Ideally, I would want the edges of the screen protector to be tucked under the case. In my case, the edges barely reach that far, and so the case keeps pushing against them, causing them to separate from the screen and dust to accumulate. I've already damaged my expensive Zigg protector and...

I needed to use Google Maps yesterday, and the GPS icon kept blinking and the phone couldn't find my location on the map for about 15 minutes, so I gave up. An hour later, I turned it on and it found me almost instantly, although not very accurately, but good enough. This morning, the same...

I bought my Evo 4G on EBay. I've had it for a month and everything is working great. But I noticed the screen corner near the home button seems to be separated from the phone body; all other corners are solidly in place. I can push it in if I press slightly and it even makes a slight sound, but...

It seems to be hit or miss. It's especially annoying when I need to use Google Maps, and GPS is working great, but I can't search for an address because I have no connection (it just searches forever and returns no results). My wife's Evo works great and returns the results instantly at the same...

Switched to Sprint and sold the Captivate. Interesting story: I wanted the LG Optimus S, but they didn't have it at the store. The guy gave me a used Samsung Transform (800 MHz) with 2.1 Android just until the Optimus becomes available. The Samsung phone is laggy as hell, and its GPS is...

I just got my Optimus S and it's completely naked. Am I crazy? Is the screen plastic or glass anyway?

Anyone know why when I push the button to take a picture, it waits a second or two before taking it? I mean good luck taking a picture of a baby or a pet with this camera. Never had this problem with any other phone, including the CRAPtivate.

When you slide the lock initially to unlock the phone, you get haptic feedback. Is there any way to disable that?

Transform: I hate the physical keyboard. I hate how laggy it is. It's 2.1 instead of Froyo. The Optimus S is better on all three counts. So why might I choose the Transform? The SAR value (specific absorption rate) for the Transform at head level is 0.75. The value for the Optimus S is...

I need to use my Captivate on T-Mobile. I know it won't get a 3G signal. How do I do it?

One of the lag issues I've had with this phone happens right on the home screen, while trying to unlock, and even when trying to answer a call, etc. It always stuttered. I wasn't even using a live wallpaper, just a static picture I downloaded. But I recently switched my wallpaper to some...

I hate soft keys. They're hard to see. It's hard to know whether I pressed them. I often press them accidentally. They add absolutely nothing to the phone. In short, soft keys suck.

So I pull the phone out of my pocket, I hit the "phone" icon. And I can hear the damn crickets. Nothing for a few seconds. Then the phone appears. And it's a bit laggy. I push a number and it hesitates, and so on. I understand this is a robust operating system, and it's often busy doing...

Doing an experiment here: I took the phone out of its glove. It's much less bulky like this and fits much better in my pocket. The soft keys are also more accessible. The phone looks better without it as well. That said, I'm keeping the screen protector on. It adds no bulk and is invisible. I...

Didn't do anything different. All of a sudden it stopped working. It sees it and connects to it, but can't browse the web or update from other apps, etc. Rebooted phone and told it to "forget" my connection and reset it. Nothing helped. Other computers in the house connect fine.
