    Using Landline Telephone Recorder Adapter and Recording into Android Phone?

    I see what you're saying here but don't the headphones that are bundled with the phone have a built in mic that takes the signal in from the 3.5mm jack

    Using Landline Telephone Recorder Adapter and Recording into Android Phone?

    I recently purchased VEC TRX-20 3.5MM Direct Connect Telephone Record Device (ADAPTER ONLY) I am trying to record straight in to my phone via the 3.5mm line-in. (Samsung Galaxy S6) It is possible to use a regular old digital recorder or tape recorder. That is how it is primarily used. But...

    Connecting and using a USB Digital Microscope

    I am trying to use a USB Digital Microscope (Carson Zorb) Phone is Samsung Galaxy S6. Bought an OTG cable. When I plug the camera/OTG cable into the phone, the microscopes LED lights up, but I have not been able to view it on my phone screen. I have the app "USB Camera Trial", not sure if...

    Insurance Through Verizon, Or Samsung Protection Plus?

    Recently picked up S6. Have always had insurance, as I am pretty rough on phones, and always had this coverage through Verizon (with Asurion or whoever, I don't even know this time), for lost/ damaged phones. I am notorious for shattering my phones glass. There is a $150(?) deductible for...

    Car Ran Over My Phone!

    (Galaxy S3) Car ran over phone. Screen is obviously shattered. I need to recover what is on the phones memory by any means if at all possible. Specifically, a text conversation between a contractor and I, regarding an issue that may need to be resolved in court. This is not on the SD card, it's...

    Dropped Phone - Turns On, Responds - But Black Screen

    Thanks. I've replaced the glass probably about 5 times on this phone (not because I'm reckless with them- maybe I am actually- but I think mainly because the glass I get online is cheaply made). From just a quick look, it seems like a digitizer is about $65... I'd almost rather just go through...

    Dropped Phone - Turns On, Responds - But Black Screen

    Dropped my phone (S3) from about 4ft up onto a driveway. Screen was not broken. Tried to turn phone back on, but screen stays black. No backlight. It still responds to touch, as I can answer a call (from knowing where the button is). What is it likely to be?

    Verizon Device Swap Question - Father's Day Present

    I guess nevermind... I called Verizon to try and hook up a S3 to the line, but they said I would have to purchase another plan because they could not hookup a smartphone to the plan.... So, what was the point of having unlimited data if you can't have a phone that uses data (to a useful extent)?

    Verizon Device Swap Question - Father's Day Present

    Thanks everyone! Cool community :) Turns out I found a Galaxy S4 on craigslist for $200! As long as that doesn't turn out to be a bust. If it does, am I reading right that the Moto G is ONLY for pre-paid plans? Btw What do I need to do to make sure I don't get $crewed with the craigslist deal...

    Verizon Device Swap Question - Father's Day Present

    See, that's what I was worried about and why I came here- For example, if Opera (which reflows text and that's a must) needs a recent version of Android's OS, then that wouldn't work. His plan is weird. He has two other lines, both on the same plan... but the one he uses is on it's own plan...

    Verizon Device Swap Question - Father's Day Present

    Semi-newb with super basic question just don't want to purchase wrong device... TL;DR Is there any real limitation to using the LG Revolution over the S3 for someone who just wants to surf, share pics, eBay, etc.? Hi, want to bring my dad into the current decade and upgrade his Verizon phone...

    HTC Evo Will Not Start

    The phone ran out of battery last night. Put it on charger, was tired, didn't bother turning on. Was charging all night and tried to power on this morning.... The phone doesn't get past the point where it displays 4G in the middle of the screen. It plays the little tune and then repeats that...
