    Battery life a lot worse..want unroot and restore to factory condit???

    I have noticed my Note 8's battery life has been draining quicker than before. I do have a warranty with Best Buy but I rooted it and although I can remove root, the Device Status shows as custom because I upgraded the FW. Is there any way I can remove this? Will Triangle Away fix this? Any...

    Who is To Blame for giant phones?

    You are right, the current phones with smaller displays have lower specs than bigger displays. I know it's been mentioned before, but as it stands now it sounds like the only phone that would suit you is the Sony Xperia Z1 Compact. It's specs are good. It's screen is 4.3", 20.7 mp camera...

    Huge problems with this phone, Just voicing my problems.

    Thanks. I've been wondering if it could possibly be the sim card. Certainly an easy cheap fix if it works. Thanks, I'll try that next!

    Slow charge? Use a proper charging cable!

    Different question: The supplied LG charging block is 1.8A capable. Is using a charging block that is capable of higher amps of 2.0A be detrimental to the G2? Or will the phone only draw up to it's 1.8A maximum?

    Who is To Blame for giant phones?

    Another point no one seems to have mentioned is that there is a demographic that has not been discussed. People around the age of 40 are experiencing or will experience likely changes to their eyesight mostly to do with close up vision and the need for more light. There is a HUGE amount of...

    LTE calls straight to voicemail.

    I've had this same issue on 2 different phones, Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and LG G2 both running on Rogers Wireless in Canada. I've read various ideas on what could be causing this from the LTE network having issues, sim card problem, a 'bad' app, to the call reject option causing it. I am trying...

    Calls to my S4 going straight to voicemail, text messages only coming through when I'm on the phone

    Okay, I have just turned off call reject in my call settings to see if this fixes it. I have had it happen on 2 different phones, but both have the call reject option. I am on the Rogers Wireless network in Canada and have had this issue on both my Samsung Galaxy Note 3, and my new LG G2...
