My daughter has an S3 on Virgin Mobile USA. At one time she had (I think) 5 home screens set up. Over the past month or so, they have been slowly disappearing without her removing them, and as of today, she has only one remaining. Because the charging port is bad, she has an extra battery which...

I recently bought a Virgin Mobile variant 816 off eBay as a possible fixer-upper for a family member. If you hold the phone in landscape mode, everything works fine. Vertically, the phone doesn't allow any menu choices to be clicked. If I press on, say, a choice in Settings, the screen text...

I've got a (Sprint Prepaid, stock and non-rooted) Volt that's been activated on RingPlus since Christmas, bring used by my 14 year old daughter. It had been working fine up until the last week of August, when it suddenly began having periods of lost signal - no bars and red X over them. The...

Exactly. I was going to respond sooner, but it was so cold, my cell phone signal froze solid and I had to wait for the sled dogs to come with a WiFi hotspot

Pretty much as the title says - I'm not getting notifications for some new texts received. No sound, vibration, or alert in the notification bar. I only notice the texts are there when I open my texting to send a new message. It probably happens 15-20% of the time, with no pattern that I can...

I'm looking for a case for my daughter's Awe, and somewhat frustrated that many cases on Amazon don't actually (according to reviews) fit the phone, but rather one of ZTE's similar models. It would be great if anyone who has found a case that fits could post a link, to help verify which cases...

I'm having one of those mornings where I can't find an answer that I know MUST be right in front of my face. Virgin Mobile has directed me through email to hard reset my phone using the buttons, but their directions lead me to a warning about installing a custom OS (maybe another time....)...

This is my husband's phone. He's had it since Black Friday. In general he's not a big smart phone user, but needs good battery life, which the Rise used to deliver. Lately, though, his battery has drained very quickly, and the much-despised Connections Optimizer appears to be to blame. Even...

While getting ready to activate a replacement Elite for my daughter, I discovered she didn't have a micro SD card installed. All her pictures are saved to internal memory. I did put in a card, but not seeing a way to transfer all her pictures. Anyone have suggestions for a quick and easy...

3 or 4 times in the past few weeks, I have arrived home and discovered the !-in-a-circle in my notification bar, with a message that my phone has recovered from an abnormal reset, and would I like to notify HTC. I've tried reading through the log files it sends to see if anything jumps out at...

This may actually be more of a Virgin Mobile issue, since I've had it happen with other phones, but since I'm using an EVO V (unrooted), I'm posting here. Sometimes I receive MMS texts up to 12 hours or so after they are sent. When I get them, they are time stamped with (I assume) the time they...
