    For the life of me I cannot figure out how to use the usb cable supplied with my nexus 6p to transfer data between pc and phone. I have found where the usb in default mode is used to charge the phone only. I cannot find how to change the default mode to allow data transfer. Can someone please give me a step by step guide to accomplish this. Thank you. (Oh this is my first android phone so don’t laugh.)

    Hi All, Since upgrading to Marshmallow, I now no longer have the option of “Ask Every Time” with my VoIP setup.
    I only have “For all calls when data network is available”, or “Only for internet calls”.
    I want the original option of “Ask each time”.
    Does anyone have any idea what’s up? Phone is an HTC one M8.
    Thanks for your help.

    I have a Nexus 5 running Android 6.0.1.

    This seems so simple. I just want to be able to see the current temp on my lockscreen, without unlocking it.

    I’ve tried half a dozen weather apps, but they all do the same thing. There’s a notification on the lockscreen that shows the temperature, but only since the lockscreen activated. If I haven’t unlocked the phone in 8 hours, the temp it displays will be 8 hours old.

    Meanwhile, as I sit here on my PC with my phone hooked up with a USB cable, every 30 minutes or so, a notification of the current temp from the Google App comes across my desktop through Mighty Text.

    Googling it, I’ve found 3000 articles on how to make the screen do a barrel roll, but nothing on this.

    It’s driving me nuts.

    Can you help?

    I have the Motorola Mot G 3rd generation, recently upgraded to Marshmallow. Now, whenever I am walking down the street, my phone beeps fairly often. Reason, Android 6 keeps telling me that there is another WiFi network to which I can connect. I DON’T CARE and I DON’T WANT THE BEEPS!!!

    Tried going into Settings->WiFi->(3-dots)->Advanced->Network Notification. Changed it to OFF. Still beeps.

    Do you have any other ideas? When will they fix this bug?

Also found GPS functionality gone (worked fine under Lollipop). Found (at least partial) work-around for the PC connection issue while waiting for microSD card reader adapter. Haven’t tried the Google USB reader app yet (but will). Have no idea how to regain GPS function.So HELP!

    I have an LG G3 that updated to Marshmallow and I’m having a few issues with it, any help would be very much appreciated!

    1- I don’t have the vertical ‘app drawer’, its still the slide left and right 20 apps/page style and there’s no uninstall option for apps
    2- I can’t move apps around on my home pages, when I hold an apps icon I only get the options to replace or remove it (Also is there no longer any way to group more than one app into a folder?)
    3- I used to have my calendar and quick memo (widgets) on my home screen so I could see what I was doing that day at a glance; is this feature no longer available?
    4- can you remove the accuweather app or at least take it off the home page; it’s almost always wrong for my area.

    And last, not a problem but is there a way to hide the phone contact page? I find it incredibly annoying!

    Has anyone else had problems with their Moto g (2nd gen) micro sd cards after upgrading to Android Marshmallow? I’ve had the message about not recognising the card, re-formatted it as advised as set it as ‘internal storage’ then it seems to disappear. It now says there’s no sd card loaded and the available internal storage is back to the phone’s original 8gb, ignoring the 32gb on my SanDisk??

    So I tried to update and it looked like it updated but the screen keeps flashing on and off. I cannot access any apps because none of them appear on my screen. I can turn my phone off and I have even tried taking the battery out and putting it back in. Nothing changes it still flashes on and off. I tried to see if I could uninstall it and reinstall it through Kies but I couldn’t do that either. I can hear that I am still receiving updates and texts because my phone still vibrates and then rings with the notification. I am incredibly frustrated and would appreciate anyone’s help to navigate through this

    Ever since my Motorola G extra (2nd generation) upgraded to marshmallow, my phone has been malfunctioning big time. One problem is that it intermittently does not recognize the microwave SD card. I formatted it to be internal storage and moved many of my apps there. Once in a while I can actually open those apps, but most of the time I cannot because of the problem I just mentioned. Often the phone will simply restart itself on its own, especially when I am trying to use an app on the micro SD card. I absolutely hate marshmallow because of this and the fact that my audio and speakers no longer work correctly for making phone calls. Has anyone found a permanent solution? My phone is now a useless money pit!

    Samsung Galaxy S6 edge+ update marshmallow 6.0.1

    as far as I can tell, the update is pretty good with some cool new features… but, I want this to go away:

    “Apps Edge

    Access your most frequently used apps quickly via the edge screen.

    Swipe the edge screen left or right to view other panels.”

    this is a pretty simple concept, I really don’t want to have the directions on my screen forever~ I’ve dug through the settings and can’t find a way to take it off… any suggestions would be appreciated ~:)

    I formatted my SD Card (under Android 6.0) to be used as Internal Storage and it didn’t work. Then I tried to “Migrate Data” from the “actual internal storage” to the SD Card (which was supposed to be used as internal storage now – but it NOT) and it F–ked up my phone… had to do a factory RESET and then once again (after the reset) I tried to format my SD Card as internal storage and ONCE AGAIN it did NOT work… Grrrrrrrrr…………. So now (just like before) my internal storage (only 5Gb) is FULL and I am unable to transfer data to my SD Card which has been formatted (for the 2nd time) to be used as Internal Storage… oh and my SD Card is a 32 Gb one… How can I fix this issue?

    Hi, I have had my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 since last year and have updated to the latest android update 6.0.1. I used to be able to simply connect it to my PC and could transfer/delete files. Since the update my PC doesn’t recognise my Note 5 as a media device on Windows although my Note 5 is in MTP mode and I no longer have the option to USB debug.

    Basically the option of USB debugging is unavailable, my device is in MTP mode but still doesn’t recognise on my PC and my Note 5 doesn’t show any notifications for transferring files just for charging. Anybody know how to fix this so I can simply connect my Note 5 to my PC via USB to back up and transfer/delete files as I please?

