    Galaxy s4 v. iphone 6?

    I'm intrigued by these two particular phones, and may buy one of them to use for the next couple of years, till my next upgrade. (S5 and Plus are both too big for me, so not considering those). Anyone want to make an argument for or against either of these devices?

    Help Today's issue: home screen clock stutter!

    Suddenly my phone's home screen weather/clock widget is sluggish to update the time. The clock will still be on the previous time it was when I was there, and a second later wake up and go "Oops! I'm sorry, it's actually 9:22 now, not 8:59. That was the correct time when you were here last...

    Should I get a Galaxy 4? Some Q's

    I'm currently on my second new LG G2 with Verizon, and still having problems with it, battery life among them. I was thinking of going back to iphone, which I was using for several months after my ancient Android died out, and getting the iphone 6. iPhone may be woefully backwards and lame in...

    What's eating Gilbert Grape's G2?

    I'm on my second new Verizon G2, but I'm having some battery issues. It's not performing anywhere near as expected, or even as good as the one I had to send back due to other problems. For example, right now I'm at 16 hours usage, under 3 hours of screen time on, and the battery's at 16%...

    Different notification sounds for different contacts?

    Ah, so that's it. Thanks! Googled this but couldn't find anything. Is the paid version only 2.49 forever, or is that a recurring charge? What other benefits besides Facebook notifications might one get with paid version?

    Different notification sounds for different contacts?

    I'm using handcent and lightflow. Apparently Lightflow thru Handcent can't support different colors for differant contacts, so oh well. Otherwise lightflow is great. Except I don't see Facebook under my notifications choices. I've got K-9 mail there, which I also downloaded, SMS, missed calls...

    battery 100% to 85% overnight?

    I'm loving a lot of things about this G2 I've had for a week, but it's really fighting me on various fronts. I feel like I'm battling with a huge fish I've got on the line and am strugglingly epicallly to reel him in. Here's the latest: On at least two nights of experiments, I've noticed my...

    Please help me solve 2 mysteries?

    Hi folks, on day 9 of my new LG G2 with Verizon, after using iphone 4 for a several months before that, and an LG Lucid for 2 years previous to that. There's a lot to love about this new phone!

    Help Keyboard icon keeps showing up. Why?

    I just got an LG G2, and switched over to swiftkey. However, occasionally a little keyboard icon will appear at the top of the screen, and when it I tap it, it says something like 'choose input method - swiftkey'. But of course, I've already chosen it, and that's what I want permanently...

    Normal battery life for Verizon version?

    I've had a new G2 for a couple of days now. I've taken many of the steps to reduce battery drain recommended for smartphones, but I'm still but dismayed at my battery's performance so far. (I'm at 50% brightness, 1 minute screen time out). For example, right now I'm at 8% battery left, with a...

    So I finally got the G2

    I finally went ahead and got a G2 today. I was previously android user, but for the last few months had been using an iphone 4. I loved how everything always worked on the iphone, and the look and feels of things, how I could make the text HUGE on both my texts and emails with a simple slide of...

    G2 or iphone 6?

    Would any of you G2 users switch to iphone 6 if your contract was up and the price was the same? If so, why? If not, why not?

    G2 users -- would you get it again?

    So I think I'm FINALLY going to upgrade now that iPhone 6 has come out and I've gotten a chance to see it, and it's looking like a fight between LG G2 and iphone 6. (Don't want the Plus or the G3 because they're too big.) You folks happy with the G2 after using it for a while now? Would you get...

    question about notifications

    I'm in the market for a new phone, and very much want one that has a notification light. One where I can make the light glow steadily until I clear/check the message, and that I can see from across the room or on a table as I walk past it. Is it true that that the Maxx's active display thing...

    special verizon g2/g3 section?

    Is there a special section devoted to the G2 specifically for Verizon users? I understand the phone is slightly different in perhaps some important ways, so would want to hear from other Verizon users with this phone.

    Enlighten me about quite mode

    Does it work well? And how exactly does it work? How customizable is it? How do you add names/contacts to it and or remove them? Does it allow only calls to ring, or texts too? Can you make it behave differently for different people? I.e. "allow calls and texts from John, only calls from Bill...

    Tell me about the notification light, please?

    Toying with buying this phone, but still trying to educate myself a bit more about it: I understand that this phone comes with some sort of notifications lights for message, etc.? Can someone explain how this works? I'm not sure I've had this feature on a phone before, but it sounds very...

    Getting very close to getting this phone with Verizon, but one thing I'm having trouble with while experimenting with the phone in the store, a feature which is very important to me since my aging eyes are making things harder to see: Is it possible to increase the font of the actual...

    Should I do it?

    I was about to switch to an iphone after years of suffering with android glitches and bugs, most recently with my LG Lucidvs840 with Verizon, but am tempted by the G2. But iphones are nice, and I recently switched from PC to a Mac Air and am very happy with it. Everything does what it's supposed...
