I just got back from the store. I stopped by the phone store and they fixed it. They didn't seem to be sure what it was, they disabled a bunch of things and said it was likely Shazam. Thanks for the description. I'll make sure to remember for next.

What's an NFC?

My minutes ran out on my phone. I use Tracfone and this is a Verizon LG G5 phone I got from my father. I have been using it a few months without issue. My account expired at the beginning of this month, and I finally got more minute today. I activate my phone without issue and everything...

I got this app and it spams me with sound notifications constantly of new remails. How do I disable the email notification of this thing?

Re: Constant discovery ding. I found it. It's under adanced setting in wifi and is called Network Notification: Notify me when an open network is available. It took me a while to find advanced settings for wifi as I was expecting to find it on the screen, but it was umder the option bars...

Re: Constant discovery ding. This is driving me nut! Anyone have any idea what's going on?

Constant discovery ding. Everytime I drive around I constantly get a discovery ding. I assume it is discovering wi-fi connections all over the place and it just keeps going off constantly while driving. It's fine when I get home. If this is true, then how do I disable it. I see nothing...

I did a cold boot and all seems fine for now. Maybe that cleared the cache as well?

I have had my Alcatel OneTouch Pop Icon for about 3 months now (Tracfone) and it has been getting slower and slower over the months to where it now laggs so bad nothing happens or it takes a few seconds or more to register. Usually registers multiple times. I notice my data usage has been high...

How can I verify if my phone is actually unlocked? I asked Verizon and they said they didn't see that it was locked to any carrier, but they didn't say if it was unlocked or not.

It would be much easier to swap screens than motherboards. If you need to swap boards, then you'll need to swap the stickers for serial numbers and other info.

I was given a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 by a friend to get working on my TracFone service. Here's some history of what I've done so far. My friend took the phone to Verizon after he deactivated his service as he couldn't access his phone to transfer data to his new iPhone 5. He says Verizon...

Re: Unlock Verizon gs4 I type the number from the dial phone number menu and nothing happens. I even hit the green call button and it just dials it like a normal phone call. Is there something I missed? About phone says I have: Device name: SCHI545 Android: 4.4.2 Base version: I545VRUVNC5...

Okay, I called tracfone again today and now I'm more confused than ever. Although, they did say the galaxy s4 would work and the IMEI code is fine. however, she did say I need a, "Network Access Code". Is this the unlock code? Or uis this a completely different code?

Can you recommend a reliable unlock company? There are so many and different prices. One want $80! Also, when I activated the phone the Tracfone people wanted the MEID off the phone, but it has a IMEI number instead, will this matter?
