    Did I buy a stolen phone?

    I was actually out of town this past weekend, so I asked him to hold off on having his boss report the phone till Monday. I told him to contact me on Sunday night when I was back in town. He never did. I suspect he just wanted to trade back, but I'll keep you guys posted on if this escalates...

    Did I buy a stolen phone?

    Thanks for the tips everyone. I think it sounds so weird, but I have been reading all these stories about 'blocklists' being started for stolen phone IMEIs and really don't want my phone on it! I'll tell him to have his boss or IT dept contact me and take it from there. Also, my friend...

    Did I buy a stolen phone?

    I traded phones with someone off Craigslist. My iPhone 4S for their Galaxy S3. Went to an AT&T store and activated the Galaxy S3 no problem with the IMEI number and have been using it for a couple days with no issues. The seller just contacted me and says that his phone was actually issued by...

    Incoming call not displaying caller's information

    Just turn the phone off by pulling out the battery and then start it up again. This same thing happened for me and a quick reset worked.

    Help! CONTACTS names won't show up when they call

    I recently set up my Evo, and when contacts call me, the names won't show up, just their number. It appears like the person is not in my phonebook. However, if I look up that person manually in my contacts, or look at my call history, their number and name both show up. It's only when someone...

    Friendcaster reviews?

    I've looked at their website and at reviews in the market, but I can't really tell whether it's worth it to purchase the full version of this app. My main issue with FB notifications on the official app is that they usually arrive late, and clicking on them from the notification bar takes you...

    Is the Atrix faster now?

    Since the Atrix's bootloader has been unlocked, and ROMS can be flashed, do you think the device is speedier? From all the reviews I've read, the device has seemed very laggy and slow since it was essentially only utilizing one core, and that too with MotoBlur on top. However, now that you can...

    help flashing infused 1.5 rom over stock

    If I was you, I would download ROM Manager from the market. It's a paid app, but for someone not so tech-savvy like myself, it helped me through the flashing process easily. And the Infused Rom is on there.

    zagg for Samsung Infuse

    These products are generally useless in my opinion. One, the phone has gorilla glass. Yes, it's not completely scratch-proof, but you can get a scratch through a screen protector as well. I think the ZAGG was a good option on super scratchable screens like the G1 or the iPhone 3G, but with...

    Cons to the Infuse?

    I would say the viability of the device depends on what kind of user you are. If you're willing to tinker around and flash custom roms, the Infuse is excellent. With the Infused ROM in particular, I've noticed the phone speeds up considerably. However, of AT&T's flagship Android phones...

    Best Replacement GALLERY app?

    I have a Samsung Infuse and for all the slow stock apps that come installed (like Messaging), I easily found a speedy replacement (Go SMS Pro) in the market. However, the sluggishness of the gallery really bothers me. It seems like it has to re-load my memory card's photos every time it opens...

    Why all the hate?

    I have a Samsung Infuse, and have owned a Samsung Epic 4G-- and I have to say that, in a lot of ways, Samsung DOES suck. Their SAMOLED screens keep me coming back (they're superior to anything else on the market IMO including any qHD displays or the iPhone 4's retina display), but apart from...

    zagg for Samsung Infuse

    I got one put on my Infuse at a kiosk at the mall. I have had them on previous devices as well (iTouch and the like) It's pretty useless if you ask me. I have NEVER seen one on any device that doesn't look cheap and tacky within about 2 hours of being applied. Additionally, it totally ruined...

    Atrix vs Infuse

    Thanks for the comparisons guys! Apart from a few cool features that don't really seem all that usable in day to day life (Oooh Dual Core! Ooooh Fingerprint Reader!), I can't see that much difference between the Atrix and the Infuse. I think, because the Infuse has faster HSPA+ as well, I will...
