My wife shattered this phone..... and the other day sent it for a swim in the potty. Remarkably, it still works (denatured alcohol bath, minus the battery, saved the day on the toilet dunk). Anyhow, the screen's digitizer still seems to work, but the glass is cracked into a fazilion pieces...

I really dislike the phone app on this phone, and I don't know if I can install a different phone app instead. If so, y'all feel free to suggest one. What drives me BATTY about this app is the number dialpad. I dread calling somewhere that has menu options "press 1 for.... 2 for...."...

My phone woke me up at 11pm tonight (i go to be WAY earlier than that!) with a system update. I think it upgraded me to 4.1.2, which is what it has now. I was running Nova Launcher Prime (I use it on all my devices, smooths out the pathetic custom interfaces/launchers on them so that...

Anyone else have random unwarranted disconnects from phone, or it suddenly won't get call/text alerts? Really frustrating lol. EDIT: See below for more information but this seems to be the solution. On my phone, this didn't happen automatically. I found it just fiddling around. I'll let...

I use the Alarm Clock Plus app, and it doesn't seem to alert the G-Shock watch. I haven't tried the phone's native alarm with the watch (I don't use it for various reasons). Does anyone know how to get the phone to recognize such alarms? I do have the watch set to chime/vibe on all...

Once in a while, I will get a "group" text from someone (usually my supervisor). If that same person sends me a direct (non-group) text after sending the group text, the direct text disappears. I can see the first few words of the text in my alert drop-down menu (the menu with the...

We just bought an Asus Memopad HD7, and it has 4.2.1. It DOES NOT have the multi-user function like other 4.2 devices I've seen. I have posted a thread about this in the Memopad section but it's a very small forum, and I need to be able to find a way to get multi-user function on this thing...

This tablet just arrived a few hours ago, we ordered it to share between my wife and our two preschool children. Unlike other Android 4.2 devices I've seen, this one has no "users" setting under "Settings:Device". Defeats the whole purpose for buying this otherwise decent tablet...

Folks, anyone else just tired of the software on this thing? The drop-down menu doesn't have a quick on/off for WiFi. They have a quick link to the WiFi settings, but not an actual on/off for WiFi. They DO have one for 4G, GPS, Bluetooth, Airplane, and silent. Not WiFi, which is the most...

I've had my phone for about a week now. I've had two troublesome issues. First, when I'm trying to send a text, it won't show me what I'm typing. If I hit "send", then it shows up (complete with unseen autocorrect muggings). The field where my text would show up when I type just stays blank...

Anyone know if I can do speed dial on this phone? I've used a number of un-activated Android phones as wi-fi/app machines, but this is the first legit Android I've used for phone calls. I can't find a way to set up speed dials. I keep several of my close family set to speed dial, and it...

I cannot figure out how to edit the lock screen. I'm used to putting a whole month calendar on my lock screens, and all I can do with my phone is change the unlock option from tap to "pattern" and whatnot. Any way to change the lockscreen widget to a calender, and perhaps remove the camera...

Does this phone have a built-in, legit barometer? Or does it use the GPS to determine location, and wireless network to retrieve data from some outside weather source? In other words, would the barometer work if I'm 30-4 miles offshore and getting no data signal whatsoever? Or if I'm riding...

Does this phone come with a way of disabling or freezing the bloatware without rooting it? I've seen some folks talk about disabling all the G'zone apps that come with it and the other bloat crap like Amazon junk. I am waiting for the numbskull methods of rooting on this phone before I...

I just ordered this phone and would like to find a hard case to put on it just for the sake of overkill. I work a VERY active job and listen to wi-fi streaming stuff all day long, and occasionally keep the phone in my shirt pocket. I have a terrible habit of dumping it on the ground. I'm NOT...
