    Silicon bumper guard for Galaxy Ace

    Have searched the forum and found no posts for bumpers. Maybe people are calling them something else. I'm looking for a silicone guard that only grabs the edges of the phone, and doesn't cover the back of the phone. Here's a link to one reviewed on the XDA Developers website...

    Well I've got Moboplayer and QQplayer streaming a lot of streaming video on the net. But only on sites that the default android 'Internet' browser pops up a prompt to select which player to use. For video links on some websites I've found that sometimes I don't get that prompt, and instead...

    Prevent apps quietly draining data plans?

    In the process of figuring out why Kies wasn't finding my Ace anymore on both PC and notebook (I had USB debugging turned off), I noticed something troubling. The Ace is my 1st smartphone, and I know very little about 3G/4G voice/data connectivity. I have no 3G/4G data service, and I...

    Help Does Galaxy Ace charge from computer USB?

    Well I went ahead and ordered a Galaxy Ace S5830L from Amazon. I'll find out when it arrives, but I'm curious so I'll ask. Can the SGA be charged via the cable connection to the USB port to a notebook computer? I was thinking of getting a power adapter for it to charge it in the car. But I...

    'Authorized Samsung Dealer' issues buying online.

    I only see a couple posts on this issue in the forums here that don't go into much detail. I'm looking at buying a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830L online, but have read where Samsung will not honor a warranty unless the phone is purchased from an 'Authorized Samsung Dealer.' Prices are pretty...
