    Phone reset itself completely

    My phone (HTC One M8) just completely reformatted and reinstalled yesterday. Spontaneously, as far as I can tell. I didn't see any prompts, however I was rebooting it on purpose at the time. I had set encryption on the HD a week or so ago, and now it's not encrypted. Had to re-set up the whole...

    Data turning off when screen shuts off

    I appreciate your time and effort and the help of the others who posted to this thread! This is a great community and I knew I'd get help here. Just having others to hash things out with helps a lot.

    Data turning off when screen shuts off

    Ok, I found it. There is a setting in Go Power Master that shuts off data when the screen shuts off. I never selected it, in fact I haven't opened that app in months. It must have defaulted to that setting in the last update. I wonder if I can delete Power Master and not effect the Go Launcher?

    Data turning off when screen shuts off

    Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm afraid it didn't work. The problem is with data over the cell network. Honestly I haven't checked to see if I'm having the same problem at home with my wifi. I'll have to check that tonight.

    Data turning off when screen shuts off

    I have pattern security enabled. This is driving me crazy. And it just started doing this a couple weeks ago.

    Data turning off when screen shuts off

    I'm with Verizon too. Power saving is not on and I haven't downloaded any apps for a while. I'm not rooted, but I use Go Launcher. It seems I can use a radio app that is streaming and it won't shut off when the screen turns off. If the app downloads a song or podcast it plays the whole thing...

    Data turning off when screen shuts off

    I don't know why this suddenly started happening. I like to listen to Pandora, but now whenever the screen shuts off, the data connection shuts off. When I hit the home button to wake up the phone, I can see that the 4G indicator in the notification bar is missing and then it pops up and the...

    Battery Issues....S3/iphone

    This is my only real issue with the SG3 after switching from the Iphone. If I don't plug the SG3 in at work the battery won't last until bedtime. If I spend any time reading Kindle or news apps or playing a game, the battery won't last until dinner. What I did then and I do now is plug the phone...

    Please tell me why the S3 is better than an iPhone.

    I could, but it's her phone. She's the one that has to live with it. Plus she's pretty invested in the Apple world. I would have pushed harder if this was a decision made from "scratch" so to speak. But she already likes her Iphone, no real reason to switch. That was my point, switching should...

    Home screens... Let's see what you got.

    It's called "one more clock" widget. I first saw it right here on this thread, way back though! It has many, many clocks to choose from.

    Please tell me why the S3 is better than an iPhone.

    I just switched from Iphone 4 to GS3 and my wife was deciding between upgrading to the Iphone 5 or getting the GS3 too. She was happy with her Iphone. She was thinking about switching because of the larger screen and because I was all giddy about what I could do on Andriod that I couldn't do...

    Funkylogik got it. It came with GoLauncher. I'd like to find a similar widget that I can make transparent.

    Home screens... Let's see what you got.

    Hi all, first post. Wanted to be on this thread because I've gotten so many good ideas from it. One of the reasons I switched from the Iphone was the ability to customize and the widgets. The shots below are my first attempt and I'm really happy with it - clean and simple. And I love being able...
