    Post I was was Note before Note was cool...what's your story?

    While everyone was laughing at the original note I was lusting after it from my Galaxy S II. Was able to get a Note II, and haven't loved a phone quite like that one ever since. After that I went all over the place: S4, Lumia 830, S6, and now off the deep end on a iPhone 7+. I was so set on...

    Post Anyone Else Order From Best Buy?

    Classic story. The guy on the first shoulder says "You are saving money every month by waiting a week or two, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the phone." The other guy says "Cancel that Best Buy order today, order from AT&T. You've been using an iPhone for 9 months you have suffered...

    Post Rooting G920A running Basband Version G920AUCU3CPD6 (Marshmallow 6.0.1)

    Can I downgrade from the PD6 OTA? I am running 100% official. I see there are no tools for rooting 6.0.1, but can I odin down to a version of 5.1.1 that I can root? It's been a while since I have done that, and IIRC sometimes it's impossible to downgrade once you have upgraded. I don't care...

    Post ATT S6 just released 5.11 - Nexus 6 gets Marshmallow 6.0 on Oct 6th

    Whoa ... The 830 does get denim? I got the 830 in November when the phone was recently announced as shipping with Denim. Then sat for 7 months of no Netflix, a camera that took great pictures if you could ever get it to load, while being told the real denim update was "coming soon." Tried all...

    Post Fast Charging "Homemade". What are the risks?

    I thought the whole thing was dynamic, that at lower battery levels it charges at different amperage than higher levels, and at a certain point it kicks over to 5V. It doesn't charge at 9V the whole time. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using XDA Free mobile app

    I just switched from a Nokia Lumia 830 Windows Phone. I had a S4 and S4 Active before that. We just bought a new house, I work from home in a basement office. I had issues with calls dropping and failing to ring. Texts not coming through until I went upstairs, etc. The Lumia seemed slightly...

    Post Galaxy S4 with Palm Touchstone (Wireless charging)

    Anyone tried this with the TouchPad version? That one should charge at 2A instead of 1A for the Pre. There are no magnets from what I understand, but it has a lip at the bottom to hold the device. There may even be two induction coils inside because you can charge it in either orientation, and...

    I love mine, but I only paid $35 (amazon free shipping, and no tax where I live), and I got the three months free Netflix (already a member). I have a Vizio smart TV, and the Netflix app is bad.

    Post Can at&t verify if a phone has been reported lost or stolen?

    This has been a hot topic lately. There are a few threads about this, blacklisting a phone. They can verify it isn't stolen at that moment, yes. But, they will not transfer ownership or notate the account. The person that bought the phone can report it stolen the next day, week, or even later...

    Post HD+ Significant Upgrade from HP Touchpad?

    I had a TouchPad (kids still use it daily) and got a HD+ recently. I use it for reading, videos, and web browsing. Similar enough size, bigger than the nexus 7. Personally, the 7" size is too small for me. The screen on the HD+ is great, it's a 16:9 screen vs a 4:3 screen, so it feels taller...

    Yeah, no big deal. Just wanted to rule out user error. Not having auto correct in the keyboard is probably my only complaint with TouchWiz. The keyboard is just otherwise so good. Especially the number row and ability to float on the screen. If it also had auto correct (I understand this is...

    Post Gs4 vs note 2 ok at&t

    I had the Note II. My wife really wanted the bigger screen and better battery life. I figured we would get a GS 4 with her upgrade (and I would use it), give her my Note II, and if she didn't like the Note II she could have the GS4. I was worried it would be too big for her. She hasn't had any...

    Post Debating on rooting my S4

    I was a flashaholic on the captivate, and S II. I loved trying new ROMs like Miui and AOKP. But, since I got the Note II and now the S 4 I don't have that desire. My only reason for rooting usually was TiBu, and only from flashing so often. Without flashing a new ROM each week I had little...

    Fair enough. It wouldn't be the first time an AT&T employee tried to explain something to me that they didn't understand themselves. I though you were just speculating. I wasn't trying to suggest anyone try that to get out of their bill, just providing an alternative reason for falsely...

    This is another reason I took a hit on the value, but sold my old phone to Best Buy when I got a new phone. Also always looming in my mind buying any smart phone second hand. I wonder how long the purchaser of the phone can lie in the shadows to report the phone stolen, the duration of the...

    Couple things to check. They only work with the screen off, and dim if in dark places. Did you install any third party apps to control the LED? Is Power save mode on? Does it still light up while charging. I've never had issues with the LED on the S4 or Note II. Sent from my Galaxy S4 (I337)

How many tough quarters will it take for them to get their head back in the game? Blinkfeed would make using a...
