Yes, I did. I had a SanDisk card and it failed (actually two of them). I bought a Samsung card and got a warranty on it just to be safe. So far so good!

My second SanDisk card failed last week. 32GB worked for about 5 months no problem then just suddenly died. I only have my music on it which is backed up so no great loss other than the cost of the card. Pretty annoying though. This time I bought a Samsung card with a warranty from Micro Center...

I will be traveling internationally next month and I already ordered a SIM card with data to be delivered upon my arrival. I want to use my phone and the data plan I purchased to tether my iPad. With so many apps out there each with reviews saying they work and don't work I have no idea what to...

Until now I have been runing around with a fairly insecure GS3 because I did not like the lock screen functionality. After a friend's phone was stolen I decided to change that and lock my phone. The problem is that I am not happy with the way Android does this. I prefer a 4 digit pin like iPhone...

Yes the iPhone has a navigation app, and now that Google maps is back on the iphone, it has a great map app. Based on your description of your wife, if she uses iPhoto and iTunes, get the iPhone. No doubt about it, she will be much happier. If she uses the google eco system for music and photos...

I just noticed that my WiFi is staying on while the phone is asleep. I checked and rechecked (and changed and change back) the settings for WiFi to be OFF whenever the phone is asleep but to no avail. Any ideas? I think this may be what has caused my battery performance to degrade ever since...

I would like to add one item to the iPhone pro list. The Apple eco system. If you already have/use it you will miss it on an S3. Yes, there are workarounds on the S3 but they are far from being as seamless as on an iPhone. Specifically, iTunes (along with its smart playlists and genius play)...

I don't know, my iPhone also took better pictures than my current S3. I'm not switching back because when I care about a picture I take my camera. However it was nice being able to get great pictures from my iPhone. Just this morning I took a picture out my window with my S3 to show a colleague...

Android File Transfer for the Mac no longer recognizes that the phone is connected via USB cable :-(

I'm hoping someone can help me. I installed goSMS and like most of its features, but a critical one is not working right. Many times I am not at my phone when a message comes in so I MUST have the notification show up on the lock screen. Ideally it would show the message like an iPhone, but I...

It is important to choose GOOGLE SEARCH not "the google app" because the google app brings up voice dialing not Google Now

4.1.1 is out, but the only feature I cared about, google now does not seem to be well integrated. I was hoping google now would replace s-voice, but that is not the case. Is there any way to force this. Primarily bring up google now instead of s-voice when you double tap the home button.

I'm have the stock MMS app on my S3. It's great and meets all my needs except for one thing. Pictures always come in as video which can not be resized. If it use the option to save the picture it saves as a jpeg and it can open and zoom in using gallery. However if want to be able to do this...

Ok my bad I have power amp and wrote the message because I was frustrated with it not doing items listed. I have since found that it does do everything other than smart play lists. Someone should tell the developer that the app is not intuitive! SEARCH should be at the top of any list and...

Please help. I have tried several and even paid for power play but I'm missing some features I really need First, I copied my iTunes folder to an sd card which is in the phone. My requirements are in order 1) can control via blue tooth stop play forward backward 2) when I select an artist...
