Why is the battery life so bad on this S5 as compared to my Sony Z3? This thing burns through the battery even when in standby. For example. Yesterday I was out hunting deer on a stand. My battery was at 30% and dropping fast at around 4:00, so I put the phone into Ultra Power Saving mode. I did...

Okay, so I just got me a S5 Active. First thing I have to say is, HOLY LIVING CRAB this thing is loaded with BLOATWARE! Between AT&T, Samsung and Google, they hardly left any room for me to put my apps on here. It's nuts! So my question is, how much of this crab can I get rid of and how do I...

I have had my z3 for a couple months now. Yesterday the screen dimmed down significantly and will not brighten back up no matter what I do. I have turned of "Auto Adjust" and all that. I have manually increased the screen brightness to maximum and it does not thing. The current brightness is...

I have always been a fan of Sony cameras and have owned many in my life, but when I got into smartphone, at first I went the Samsung route, starting with the S1. Later I got the S2, S2 Skyrocket, S3 and S4. Now, I have to say here that while I hated these phones because they were glitchy...

I have had the Xperia V for the last three years. It has been a much better phone then any of the three Samsung models I had before it. The GPS antenna gave out on it and I went looking for a new xperia. I landed on the Z3 and order the international model (D6603). I got it and stuck my AT&T...

I just bought a Z3 D6616 off of eBay that was listed as "Unlocked". To me unlocked means that it will work on other networks, so I did not worry that I was going to use the phone on AT&T. I got the phone today and took it down to get a NanoSim for it (my old phone used a MicroSim). The guy...

I am having a strange problem. My phone will not read my battery. My battery is fully charged, but my phone is saying it is at 0% and will turn off if I unplug the phone from the wall. I have an external wall battery charger and my wife has the same model of phone and when I put my battery in...

I am wondering if anyone has a recommendation for a stable ROM for the skyrocket? I was using the stock JB ROM but it was too bloated and sluggish, even after rooting and removing bloatware. I recently triedbout the latest kitkat CM nightly , but it was glitchy. I am now running SuperNexus for...

Okay. I rooted my i727 (JB 4.1.2). Now I want to uninstall all the bloatware. The question is, what is Bloatware. Of course, anything that comes from AT&T is, but what else? There are several apps from Samsung on my phone that look like bloatware as well, but I am not sure. Is there a...

Is there a code or something you can enter into an i727 to tell if it is unlocked (carrier unlocked)? I don't have a sims card from another carrier or know someone who does either. Thanks

I bought an i727 off ebay for my wife. It was listed as, Brand New, Unopened, Undamaged. I got it yesterday and it looks really nice and as far as I can tell it was new, but it does not work right. When I first got it, I transfered my wifes sims from her old phone to it. The phone worked...

For some reason when my phone is in standby the notification and ringtone sounds echoed or choppy. It does not do this when the phone is awake and I am using it. Any idea what is causing this?

I just uograded from an S2 and was surprised to dind that the Skyrocketvdoes not have the Google Local app. I use the heck out of this app. How can I get it back?

I am wondering if the is a rugged waterproof case for my S2 (at&t)? I have looked and looked and all I can find is these plastic bags. That is not what I want. I want something like an Otterbox for the Iphone. A rugged waterproof box that specifically design for the Skyrocket. Does such a thing...

Okay, I know this is a known issue. My problem is that I can't find a solution. After I upgraded to JB 4.1.2, I can no longer use my BT to dictate messages. For example. Let's say I want to dictate a text message instead of typing it. If I press on the little microphone on the keyboard when...

What happened to the buddies now widget? I updated to 4.1.2 last night and the first thing I noticed was all of my buddies now icons for my favorite contacts were gone from my desktop. I use these constantly, so this is important to me. Now the only option I have to put contacts on my desktop...

Specs: AT&t Galaxy S2 i777 with android 4.04. I am not sure what is causing the problem, but all of the sudden the CONTACTS app is acting up. It is showing contacts from my phone and synced google account at the same time, which results in multiple identical entries. Also, the AT&T address...

Okay. I am not totally sure what the "proper" name is to call this function, but it is the function on my S2 that translates voice to text. I don't know if it is voice command, voice talk, vlingo or something else. But in most apps when you go to type something in, there is a little...

Okay, so I bought a galaxy phone of Amazon that came loaded with Cyanogenmod and it did not work with AT&T so I flashed it with Oden with a stock rom. Now my question is, is the phone locked to AT&T now or I can I still use it on other networks?

Okay. I bought this phone off Amazon.com as an unlocked Skyrocket. I want to use it as an global phone for a trip I am taking to Australia and New Guinea. It came with a rom called CyanogenMod, version 10.1.2 -skyrocket. It seems to work fine but when I put my AT&T SIM in it it says there is...

Is there any speech to text app for the S2 out there that allows you to download the database to your phone? Google voice talk is just about useless because it requires a great data connection to work, and even then it does not work most of the time. For me trying to type on a touch screen...

I have had the S2 from at&t for over a year now. It is an okay phone I guess. It has great hardware, but like all things Android, it is hampered by all the problems with the Android OS. My current Android build is 2.3.6 (what the phone came with). I have checked many times for a software...

Bought the Galaxy S2 about three months ago (AT&T). At first I was blown away by the phones capability, but now am running into daily problems. I am not sure whether the problem is the Android operating system itself, the apps I am using or if my phone is just a lemon. I am not an intense...
