Question is withdrawn.

I receive my home phone voicemails as emails with audio attachments, some of them type .wav, and I read that mail with the Android GMail app. In the past I could click on the attachment and be offered a choice of audio players from which I could select one that worked with that particular...

The Google Play blurb for Caffeine says "Support for Android 1.5 - 2.3".

HSPA+ on ATT would be fine. Thanks. Have just moved to H2O and I like their service and pricing.

I read a lot of complaints in the Amazon buyer reviews about the grey market GT-I9192. Seems that some (all?) come unlocked only as far as the provider/network but they do have some type of Regional lock that I'd not heard of before. So they accept SIM cards from providers in the Americas...

I've placed an order with Expansys at $357.98 ($349.99 plus $7.99 shipping). Their support was most helpful and explained that the GT-I9195 devices they sell are sourced by their UK branch and so would be supported by Samsung UK. Because I often travel there and because Samsung's Eu Bloc...

Thanks and yes Best Buy can get the GT-I9190 for around $500 and theirs is both unlocked and with a Samsung USA warranty. It's a possibility, but I am first chasing one of their Marketplace sellers who is offering the GT-I9195 and which I would prefer because that model also supports LTE.

No, not FROM Amazon but yes THROUGH Amazon - from one of their Marketplace dealers. But I see no reason to think those phones are any less orphans than are the Ebay ones. Did you ever get an Android update for the old mini that you bought?

Is it possible to buy a warrantied and supported unlocked SGS4 Mini in the USA? I see sellers of the GT-I9195 on Ebay with unlocked phones that say no manufacturer's warranty and I assume also no-one to upgrade the Android from time to time. My phone is the Google edition of the SGS4 which is an...

Many thanks for that. And so I guess the weird pings are unrelated and unfortunately those are not matched to any notification icons.

Can someone recognize an icon that has appeared on my phone? It looks like a shaking phone and on the attached screen shot is the one to the left of the alarm clock icon. Along with this icon the phone is now emitting occasional unidentified ping sounds and maybe those two are related. Thanks.

Thanks for your continuing newbie support! That "easy enough" bit - is that merely my running the already installed SuperSU app and re-adjusting the settings to Enable Superuser or would I need to run the rooting procedure anew with adb.exe, fastboot.exe and image file...

@SamuriHL - at this point I have the SGS4GPE rooted with an altered platform.xml and I hold a spare of the original file. I believe you are saying that reverting to the original file and then allowing the 4.4 update will result in a still rooted phone? And at that point I can again swap to the...

I imagine there are some techno-nerds in Google who cry themselves to sleep each night because they are unable to weld closed the backs of our phones by software to stop the batteries from being replaced. Is Google a cult? Buying this phone from them instead of from a non-ideological supplier...

Finally back in 33139 and there was no problem, automatic connection with a notification of LTE.
