If you keep your brightness set to Auto all the time, you can simply set the slider all the way to the brightest setting (which will have no effect since you're on Auto), and then when you want maximum brightness simply swipe down the notification bar and uncheck the Auto box. Then do the same...

If you've only had the phone a few days you're probably still eligible to get a SquareTrade warranty which I believe will replace the phone free of charge, even if it gets physically damaged. I would not want to dry it out and reuse it, because no matter how much alcohol you wipe on it, I'm...

Re: help please since upgrade I can't text Yeah quite a few users are upset they took aeay the mobile data button. They said yesterday that the 4.4 update should be out in less than a month, so wait to see if it is returned. I hope it is. Call and complain about it to encourage them to bring...

Okay, the reason your Union County Courthouse destination went to Web search is either because there are multiple Union County Courthouses in the map database, and it didn't know which one you wanted, or the name wasn't exactly like that in the database. Usually when I am going to someplace...

Did you use the "navigate" command when doing it verbally? If you say "find" instead of navigate, it usually goes to the Web. Also, if it can't understand what you're saying (lots of background noise from the stereo and or windows down), it will do a Web search for the misunderstood name. I...

Re: Downgrade back to 4.2.2? True, not a big problem, but it is a bit annoying when I'm out in the sun and can't see the screen real well to begin with, and then it goes black and a simple man like me doesn't know if it's just a really dark postmodern Web site that some Cali company threw...

"sounds like they need to get everyone on the same dang page" ...I would settle for the same dang language. I am delling you dat if you are wanting do use Ravadam Patel for tech support, at least make sure he can be speaking de English as well as a native speaker, my friend.

Re: Downgrade back to 4.2.2? Forgot to mention that I also noticed a blackout problem with Chrome after updating. Not sure if anyone else has seen it, but when I have more than 2 tabs open, sometimes the data screen part of the screen will go black until I touch it. The Chrome status bar and...

Re: Downgrade back to 4.2.2? I too would like to roll back to 4.2 to recover the Mobile Data toggle. After the update, I didn't notice any improvements, but I did lose 2 or 3 of the features I use most. It should be simple enough to reinstall 4.2 if someone finds a copy of it somewhere, just...

The entire United States down to foot trails will fit on a 4.7gb DVD (I have one), so the whole country could easily be preloaded on a 16 or 32gb device, or an SD card. The REAL reason they don't want you to do that is that you will use less of your data package if you do. They eliminated the...
