I've been carefully doing some debloating on my Verizon GS4 and suddenly found today that the native email app (which I sync with Exchange) force closes when I open a calendar invitation. All other aspects of the app work fine. Standard emails open with no problem. But if the email is an...

Simple question, does a bright background use more battery than a dark background?

I had to hard reset my Galaxy Nexus today and now, for some reason, the Google Play (market) icon in the upper right corner of the App drawer is not working. Just seems to be dead. Any ideas why? FYI, I do have the "Play Store" app which will get me there, but it was always nice to have...

Help me understand this weirdness. First, several albums I've added to my SGN music library are inexplicably split into two albums. I keep looking at the file details of each song to try to figure out why ICS and/or the Music app thinks they're from different albums, but I can't solve it...

The battery life in my SGN has been fine until today. Suddenly, it is plummeting like a rock. It just went from 65% to 4% in less than an hour with no phone usage and just a couple quick web browses. WTF?

I keep hearing people mention the equalizer as a standard part of ICS but, for the life of me, I can't find it on my Nexus. :confused: A little help please?

I understand human nature and the power of criticism, but how can there be so much nitpicking about this phone. It is simply a fantastic device, miles better than my Droid X or previous iPhone 3GS. And it has the most elegant interface of any non-Apple device I've seen. Is there a quirk or...

Hey guys. Got my new baby Thursday and it's been perfect...until 30 minutes ago. I went to pick it up and it was totally dead. :( No lights, nothing. So I plugged in the charger and still no signs of life. Any ideas (other than returning it tomorrow)?

Simple question. I really want a Galaxy S II, but Verizon doesn't offer it. Will an unlocked Sprint Epic 4G work on Verizon, since they both are CDMA?

I love Handcent for texting but it really seems to bog my phone down. Anyone else experience this? I need a fix or a feature-rich alternative.

Why is there no way advance to the next most recent (or next older) email when I delete the email I'm reading (in the stock email program? The Gmail app provides this capability. It's very cumbersome to have to keep returning to the inbox and select the next email I want to read. Second...

...that there's no mobile version of this website? I'm not one to bitch, and do think its a great forum, but given that they chose to dump Tapatalk, it seems crazy that they don't find some way to make it less clunky to navigate from a smartphone. (Particularly since the whole flippin' site is...

Is anyone running this new Verizon app? I downloaded it but can't seem to get Verizon to give me credentials. I figured my Verizon account credentials would work but they won't. But every time I to get FiOS credentials I get a "time out" error in the browser. Anyone else?

I use Outlook/Exchange as my primary contact database, so I only wanted to sync my DX with Exchange for contacts. However, before I was able to get to my Google account settings on the X to tell it not to sync Google contacts - it had already synced them. Now, my contacts are a mess because of...

I know there are quite a few folks saying that it's ok to use the stock battery cover with the Verizon extended battery for Droid X, but I'd strongly suggest against it. After reading these posts, I tried using stock cover when my new extended battery arrived. My initial thought was that it...
