    Sudden Battery Drain

    Update (possible resolution for me?) I uninstalled a bunch of the the stuff that came with 4.1.2 (namely all the Google stuff, e.g. Google Play Magazines, Books, Movies, Music) as well as a few other updates (Kies, Samsung Push, and a couple others) found simply through Application Manager...

    Sudden Battery Drain

    I am also having severe battery issues after the last update. I believe it's definitely due to some communication or GPS in the background. Try putting the phone into Airplane mode -- this disables all the radios -- and watch how much longer your battery lasts. I mean, I can literally use my...

    YouTube only works on WiFi, error: "Connection to server lost" on mobile

    Thank you so much!! This worked. Note: my phone asked for an MSL code and it wasn't 000000, but actually another # that I had gotten from my carrier support (I'm actually on CREDO mobile, which uses Sprint networks). I knew it had something to do with these settings as I had problems with MMS...

    SMS only sends first 160 characters, the rest is lost.

    Thanks, chomp SMS seems like a good alternative so far. I noticed it mentioned advertisements, but I haven't seen any yet. Are they going to suddenly start popping up in the middle of my messages or something?

    YouTube only works on WiFi, error: "Connection to server lost" on mobile

    Actually these problems began when I did a factory reset :X I think rooting the phone in the first place screwed up a lot of stuff, because certain things don't get reverted even with a factory reset, like APN settings for example.

    All text messages from iPhones arrive as MMS for some reason

    Hi, Not sure what's up with this problem but every time I get a text from an iPhone, it comes as MMS, though there is no attachment (it appears as an audio or blank video recording of 2-3 seconds in length though). Has anyone encountered this and know of a solution?

    SMS only sends first 160 characters, the rest is lost.

    Hi, Ever since the last Android update, I've only been able to send 160 character limited texts. That is, the first 160 characters gets sent, but anything beyond that is just lost. The message does send successfully. Can anyone help me fix this? I'm running a stock Galaxy S3.

    Swype problem after Android 4.0.1 -> 4.1.1 update, won't let me edit words in certain input boxes

    I'm not 100% certain it started happening after the 4.1.1 update but I believe so. The behavior is as follows: using Swype on certain input boxes (like commenting on m.facebook.com in the browser for example), if I enter a word (and mistype it for example) and hit space, if i try to backspace...
