I don't see a phone out there that has the features I want other than MXPE. I really love the front facing speakers. I like the size, the screen, camera is ok, it's unlocked and I can root it. So, I bought another one and have it sitting in a box in case the first one dies or the battery gets...

Thanks for the tips. I'll try the phone number suggested and if that doesn't work file an FCC complaint. I left Sprint because in my area the network still sucks and I'm a prepaid plan now with excellent coverage for less money. And no femtocell needed anymore.

I cancelled Sprint wireless back in October. Had an Airrave unit (femtocell) which I mailed back to them using one of their mailers and I according to FedEx they received it. I got a bill for $2.60 for the Airrave in November so I called and they said they got the Airrave and all is ok. Got a...

I may buy one as a backup. Can't see any newer phones out there that I would rather have than the X Pure. It's not perfect but it fills all the major check-boxes for me (other than removable battery). I'm really loving the front facing stereo speakers. Not something I would have looked for...

An older version (pre- 4.0) of ES File Explorer is still a good option. Easy to find and side-load older versions if you so desire. I still run an older version and love it. Agree that the newer versions are crap. Same thing happened to QuickPic. Awesome gallery app until Cheetah bought...

First, backup your images to somewhere...cloud or a computer. Second, unmount the card, remove from phone and place in a computer. It may ask you to scan/repair the card...let it do it. You can also run "chkdsk" (assuming Windows) on the card. You can also reformat it if you like (once it's...

This link shows how to do it: How To Move Apps To The SD Card in Android 6.0 Marshmallow | Droid Lessons But I tried it and I don't have the option to move the apps. My SD card is "Portable Storage". I suspect you need to make your SD card "Adoptable Storage" in order to move apps under...

Get the Moto X. Although if you ask this question in the Note 5 forum...you are likely to get a different answer.

The Moto uses an IPS LCD screen which is an "older" technology compared to the AMOLED Samsung uses. The LCD will be brighter and much easier to see outside in the sunlight compared to the AMOLED. But other than the brightness issue, generally speaking, the AMOLED is better as far as gamut...

I'm at 1 hour 40 minutes SOT with 54% battery left. Brightness at 50%.

Depends on how much I use it. Some days I go to bed with 30%. Other days I go to bed with 60%. But I charge it every night so I start the day fresh with 100%. Not many phones out there that can last two days with heavy use. If it's lightly used...many phones can last two days. Now try to...

You seem to have that extra $100 available otherwise you wouldn't be asking this question. So spend that extra money on a phone with the most memory for these reasons: 1. You won't have second guess your rationalization of going with lesser memory. 2. Technology moves so fast that it's usually...

Assuming it was not set to "Internal Storage"...you can put the card in a computer to see if that would read it. If the card was set as "Internal Storage" then the data is gone as it was encrypted and you have no way to decrypt it now that the phone was reset. Stick with "Portable Storage".

Not to make excuses for Samsung...but you were an early adopter and I suspect those issues will (eventually) get resolved. Although, as a former Samsung user...they were slow to update.

Yes. You cannot accept any OTA updates. But there will ways to eventually take those updates using other methods.
