I've been using a plain micro USB cable, but those don't seem to stay in very well and don't charge my device as well. I've also looked on Amazon and the top search results all seem to be gray market-ish. Fake Samsung logos and reviews that say they don't work as well. Any suggestions on what...

Title says it all. Just want to make sure because it's the one Samsung bloat-app that I like.

I have had a myriad of basic operation issues with this phone (and not just this particular device, the model in general), but this really blows my mind. I'm sure most of you know that when you go into a Starbucks, you choose (or auto connect to) the free wifi, then it brings you an accept and...

Hey all, I'm temporarily on this phone for a few reasons, among them it was the cheapest I could find on Craigslist in my area on short notice. I'm not happy with it but I'll survive because really I do not absolutely NEED anything more than phone, text, email and maps. Be that as it may, I...

Can someone explain to me why the stock messaging app just gets rid of random text and picture msgs when you go back in time. I'm looking for information someone sent me in a text from two weeks ago and the further I go back, the fewer texts there are. There doesn't seem to be rhyme nor reason...

As of yesterday my SG3 no longer recognizes when I plug it into a computer to transfer files. I'm using the same USB cable I was, the one that came with the phone. What happened that I no longer get the MTP/Camera screen? I'm not rooted at this point, and unfortunately I'm using a computer I...

Since I changed my google password via the web last week, I've been getting this message in my notification shade. I updated my google password on the phone immediately, and I can't figure out what app is requesting permission. When I click the notification, it just disappears. When I pull up...

Can anyone offer some insight on this: I had Spotify premium up until last week or so, and a number of playlists were downloaded to my phone. My premium account lapsed, so I can't listen to those songs at the moment. However, if I restart my premium account, will the playlists become available...

I'm planning to buy a Gorilla Gadgets extended battery, and I want to purchase an external charger along with it. I'd prefer one that can handle the GG battery and the OEM battery, but not a strict necessity. What is necessary is keeping the price low for something usable and decent quality. I...

I just loaded the Stock ZV5 deodex ROM onto my Elite and now I can't get back into Clockworkmod recovery. Holding the down volume and power doesn't do anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I'm looking to replace my N4 because it broke. I bought it from Google and started the $30 plan on tmobile. Since I kinda don't want to drop another $30th now, can someone explain the $50/$60/$70 plans, specifically are you locked in after you pay off the phone? I know it's a month to month...

My brand new Nexus 4 (unsubsidized from Google) dropped a whole foot the other day and shattered the entire glass front, rendering it completely useless as far as I can tell. (i've seen the same sort of shattering on iphones that still work, so I don't understand why). Any suggestions on what I...

Has Tmobile ended the $30/100min/unlimited plan now that they are an "uncarrier"? I can't find it anywhere on their site and a google search for "no more $30 t mobile plan" didn't turn up anything.... I'm in a tricky situation with regards to cell phone plans (working offshore), so I was going...

Has anyone else gotten the error in the attached screenshot?

I am only allowed one device on the rig internet at work and it's pretty slow most of time I'm up. Is it possible to transfer the downloaded spotify songs on my OE to my Nexus 7 via a file manager (rooted on my phone, but not yet on the Nexus, hopefully I'll be able to while out here)
