    Best clear case

    So I finally made up my mind after more research, I went with the UAG Ice color case. While not completely clear all around, the back does have a nice clear area that gives the phone a two-tone look. I couldn't find a single complaint about these, and after using it for two days now I have to...

    Best clear case

    This review really put me off the spigen cases, https://youtu.be/6Eyz2lo9Q4A?t=2m16s Are all clear cases made from the same polycarbonate material? I guess they will all suffer the same scratching problems if so. The Obliq shown next is also interesting, but I've no use for a kickstand. Looks...

    interesting to know, thanks. Have you done download speed tests comparing your network to see if they are the same?

    The $540 G930F on amazon vs G930A

    I wasn't hot on the idea of bands missing, just wondering if it will result in me noticing any differences if they are missing. Has anyone done speed tests or comparisons? If the phone comes with no warranty, then maybe I am better off buying a $500 used one. after taxes (direct from amazon)...

    The $540 G930F on amazon vs G930A

    hello all, I am unfamiliar with how international versions of a phone works. I currently use AT&T Go Phone which will allow any unlocked phone on their service for the flat $45 a month plan. I am curious what the major differences are between the G930F and the G930A, aside from the obvious...

    Dead battery or Phone? Blue Signals around phone when charging (0%)

    Here's what I see when attempting to charge the phone. Phone ran out of battery today, while on a canoe trip in the water. It had some water drops on it but was never submerged? Phone worked fine until the battery hit 0%. Now I can't get any type of charger to charge it. I don't have the...

    Cracked Screen... Which part to fix it?

    Functionally, it seems to be working just fine. The crack marks seem to just be cosmetic on the top layer. Based on the videos I am seeing online, it looks like just as much of a pain to repair the glass as replacing the whole unit though? Are you really supposed to scrape the old glass off...

    Cracked Screen... Which part to fix it?

    Should I junk this whole phone or try replacing the glass? I have come across two different types of replacement parts... one that is roughly $10 and is called 'outer glass' (ebay item 221814008464) and one that is $100+ (ebay item 321790834893) and has a digitizer and cables hanging off the...

    How to avoid updates on Wifi / 5.0 lollipop?

    I think that 4.4.4 is probably better and more efficient, and it won't waste space of my limited remaining 25gb. Is this a forced update or will I have an option to decline the lollipop update? It seems like I was never offered any choice and it just wanted to start downloading and installing...

    How to avoid updates on Wifi / 5.0 lollipop?

    I just bought a new-in-box galaxy and turned it on/set it up yesterday with service. I have no complains with it. I turned off a setting that disabled automatic updates when connected to wifi. Connected my phone to wifi and the phone started downloading and installing updates for "galaxy apps"...

    Which of these Alpha phones is older?

    I was looking to buy a alpha on ebay and noticed that some had an older "it can wait" campaign slogan sticker on the screen. Curiously, how can I tell which one is the older phone? Does any one know which came first? or maybe is a different version? two pictures below..
