    Verizon Galaxy S3: 4.3 update questions and issues!

    Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! Just updated and mostly running fine (maybe a quicker battery drain, not sure) Only "annoying thing" is that when I get a sms text message, it used to display the sender and part of the text at the header and in the drop-down. Now it just says...

    Send S3 to Samsung for screen repair, they send back refurb phone. Should I be angry?

    Thanks for the education on modern companies. I know how they work. For instance, you call Verizon with a warranty issue. They say, "No problem, we will send you a different phone and you send this one back to us. We'll fix it then give it to someone else down the road" Yes, that is how most...

    Send S3 to Samsung for screen repair, they send back refurb phone. Should I be angry?

    This. And I most likely say to them "That's fine, just send me another phone" every time. But: 1) If that's the policy, just say it up front and dont try and sneak it past me. 2) Many (if not most) swaps like that work the other way around: they ship you a replacement phone first then you send...

    Send S3 to Samsung for screen repair, they send back refurb phone. Should I be angry?

    No, I absolutely don't expect a new one. I expect to get back the phone that I sent them, as they represent their service center to "repair" my phone, not replace my phone. Please keep in mind that my perspective is that of a Fascinate owner that had to replace my phone on warranty no less than...

    Send S3 to Samsung for screen repair, they send back refurb phone. Should I be angry?

    Title says it all. I sent in my S3 that I bought from Verizon (admittedly I bought a refurb off the site for $400 no contract) to repair the cracked glass. Screen was fine. Well I guess Samsung won't just replace the glass and they charge me $135(+/-) to replace the whole screen. I send them...

    Why is Verizon proxying our email, and can we stop it?

    Actually you can link most any imap or pop address to a gmail address... I have about 10 gmail and aol addys linked to one gmail box.

    Why is Verizon proxying our email, and can we stop it?

    I get around the issue of multiple gmail accounts by routing all my gmail addresses through one master address. All my mail goes into one box and it lets me reply to an email with the default address it delivered to or I can switch to send from any other linked gmail address or non gmail...

    People receiving your phone--how is the signal strength?

    I had this problem with the Fascinate and the Charge. learned my lesson after that to not bother with the GNex and figured as much for the SIII Easiest way to truly determine if there is a signal problem is to take your phone into a Verizon store (where the signal is amped) and check it against...

    Thinking about buying a droid pro....

    I bought one these used a few weeks back for a trip outside the US and I haven't switched back to my Samsung Fascinate. The stock OS has been really stable and the hardware is solid. It's a downgrade for me on the screen and camera, but I love having a keyboard again and it has been nothing but...

    Verizon Early 2012 - What's Coming?

    I'm in the same situation too... have an upgrade due in another week or two... I'm gonna wait and see what the CES show brings in January... that usually sets the tone for the first half of the year as far as what to expect.

    droid with non slider keyboard?

    I'm definitely spoiled by the big screen of my fascinate, but my sausage fingers never got used to on-screen keyboards. I would probably pay $500 for a 4G Android phone that had a BB Torch / Dell Venue Pro form factor (slide down keyboard) I would think the Torch sales are strong enough to...
