Finally getting around to checking into this on my S5 running Marshmallow...found this old thread. Is there any new info on getting this problem fixed? I can't rely on the phone to promptly notify me of an event that I've entered in the calendar. The AT&T techs did a serious deep dive with...

Thanks...I figured it had something to do with signal strength. I wonder why the phone worked fine in my office for the month of January and then started this decline. BTW...the reason that the battery life goes down is what I've heard...the phone software tries hard to find a tower and so...

I thought I might ask some questions about battery life after looking around the forum. Got an S5 late December. I actually like the battery life...was only loosing about 15% per day...I'm not really that big of a user. But recently, something changed, and at work, I'd loose 30-40% (logged...

My understanding is that the Vivid is older hardware and Jelly Bean wasn't going to be pushed to it. ICS is as far as it will go. Kurt

Turn power off and on? I was having problems receiving attachments on my texts (pictures, etc.) and called 611. The first thing they said was turn it off and on. I had not done that for 3-4 weeks, just charging in between. It seems that they need to be power cycled once in a while, to clear...

Tabs and bookmarks are different things in my book. Bookmarks are your favorites...one click takes you to that particular website. If you decide to go to another bookmark, the first website is replaced with the new one...no tabs are created. Tabs or additional websites are created when you...

A7X - Just bouncing along...stock Vivid and all. My head swims when you guys talk about all these other phone changes...yikes! Maybe I'll learn something over time. Kurt

You two guys need to get a room! LOL!! Kurt

I just tried to do that on my Vivid. I cannot find anyway to close the tabs without the soft keys. What about turning the phone completely off and back on? Surely, the phone won't remember all the tabs being open. What about removing the battery for 10-15 seconds? Some websites open links...

What don't you understand? Why there is a limit? The software developers had to set some limit on the number of tabbed windows that could be open...they chose a total of 6 windows. How to delete tabs? That has been discussed several times in previous posts. The reason that tabbed windows...

The manual says 1) tap the Apps button at the bottom of the screen and then select Messages; 2) tap the + sign to begin composing the message; 3) enter a contact in the TO field; and 4) to send messages to multiple people, tap the silhouette of a person to the right of the screen. From there...

I used google to translate from Russian: "hello ... I ask to prompt me to my problem ... I have a HTC Vivid Androyd 4.0.3 .... I pulled out the battery without turning off the phone, not for the first time, but after this time but when I tried to turn appears on the screen on HTC and not loaded...

Does it not connect to the one WiFi (home?) but connects to others? During the scanning process and then when you it starts to process, do you see "Obtaining IP address...."? Also, is the SSID for your WiFi network set to display or is it hidden? If it is hidden, you have to manually go...

My guess is that since the Vivid didn't get Jellybean, I really doubt it will get KitKat. It's not just about the software update...the software has to work with the hardware that's on the phone. I suspect the Vivid is just too old in terms of hardware so it would probably have too many...

Comparing the two usage screens, it would seem that your Screen On time is chewing up power...you'll need to find ways to keep that off. I don't use my phone as a radio...presumably that's the 3G radio you're talking about...maybe that has a screen function that doesn't turn off. I noticed you...
