I tried this phone through the Samsung Trial Program, and the experience was terrible. The battery life sucks, and the phone runs hot. I had read in several forums that this was an issue, but had to see for myself, and it is true. Trying a Note 5 next, but for now will use my trusty iPhone. :)

I have a 2013 Developer Edition Moto X with 5.1 installed. My screenshots function isn't working. Any ideas?

I'm sure that this has been discussed many times, but I am getting conflicting reads since the 4.4.2 update. I have a chance to get a good deal on a Moto X Verizon Dev Edition. I am on the AT&T network, but I figure that if I sell it later, that it will be easier to sell since it works on VZW...

Okay, I am coming back to Android from an iPhone 5. Getting a Maxx HD, and I do have a question. When I do a video on the iPhone, and send it by MMS, it compresses the video and sends it on. Every Android phone that I have owned (which is several) will say "this file is too large". What's up...

I am coming back to a S3 from iPhone. One problem that I have had with previous Androids (Razr, Razr HD, Razr Maxx, S3) is sending pics and videos as MMS. I have tried the stock app, GoSMS, Handcent SMS, and Chomp SMS, all with the same result. If I take a picture, or shoot a 5-second video, and...

I have never had any problems with my 32GB micro SD card, but now when I put it in the computer and try to drag files to it, it displays a message that the disk is write-protected and to please remove the write-protection. What is the problem, and how do I fix it? I have tried 2 adaptors with...

f I get a Maxx with the ICS leak on it, and want to go back to stock, how is that done? Supposedly, it has not been rooted.

I have noticed that when I am charging my wi-fi Xoom at night that the screen flashes a "glow" about every 5 seconds. What is this, and is it normal. BTW, it can only be seen in a dark room.

Just bought a used Bionic. VZW sent me a new sim card. When I boot it up, the images shown is what pops up. I have never seen this before on any phone. If I hit "search" to continue, it goes to welcome screen. Then when I touch Android to begin, it says to insert sim card, which is already...

Is there a way to make the screen where messages are read to have a dark theme (white text on black background)? I would like to use the stock app, as it has a much smaller footprint.

Is there any way to get rid of that annoying end-of-call beep?

Is there a way to put GO Contacts widget on Sense on my Rezound? I don't like the Sense one, as the GO has an "action bar" so I can choose call, text, e-mail, etc. The sense one forces you to pick a default. Any suggestions?

Did the GB update, and now Wireless-N is gone! Only have b/g. What's going on?

Using live.com e-mail address on stock mail app, and has been working fine. For the last three days, I am getting a message of "unable to send e-mail" because account settings are incorrect I receive e-mails just fine, but can't send them. Talked to Sprint tech support, and they are having the...
