    Careful when you're out in the sun!

    I've had my s5 for about two months now. I just had to get it swapped out for a new one because I had bright blue spots showing up on my camera. When I Googled it, I saw a few others with different phones have had the issue and said it was camera sensor damage. Most of them had got it from...

    Help battery use/restart

    So. I use battery mix and track my usage like crazy. I still thing my battery dies horribly fast. Anywho, I noticed that if for whatever reason I restart my phone (usually lack of data etc.) that when I do so, it uses 10% of my battery. Eg. it will go from 56% to 46% when it comes back on...

    Help wireless hotspot

    Do I have to have the phone rooted to use the hot spot thing? I tried it out the other day 'cause I don't use the computer much and I'm thinking of getting rid of my internet. I tried to connect it, and on my computer it showed the two computers but not the little globe and it said local...

    first thoughts and wallpaper issues?

    I picked up my Evo yesterday and man do I love it!! I traded my MT in for it with the BB protection plan because it was having major software issues, especially this past week. I thought it was awesome timing for the phone to crap out because I've really been wanting the Evo! I just had to pay...

    unlock/phone options issues

    For the last two days everytime I hit the unlock key the "phone options" thing (power off, airplane mode, etc) thing comes on the screen. Yes, I know this is triggered by the same button, holding it down, however that's not what I'm doing. I've had this phone for a yearish and I've never had...

    Help locking the phone while on a call

    So my Eternity used to lock the touch screen when I was on a call so I didn't hit buttons with my face. This one doesn't seem to do that and I haven't found a setting for it.
