    AT&T Canceled my order...... due to "system issue"

    Looks like I won't be getting my GS7 Edge as early as anyone else. I received an email today telling me that due to an unexpected system error, my order was canceled. This is not the first time I've heard this happen through AT&T but nevertheless it is frustrating. I have to start the whole...

    Just around the corner now...

    The Galaxy S 7 is just around the corner now and there are so many leaks that it's hard to figure out what's true. I am inclined to believe that Samsung is behind a lot of these leaks. I mean, has it ever occurred to anyone that every time there is a real photo leak (not a render), with...

    Help Has 6.0 bricked anyone's Nexus 7?

    Well, the OTA Marshmellow update went well and everything was actually working fine for a few days until all of a sudden, the screen showed the words "Google" on a black screen and from that point on it has basically been bricked. The word stays there forever. I hold the power button down and...

    Help AT&T Note 4 Replacement?

    I don't know, but ever since the stagefright patch, my phone has been acting up with random reboots and after factory refreshing it twice, it still seems very sluggish and still prone to a random reboot. Also, I just noticed that if I shut the phone down while plugged into the charger - the...

    Gear VR for Galaxy S6/S6edge

    Anyone planning on getting this one? I believe it's out either this week or perhaps it started shipping a few days ago. After reading and watching a lot of the reviews for the Note 4 version, I feel compelled to try it given the relatively reasonable price. That being said, I am mostly...

    I don't think the screen is gimmicky.

    Everyone's heard the comment about the curved screen being more of a "gimmick" than anything. After having it for about a week now - I don't feel it being gimmicky at all. While it's true that it doesn't add much more in terms of functionality (so far, just the edge notifications/clock and the...

    Would really like to get rid of the volume warning notification!

    Is there any way to do this without rooting? I'm guessing not since I was only able to do this by rooting and installing a new rom with my old phone - but maybe I missed something and you can do it in one of the settings? It's so annoying.

    Zagg Auto-Fit Keyboard

    Has anyone else picked up one of these? http://www.zagg.com/keyboard-cases/auto-fit (The link doesn't seem to bring you there, but if you go under Mobile Keyboards, it's the first item on the right column on the menu that pops up.) I saw it at Best Buy and decided to pick it up on a whim...

    I just wanted to mention, for those who are members, that Costco (in the US) is currently selling a pack of 3 $20 Google Play credit cards ($60 total) for $53.99. Just in time for the holiday season.. or for yourself. :)

    PowerAmp and album art...

    Does anyone else use PowerAmp on the Note 2? The large album art that appears when you play a track is absolutely clear and gorgeous on my Note 1 and also on my GS3...... but on the Note 2, the same album art does not look that clear - and in fact, lines in the art look very jagged. It's not...

    Updating Apps in Google Play Stalls

    I tried searching the forums but apparently no one else is experiencing this? Frequently (not all the time but the majority of the time), when I have a number of apps to update in the Google Play store, the store seems to stall after updating one or two apps after I click on the Update xx...

    Charging can't keep up with Navigation Use

    Has anyone else had this issue when using the Galaxy Note for navigation over a long trip? I find that even with the Note plugged into the charger, the battery is still draining. It's like as if the charging can't keep up with the power demands of the Note (probably from combination of display...

    Help Contact Pictures from Facebook missing in 3rd party apps/widgets

    Is anyone using Go SMS Pro or Handcent, or really any other app or widget that is supposed to display your contact pictures? I notice that I can never get any of those apps or widgets to display the contact pictures that my contacts list pulled from Facebook. If I look in my contacts list, I...

    Software Update?

    I got an AT&T text message this afternoon telling me that there is a critical update that would "enhance performance" on my HTC Vivid and I needed to be on WiFi to upgrade. Now, I already have the ICS update, so I wonder if this is a bug update or if my phone is acting up and showing me an old...

    Prospective S3 owner has some questions..

    I am about to pull the trigger on pre-ordering a S3.. I have a question - I read that the S3 has a multicolor notification light. Is that true? I'm also wondering about the physical button and how durable that is. Also, has anyone used a launcher over TouchWiz yet on the S3? I am wondering...

    Wall Street Journal mobile app

    Has anyone else tried the WSJ Mobile app on the Note? The front page of any of the sections is excruciatingly slow and laggy to scroll and selecting a story takes a bit of time. Once the story is open, however, the scrolling of the story is fine. I'm wondering if I've installed something else...

    Has anyone been able to update to ICS via wifi in the last 24 hours?

    I suspect that the "server unavailable" message is an issue with their server and not due to congestion. The Vivid wasn't THAT popular of a phone and even before ATT announced it to all owners via text message (just got mine tonight), the server unavailable message was already prevalent. But...

    Does the Note come with a 4G SIM card?

    I am receiving a Note tomorrow (free with no contract - yay!) and I wanted to replace my old BlackBerry. I know I will need a new SIM card for the LTE so I couldn't use my existing BlackBerry SIM, and I also know that the data plan will need to change from the BlackBerry plan to a 4G LTE plan...

    Having trouble getting around the 16GB of RAM...

    I don't mind the non-removable battery too much nor do I mind the LTE/dual-core tradeoff. However, I'm having a hard time with the 16GB of onboard storage as opposed to the 32GB in the international versions. Anyone know why this was limited in the U.S. to just 16GB? I do store a lot of music...

    I guess I know what my next phone will be.

    I haven't had the Vivid for just a few months. I'm such a phone junkie... :) If it's supposed to come out in Q2, I bet it won't reach ATT until late Fall at best.

    Picked it up today...

    Well after thinking it through between the Skyrocket and Vivid - I went with the Vivid because I do like the Sense interface better (even though I will probably end up using Go Launcher which makes that moot anyway). I picked it up at Best Buy for $99 with a new contract renewal. No cases or...

    Question: Front facing camera - self portrait..

    I just realized that when taking a self-portrait with the front facing camera, that everything is reversed - like I'm looking at a mirror. Is there a way to correct that that I missed? Or is my camera fubar'd? Thanks!

    FINALLY - Some HOLIDAY News...

    Engadget posted some HTC Holiday sighting and news - and judging by the "4G" in the notification bar (and also Engadget's text) - it does looks like an LTE device. I like.... :) Might be called Waikiki. I really don't need a screen larger than 4.3in, but I think I will make room for the...

    Help App sizes in Droid Charge

    I noticed that on my Charge, the app sizes that show up in the Application info (where I move apps to SD, etc.) are grossly off. The sizes are a lot smaller than they should be and many apps show up as 0.00B - but I know that's not true since I can see the right sizes on my Inspire 4G and when...

    Help Anyone else have trouble syncing with Facebook?

    I noticed that when I am under Accounts & Sync in Settings, I am unable to sync tonight with the Facebook account under "Integrated contacts account". I am able to sync with the Facebook that is listed further down on that page, which presumably is the Facebook app for Android. The problem is...
