I have my Edge charging at night via a wireless charger. When the charging is complete, I get an audible alert along with the screen coming out of the sleep mode for several seconds. This cycle repeats numerous times during the night as the trickle charge kicks in if it senses a small drop in...

This has been reported on other forums and I've experienced it myself. Even when set to manual brightness, the Edge is still tied to Auto brightness as the result of a software glitch. It seems almost all Edge phones have this problem. I first noticed it when my Note 4 seemed much brighter than...

This really applies to any unlocked phone that supports HD audio and doesn't necessarily apply only to the Z3. It is a bit of a concern for me buying a phone that's not actually sold by the carrier. With HD audio just around the corner for many areas, whether or not the HD audio in the Z3 gets...

Both my friend and I have the same issue with the S5 and I'm on AT&T and he's on Verizon. The phone rings, you swipe the screen to answer, and more often than not the first, second or, sometimes, even third swipe doesn't do it. He told me this morning, he missed 2 calls just trying to...

One of my motivations for moving from LG G2 to the Xperia Z2, is for 4K video. But in watching the different 4K clips posted on YouTube from the Mobile Congress, there appears to be a significant microphone issue. It sounds as if there are no lows or mid-frequencies. The sound is very squashed...

So here's a weird one for those of you that use Bluetooth in your car with your car's on-screen display showing you the phone's signal strength & battery level. I'm finding that the data shown on the car's screen is not updating. So if I start the car and the car pairs with my G2, it will show...

When in driving mode, I've noticed the S4 will say "new message from COMMA Larry". It uses the word 'comma' before the name? What's up with that? Is this some odd setting I'm not aware of or is it just a bug?

I can't get the G2 to announce the name of a contact calling me. It reads the number, but doesn't say the name. Any ideas? On another note relative to this, don't try changing the voice type from LG to Google under Voice Notifications. What will happen is when someone calls you, rather than...

I got an S4 on Verizon last week. Everything is great with the phone except I get static in the audio while recording many, but not all videos. This can occur in quiet environments as well as more noisy areas. I hear no static in any other mode (calls etc.) other than recording video. Even...

I'm on Long Island and experience a general data outage on both my S3 and my wife's IPhone. Anyone else?

I noticed that when enabling weather information on the lock screen, the weather data doesn't refresh. Even unlocking the phone, going in to the app that's apparently feeding the info (Accuweather) and refreshing it, doesn't bring about a 'refresh' of the lock screen data. I don't see any...

It seems that the incoming sound on phone calls is slightly digitized relative to my GNex. It doesn't sound quite as natural to me. I actually haven't heard it on the other end, but it just doesn't sound quite as clear as some of my previous phones. Anyone else experiencing that?

Has anyone had issues with S-Voice not always vocalizing responses? Sometimes it responds vocally and other times I only get the written response. This can occur within the same session. I can't figure out what would be causing that. Thanks for any help.

I've got the LTE 7.7 and I'm having an odd issue. The 7.7 does not seem to reconcile the email with that of my computer or my Galaxy Nexus. If I delete an email on my computer, that email will not show up on my Nexus, but will remain on my 7.7. In fact the only way to delete these emails is...

Does the unit that's currently being sold in the U.S. by a few importers, have 4G capability on AT&T. I know it has 3G, but one importer said it can also do 4G which I don't see in the spec (other than the not yet released LTE version).
