    The kinda-official LG G4 bootloop thread

    My LG G4 just bricked yesterday. The freezer trick works to give me about 30 seconds with the phone. I would like to back up my photos in the short time i have access, but I am pretty clueless about these kind of things. What would be the quickest and easiest way to get the photos off of the...

    after 13 years, bye Sprint

    Yes, their prices were great and I really had no particular reason I had stayed at Sprint so long. After T-Mo got the N5 working, I was just going to switch that line, but when she told me about their plans and that they would buy out my remaining Sprint lines, I signed on the spot, lol!

    after 13 years, bye Sprint

    We had a Nexus 5 before, and had no issues getting it activated. Given that this is Sprint's one and only function, being a cellphone company that is, you would think that in over a week of calling every day, multiple level II IT people, 3 trips to the store, someone would know what it takes to...

    after 13 years, bye Sprint

    Glad Sprint is working for you. I really didn't have too many problems with them until this incident. I never even shopped around for other plans, was happy doing the 2 year contract and getting a nice new phone for 200.00. It was just the little things, and over time, the disregard/lack of...

    after 13 years, bye Sprint

    Yes, my bill actually dropped 50.00 a month! Four lines with unlimited data instead of the 3 we had at Sprint, the first 10 g data at high speed (slower but unlimited with no extra $ after 10 g), and extra perks that Sprint didn't offer for 120.00 a month total. Locked in for as long as I am a...

    after 13 years, bye Sprint

    Well, I really don't know what this company is doing right these days. No more service plans. Poor treatment of long time customers. Customer service is abysmal. After 13 years, I left and went to T-Mobile. My son broke his Nexus 5. He worked hard and earned enough money to buy one from Ebay...

    new G3 owner with questions

    Okay, got the mic on my keyboard :) Thanks for the help on that. The other items are checked on the notifications, and I will get a pop up if the phone is already on, but I will not get a wake up if the phone is asleep. Are there other settings for that? Sorry, I have most of the phone set...

    new G3 owner with questions

    Forgot to add that I did get the comma on the main keyboard screen, and the mic shows that it is on the keyboard screen in the settings, but when I go back to the keyboard, there is no mic showing. The pencil symbol shows in that space on the actual keyboard in the space where the mic shows on...

    new G3 owner with questions

    Thank you! I did have these checked, but also gave it to my son (14) to figure out, and he may have set that up at some point when I had not noticed it before. Uninstalled popup and will see if this works for the notifications.

    new G3 owner with questions

    Hi All, I just got my new LG G3 over the weekend, and I have a couple of questions I can't seem to find the answer to. 1) Is there a setting for the stock texts that will allow a pop up preview/awake preview? I have downloaded the app "popup" because I couldn't find the setting on the phone...

    HTC One and Pandora issues

    Thanks, Will try that, but it definitely seems to be more of an HTC One issue. Have taken out two other phones from household, Samsung GS3 and HTC Evo 4G, all on same carrier, without issues. I touched briefly on the fact that I also seem to have internet connectivity issues. Yesterday was in a...

    anyone have lumina 1020 and when will verizon get it?

    Husband needs a new work phone and has narrowed down his choice to the Nokia Lumina 1020 due to the camera, as he frequently needs to take pictures on job sites of complicated wiring and mechanical setups in buildings. Has anyone used this phone? What do you think? Is the camera as good as the...

    HTC One and Pandora issues

    Ever since I got this phone, I have been having Pandora issues. Typically hit the pavement for about 4 miles every morning. Never had issues with my old phone and am on the same carrier, so do not think it is a carrier issue. Also used son and daughter's phone on same carrier without issues...

    Yeah! At least there are a couple of people who seem to get this!

    Re: Sorry. Rant. Is anyone else as sick of "it just works" as I am???? Yes, I am not saying android doesn't have their mouthy folks as well. I don't think I have said anything hating on Apple, just my observations - that I feel there is a certain attitude amongst more Appler users on...
