    Finally did it!!

    Since my refurb Inc only gets a three month warranty, I was going to wait til the end of it to try rooting, but I got antsy one month in and decided to jump in. I followed the guide here, which made things super easy, minus a few kerfluffles since some things show differently in Windows 7 than...

    New Replacement Phone On Its Way Help Me Save My Data Please!

    The absolute best method I found is MyBackUp Pro. You can save EVERYTHING to an SD card (or online but there's less space). Your texts, contacts, pictures, apks of apps so you can bypass the redownloading of them from the Market, etc. It's the first app I've ever paid for and unfortunately...

    Verizon Refurb HELL

    The SD card is completely unreadable on any device, otherwise I would reformat it. I get the same error message when putting it into the old phone and when I put it in my computer, it only showed up as a drive once and every time I plug it in to my computer, it freezes explorer. It has been...

    How to remove people from a family plan?

    We actually ended up (as per a VZW rep's advice), reporting the husband's phone as lost/stolen so he can't use it anymore and activated a dumbphone for my dad to use. The other line is a dumphone already, so it's cheaper right now to allow them to keep that one, but as soon as we can ditch it...

    How to remove people from a family plan?

    My mom and I have an issue with two members of our family share plan. They just joined in the February billing cycle, so their first bill was obviously going to be crazy high. They were warned, especially as they didn't take my advice and billed $317 to our account for two phones, one smart, one...

    Does anyone recommend buying from Best Buy

    I can't give you any experiences, but I do know if they told you they cover lost/stolen devices, this is a lie. Water is also tricky; they may or may not cover it if the device was fully submerged. I personally have the BB insurance because I'd rather not pay a deductible and get a refurbished...

    Case Suggestions?

    Try a search on Amazon or Ebay for TPU cases. They're a mix between silicone and plastic and protects much better than any case I've ever encountered. My iPod practically bounces every time I drop it, no damage at all, and my Incredible just got its TPU case today.
