Uh-oh, I received my N5 on the 5th also. I noticed some warmth after wireless charging, but that's normal. I haven't experienced any overheating, even after using Trapster which shut down my N4 due to overheating the last time I used it on that device.

[Q] Not receiving text messages

I randomly just stopped receiving text messages with my rooted Droid Charge that has the latest version of gingerbread installed. Everything worked fine until Tuesday, but I just realized today messages weren't coming through that people were sending. I did a battery pull, and now it appears that texts are coming in, but the messages that I missed over the past couple of days have not come through. What happened to them? Are they lost in the ether? Are they sitting in a queue?
I can't call Verizon, because if they ask for my phone system info, they'll know I rooted. Any advice?
Just fake the information, just like all of us have had to do when calling our ISPs when asked to reboot your computer.
Well there was a data outage a day or two ago, that might have been your problem. IDK, just a guess.
I had a similar experience last week. I was on 100% stock no root. I randomly missed text the whole week. It def was not due to a rom or being rooted. As far as I know I have been receiving all my text this week. I'm slowly getting flashbacks of my old fascinate

How would I know the current build, kernel, OS, etc? Does anyone have the stock Charge info?

I did a battery pull and that fixed the problem for about 15 hours. Now I'm not receiving texts again. Could this be caused by a ROM or a particular app? This just randomly started occurring out of the blue.

Are you missing any calls at all? I would suggest trying a new SIM card.
I was having trouble getting texts a few months ago. It was a problem on Verizon's end. When you call them, you'll have to get to at least level 2 tech support before they can be any help. I'm not sure what they did, but the next day I was getting all the texts again. The ones that you didn't get are gone though.

[Q] Camera opens when calls and texts are received

My girlfriend has an SIII from verizon. She is complaining about the camera opening occasionally when she receives texts and calls. I have witnessed it and can't for the life of me figure out why. The camera also opens about 2 seconds after getting a call in the car dock preventing her from answering the call. I've been rooting phones for 5 years now but she doesn't want me to root hers for whatever reason. If anyone can give me an idea of where to look for a setting that would cause this please let me know. Thanks.

Shouldn't be happening. What firmware is she on?

Random Hangups/Dropped Calls on Nexus 4 4.4.2 and now on Nexus 5 4.4.2! HELP!

I was getting random hangups and dropped calls on the Nexus 4 4.4.2. I thought that it was the phone, so I switched to the Nexus 5 but I started getting random hangups again. The phone just hangs up in the middle of a conversation! I'm wondering whether it is:
a) a problem with the Nexus phones in general
b) a problem with Android 4.4.2
c) a problem with the Fido/Rogers network/frequency in my area.
Ideas anyone? I don't think these problems happened when on Jellybean on the Nexus 4.
I also have a jittery bluetooth streaming that disconnects and reconnects constantly, but that is another issue I guess...
This happens to me every so often, but I always thought it was me hanging up on people. I have high cheek bones & if I laugh or whatever, I assumed I was hanging up on people...?

sounds like an issue with your mobile carrier if you're seeing it on two different phones

If you are not using LTE, try to use 3G only mode from settings. I had the same issue and so far its solved
I think it is related to proximity sensor. I face this issue a lot and I only have 3G.

I would agree, if it's occurring on different devices, it sounds like a carrier issue. Wouldn't be a bad idea to consult your wireless carrier for a new microsim for your device since it's the only factor that carried over between the two devices. Should be free I would assume.

From what I can see, this is a common problem on 4.4.2 and/or the Nexus 4 and 5:

Upon reflection, I realize that the dropped calls began with 4.4-4.4.2 on the Nexus 4 and then also on the Nexus 5. I installed a new LTE micro-sim on the Nexus 5 but the dropped calls persisted.
My guess is that it's not the carrier because I was not getting dropped calls on 4.3 on the Nexus 4. It's the software or the phones themselves.

Perhaps- but for reasons explained above, this is a problem with the software and/or the phones. This can't be a carrier-related issue because I was not getting it on 4.3.

I an using the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, both with KitKat 4.4.2, with no dropped calls.
The radio baseband was changed in 4.4.2.

Bluetooth disconnecting?

I have an android wear watch. G watch R. Never had any issues with it. Since getting S6 the phone will occasionally disconnect for a short while and the reconnect. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing Bluetooth issues?

Actually, both the wifi and bluetooth is bugged and keep scanning nearly all times and battery draining quick. I guess some may also experienced wifi and bluetooth disconnection because of this.
My Pebble loses its pairing to my S6 occasionally. Very annoying. Hopefully its fixed in the next firmware update for the S6.
Had the same issue since I got the phone early April.
I was really loving my G Watch R until the S6 has totally ruined the experience. Worked perfectly with my HTC M8.
I know there's a minor update coming v soon which supposedly fixes the messed up RAM management issue. Hopefully it'll fix this incredibly poor Bluetooth issue too. I'm actually surprised a flagship phone got through quality control without them noticing bluetooth and ram management are so badly screwed up.
If they don't fix it, then I'll be even more annoyed if it's true that LG won't enable the wifi on the watch.
Just got the G925FXXU1AOE3 update om my GSM S6 Edge (SM-G925F).
One of the things listed was an improvement in connectivity with accessories so I'm hoping this will be resolved now! So far so good.

Didn't fix sh** on my watch. The first few hours was a false dawn. I have the phone on a desk next to my laptop and within 10cm of my watch and it keeps randomly disconnecting and reconnecting.
Sometimes the phone just will not reconnect and the only way I can reconnect is by turning bluetooth off and back on.
Totally ruined my experience of my watch. Feel like just taking it off now as it's become useless, hoping the latest Android Wear update whenever it comes for the G Watch R may fix the issue but that's wishful thinking as I'm convinced it's a Samsung issue as I had zero issues on my M8.
I use my S6 and my Gear S all the time, never have any issues.
My Tmobile S6 has started doing this again. It did it about a month ago so I did a factory reset which cured it, until yesterday. Now its started again, seemingly out of the blue. Nothing has changed for anything, yet its doing it again. Anyone find a real cure for this? On 5.1.1.
My AT&T S6 still has this issue, any know how to resolve this issue???
I use a moto360 (1st gen). Same issue. Only solution that works for me is a reboot of the phone. The disconnects happen on all my devices, so my car (2015 mercedes) and heartrate monitor (Scosche) have disconnects as well. Therefore this has to be a problem with the S6 itself. Maybe it's not very happy with a 24x7 connection with the watch, as this issue seems to only/mostly affect Android Wear users.
I wish there was an autoreboot app that could reboot the phone every night.

Note 8 battery life

Hi all.....I have an AT&T Note 8 and the other day it did the software update (3BRB2) for the Feb security update.Since then, my battery won't even get me through the day with light use!
I am a heavy user for my job, and have always been able to get thru the day with no problem. Now I am lucky when I get to the afternoon!
Has anyone else who recently did the security update had this issue?
Thanks
I did search but found nothing directly related to this particular update..........LOL.
Hmm. Haven't noticed but I will keep an eye on it. I am also a heavy user for work so I will notice immediately. Today I worked from home so its been hooked up to a charger all day.

Me too on AT&T February update, me too with Note 8 but I don't see any battery loss o faster discharge. Try to reboot or restart your Note if that doesn't work then Factory Reset but that's is the last option you know that's work time after factory to configure as it's was. No matter what but every time I Factory Reset my formers phones configuration again is a fact, the back up and in a zip everything is back don't work for me.
