    Galaxy s4 v. iphone 6?

    I'm intrigued by these two particular phones, and may buy one of them to use for the next couple of years, till my next upgrade. (S5 and Plus are both too big for me, so not considering those). Anyone want to make an argument for or against either of these devices?

    Help Today's issue: home screen clock stutter!

    Suddenly my phone's home screen weather/clock widget is sluggish to update the time. The clock will still be on the previous time it was when I was there, and a second later wake up and go "Oops! I'm sorry, it's actually 9:22 now, not 8:59. That was the correct time when you were here last...

    I'm currently on my second new LG G2 with Verizon, and still having problems with it, battery life among them. I was thinking of going back to iphone, which I was using for several months after my ancient Android died out, and getting the iphone 6. iPhone may be woefully backwards and lame in...

    What's eating Gilbert Grape's G2?

    I'm on my second new Verizon G2, but I'm having some battery issues. It's not performing anywhere near as expected, or even as good as the one I had to send back due to other problems. For example, right now I'm at 16 hours usage, under 3 hours of screen time on, and the battery's at 16%...

    Different notification sounds for different contacts?

    Ah, so that's it. Thanks! Googled this but couldn't find anything. Is the paid version only 2.49 forever, or is that a recurring charge? What other benefits besides Facebook notifications might one get with paid version?

    Different notification sounds for different contacts?

    I'm using handcent and lightflow. Apparently Lightflow thru Handcent can't support different colors for differant contacts, so oh well. Otherwise lightflow is great. Except I don't see Facebook under my notifications choices. I've got K-9 mail there, which I also downloaded, SMS, missed calls...

    I just got an LG G2, and switched over to swiftkey. However, occasionally a little keyboard icon will appear at the top of the screen, and when it I tap it, it says something like 'choose input method - swiftkey'. But of course, I've already chosen it, and that's what I want permanently...

    Normal battery life for Verizon version?

    I've had a new G2 for a couple of days now. I've taken many of the steps to reduce battery drain recommended for smartphones, but I'm still but dismayed at my battery's performance so far. (I'm at 50% brightness, 1 minute screen time out). For example, right now I'm at 8% battery left, with a...

    So I finally got the G2

    I finally went ahead and got a G2 today. I was previously android user, but for the last few months had been using an iphone 4. I loved how everything always worked on the iphone, and the look and feels of things, how I could make the text HUGE on both my texts and emails with a simple slide of...
