Hmm, I had a rooted T-Mobile V10 with an unlocked bootloader that I was using on AT&T and I never had a problem with Bluetooth. Audio streaming to my car radio with ID and to my headset was perfect as were the hundreds of file transfers I performed. I never received an OTA update. Bluetooth was...

^^^ This reminded me, I don't like that the notification icons disappear when the lock screen comes on. I wouldn't have to bring up the lock screen to unlock the phone and check for notifications if the backlight of the highly advertised second screen wouldn't dim so much that I can't see it...

I don't like that it forgets my fingerprint. That's the only way I can describe it. Unlike some (most?) others, using the phone in (any) case has never posed an immediate problem with the fingerprint sensor. Enrolling my fingerprint takes about ten seconds. Keeps for about three days and then...

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem I used that phone for another year or so and it never gave me another problem. It wasn't fixed until I sent it away and had the power switch replaced. I still have it as a backup phone and it really is a great phone even today. My problem had nothing to do with...

To stop the auto-update: Go to phone 'Settings' Go to 'Language and input' Tap the gear icon next to 'Google voice typing' Tap 'Offline speech recognition' Select the AUTO-UPDATE tab. Select your preferred auto-update behaviour on that tab. Alternatively, if you have the Google Settings...

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem The only problem I have heard with a phone making or receiving calls or acting erratically was because of the use of a not original phone charger.

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem If you read the thread, you will find that the vast majority of people's problems were solved by the replacement of the power switch. For a few, cleaning the switch contacts solved the issue but some of these people ultimately had to replace the power switch to...

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem Have the power switch replaced. You may be able to get away with having it cleaned only. A couple of outfits are mentioned in this thread that can do this on a send-away basis. There may be someone local to you. I sent my phone to Cell Phone Repair Pros; they are...

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem See my above quoted post. The repair lasted all of the way until I upgraded last weekend to the S4 Active. Cell Phone Repair Pros worked for me.

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem I couldn't even complete any update because the phone would boot in the middle of the update. At one point I thought it was bricked but I had the stock ROM and was able to restore it with my brother's help. Since the power button has been replaced I've had zero...

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem Well, to add a litle more background, my problem happened with both the original GB software and the official ICS upgrade. I elected against the motherboard replacement and sent it to Cell Phone Repair Pros. For $60 they replaced the power button and so far it is...

Re: Wierd Shut-off problem I, too, have this problem. My screen flashes between screen off and screen lock. The power menu appears and disappears; sometimes the phone reboots by itself. Sometimes it just shuts off and starts vibrating once every second until I pull the battery. Sometimes it...
