    Prevent receipt of sms so msgs don't come off my plan

    There are a gazillion posts on the Internet and in androidcentral about sms blocking, but I can't find anything about whether or not the messages are actually blocked from receipt or, if they are still received, but blocked from view. I have a limited texting plan and I don't want to change it...

    Lollipop too bright!

    I don't like lollipop for many, many reasons and if I can't get used to the changes, or fix them, I will have to seek an alternative. There are 2 issues I find acutely irritating. 1) The keyboard. I hate it and while I am now using a 3rd party keyboard, I am disgusted that I have to begin...

    Wallpaper scrolls no more

    This is an odd occurance. I've had the Note 3 for 5 days. It's been working perfectly. I downloaded a few apps, having to uninstall a couple because they crashed and burned. Then, 2 days ago, I saw a message that a security update had been downloaded and installed on my phone. Yes, I have...

    Plans Plans Plans iPad (No carrier) and SGS2 (Sprint)

    So, I'm on AT&T, unlimited data. I'm planning on giving an iPad (wifi and cell) as a gift with an associated data plan to a person who's on Sprint and hates it (beside the point). I've been checking data plans and so far, no one comes close to just adding a line to my own plan with unlimited...

    All Samsung phones on sale at Best Buy as of today (Ventura County CA)

    The clerk said all locations are participating in the sale, but might be worth confirming that. I got the N3 for $199. I hope that was a good price. It was better than Costco. Just thought it was worth a mention.

    Amazing phone! App must have's?

    Took my S4 back today and picked up the N3. Best Buy has all Samsung phones on sale as of today. For me, this is the most awesome Samsung phone yet. A few browsers have been mentioned, but does anyone have a favorite? Also, I'm really interested in which Samsung apps are worth using. For the...

    Quandry - iPad 4 or Note 3?

    I thought I'd ask all you Note guru's to see what you'd do if you were in my position since you have experience with the Note 3. This past Saturday, I received an iPad 4 64GB Wifi/Cellular Verizon as a gift. I recently upgraded from the S2 to the S4. I have to say, I love the S4. Seriously...

    Link in email causes camera to take pictures? Virus?

    Hi all! Well, I finally went and did it. I received a link in an email from a friend of mine and clicked it without thinking. First time I've ever done anything like that. I immediately put it in airplane mode but, that didn't matter. The camera snapped a picture, then another about 10...

    Calls over wifi and/or voip

    Anyone have any experience with making calls over wifi? I've read that I have to have AT&T enable it and then, even though the calls are being made over wifi, the minutes still come off my plan. I've also seen some apps that offer this where the calls don't come off my minutes. I'd love some...

    Missed phone call history not autmatically clearing

    My phone has been holding onto my missed call history. Until yesterday, I couldn't figure out how to clear it. Do I have to manually clear my missed calls from the log? That just seems silly.

    32GB class 4 Sandisk Microsd was $79 now $39 @ Staples

    I picked one up. It says out of stock on the website, but some of the stores have them. You can search for which stores have them in stock. The one near me had a lot. I wish it was class 6, but then I guess it wouldn't be $40:-) Seemed like a good price and I don't feel at risk for getting a fake.

    Otterbox messes up order -Solved- Awesome CS!

    <edit> Update After messing around with CS reps, I spoke to a supervisor today to request a refund since I didn't want to wait for the case to come in. He was wonderful! I guess the first rep was new and the second was just doing his job. The second rep was very nice and tried hard to help...

    If you had another upgrade coming, what would you do?

    So, I have to replace a phone on my family plan. I haven't upgraded the line in over 4 years. It needs to be a dumb phone. I love my S2, but I started thinking about other phones slated to release in the next 6-8 months, like the Note (if it ever makes it here). I'd love to switch between my...

    CD player cell phone car mount - thoughts?

    This cd player mount for the car has gotten great reviews, overall. What do you think? I don't want a suction cup mount and dash or vent mounts won't work in my car. This seems like a good alternative. Mountek CD Slot Mount MT5000-C, Universal Hands Free Car Mount for Cell Phones, Satellite...

    My S2 saved me!

    I drove to Carmel, California over the weekend. Didn't get there until around 2 a.m. Sunday morning because I got a flat out in the middle of nowhere. I called AAA, but I would have to wait about an hour. I used my gps to explain where I was. Without it, I couldn't have told them where I was...

    I really do need your advice about BT headsets with the S2

    I've read about them and read about them, but can't decide which one to get. I have an old Jawbone that was terrible and after reading in the Aliph forum about problems with Icon and Prime, I really want to look elsewhere. Who makes the best BT? Good sound quality in and out. A2DP, of course...
