    s7 edge water damaged. Water in camera lense and proximity sensor no longer works

    Mine got water in under the camera module that damaged my screen when water was spilled on the table it sat on. Was wet for about 15 seconds. Samsung said send it in--and just got notification this evening they're not gonna do crap--Beyond Economical Repair. Waiting to actually get it back in...

    Galaxy S7 Edge Warranty Black Screen.

    I understand your frustration with Samsung and their "warranty service." My s7 edge got water damaged when my daughter spilled a galss of water on the end table my phone was sitting on. I didn't think too much of it. Wiped the phone off and continued watching tv. When the show was over I went...

    Huge Problems After 4.4.3 AT&T Update

    Not sure what to make if it. I had all the problems yesterday; got messaging working by switching back and forth between hangouts and messages several times and it finally took. Slow to send at first and then speeded up and acting normally now. Last night phone was accidentally left unplugged...

    Huge Problems After 4.4.3 AT&T Update

    I've had all these issues (phone running hot, up to 106/107; apps not downloading/uploading or taking forever to do so; sms not sending). I wiped system cache which has seemed to fix app updates/downloads, though they still do so slowly. SMS was working for me after the update, but I decided...

    photo highlights- how to stop season effects

    Thanks for the reply. Got busy elsewhere, and just now getting back to this. I like the other stuff auto awesome does; just not the odd, nonsensical seasonal effects. Seems weird that there is no setting to turn that one effect off.

    photo highlights- how to stop season effects

    I'd like to like the automatic photo highlight reels the gallery app creates, but why does it insist on inserting falling leaves and snow, etc. On pictures when it makes no sense? Pictures taken in June do not need falling autumn leaves. Is there anyway to disable the season effects from...

    Car mode issues -- texts; not reading them, voice commands to send text don't work either

    Coming to the M8 from the Moto X and have come to rely on the great Moto Assist driving features. Hoping to find some similar functionality on the M8. Have the ATT M8; enabled Car Mode by installing Nova Launcher and installing a short cut to the homescreen. Car Mode will announce phone calls...

    HTC One: Do you honestly need a screen protector?

    Re: Do you honestly need a screen protector? Not exactly, I have a Zagg that I got free from Best Buy Mobile when I got my phone. It really affected the button responsiveness, so I trimmed it with an x-acto knife (while it was on the phone). Buttons work great now. Protectors really seem to...

    HTC One: This is THE BUG Thread.

    Re: This is THE BUG Thread. Ditto on the capacitive button sensitivity. Both home and back take an extra tap or two at times. Also they don't always backlight properly. Otherwise this is the most solid Android experience I've had. Loving this phone.

    Good news for BB pre orders!

    I've had really good luck with Squaretrade on warranties. You can buy anytime within 30 days after phone purchase. PAy all at once or monthly. One of the things I like with them is you can cancel and they will prorate what you paid. So if you sell your phone, you can get a refund for the unused...

    Visual voicemail

    Or just download it to your phone from the xda page directly from your phone. It'll download and you can open it directly from the notification that it has finished downloading. Worked great for me that way.

    Signal Drop?

    Interesting it happened several times to me today. And I had no issue where even though I showed 4 bars and said I was connected to the network, I couldn't pull down any data, connect to websites, etc, even with restarting the phone. First time that had happened. I was in a location I don't...

    Frustrating thumb typing not recognizing (Any advice?)

    I had similar problems with we on the HTC keyboard, but downloaded ics keyboard and haven't had the problem with it. I think it has to do with the narrowness of the keys on the HTC board.

    A farewell to a Pre.

    I'm on the fence I'm on the fence. Keep hoping Palm/HP will get their act together and come up with new hardware. Actually overclocked @1ghz, the phone's not half bad. I came to the Pre from a MT3G. I like android, and maybe with 3.0 it will be as elegant as webOS. I'd like to see Sprint...
