    Jump vs Jump on Demand

    I was told in a T-Mobile store this weekend that JoD is no longer available. Since it's still on the web site, I called T-Mo. I just got off the phone with them and they say that it's been discontinued since early April. Why it's still on the web site is a mystery.

    Note 4 Camera/Focus Problem

    My daughter just came to me with this problem on a Note4 that we got for her yesterday. None of the settings made any difference, so I turned the phone off and slapped it against my palm with the camera hitting the fleshy part of my palm twice, then turned it over and smacked the screen against...

    Note 4 camera blurry

    Ok, this sounds insane, but it's true. The focus mechanism might be stuck. Power off the phone and then smack the phone against the palm of your hand so that the camera area is hitting your palm. Give it a couple of whacks in one direction and test it. If that doesn't work, power off again...

    carrier unlocked s4, update to kitkat?

    Generally, and no offense is meant by this, if you're asking "should I use Odin", then the answer is "no". Spend a week or two reading everything you can find on the xdaforums. When you no longer feel that you need to ask if you should use Odin, then it might be safe for you to actually use...

    A virus on my Nexus 5 erased everything, is there anyway to get what I had back?

    Re: Virus on Nexus 5 erased everything It's virtually impossible that you got "a virus via bluetooth". Much more likely, is that somebody reset your phone, removed your account from the phone, or you've got a really whacky hardware issue. In any case, your info is gone from the phone and...

    Am I glad I didn't upgrade to lollipop.

    That's a meaningless question without the context of which device model you're talking about.

    How can I erase personal info from my Android cell phone that is no longer working?

    Re: how can I erase personal info from my android cell phone that is no longer working? Wait, you said "won't boot up". Does that mean it won't power on at all or can you get to the boot loader? Hold down the HOME button and VOLUME DOWN while powering on the phone. If the boot loader comes...

    How can I erase personal info from my Android cell phone that is no longer working?

    Re: how can I erase personal info from my android cell phone that is no longer working? If it won't boot, there's no way for you to erase the memory. If you're completely paranoid, you could do something ridiculous like dunking it in water or microwaving it for 5 seconds. Either way REMOVE...

    Is it fine to charge a damaged phone battery?

    Re: is it fine to charge a damaged phone battery NO! DO NOT CHARGE IT! Seriously. An exploding battery can do some serious damage. Take it to a recycling location and get a new battery. Dan

    how do I get vm setup I get error message saying passwords don't match m

    Every carrier is different. We don't know which carrier you're on, so we can't help, but the best thing to do would be to call your carrier and have their tech support walk you through it. They can also reset your password. Dan

    Is the Galaxy Core a good phone?

    Go here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/ Scroll down to "Samsung Android Phones" and look for the Galaxy Core. See it there? Nope. It's a throw-away phone and will probably never get an update. Dan

    Can I use my Samsung S5 - G900F - in the USA?

    Your device will work, but your SIM may not. You'll need to check with your provider to find out. If your SIM does work, your provider might charge you a fortune to use it in the US. Your easiest and least expensive option might be to just get a 1-month SIM card from one of the US carriers...

    How do I root my LG l'Fino?

    Re: How do i root my LG l'Fino Google "lg lfino root" and read the thread "[Q] Newly released phone, LG L Fino, need help rooting?". If that thread doesn't give you enough info to root your device, then you probably shouldn't be rooting that device right now. I'm not saying this to be a jerk...

    What is the best portable external hard drive for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4?

    Which Tab4 do you have? If you have the 7", it won't work because there's no OTG support (unless it's the 7" LTE and that's still a maybe). Assuming you have the 8" or 10", anything should work but you're not going to find a 1TB solution with a single cable to connect to your tablet. You...
