Bought an s5 on Craig's List a few weeks ago. The guy (now creep) told me there was nothing wrong with the phone. In fact the phone works fine except I was unable to install an update. Spoke to the Samsung rep at Best Buy and he informed me that somebody rooted the phone. I would like to...

Of course, swapping the SIM card is an option but it isn't very convenient.

I have had several large smartphones and prefer the larger screens. I currently have a Galaxy S5. However, often, especially on weekends or evenings, I wish I could easily, simply, quickly, switch to a smaller phone (like a Palm Pixie). There are times when you just don't want the weight and...

Is there a similar procedure for T-Mobile?

In general I really like the Nexus 4 but I am having weak or greatly fluctuating wifi and cell signals. I have compared the signal strength in numerous locations where I used my One S and my wife's S2. In almost every location, the Nexus 4 signals are weaker or non-existent. Any thoughts...

I purchased a black, leather-like Targus case, made for Kindle Fire, for $10 at Target. It is snug but works GREAT. Looks great.

It is a T-Mobile software issue! I have experienced it with 3 phones, including the S II and the One S. Calling CS is a waste of time, they either can't afford or won't fix it. I have had a couple CS people own up to the truth about the problem, that is, that it isn't your phone. If you...

Costco's 90 day return policy is unbelievable! I picked up the S2 during the Valentines Day promo and now I am planning to exchange for the One S unless the S 3 miraculously goes to T-Mobile (and Costco) before my 90 day return window closes. Plus Costco didn't charge me activation fees. I...

I am in the same boat. For some reason The AC boys don't want t weigh in on this. I have asked the same question twice with no response. For T-mobile folks it is a big deal since the S2 had been the "flagship" prior to the One S. From what I have been able to gleen here and elsewhere, it...

HTC One S, Nexus, S2 or wait for the S3?

On February 11 I bought new T-Mobile SIIs for my wife and I at Costco. It was a pre-Valentine's Day promotion costing $0 for the phones after rebates. I spoke to Costco and they said all I need to do is bring the SIIs in and pick up the One Ss. What do you think? Should I keep the SIIs? Or...

N1 has potential but there is next no CS support Unless you are a full blown geek, you may want to wait a while to purchase this device. Not that there are serious deal breaker issues. Its just that if you are like most people, when you have a problem you call the carrier and most of the time...

No Overnight Shipping Here I ordered my N1 yesterday (1/5) about 3:00 pm est, expecting to have it overnighted, as promised by Google. Just got my shipping notice stating that it was shipped today (1/6), not yesterday and would arrive tomorrow (1/7). Real bummer since I already arranged to...
