    Any pitfalls to buying from Google and using T-Mobile ?

    All of my previous cell phone experience has included buying both the phone and service through the carrier. It's time to get a new phone and plan and as usual I'm shocked by the costs, particularly because I use very few voice minutes. In any case, I'm seriously considering getting the Nexus...

    New (as in don't have one yet!) user questions

    I currently have the original Galaxy (Epic) attached to my brother and SIL's family plan. They are switching carriers, and getting iphones. (Go figure). I've been looking into individual plans and potentially a new phone since I can get approx 24% discount through employer with several...

    Any way to "kickstart" wifi?

    I periodically run into the problem of my wifi not connecting. I'll be in my house and when I turn the phone on there is no wifi indicator. If I go into settings/wifi it tells me that my home wifi is not in range. The router is 3 feet away, and my tablet sees it just fine. If I power off/on the...

    Help Deleting select text messages?

    Old dog, new tricks situation here. I've had the Epic for about 6 months now (first ever smart phone, never did text messages before). I find I'm doing more texting now that I would have thought, or more accurately receiving more that I'd have thought. I've been bad about deleting them, and...

    Help How to hide icons?

    Samsung Epic 2.2.1. I'm still pretty new to smart phones, so haven't done a lot of tinkering. The phone is not rooted (not brave enough yet!). I am using Go Launcher. I'm tired of looking at icons that I'm not going to use, and tired of having to maneuver around them. I understand that for some...

    Most direct way to force Epic to disconnect/reconnect w/ Bluetooth?

    I'm having an intermittent problem with my phone and my 2011 Hyundai Tuscon's bluetooth. About once a week, it won't connect - the car prompts me to select a phone and I do, but it fails. When I check, for some reason the phone thinks it is already connected to the car, but the car doesn't. I...

    Bluetooth in my Hyundai ?

    I've had my Epic for several months - my first ever smart phone. Last month I bought a new Hyundai Tucson with built-in Bluetooth - my first ever Bluetooth. (See a pattern here? Definitely a potential for operator error or misunderstanding ;) ) Here is my question. I have a coworker who has a...

    Help Email confuses two accounts?

    Failrly newbie here, so willing to believe this is operator error, but help! I set up my Yahoo email as an account in the builtin email app. (Found instructions online for how to do it with the free Yahoo). Worked fine. Today I had the bright idea to add my Comcast email to that app, since one...

    Accessories Can I attach a strap/leash loop?

    I'm still in the decision stage, so don't have a phone to check on yet. On my current (ie antique non-smartphone) there is a way to attach a little thread loop which is attached to a strap or leash. I just want to confirm that I can do this w/ an Epic? And would a cover fit with that in place...
