    Screen Brightness

    I agree with very limited usability in direct sunlight. I was quite surprised putting against Motorola Photon, that is much more readable put together side by side... Not sure if its a deal breaker though, but TMO signal in my office might be...

    Bluetooth Streaming Audio Issue - Multiple Apps

    Guys, Here is what I noticed with my Mopho - although not necessarily a phone problem as i suspect: if I stream my music from the phone to any Bluetooth device and I have my laptop nearby, every time i refresh the webpage, it breaks BT connection. the problem might be in the frequency band...

    Turning off on it's own?

    same problem for me. i thought it was related to the new 4ft cable that i bought from amazon. actually it started like this: it charges to 100 %, screen turns on and stays on till it drops to 99%, then screen is off again, and so on and so on. trying to remedy it, i turned off my notifications...

    Music App

    PowerAmp is the best. has lyrics function, choices of widgets, 10 band equalizer, resumes where you left off and can automatically resume playing on connect of wire or BT headset :)

    Using Photon over seas questions...need answers ASAP

    my GSM roaming worked fine in China with Sprint SIM. But i was told by Sprint that in order to use all capabilities with other carriers cards, you have to make sure that local SIM you buy is 128K. I agree that using wi-fi for data is the best option anyway.

    Spb shell 3D on PHOTON?

    Re: Spb shell 3D on PHOTON??? well guys, i hate to disagree with one statement made in that video - about gorilla glass on photon. mine is already scratched and i don't even know how i did it, because the phone is in my pocket all the time, and there were no keys or anything sharp to do it...

    Does your Photon do this?

    ok, while this led is color-customizable, i noticed the following: any Google notifications regardless of type - green yahoo mail(separate app) - pink before installation of Go launcher, when MoPho is off while charging - white after Go launcher - before 90% charge amber, after 90% green. if...

    Found Some Earbuds, Have You?

    Tried them and liked them but not only for the tab. like the different size ear buds - they fit good almost everyone. The headphones are actually great on intercontinental flights because they block most of the outside noise :)

    Can you read books in portrait mode on the galaxy tab 10.1?

    just make sure your screen orientation is set to auto, once in a portrait mode rotate tablet, so your volume buttons are on top right, then uncheck screen orientation to leave your tab in the portrait mode. in your kindle app settings you can check "use volume buttons to turn pages" and if you...

    Photon Unfriendly Apps

    Guys, I have had some frustration with SwiftKeyX, and I know it relates to the increased resolution of the screen. On the EVO keys were larger and it was much more easier to type in a portrait mode. But after awhile I got used to it, so i no longer think its a problem :) mine was never laggy...

    SIM swap or activate?

    on my way back from china. took me awhile to activate SIM card but once i did, it worked good. the problem is that you have to choose the right GSM settings, automatic doesn't work really well because it selects networks that are far form perfect, especially those that won't provide you with...
