    Why a difference in voice signal dbm reading from apps vs Android

    4G LTE icon does not display if connected to Wireless

    My 4g LTE icon not display if I am connected to WI FI. I know in a way it makes perfect sense in that if I am connected to Wi FI why would I be concerned if the 4g LTE icon displays. However, I find it curious because I bought a Samsung Galaxy III phone from Amazon 3 weeks ago for 328 USD...

    Google Authenticator - Security Reduction

    I finally got my Google Authenticator (GA) to work, but now I am wondering if this was a good idea...How is this protecting me ? If the phone never signs out of gmail then if my phone is stolen then anyone can my email, send email, etc. I do realize though that I could revoke the privileges ...

    I was disappointed to find a a few page quick start guide with my phone. No detail manual was found. However, I did find a detail manual on the Web for both VM and Sprint. Both manuals though pretty much the same are quite helpful...

    I just bought a HTC EVO 4G (previously had LG Optimus Elite) and so far have been impressed, but for the money my expectations were high.

    Placing Olympus V calls with my T-Mobile 4G Hotspot - How and Why ?

    I recently bought a Tmobile 4G Mobile Hotspot. The TMobile dude said if I have an Android phone I can route all my calls via the Tmobile 4G Mobile Hotspot. This would be great as I can move down from my 40 USD a month Virgin Mobile plan and apply the 20 in savings toward my 30 USD a month plan...
