Looking to replace my S3 with a new phone. I want something that is current and at least as good in ALL aspects, especially the camera and screen, for about a $450 budget. Any solid recommendations, especially from first hand experience?

Which antivirus app works the best with the S3, especially one that doesn't really drain the battery? I've never used one on my phone, but I'm thinking about trying Avast since it's free and works well on my old desktop PC.

I finally got to see a Nexus 5 today at the T-Mobile store. However, neither the sales guy or me could figure out how come pictures show up with black bars on each side (like a 4:3 display), and don't display full screen. Is this the way the N5 is, or is there some way to change this or has this...

I keep getting notification for an update available for "UberSocial For Twitter", and I don't want it. I get this notification a few times a week. I don't even know what app on my V this is for, and since I don't use Twitter, I'm not interested in the update at all. How can I stop getting this...

Is there any way to see when a received text message was actually sent, hopefully the day and/or time? Sometimes I'll receive a message from someone right after I turn my phone on for the day, but I can't readily tell if they sent it the day before or the current day. The message just shows...

Is there anyway to record sounds with the OV, either some program already on the OV or maybe an app from the Market? I have a sporadic problem with my truck's heater fan, and I want to record the sound it makes so I can have the service department listen to it, just in case it doesn't actually...

What are some good sounding earbuds that work well with the Optimus V for music?

Is there some way to save a picture that is received in a text message? My niece sent me some pictures of her new baby, and I'd like to save them on my phone, both for my own viewing and also so I can send them out to other people. I've tried, but can't figure out how to save the pictures...

:( I've just noticed I'm getting some dust under my screen, mainly in the lower right corner, but some at the bottom too. Probably getting in from the switches on that side and/or from the usb port at the bottom when I put the phone in my pocket. I'm using a screen protector and a body glove...

Just installed the Cut The Rope game on my Optimus V. Seems to run great, and is pretty fun to play, though I can see a lot of time being wasted doing this ;). It's free at m.getjar.com this week. Select "Quick Download" at the bottom of the page and then use code 75206.

Just went to buy a top-up card at CallingMart, and I don't see Virgin Mobile listed on their site anymore. Anyone know what happened? Also, where's another good spot to get a cheaper top-up card right now other than from VM?

After trying it a few times, I like using the NAV app on my phone, except the voice is hard to hear if the vehicle's radio is on. Is there any way to get the NAV voice sound to play through my truck radio? Ideally, I'd like it to be like the NAV system in our Murano, where when listening to the...

I have two app shortcuts, ShopSavvy & Bookmarks, whose icons change back to the stock droid icon every now and then. I then have to drag the droid icons to the trash, and then re-create the shortcuts for those programs again, and then they show up with the actual app icon again. I'll usually...

When using the Google Navigation app on the Optimus V, how do I set (save) a destination as a "starred" location, so that it shows up in the starred locations section and can be quickly chosen at any time, just like bookmarks in a browser? I spent about 30 minutes today trying to set up my home...

If I have multiple notifications up in the notifications bar, after I pull down the bar to see them, is there some way to delete them individually one at a time, instead of all of them at once? As far as I can see, the only option I have is to "clear" all of the notifications at the same time...
