    S4 Won't Turn back on after 4.3 Update

    I'm having a similar issue. Got my replacement from VZW, but for some reason all my pictures were saving to the device and not the SD (Shouldn't it have defaulted to SD?). New device works fine but I want to recover pictures from the old one and Odin isn't working for me. Takes me to a...

    Activation Questions Go Here

    The first guy I talked to told me the same thing. I called back and talked to another person (woman) who was super helpful, and activated the sim for me. It took the phone maybe 45 seconds to activate after that. Verizon really screwed the pooch by taking away the ability for the user to...

    Activation Questions Go Here

    If you call the 877 number, tell them to activate your 4G sim card on their end. It is as simple as them typing in the number on the card into a computer.

    Activation Questions Go Here

    The way this works, you must activate the 4G sim card before you can do anything else. If the sim card isn't active, it will just sit there endlessly or ask you to restart. When my wife got her Charge, you could do the activation online through my Verizon, just by entering the number on the...

    "Your order has been shipped."

    If you choose 2 day shipping on a Thursday it's not going to get here until Monday. I figured that was common knowledge. It's 2 business days, not 48 hours.

    Bionic vs Charge?

    My wife has a Charge (wanted to get her on a smartphone plan before the tiered data), and it seems to be a good phone. Battery life is shakey but she's on it constantly. The display is amazing, but it lacks the hardware promised with the Bionic. The advantage, however, is that it's out now, as...

    Samsung event in NY on 8/29 for SGS II

    They could announce it tomorrow if they wanted to. They're not timing the release around this press conference. They're timing the press conference around the release. My point is they had an opportunity to gain market share and they more than likely missed it.

    Samsung event in NY on 8/29 for SGS II

    You're absolutely right. We are the minority. However, we're also the kind of people that buy the latest and greatest as often as we can. We're not the kind of people that hold on to what we have until it breaks. 80% of your profits come from 20% of your customers. Just because a market is...

    Samsung event in NY on 8/29 for SGS II

    Really? Have you been reading the Bionic forums at all? OG Droid launched 21 months ago as of next week. All those people will be eligible for a new phone as of next week. If I'm Samsung, I'd love to take as many of those customers as I can away from Moto. It's basic marketing. Your...

    Samsung event in NY on 8/29 for SGS II

    Or they could do everything the same, release the phone before the Bionic, and get all the people who are just waiting for a dual core LTE phone and don't care what brand it is (assuming the GS2 will in fact be LTE). There is zero advantage to sharing those customers with Motorola.

    They're missing a big opportunity if they don't launch before the Bionic.

    Why give up on the Bionic?

    I just want a dual-core LTE phone, so whichever one comes first, will be the one I buy. It sounded like it was going to be the Bionic for a while now, but if the GS2 is LTE and has AMOLED, sorry Moto. Timing is everything in an industry that moves as fast as this one.

    For Anyone Considering the Charge Over the Bionic

    First of all, I bought my wife a Droid Charge at the end of June so that she would be grandfathered into unlimited data. It is a great phone. It does feel a little cheap compared to the OG Droid (but let's face it, it's built like a brick) and I don't like the fact that it doesn't have a...
