exceed 2 phone for $14.99! It's not the world's best phone, but it does have a 5mp camera. Team it up with the free Alfred app and the phone or tablet you already...

    Shades of Palm Pilot!

    Just discovered, downloaded, and tried out the new (v1.1) Google Handwriting input. It's simple and works perfectly even with my lefty printing/handwriting. Also, it's selectable within apps' IME (i.e., you can select it as an alternate "keyboard"), so you are not limited to using it as a...

    Commandr - It was good while it lasted

    Sorry to report, but the latest update to the Google app (AKA, Google Now) completely broke this fine app. All voice commands previously executed by Commandr now just go to a Google search page. Developer has been notified, but since he is just a teenager, he may not have the assets to fix this...

    Popup Widget 2!

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ss.popupWidget Maybe I'm late to the party, but I just discovered this app today, and it's the greatest! It allows you to group multiple widgets into a single shortcut, and have them appear on-screen in just about any position, color, or...

    If Your Weather Widget Stopped Working, READ HERE

    I've been a long-time advocate and user of Transparent Clock & Weather, but there have been updates for the last three consecutive days that have destroyed it. Upon emailing the dev with a detailed laundry list of the issues (only 1 of the 3 weather providers works, and it is consistently 12-15...

    Anyone on-board for The Vive when it comes out?

    It looks fantastic, but I'm not so sure how they can make the claim that it won't make people nauseous (because of the 90Hz refresh rate). Heck, my stomach gets queasy just walking down stairs with reading glasses lol!

    Smart Launcher 2 question

    I like trying new launchers, and currently playing around with SL Pro 2. It's an interesting take on Android screen presentation, but I'm having one problem and wonder if it is a known issue. Swiping right from the left edge to reveal the drawer works every time, but swiping left from the right...

    Zooper Weather Issue (+ a workaround)

    Anyone that uses the Zooper Pro widget engine knows that it's a great and flexible tool. Recently though I discovered a problem with the weather forecast portion that destroyed my layout (issue probably exists with the free version of Zooper also). Here's the scenario: I had three days'...

    Sub-forum Request for Xperia C3

    I had a circumstance where the best place to move an Android Questions thread would have been to this device-specific sub-forum (had it existed). Since this looks to be a good mid-range phone, probably users would benefit by its creation. http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_c3-6488.php
