    Why are Samsung Galaxy Players so sought after?

    The quality? It's terrible. It barely gets 328mb of Ram out of the 512 it's supposed to have, the display is barely 480x800 187 ppi ...compared to every other tablet or device out there it's prehistoric. And I bought it last year. It can't do anything without freezing. I just don't get it...

    Why are Samsung Galaxy Players so sought after?

    I am trying to get rid of some gadgets and had bought a "Galaxy Player 5.0" a year ago I barely use it, I have all the gear that it came with and just checked online and there are multiple bids from 145+ for this device. Is that a fluke, why are they so sought after? I could not get it...

    Google Chromecast setup without WiFi?

    I'm trying to figure out if I can buy a friend a Chromecast for Xmas, but here's the catch. He has no wifi connection in his apt. Can it work without wifi? I am not sure his phone has Mobile tethering either. He's addicted to his phone but his "smart TV" has no wifi or LAN connection. I figured...

    New to android - looking for tips

    Could be the battery itself. My Bionic was getting 2 hrs of battery life on its original battery. I bought an aftermarket battery, lasts 18hrs -1 day on it now. Try JuiceDefender too, are you leaving wifi on? or the signal, bluetooth? Juice Defender shuts off wifi and other drainers when the...

    why does GPS not work on Waze app

    It should work in the Waze app, GMaps quits on my all the time while I'm driving and never alerts. I drive down the road and realize it's frozen. Hate GMaps now. Try reinstalling the Waze app, and then writing them on the "ask question" part of the app. Might be a software issue, or your gps...

    If I root Droid Bionic, will it give me access to GSM radio?

    I have this Verizon Droid Bionic I cannot access other GSM networks on its sim. It's a CDMA phone, but it's listed as a "Global" device. If I root this phone, do I have access to turn on the GSM radio to work with other carriers? Or is it hopeless.

    Trouble getting Droid new Service

    Thanks, I've researched until I'm so confused. My issue is also, it says the Droid Bionic is unlocked as a 4g device on Verizon's website. Motorola support says a hard reset would set up the new sim, but not sure on that. I've watched the Bionic to At&T videos but they don't really seem...

    Trouble getting Droid new Service

    I'm sure you guys are flooded with this same question, but you're my only hope at this point. I got a Droid Bionic from a friend because he upgraded and I didn't have a smartphone. At any rate, I've been using it off wifi these past few months. I decided to test the sim, and got a H2o sim for...
