I'm thinking of getting the Note 2 on T-Mobile for me and my fiance. I'm just inquiring about people's experience with this phone and T-Mobile. Any input pros and cons is appreciated!

Hey all, I have a question not about rooting but rather about activating. If someone were to buy a Sprint phone off eBay, Craigslist etc, and it was rooted, would they be able to activate it? The reason I ask is because I Googled it and got really mixed results. One person said they bought a...

I cracked my S3 screen last week and was quoted between $119 depending on how they judge the severity of the crack. my question: is it worth it to pay the $119+ to fix it? I like the phone and don't have insurance. I looked online and in my area Sprint S3s are going for about $225 used in good...

On the Twitter for Android app I notice that my settings to get notifications keep changing. I have to manually check for followers, mentions, etc. I went in settings and changed it to get alerts 'from anyone' instead of getting notifications only from those who follow me. Why is this always...

Hey guys, Lately when I go into active applications I notice that Google Play Music is running even though I never open it (and I have never used it to begin with). I know there have been a lot of updates with the Google stuff on here including Music but I just update it for the sake of...

On my Sprint S3 I notice if I try to go under mobile networks and choose LTE/CDMA I will not get any signal. It will restart the phone and then there's no 3G signal. I have to keep it on CDMA (which it's on now) and it works fine. What happened? I haven't messed with any of the settings.

I tried rooting with a method for Mac OSX on my S3 and all it says is "waiting". I connected the phone via USB and turned on USB debugging. I clicked on the RootMac.sh I'm on Sprint running 4.1.2. Am I missing anything? :confused:

My Swiftkey trial ran out and i dont feel like paying the $3.99 for the full version. Is there another recommendation you all suggest for a good keyboard? Im suffering without swiftkey :( i really miss the quickness of swiftkey and now i feel lost without it

My voicemails have not been popping up on time. They are showing up a day late. This is on a Sprint S3 4.1.2. Is there a different voicemail app I can use?

I'm hoping there is some solution to this problem. I have an S3 and it's not running anything but plain stock firmware and it's updated to 4.1.2 on Sprint. For the past few days I have been job searching and getting phone calls back from ads I've applied to. Unfortunately I can't get to all...

I know there are a lot of threads about batteries, battery life, etc but I was just wondering what is really the best time to plug in your charger? Some say around 20%, some say 10% etc. I heard it's bad to just let the battery fully die. Anyone have some more accurate info on this? Thank you!

I know there are tons of threads about battery but I had a particular issue come up. I'm usually satisfied with how long the battery lasts on a daily basis. Today I threw my phone on the charger at 23% and went to my laptop instead. When I returned 20-30 minutes later to check something, I...

What was your biggest reason for switching? I used to own a 4 and 4S. For me it was the screen size. Once I picked up a 4.8 inch screen the 3.5 or even 4 inch on the 5 seemed small. I also like that more apps are free. I still think the iphone is a good phone but now I can't see myself going...

I'm having trouble finding a way to root my Sprint Galaxy S3 4.1.1 using my Macbook Air. Any links? I tried looking over at XDA etc. Thanks!!

Just wondering why I am able to see Twitter and Handcent emojis on my S3 whereas before on my older Androids I couldn't. My girlfriend uses Handcent and I can see most emojis and I can also see emojis on Twitter when people try to post them thinking all Android users will see are boxes. Why is that?

Is it usual to have the battery drop to 99 or 98 percent immediately after unplugging it? I don't think I have an app that is taking up my battery. I'm averaging about 10-12 hours of use. Is that about normal? I'm running 3G on Sprint instead of LTE.

I don't know how it happened but 3 of my photos ended up in what I think is Picasa. It has the sphere shape thing on the album. I don't even use anything like Picasa. Is there a way I can get rid of the album? There's 3 photos and when there's no option to delete them even if I hit the menu...

I'd just like to hear what games, if any, have you downloaded and tried out? Which one has been your favorite?

I keep noticing that my Wi-Fi randomly turns on. I try to keep it off since I use my unlimited data. Anyone know why it keeps turning itself on?

I read online it's impossible to turn off the shutter sound on the Galaxy S3 unless you're rooted. Supposedly due to some public places like government buildings forbidding pictures to be taken. True?

Just switched to Sprint with a Galaxy S3 and noticed when I clicked on the hotspot app it said I had to set it up on my account. Then I went to the Play Store and browsed for apps there. When I tried to use them they came up as blocked by Sprint. I could download them and all but they won't...

I'm new to the Verizon Nexus. Just got it after selling my S3. So far I like Jelly Bean and I like that it's fast. Does anyone know when Google Wallet will be available and if Google Now is on this phone? Thank you.

Hey all- First of all I'm not new to Android as I currently have a Galaxy S3. I'm on contract with Verizon but haven't been pleased. My girlfriend's phone is acting up (only 2 months old and they won't replace it obviously since it's out of warranty) and service to me has been sketchy. I'm...

What kind of keyboards are people using? I know people rave about swift key but I really didn't like it...or maybe I didn't have something set up right? Just curious for some suggestions. Right now I'm using an Ice Cream Sandwich one and it's okay but I'm looking for one that's quick and...

Hey all I found an article in Mashable about how hackers are now targeting Androids that run Gingerbread. I like Ice Cream Sandwich and look forward to JB but I want to just ask in general: how long can an OS like ICS, iOS 6, JB etc go until it gets targeted by hackers? I understand that it has...
