Why is the battery life so bad on this S5 as compared to my Sony Z3? This thing burns through the battery even when in standby. For example. Yesterday I was out hunting deer on a stand. My battery was at 30% and dropping fast at around 4:00, so I put the phone into Ultra Power Saving mode. I did...

Okay, so I just got me a S5 Active. First thing I have to say is, HOLY LIVING CRAB this thing is loaded with BLOATWARE! Between AT&T, Samsung and Google, they hardly left any room for me to put my apps on here. It's nuts! So my question is, how much of this crab can I get rid of and how do I...

I have had my z3 for a couple months now. Yesterday the screen dimmed down significantly and will not brighten back up no matter what I do. I have turned of "Auto Adjust" and all that. I have manually increased the screen brightness to maximum and it does not thing. The current brightness is...

I have always been a fan of Sony cameras and have owned many in my life, but when I got into smartphone, at first I went the Samsung route, starting with the S1. Later I got the S2, S2 Skyrocket, S3 and S4. Now, I have to say here that while I hated these phones because they were glitchy...

I have had the Xperia V for the last three years. It has been a much better phone then any of the three Samsung models I had before it. The GPS antenna gave out on it and I went looking for a new xperia. I landed on the Z3 and order the international model (D6603). I got it and stuck my AT&T...

I just bought a Z3 D6616 off of eBay that was listed as "Unlocked". To me unlocked means that it will work on other networks, so I did not worry that I was going to use the phone on AT&T. I got the phone today and took it down to get a NanoSim for it (my old phone used a MicroSim). The guy...

I am having a strange problem. My phone will not read my battery. My battery is fully charged, but my phone is saying it is at 0% and will turn off if I unplug the phone from the wall. I have an external wall battery charger and my wife has the same model of phone and when I put my battery in...

I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a stable ROM for the skyrocket? I was using the stock JB ROM but it was too bloated and sluggish, even after rooting and removing bloatware. I recently triedbout the latest kitkat CM nightly , but it was glitchy. I am now running SuperNexus for...

Okay. I rooted my i727 (JB 4.1.2). Now I want to uninstall all the bloatware. The question is, what is Bloatware. Of course, anything that comes from AT&T is, but what else? There are several apps from Samsung on my phone that look like bloatware as well, but I am not sure. Is there a...

Is there a code or something you can enter into an i727 to tell if it is unlocked (carrier unlocked)? I don't have a sims card from another carrier or know someone who does either. Thanks

I bought an i727 off ebay for my wife. It was listed as, Brand New, Unopened, Undamaged. I got it yesterday and it looks really nice and as far as I can tell it was new, but it does not work right. When I first got it, I transfered my wifes sims from her old phone to it. The phone worked...

For some reason when my phone is in standby the notification and ringtone sounds echoed or choppy. It does not do this when the phone is awake and I am using it. Any idea what is causing this?

I just uograded from an S2 and was surprised to dind that the Skyrocketvdoes not have the Google Local app. I use the heck out of this app. How can I get it back?

I am wondering if the is a rugged waterproof case for my S2 (at&t)? I have looked and looked and all I can find is these plastic bags. That is not what I want. I want something like an Otterbox for the Iphone. A rugged waterproof box that specifically design for the Skyrocket. Does such a thing...
