Searches indicated the issue was specific to Verizon. Others reported exactly the same issue I'd been experiencing: a few words would be recognized but when I paused just for a second, either recognition would stop or everything typed would be deleted and replaced by my next words. Today, I got...

A case is an absolute MUST! I felt very uneasy holding it before I got a Spigen "case". It's just a slim, hard rubber slip-on but has edges raised enough to somewhat protect the screen. Only costs a couple of $, it should come with one. Haven't really found the edge display useful. Much...

Voice typing used to work well but recently, no matter what the app, it tracks about 3 words then stops. Any suggestions on what I can check?

This method worked for me, thanks! I was logged in to the S5 phone but had forgotten my fingerprint backup password. Finger scans were working for screen locks but after a power cycle it always asks for the backup password if set for unlock via fingerprint scan, what a PITA! I first made sure I...

I have a Galaxy tab 7" GT-P3113 running Android 4.1.1, Kernel ver 3.0.31-523998, build JRO03C.P3113UECLK7. When I connect it to a USB port of my HP laptop running WIndows 7 X64, sometimes the MTP driver loads and I can access files from Windows but most often it fails. This seems to have...

Really? That seems a bit steep and the battery life on mine is awful.

Ok, thanks. The vzw rep said the same thing about checking MEID before buying a 3rd party phone. If the cost diff was small, I'd buy pre-owned through Vzw but they want almost double the going price. So, which one of these for under $200 would you choose? Buy and sell Verizon > Swappa

hmmm, swappa looks interesting, thanks for that link. I just had another conversation with Verizon at at least we got the BB Storm II data side working (still need to get rid of it asap tho'...). The rep said they could sell a pre-owned LG Lucid w/ICS & 1 yr warranty for $170. that's $70+ more...

I'm looking to spend $150 or so. GS3's look to be over $200 and I don't see the HTC One X+ for Verizon on ebay. Something a bit lower on the "ladder" perhaps. Also, I've never bought a phone this way before. Will I have to buy a new SIM card? I see some sellers say the phones have no SIM.

I need to get a new smartphone for my wife. Her previous basic phone died after the warranty expired but she's still locked into a Verizon contract until 3/2014. I have a Galaxy Nexus provided by my employer (also Vzw but on their corp plan). When my wife's phone died, I activated an old BB...
