I've been using a plain micro USB cable, but those don't seem to stay in very well and don't charge my device as well. I've also looked on Amazon and the top search results all seem to be gray market-ish. Fake Samsung logos and reviews that say they don't work as well. Any suggestions on what...

Title says it all. Just want to make sure because it's the one Samsung bloat-app that I like.

I have had a myriad of basic operation issues with this phone (and not just this particular device, the model in general), but this really blows my mind. I'm sure most of you know that when you go into a Starbucks, you choose (or auto connect to) the free wifi, then it brings you an accept and...

Hey all, I'm temporarily on this phone for a few reasons, among them it was the cheapest I could find on Craigslist in my area on short notice. I'm not happy with it but I'll survive because really I do not absolutely NEED anything more than phone, text, email and maps. Be that as it may, I...

Can someone explain to me why the stock messaging app just gets rid of random text and picture msgs when you go back in time. I'm looking for information someone sent me in a text from two weeks ago and the further I go back, the fewer texts there are. There doesn't seem to be rhyme nor reason...

As of yesterday my SG3 no longer recognizes when I plug it into a computer to transfer files. I'm using the same USB cable I was, the one that came with the phone. What happened that I no longer get the MTP/Camera screen? I'm not rooted at this point, and unfortunately I'm using a computer I...

Since I changed my google password via the web last week, I've been getting this message in my notification shade. I updated my google password on the phone immediately, and I can't figure out what app is requesting permission. When I click the notification, it just disappears. When I pull up...

Can anyone offer some insight on this: I had Spotify premium up until last week or so, and a number of playlists were downloaded to my phone. My premium account lapsed, so I can't listen to those songs at the moment. However, if I restart my premium account, will the playlists become available...

I'm planning to buy a Gorilla Gadgets extended battery, and I want to purchase an external charger along with it. I'd prefer one that can handle the GG battery and the OEM battery, but not a strict necessity. What is necessary is keeping the price low for something usable and decent quality. I...

I just loaded the Stock ZV5 deodex ROM onto my Elite and now I can't get back into Clockworkmod recovery. Holding the down volume and power doesn't do anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

I'm looking to replace my N4 because it broke. I bought it from Google and started the $30 plan on tmobile. Since I kinda don't want to drop another $30th now, can someone explain the $50/$60/$70 plans, specifically are you locked in after you pay off the phone? I know it's a month to month...

My brand new Nexus 4 (unsubsidized from Google) dropped a whole foot the other day and shattered the entire glass front, rendering it completely useless as far as I can tell. (i've seen the same sort of shattering on iphones that still work, so I don't understand why). Any suggestions on what I...

Has Tmobile ended the $30/100min/unlimited plan now that they are an "uncarrier"? I can't find it anywhere on their site and a google search for "no more $30 t mobile plan" didn't turn up anything.... I'm in a tricky situation with regards to cell phone plans (working offshore), so I was going...

Has anyone else gotten the error in the attached screenshot?

I am only allowed one device on the rig internet at work and it's pretty slow most of time I'm up. Is it possible to transfer the downloaded spotify songs on my OE to my Nexus 7 via a file manager (rooted on my phone, but not yet on the Nexus, hopefully I'll be able to while out here)

There seem to be a number of threads for this question, but having looked at a few, they seem to be full of attitude and judgment instead of help. The one fix suggested involved downloading ADB tools, etc, which makes absolutely no sense--if you can download those, then you probably don't have a...

Is it possible to set up the Nexus 4 (or any Android phone for that matter) to share the wifi signal it is connected to (as opposed to a mobile 3g/4g connection)? i.e., say the N4 is connected to a wifi signal, can I rebroadcast that signal out to my laptop with N4 acting as a router of sorts?

Has anyone experienced this? I'm using an LG Optimus Elite on Virgin Mobile with a specialized ROM (Sleipnir for reference). I received an auto update to my Spotify app and all of my music that was downloaded is no longer recognized by the app. It's trying to download it again and I have...

Can anyone offer any info on how long it is currently taking to get the 16GB version? I'm currently working out on a rig. Just as I got my first paycheck, the shipping time jumped to "ships by March 29th", which was a bummer because I'm stuck using the one public computer right now. I return...

Really not sure how to properly describe this issue succinctly, so forgive the broad thread title. I just moved cities and I'm crashing with a friend and his roommate for a couple of weeks. The roommate's router initially gave me serious issues connecting my Windows 7 laptop (something about...

Hey all, I want to take a screenshot a really great text message conversation (I was given the wrong phone n umber by one digit, so I texted someone completely different which resulted in a hilarious out of context response, yada yada yada). I am rooted, but I'm running 2.3.7 without any...

I recently purchased a new version of the Nexus 7 (32gb wifi). I had the 8gb version from last August until October when some idiot knocked it out of my hands on the street. I can't necessarily list all particulars but the new one seems to stutter, and crash apps, make freak out electronic...

I just received a replacement Elite because it's been giving me all sorts of problems (though admittedly I'm hoping to sell this one and buy an HTC EVO V... please dont' hate). Since I have to send the old one back to Virgin Mobile, I want to unroot it and reapply the stock OS (and factory...

I was rammed into on the sidewalk by an idiot trying to catch a cab recently and I dropped my Nexus 7 8gb that I bought mid August. It fell on one corner (I was oh so close to catching it) so the cracks spread across the top of the screen. Unfortunately, despite the rest of the screen being...

I know I'm not the only person with this issue, and I know there is info available via a google search, but there are so many outdated threads with no real answer, people who have posted to use the old version of the app but from months ago, etc. Does anyone know a usable work-around for the...
