    Did I fry my battery

    Are you leaving WiFi on all the time? There's an issue with WiFi DHCP service running and draining the battery excessively. I had it on my phone, so I made a widget on the home screen to toggle WiFi on and off if I notice my phone lagging or draining too quickly. I also wanted to note that I...

    Phone sluggish and unresponsive, battery wears out quickly: dhcpcd using majority of battery

    Has anyone else experienced this issue with their S3 on stock JB? There's no way to shut off this process since it is apparently part of the system, but it is causing a major problem.

    WORD files on the n7

    I looked through all the office style apps and decided on Kingsoft Office. The fact that it is free worried me, but so far so good. I just can't find the option to double-space a document. Kingsoft will allow you to open and edit, as well as email docs.

    Firmware update OTA for VZW GSIII?

    I think I got an OTA update when I first took my "updated"* S3 out of the box at first. I'm not sure what it did though. * it came with an "updated" sticker on the screen film and box

    Best time to get S3 is now?

    I was faced with: A) Take home the blue one now B) Wait a few days for white I had to wait a few days I don't understand why they made one of only 2 colors to choose from that blue color... I just don't dig it. I could see it if they offered black, red, etc. as well
