I am trying to figure out whether using my bluetooth headphones to listen to mp3s & other downloaded content (ie, not streaming) eats up my data use. Specifically, I am talking about when I'm running outside & therefore, not using WiFi. Anyone? Thanks.

I know GVoice is not long for this world, but until I have no other choice, I'm still using it. I can't seem to set GV as my default voicemail. Anyone have any ideas? Also my OS is up to date & my phone is unlocked. Thanks!

Thank you so much! This was both puzzling and annoying. Cheers!

Does anyone know what the letters mean that pop up in the status bar next to the downloading/uploading data arrows? Usually it's either an "H" or an "E". I have been searching for an answer all over the place but I got nothing. I've enclosed a screenshot for reference. This pic shows the H...

Really? Thats interesting, because on their site the g2 is not given as an option under the possible BYOD phones. But thanks much for this info. Otherwise I wouldnt have bothered, but now I'll call t-moble to get it verified. Posted via Android Central App

Although I'm at risk of sounding like an id*ot here, I have to ask a question. I really want out of contract situations and I also really want to pull the trigger on a factory unlocked LG G2. But I can't figure out which mobile carrier will let me bring this phone to their service. Ting is...

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! Can someone tell me if rooting now could possibly improve the battery drain since the update, or is that a pipe dream? Thanks.

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! That's what I want to know!

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! Yup, same thing here pizza. I DLd a CPU app to see what was going on & when I'm using almost any app, my CPU is nearly 100. So thats what's likely sucking down the juice. Not that there's anything to be done about that. I just consider this...

Re: Galaxy S3 4.3 update questions and issues! The biggest problem that I've heard from almost everyone is the remarkably fast battery drain. I went to bed the other night with a 60% charge and when I woke up, the phone was dead. And oh yeah, the thing is running around 60 cpu on average with...

Yup, yup, all correct. It was a recently installed app that is supposed to dim the screen to different levels depending on the app (customized). I forget what it's called now bc I deleted it faster than I could think about it, but anyway. Thanks for all the help!

Aww man! youre right. Some app is screwing up the works. Ugh, now I guess I go through & turn off each app to pinpoint it? WOuld you recommend I try the newest one first? Thanks so much for the feedback. PS - CROOOOOOWWW!

Please help if you can. I have searched the forums but havent come across this particular problem. All of a sudden, I'm not able to customize a screen timeout time period. It is always 500 minutes. No matter what I check, once I leave the Settings, the timeout resets to 500 minutes. It is...

Thanks for all the input, this was driving me to drink. Well, more drink.

Sorry to say but I use swiftkey too, the full version in fact, and the auto-rotation sticking is a problem for me too. I don't think it's the keyboard software.
