Hello: My husband and I both have Galaxy S IIIs on the same network with the same carrier. My phone has a Mobile Data on/off Quick Access button available in the notification panel, my husband's does not. I have a total of 16 buttons available, he only has 15. Any idea how to get the Mobile...

Did anyone else get an OTA update yesterday (2/7)? I was surprised to see the message that it was ready to install, so I went ahead thinking that maybe I was getting Lollipop :) At the very least, I thought I'd get 4.4.4 (currently on 4.4.2), but I don't see any difference at all. Does anyone...

I'll admit I don't make calls via Bluetooth very often, but I do know it used to work for me. Then last week I tried to make a call and nothing. This is with a Motorola device in my car. I can answer incoming calls with the device just fine, and when I went to check my voicemail (dialing from...

I'm calling it the Bluetooth window for lack of a better description :D Anyway, whenever I enable Bluetooth, I get the following popup: I hit Cancel and it goes away, and Bluetooth seems to work, but is there any way I can keep this from popping up in the first place? None of my other...

Okay, this might be a really stupid question (but I'm going to ask it anyway:D) If I understand this correctly, if you have WiFi turned on and are within range of a known WiFi network, the phone should shut off 3G/4G and connect to the WiFi instead, correct? Or am I wrong about this? The...

My Evo has been doing something rather odd lately. When I plug it in to charge at night, I make sure to look and make sure no app is active (on the screen.) Sometimes when I unplug it in the morning, there's some random app running. It could be the web browser, Ebay, or some other thing. I've...

I have this problem with my EVO in that every now and then it will start freaking out and get hot. Something sucks the battery, as I've seen it go from 95% to 20% in a matter of minutes. The heat, by the way, isn't coming from the battery, but from the top of the phone, near the power switch...

I've only had my phone for a couple of weeks, but this is the first problem I've had. Starting yesterday, the phone has become quite warm, even hot. Oddly, the heat isn't coming from the battery area, but from where the camera lenses are. It happened some time after I sent a couple of texts...

My Evo arrived yesterday (actually, two of them) and I'm loving it already! The reason I got two is that I ordered one for $199 a couple of days before it went on sale for $149. Naturally, I'm sending the first one back (and if you think my 45 minute conversation with "Oscar" about returning...

I'm expecting my Evo to arrive on Friday. I started looking through the How To guide and it looks like there's no email client for MS Exchange? Is that correct? We use Exchange at work and I have to be able to check my email from my phone. Can anyone recommend a good (preferably free!)...

Shortly after I got my Triumph, I installed a custom ROM using the excellent directions in this thread. There were also some very good Youtube videos, but they seem to be gone now? I can't find 'em anyway. Now I'm getting the HTC Evo and want to return my Triumph to stock. Is there a...

Hi: I've got the Motorola Triumph but it's time for a change. At first I thought I wanted the Evo V because it's 4G, but I've been hearing nightmare stories about not being able to send and receive texts and calls. I understand that the situation can be improved by rooting, etc., but I'm of...

Hello: I had it in mind that I wanted the HTC Evo V4G, mostly because of its 4G-ness, but also the large screen is nice. I'm wondering, though, if it's worth the price. I've been hearing about people having trouble sending text messages with it. I do a fair amount of texting, so I need...

I use Badass Battery Monitor to keep track of my battery, and I notice that often Android System is the major battery user, even when the phone is basically idle. Is it normal for Android System to be using 95%+ of the battery?

Just noticed that Virgin Mobile is featuring the Triumph @ $229.99 through 4/09. It's still $219.99 at Amazon :rolleyes:
