    Best Android Phone for ~$350?

    My Galaxy S4 is about 4 years old and is one sick puppy... often slow, with freaky lockups and bizarre behavior. I've been slowly disentangling a ton of contacts duplicated between my phone and Google (don't ask) for the purpose of doing a full reset. I'm currently with Verizon but I want to...

    Can a foreign phone be used in the US?

    But if I buy a new Motorola X Pure, Motorola simply sticks a SIM card in it that's compatible with Verizon, right? They're not going to sell me a phone that only works with Verizon, right!?!?? If true, how is the Russian phone different from the Moto X Pure? Thanks for the replies.

    Will my fiancee's Russian Galaxy S5 work in the US?

    My fiancee is coming to the US with her brand new "Russian" Galaxy S5. Will this work with Verizon? The phone has two SIM card slots. This is my second time posting this because there is no trace of my first post of this question. This time I checked the help box.

    S4 flash out of sync with camera

    Seems like me and the OP are the only ones on the planet to suffer from this. I've had this problem for the entire 4 (?) years I've owned my Galaxy S4 through every OS upgrade. I simply can't use the flash on my phone because of this. I tried resetting the camera settings as someone suggested...

    Looking for a simple weather forecast widget

    Anyone know where I can get a simple 3x1 or 5x1 weather forecast widget showing weather for the next 3 or 5 days and THAT'S ALL. The smaller the footprint the better as that is all I need. And nothing that's related to Amber Weather. Everything I find is overkill overkill for me.

    Clock and widgets display wrong time?

    That's what did it for my friend's phone. She didn't have Automatic Time Zone checked. Her system time was fine but the clock/weather widget was exactly 7 hours early. I don't understand how a phone's system time can be wrong. The signal comes right from the tower. If my S4's system time was...

    Android Lollipop SUCKS!

    I got the Lollipop update a few months back on my Verizon Galaxy S4. Since then, my phone's been a joke. I randomly get a corrupted keypad on my lock screen - the digits are garbage. On a couple of apps, there are some text-related problems. But what's fun is when, after I boot, my display is...

    Chromecast: Error 16003 while playing Netflix

    I got the 16003 error. I set my tablet to automatic time. That alone didn't work. But as soon as I cleared Netflix' application data, I was golden. What a vicious error! I never suspected I was one of many with the problem!
