    Help Wifi and 4G on at the same time?

    Hey all: Just moved from a SGS4 to an SGS5. (Would have preferred to wait for the SGS6 but there was an incident with our clothes washer. Anyway, I digress...) When I'm on wifi, I'll notice that the wifi symbol in the taskbar is white and so is the 4G symbol. On the old SGS4, when on wifi I...

    Notification sounds changing on their own after last OTA update

    A few days after the last OTA update a few weeks ago, I noticed that I wasn't getting any notification sounds on my phone. So I went into each app (Gmail, email, texting, Hangouts, etc) and they all have been changed. All of the sounds were assigned a name/number (like "9154" or some random...

    Calendar reminders now being voice-narrated out loud??

    Starting suddenly this afternoon, my SGS4 started voice-narrating out loud my calendar reminders even while my phone is set to "vibrate" or set to "silent". I have no idea what happened, but I can't figure out how to turn it off for the life of me. Please help! This is driving me nuts.

    Help Connect S4 to computer as mass storage device?

    Is anybody NOT having issues with the JB update?

    I just updated to JB this morning. So far, everything seems to be okay. (*knocks on wood*) I'm curious what number of people are having varying levels of issues with the update. (I know the FDR will cure many ails of the update, but I'm trying to hold off on dealing with that for the moment.)

    ICS - How to turn off LTE radio?

    I used to use "LTE Switch" to turn off LTE and use 3G only before ICS, but now it seems that they took away that option. Or hid it really well. Anyone know how to turn off the LTE radio using ICS? Mucho gracias.

    What backup app(s) are you using?

    I'm still new to the tablet/TF Prime world but not new to Android... I've always used MyBackupPro on every Android phone I've ever had and that's what I'll probably go with on my Prime but I don't leave it on all the time so I'd have to backup manually (a schedule is kinda pointless if the...

    USB PC Mode?

    I think there's a way to plug the phone into my computer via USB and use the "webtop" which has a full Firefox browser but I can't get it to work. When I plug the phone into my computer (at work) and tap "PC Mode" on the phone for the USB connection, I get a message on the computer that the...

    Might be silly to ask just yet, but can we confirm anyone getting their email from VZW saying their unit has shipped yet? I'm keeping my fingers crossed to get my email tomorrow with a delivery on Thursday, but that's just being hopeful. More realistically, I'm thinking: email on Thursday...
