How long will HTC offer to fix this defect for free? Is it only for the first 6 months since you bought it? What if it's over? Would I only be responsible for the cost to ship my phone to them? I'd like to know as in case the listed DIY fixes here don't work, I want to know I have a backup plan...

I guess it's just an inherent problem with metal phones? If Samsung manages to make the battery easily user replaceable on their upcoming metal phones, I'll be impressed.

Just got an M8 (1 cent at Target!) but am having second thoughts since I like to be able to use my devices as long as I want even after I replace it since it can still function as a wifi and media device. I hate the fact the battery is not easily replaceable as that gives the M8 a built in...

I don't use Samsung's music player, I don't think it's even installed in MOAR 6.0. Google Play Music is my preferred music app, is there any way S Voice's Driving Mode can be hacked to use that instead? Ideally I'd like to say Play music in driving mode and have Google Play Music open and...

Let's say someone is selling you what is supposed to be a new battery but it's really an old battery that's just been fully charged. If you are allowed to install it before buying, is there any quick test you can run on the spot before you buy it to test it's a new, fresh battery versus just an...

I'm often shocked at how much of my data an app I'm installing wants access to (ex. a tip calculator wants access to my contacts). Are there any ROMs out there where I can control the data access apps I install are allowed to access? For example, for an app I'm installing that wants access to...

Took a few tries to connect to the wifi but I got it working. Here's my setup: Phone: Sprint S3, stock rom, rooted. TetherApp: WifiTether-TrevE_Mod_11_22_2012_driverReload2 (Version 3.-beta2-modv5***Synergized***) downloaded from link in post #1 of this thread. I kept the setting at their...

Thanks, just what I was looking for. Looks like the free version works over wifi only, you need the pay version if you want to do it over mobile. Any free programs which can do it over mobile? I tried opening the gmail website and loading up the desktop version of the site on my phone to see if...

I have Sprint's S3 (Android 4.1.1). I installed the Google Voice app and I can see my GV texts and VMs within that app. I remember being asked whether I want to make calls with the stock phone or GV, I chose to always use the stock phone since I only plan to make GV calls maybe once or twice a...

Re: Question about autocorrect while texting: Why isn't "Im" automatically fixed to "I'm" Just to update, I found out something interesting. If you use the stock S3 keyboard, but if you swype the example words I listed in my first post rather than type them out, they will be autocorrected to...

Question about autocorrect while texting: Why isn't "Im" automatically fixed to "I'm" I'm the proud owner of a Galaxy S3 thanks to the recent 99 cent promos on Black Friday. It came shipped with Android 4.1.1. It's a huge upgrade from my ancient phone, a Palm Centro circa 2007. However I...
