  3. I am considering an Android One phone

    I have been reading about the Android One phones and they seem to be better (and cheaper) then the Pixel line of phones. My only question is which one do I get? I am going to set a budget of $200, and on Amazon there are quite a few that fit into that guideline. My real question is what brand(s) are more trusted (or better overall), I see Huawei, Motorola, Xiamoi, and Nokia, which would be the better one to look into buying? As I stated before, I went ahead and bought the Motorola X4, so I am going to close this topic now.

  4. I have an old phone and upon power on it wants to verify the google account (FRP)

    by jnelsoninjax

    The phone is a ZTE, and I have even wiped the data and restarted the phone, but it still asks verify your account with Google Account. This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device. The issue is that this phone was given to me and I have no idea what account was used. According to my searches this is called FRP (factory reset protection), and apparently it is possible to bypass, but also not very easily done. Does anyone have any experience with this?

  6. How to disable vertical left and right bars on Android Pie desktop?

    So I got the Android Pie update with One UI - which for the most part is great - however since installing I now have vertical bars left and right on the desktop that I can't find the setting for to disable. These bars appear to prevent swipe altogether, because to get to the next page I have to swipe above or below the bars. I use Nova Launcher, I tried the Samsung default Launcher to see if it was something implemented by Nova and they stay on the screen. It also is nothing to do with the 'Edge Touch' app that is installed with the Pie update through the Galaxy App store. I did a few Google searches and couldn't find anything relatin…

    I noticed when I did the “*#06#” it gave me both IMEI & a MEID numbers instead of one or the other. Does this mean it's compatible with both GSM & CDMA once it's unlocked? Or is that just wishful thinking? Thank you!

    Has anyone bought a phone from one of there stores? If yes, what is your opinion of it? For instance, I bought a phone from amazon, which came in a cricket box, to see if I would like it. Is there any difference in quality buying it from the store or is it the same. Brand is LG.

    I bought a phone case for my phone but I find it kind of slippery. Otherwise, it is a great case. What can I use on it from being so slippery? I dont want one of those circular things a person can hold or those things you slide your hand or fingers through. Any ideas guys? Hopefully, pretty cheap in price. thx

    Well I will be forced off Inbox end of March anyway, but now I have to put up with constant nags in the app and web about it. I just wanted a nice Inbox with bundles that I care about (Trips, Reminders, Snooze and Pinned items) as well as a nice looking layout and Gmail still does not have these things.

  22. Calendar widgets always prompt to select a calendar app when tapping an event

    by JSmooth25

    • 976 views

    I have two calendar widgets that operate like this. I emailed the developer for one of them, and he said that it was not the widget causing this issue. I've cleared defaults for all my calendar apps and set them again, and I still get prompted. Tapping the plus button or the title bar of these widgets will open my default calendar app (Google Calendar), but Android does not seem to save my calendar choice when clicking the event. Any fix for this? I have an LG V30 on Oreo.

    Can anyone recommend a weather app that has a section like the bottom bit in the screenshot? I only want one line, 1x4 as a widget but one that can update when the location services is set to "battery saving". The usual BBC Weather or Met Office need full location access. The second annoyance is Google Fit's step counter. Any way of making it square? Or another app I can use to just show me steps? Cheers
