    Can't text certain people

    The joke is on me I guess! I found out that my best friend of 15 years, who has had the same number for the last ten of those years, decided to get a new number in the last few days without telling me. Maybe we aren't as good of friends as I'd imagined? Haha... I guess in my defense, we do live...

    Can't text certain people

    What's even stranger is that I thought I'd try sending an MMS for the heck of it, according to my phone the MMS was sent successfully. I immediately then tried sending a regular SMS, and it failed to send. Not sure why an SMS can't go through, but an MMS can? I am 100% sure that the number is...

    Can't text certain people

    No, my last phone was a Galaxy S3, and a Motorola Droid-something before that. I deleted the contact, re-made the entry for his number, and still no luck.

    Can't text certain people

    Hi all, I just picked up a new Galaxy S5 less than 24 hours ago. For some reason I can't text a certain person in my contacts. I type the message, hit send, and it just sits there and says "Sending" (while it's doing this if I go to Details it says the error code is "Addr.Vcnt".) Then a short...

    Text messages stay "Pending"

    Hi all, For some reason every time I try to send a text message, the status just stays at "Pending" - it doesn't send the message, nor does it give me a message failed error. I'm not using any third-party text message apps, I tried restarting it, and I cleared the cache/data for the default...

    Advice for music download subscription services

    Hi all, I've been thinking about getting a new MP3 player, it's probably been about ten years since I got my last one and I know a lot has changed since then. Anyway, I'm wondering what the best (legal) way to download music is these days? One of my friends was telling me to look into Amazon...

    Battery drain, slow charging - Galaxy S3, 4.4.2

    Usually it's pretty strong, actually. Sometimes if I venture out of town on the rural roads I'll lose it, which is to be expected. But even with great reception and full bars, it still likes to drain down and the battery percentage is nowhere near accurate anymore with this new battery. Ha ha...

    Battery drain, slow charging - Galaxy S3, 4.4.2

    Well, just another update on my problem. I ordered a new OEM Samsung GS3 battery for my phone and much to my surprise (as AKAndy pointed out above) it didn't help me much. I noticed with the new battery that it doesn't charge to full capacity like my old battery did (granted, the older one...

    Battery drain, slow charging - Galaxy S3, 4.4.2

    B. Diddy and cindy, thank you both very much for the information, as anything at this point is helpful. Before I buy a battery, how can I check my network settings to ensure I don't have that same issue as mentioned in the previous post? My phone does display "4G LTE" most of the time, so...

    Battery drain, slow charging - Galaxy S3, 4.4.2

    Hello, I'm obviously quite new to this place as it appears. I purchased a brand new Samsung Galaxy S3 in January 2013 through Verizon and I've had it ever since and I've taken excellent care of it, it still looks (and usually behaves) brand new a year and a half later. I can't remember for...
