Twice since I have received the phone, an 'x' has appeared above the signal strength indicator, basically telling me that the cellular connection is not active. I have tried airplane mode and back, cellular connection off/on, etc... But nothing seems to re-activate it. In order to get the...

Styling: The Jetstream, without question, is thicker and heavier than the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Although thicker, the build quality on this device is solid. Where the GT10.1 is light and thin, and has a somewhat plastic feel, the Jetstream by comparison is very well built. It feels somewhat like the...

Hello. I have seen various posts regarding lag, etc... However, I am not sure this is a lag issue. More often than not whenever I return to my home screens from an application, the screens are blank and its almost like it has to redraw all the widgets and icons. Sometimes this can take up to 45...

I have been waiting for the Atrix to get here. Upon initial setup, I did some screen comparisons between this and my Nexus S. I am noticing the Atrix screen seems to be much less vivid in color than the Nexus. Anyone else noticing this? Or am I being too picky?

Hello, all. Picked up a new Inspire... All is going well, however, I continue to have intermittent data issues. For the most part, data works great. Sometimes, however, it doesnt kick in. If I try a few minutes later, it will be OK, but again at other times, it is either very laggy or...

I have to admit, I have been a sucker for the nice widgets of Launcher Pro Plus. I also like the transitions, multiple docks, etc... I eventually replaced Sense on my EVO with Launcher Plus and have not looked back since. However, Is Sense 2 much of a visual upgrade? Anyone have any...

Hello, all. Has anyone loaded up Quick Settings to their device and enables the hotspot feature? Does this work on the Inspire? I use this on the Galaxy Tab and it works like a charm. Let me know what your success rate is. Thanks much.

I am eligible for an early upgrade from a device that uses the smart phone unlimited. If I do an early upgrade ($200 extra, $300 total), will I be able to continue to swap my SIM between devices? I have heard that I will need a new 4G SIM for the Inspire. If that is true, will I still be able...

For those of you that have purchased the Optimus V, how are your download speeds? Using speedtest, I am getting an average of about 200-400kbps download speed. Running the test with full bars and a repeater on the roof of our building. Sometimes I hit about 800, but that is few and far...

There has been some talk regarding the Optimus V not being able to be used as a Hotspot. I use Quick Settings (Market) on my ATT Galaxy Tab and it works great enabling the Hotspot, although only 2G a month max for the $25. If Quick Settings is used with the Optimus V, does this mean that...

Although I like the flexibility of the plans on the AT&T Tab, I have 2 nagging issues. #1. Anyone been able to register theirs? Samsung.com/register does not recognize my IMEI as a valid IMEI number and will not let me register. #2. Side loading apps. I have the wonder side loading machine...

I bought the Verizon Galaxy tab yesterday at Best Buy. They had to activate it in the store before I left but they told me I could immediately cancel the data service. So I did. Then, I decided to mess around with the Tab which forced me to want to start fresh with a restore... Bad news... I...
