    Any cure for Emergency Alerts false alarms?

    For about a month now I have been getting the blarring tones and the urgent text message that a tornado is in my area and to take cover immediately! Of course this happens on sunny clear days when there are not clouds. I like getting emergency alerts when there are actual tornados in the...

    Screen flickering/Bad redraws after JB from Verison - Anyone else?

    Got JB on Friday morning. Since then I have some screen flickering bad rewriting several times a day. Usually when I am switching from one screen to another. Like from the Home Screen to the Contact List, or from something else to the Home Screen. If I do something to change the screen it...

    Why does brightness get very dim only when using browser?

    Yes, I meant the phone brightness setting. I looked for a brightness setting on the app and didn't find it, where is it??

    Why does brightness get very dim only when using browser?

    My wife's SGS3 has recently started doing something odd. When she launches the internet app (the stock one called "Internet" with the blue globe icon) the pages display VERY dim, like less than 10%. Switch to any other application and display is normal, switch back to browser and it is dim...

    Why does Samsung think we want BLUE or WHITE phones ??????

    EXACTLY!!! And that's why Apple patented the black color, because of it's superior cell radio reception. That's why cell phones have been mostly black all this time.

    Why does Samsung think we want BLUE or WHITE phones ??????

    I AM COMPLETELY ASTOUNDED THAT NO ONE HERE KNEW THIS . . . Apple has a patent on black cellular phones, as well as rectangular phones, and rectanglular phones with rounded corners.

    Android Gmail App not showing pictures embedded in message.

    When I send an email from my desktop computer running Microsoft Outlook, I regularly enbed pictures into the text, so that the pictures go with what I am writing at that particular point.

    No difference between Class 4 an 10 card?

    I think what would be really useful to this discussion is to know what the minimum speed neccessary is to do the "Burst" shots, and to record in HD video, and play back any media. WHAT IF... the top speed required for any function on this phone is only 2 MB/sec, meaning that not only is the...

    Battery Issues....S3/iphone

    You could always get a phone with a much smaller screen that is not as high resolution and not as bright. Also if this other phone had fewer applications and a lot less flexiblility for working with other apps that would probably help. Also, a thicker phone with more room for battery. Perhaps an...

    S3 Complaints Big is Not Better

    To the original poster: Sorry if some of the responces here seem a little harsh. I too have bought things after testing them and finding them to be what I wanted, only to later, after much more real world use, found that they were not what I thought they would be. So now you are left with a.)...

    Can I configure Gmail in Android to recieve emails on wi-fi access when cellular is unavailable

    OK, I looked at this, and I think you are right, it only syncs manually, and you'd need tasker or something like tasker but free, to have this do what I need it to do. I'm holding out for something that can launch a manual sync every minute only when I am at work. Or better yet, I'm hoping...
