    Help Keeping Screen on During Calls on Bluetooth?

    Anyone know how to prevent the screen from turning off during calls? Specifically, when I'm driving, I keep my phone in a dash mount, since I'm usually using Waze or something like that, which keeps the display on. The problem is that whenever I get a call, the phone switches over to the call...

    Help SmartThings Panel Colors

    Anyone else run into this? Like many (most?) people, I changed the default theme on my phone to a darker theme from Samsung's theme store- specifically "Material Dark", but the problem seems to be present with all themes. The issue is that until recently the SmartThings panel (the strip at the...

    Disable Camera New Stickers Notification?

    Minor annoyance, but.... For some reason, about every other day when I open the camera app, the "stickers" button in the lower right pops up the little red "N" badge as if there are new stickers available. The problem is that 1. I almost never use the sticker function and therefore don't care...

    Help No Notifications in Gmail

    Anyone ever have GMail notifications randomly stop? Mine have been fine ever since I got my phone last summer, but in the last couple days I've stopped getting any sort of notifications from gmail. I've verified that notifications are turned on, and a handful of other ideas I'd found in other...

    Replacement Call Screen?

    This might sound stupid, but do the Samsung answer and in-call screens drive anyone else nuts? For a device with such a big screen (S8+ here), having the contact photo appear as a tiny thumbnail in the middle of the screen seems like I'm going back to the early days of Android, especially since...

    Help Notifications during calls?

    Anyone else have an issue with notifications going off during calls? My wife usually has her notifications set to vibrate while she's at work. However, if a notification comes in while she's on a call, the vibration goes off even though the phone is against her ear. Furthermore, the sound of...

    Anybody out there?

    Anyone home? My wife got a Z2 Play the other day after her previous Z Play took a nasty tumble in a parking lot and was deemed not repairable, so I figured I'd keep an eye on the forum for her. Much to my surprise, it looks like I'm the only one here!

    [Rant] Design Refresh Nightmare!

    I know no one here can actually do anything, but I really needed a place to rant for a minute... I've probably 5 or 6 different Motorola Android phones over the years, dating back to my original Motorola Droid. In addition, I've gotten most of my less-technical family to stick with Motorola...

    Turbo Charging

    Warning- this may be a stupid question. When using the charger that comes with the T2, the toast message that pops up when you unplug it says something like "Turbo Charged to 90%". So the question is "What exactly is Turbo Charging?" Specifically, is it something unique, or is it just the...

    Accessories Case up or run naked?

    I know they claim these are shatterproof, but that doesn't mean that a drop won't scratch up the screen or body. So are you guys going to use a case or not? If so, which one? On my last several phones, I've gone with basic TPU cases- they're cheap, add basic protection and don't add much bulk...

    Best Color Combinations/Show Your Turbo 2

    After stopping in the store to check one out, I've all but decided that the Turbo 2 will replace my aging Droid Maxx, but I'm torn when it comes to the Moto Maker options. What kind of setup is everyone going with for colors and backplate material? And are you going with a case (and if so, what...

    Help Factory Reset Havoc!

    My phone has been acting kind of strange lately- some apps running slowly, the camera taking 2-3 minutes to come up after I do the "camera shake" from my home screen, wifi tethering wouldn't turn on, etc. So I decided to go ahead and do a factory reset to clean things up. The weird thing is...

    Conditional Lock Screen

    Has anyone had any luck setting up their Maxx to only use a lock screen when away from home? Basically, my goal is to specify a list of network SSIDs that I regularly use (home, work, etc) and have the phone bypass/disable the PIN lock when connected to one of those networks. Any other time...

    Help Mobile hotspot/tethering problems?

    Anyone having problems with mobile hotspot/tethering lately? I have a tiered plan, so it should be included, and I've used it before (though I am definitely not a frequent tetherer), but when I turned it on this morning to try to update my Kindle, I got nothing. When I clicked the box to start...

    Car Bluetooth Adapter Recommendations?

    It looks like someone may have stolen my bluetooth audio adapter out of my car (which is weird, since they left my GPS and sunglasses which were right there), so I'm in the market for a new one. Anyone have any suggestions? Previously, I had a GoGroove Smart Mini BT which worked really well...

    Help Network Disconnect Issues?

    So here's an issue that's been popping up for the last couple weeks. Anyone else run into anything like this? Background: My Nexus 7 is rooted, but running the stock rom. My home router is dual-band, so I have networks on both 2.4GHz & 5GHz. They have separate SSIDs, but the Nexus has...

    Unlink Google+

    This is a little weird, but does anyone know if there is a way to set the "owner" (or "Me" contact) of the phone as anything other than the Google+ account? On my Galaxy Nexus, I could set the default profile (and avatar that shows in the first quick settings box) to anything. However, on the...

    Car Headrest Mounts?

    Has anyone found a decent mount for attaching a Nexus 7 to a car's headrest yet? I've checked Google and Amazon and come up with a variety of universal mounting brackets, but the reviews seem to vary pretty wildly, and the vast majority seem to be pretty poorly received. I'd like to mount the...

    App to create .url files?

    Anyone know of an app that can create standard Windows Internet Shortcut (.url) files? My thinking was that this would be a relatively easy way to get urls from my phone to one or more of my computers, simply by createing the .url file in a specific folder on my phone and letting DropSync upload...

    Help Data Connection Issues

    I've got a weird issue- anyone run into anything like this before? I live in a 4G area, but I work in a 3G and since I have wi-fi at home, I usually just leave the phone in CDMA mode. When I get home, I flip wi-fi on and all is well. However, when I leave for work in the morning and turn wi-fi...