    Hi All,
    Now that they removed Moto Assist, I am frustrated, LOL
    I used it for things such as: setting up certain locations my phone would recognize so it would always be unlocked, or always silenced at these locations.
    With Marshmallow, Motorola decided to take away these features as they would be duplicated with Marshmallow….however I can’t find anywhere how to set up these kind of things….
    Can anyone help?

    I’m using lenovo A7000 and recently updated marshmallow and chosen 32GB SD card as internal memory. It was worked as internal memory perfectly quite some time, all of sudden I got message that SD corrupted and doesn’t show data stored in the card, it shows zero files, I lost all media files!! However USB storage option in settings SD card shows 6.5GB used out of 28GB. Since it’s treated as internal memory I’m not able to read the card as drive in other devices/computer. I have important media files and documents in SD card and I didn’t backup them. I’m bit worried!!! How to recover the data from SD card. I assume if SD card changed back to portable, it will format and lose data!!! Please support

    Good day Group,

    I have a Galaxy S5 (SM-G900W8) with firmware 6.01 on Bell Networks (Canada)

    I have been getting the notification that I was running out of space – but I had a lexar 64 Gig SDXC card installed.

    I did not recall seeing an option to switch my Card to internal when it when from version 5 to version 6.

    I removed the SD card – copied all the files to my PC then formated the card so it would appear as a blank card to the phone.

    I reinstalled the card in the phone and on power up still did not get the option to add it as internal memory.

    When I check the storage (from settings) I show Internal 13.87 Gb used of 16 GB, and external 7.50 Mb used of 59.62 Gb

    I use a lot of apps and would prefer to set at least 1/2 of the SD card for internal so I stop getting the running out of space message.

    From what I have read previously I should be able to do this, but not sure how. If necessary, I would allocate all of the SD to internal

    If you could point me to the correct procedure, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Excellent typer. Learned in High School on old manual Royal. I have not tried an update for Hangouts. So far I’ve gotten a few threw using Messanger. So often in Hangouts, I would tap something and call one of my contacts–even that is crazy, should be some way to save it then go to another one to save without going to Home, Contacts and entering everything again, Then home, Contacts, info….over and over. I had a Flip and have to manually add the contacts. Any step by step procedure that you could share until I get use to how or any advise from this site.

    I cannot update my system version, it is. because my system settings was not offering a ‘system update version’. I have a OTA software update application. But, when I am looking for the new update, it says, “software is up-to-date”.

    I am stock on my Jelly Bean smartphone. And cannot afford buying a new one. Please help. And, refer me for more info about fixing my missing system update button. Help and Reply please. Thanks…

    I have a galaxy s6. I have been unable to update for months. It repeatedly tells me network unavailable. I have always been able to screenshot by holding down the home button, but for the past two weeks it hasn’t worked. Any hints or tips?

    After I downloaded the marshmallow update on my HTC desire 626 my phone locked on an activation screen. It’s says an update to your DDR application is available. During this download and installation, you may not be able to place or receive a call. You may need to sign in to your account after installation. Any ideas on how to get past this or how to delete the activation launcher?

    In earlier days i used a micro sd card as internal storage on a marshmallow phone and then without formatting or ejecting i removed the card from the phone and sell the phone. So the problem is now is i’m unable to use the microsd card enywhere else, it doesn’t even show anything. Is there any possible ways to reuse that micro sd card again in some other mobile.

    I have a Moto g4 which I can easily pair up with my parrot ck3100 in the car; I can see all my contacts however I can’t get phone audio. The handset won’t allow me to tick the phone audio box in the Bluetooth settings for the Parrot unit. The parrot worked perfectly well with my old windows phone

    After updating my Moto G 2nd generation, I could no longer access the data on the SD-card. Now I understand I have to choose between two options for SD-card usage.
    But I don’t want to format the SD-card and in that way loosing the data on the card! how can I safe the pictures and the (paid) apps that are stored on the SD-card? There are a lot of apps on the card, because the phone does not have a lot of storagespace
    Thank you google/android for not warning me about this.
    Thank you for your reply

    I just bought an LG (model LGLS450) refurb phone from TextNow.com when I subscribed to their cell phone service. In setting>general tab>About phone, it says if is running Android 6.0.1 although a tech at TextNow.com told me it is running Android 5.0.1. I went online and found an LG user guide for model LGK3_Al-AS110 which the tech told me is the regular version which should be the same I need for my refurb phone. I printed and put the guide in a 3-ring binder. I am not sure if I am running 6.0.1 or 5.0.1. My screens don’t exactly match up with the guide. I did a search for an Guide for Android 6.0.1. and found lots of guides but none from GOOGLE which created ANDROID. After looking as several others, i deemed this one from gagetguideonline.com to be the better of the ones I have found so far. Here is my issue:
    All of the guides and references to Android 6.0.1 “assume” that the reader is already a user of an earlier version of Android. That is NOT helpful I need a guide that assumes the user is NOT familiar with or an expert user of an earlier version. I need a guide that assumes that I am a BEGINNER with Android. Secondly, the LG guide does not have an INDEX. It has a very good CONTENTS, but an INDEX would be much more helpful. My recommendation would be for you to develop each of your guides with the assumption that the user is a BEGINNER. Your guide could include notes or special fonts to show the differences or improvements. Just my two cents.

    My carrier has wifi calling which is turned on, and as I understand you must have root permissions to activate it. I tried to set it up but when I turn wifi calling on escape out and go back it is still off. I have a moto g3 with marshmallow. From all I can find out you must have root permissions before you can turn it on. If this is correct, How do I get root permissions?
