    Re: Official Android Discussion Thread


    Re: Official Android Discussion Thread

    I need a new messaging app. My friends and I live on group messaging, but I'm the only one on Android. My 4 person group text gets extremely bogged down. I assume because Android sends and receives messages as MMS. It can take my messages 5 minutes to send or receive. I was talking to someone outside of the group text at the same time and their messages arrived late as well. I have good service in my area or am on wi-fi. Any suggestions? I'm working on them getting Android phones...

      I've probably seen about six different Note 4s in person via BBY displays and I have yet to notice what I would call a "gap". Have I just been lucky? Is it just not big enough to draw attention? I suppose I could see fitting a piece of paper in there but certainly not a credit card.

      I guess we'll see. Hopefully it's not a big issue.

          I've used Hangouts, Go SMS and Textra. I ended up sticking with Textra and tend to like that the best.

            So that SD card I spent 50 bucks on? The latest update (4.4) apparently took away the ability to move files to an SD card.

              Yeah, unfortunately that's an OS-wide restriction now, for 3rd party apps. The default file manager should have been added to your apps, which will still allow file transferring.

                Not necessarily true. You can't do that on the phone. You can connect to your computer and move them from internal storage to external card. Only other way to do this on the phone is root.

                    The default file manager won't work either. I go to my music, select all, move to SD card, and when I hit "move here", it doesn't do anything.

                      Eagerly waiting the delivery of my One Plus One 64GB. I feel a dog looking out the window waiting for it's owner or something lol. The wait is unbearable.

                      I'll post some quick pics when I get the chance.

                            Ahhhh ok... You can see if you can move multiple files, instead of directories. Just throwing things out there at this point.

                              You can't do it unless you root your S5 and download an app to remove the restriction. Like i posted earlier, what you can do is plug in to a pc and move the files from the internal storage to the external sd. That's what I have to do with my G3 now since I'm about to get rid of it and i've never rooted it in the two months i've had it.

                                After browsing the Android phone lineup at the mall yesterday, I have decided that I will go with the LG G3. I probably wait til next month to pick one up, as I'm expecting some better deals as we get closer to Thanksgiving.
