Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

I went with the LG V10. 64GB, removable battery, memory card slot, always on display and $260.

Why was it only 260?

Isn't it like 5-600 or around there?

Great deal.

Great deal.

The newer version (V20) will be released soon. The going price for a new one is $300. LG phones don't hold their price as well as a Samsung or Apple. I rolled the dice on one listed as "mint and barely used" . I have 7 days to decide. Worst case scenario, I'll ship it back and buy new.

Still rolling with Nexus 6p. Enjoying the Android Nougat update. Probably won't upgrade until mid-late 2017. Maybe next Nexus phone. I think he 6P might be my favorite smart phone I have had.

Yeah I only just got my 6p once the new Sailpoint/Marlin rumors started and seemed to indicate smaller size and no forward-facing speakers. Pass.

Just moved to Fi when I got it too, left Verizon after 12 years.

Great price for a ridiculously good phone

I got a nice surprise yesterday from Sprint. My replacement phone for my G4 was a brand spanking new G5. This phone is fantastic.

Battery life for days, fast charging capability. Perfect for when I'm out in the field.

DANG. That can't be good, especially with the iphone 7 being unveiled.

UPDATE: My "used" V10 came in perfect condition (was missing the earbuds which I knew when I purchased). Waiting for my case to show up before switching out the G3.

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Not sure what the issue is, never had the problem until today, but using Google Messenger with Nexus 6P and now when my wife replies to a group message (same group message we have used for months) I am getting an error back to just our solo thread saying “couldn't download message, tap to download” but nothing happens. I am getting the other party in the groups messages and my wife and the other party can see mine and hers, but I can't see hers.

Any idea why? I haven’t changed any settings and like I said, this was never an issue before. I tried to clear the cache and data and nothing.

Thanks!

EDIT: Seems to be only when my wife replies to the group message. We have tried two different group messages and I get the other parties text, but when my wife replies, her says "couldn't download" and goes individually to me. But the other people in those groups are getting her messages. Thoughts?

Silly question but did you accidentally turn the data off.... I was texting my mom the other day and she turned her data off and was getting what you are describing

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

Can't get into phone after factory reset *HELP*!!!!

So I wanted to do a factory reset on my phone. I am going through set up and I get to the point where it asks for login. So I sign in with my gmail account. I get an error that says “please sign in using the owners account for this device” I google for advice and apparently if I recently changed my password (which I did yesterday) I am going to have to wait a 72 hour period before I can access my phone? I guess it’s in place for security measures against a thief? But how would I have known this? Now I have to wait up to 3 days before I can use my phone? I don’t have a backup phone. WTF!?!?!

Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

This is what i was told - Just an FYI

It should be 24 hours from the time of your password change - so hopefully you'll be able to log in within a few hours.

To avoid this in the future, be sure to initiate the factory reset option from within Android (Settings > Backup & Reset > Factory Data Reset). Since you have to authenticate to your device first (by unlocking your lockscreen), the phone knows that it is you requesting the reset and will unbind the device from your account. As you found, resetting the phone from recovery trips the Factory Reset Protection to prevent a thief from being able to easily wipe and use/sell your device.

EDIT: I am back up and going. 24 hours exactly, I was able to log back in. Whew, was a long day!
