    Private mode

    Yes, well what they are actually doing is forcing you to use Samsung Knox...Google it and you'll find hundreds of threads called "HOW DO I GET RID OF KNOX?" littered across every Android forum, for every Samsung device ever made...it was bloatware installed on every Samsung phone and tablet...

    Questions about Moving from Handcent to GO SMS Pro or ? when switching to Galaxy S7 Edge

    I'm getting my S7 Edge today, upgrading from a S6 Edge. I've used Handcent for a few years and I pay for their backup service. I've liked it mostly but there are a few things that bug me about it...I don't like their group texting especially, and it's been crashing quite a lot lately. So with...

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Glad I waited... got a notification my credit card was charged about 20 minutes ago, and now the order status page on my phone says the ship date is 3/7! I have no tracking number though..and I doubt it actually shipped today, but it's progress.. at this rate I ought to receive it before Friday.:D

    S7 Edge - Verizon preorders

    Thanks for the replies..I won't call yet. On another note.. I have read the official exchange policy which requires a $35 restocking fee. When I ordered the phone I asked the CS rep if I went to a Verizon store the day I got it and they happened to have silver in stock..could I exchange my...

    Just upgraded to Gnex and my 4g drops every few minutes

    I totally gave up on 4G with my GNEX. Not only would it frequently lose and then reconnect its 4G signal ..but while it was continually disconnecting and trying to make a 4G connection it totally drained the battery. I've got a friend who had the same problem. So, I just set mine to CDMA and...

    Sprint Galaxy Nexus with G. Wallet?

    Well, this is the Verizon Nexus forum... I can't speak for the Sprint version but you have to root to get it on the Verizon Nexus. No way around it.

    Grey Data bars??

    This has been happening to me as well in my house where normally I have full bars with 4G. Suddenly I'll lose all connectivity for a couple minutes..unable to place calls or send texts...wifi continues to work. Then it comes back on its own and often with grey bars. Then eventually blue bars...

    To use a screen protector or not to use a screen protector

    I just returned from a Verizon store where I had them install an anti-glare protector on my Nexus. I recently upgraded from a Fascinate. Awhile I didn't have one on my Fascinate... but my sister used one on her HTC Touch. One day she dropped it and the screen shattered, but because she had...

    Verizon GN on sale, but will I lose my grandfathered data plan?

    Re: Verizon GN on sale, but will I lose my grandfathered data pla The answer is...probably not. I just upgraded to a GN last week directly from Verizon Wireless and it allowed me to keep my unlimited data plan. However, while shopping for the phone I also went through the process of ordering...

    Re: HELP! Please! That's just what I needed, thanks! The option to export in VZW backup online does not appear until you've selected something. After selecting I had no trouble exporting to a .csv file and importing into Gmail. Now I've got all my contacts back. Another question..can I...

    [ROM][AOSP][4.0.3] Codename Android 1.5.5 [Full Open Source]

    Re: HELP! Please! Thanks. Yes I can get to CWM..the phone is working great and I love this ROM, but what I'd really like is to be able to get my contacts back without going to all the trouble. Is there really no way to get VZW Backup back on my phone without going back to stock? Surely one of...

    [ROM][AOSP][4.0.3] Codename Android 1.5.5 [Full Open Source]

    HELP! Please! Today I downloaded Wug's Unlock & Root toolkit and proceeded to unlock and root my phone.
