That is called short battery life. It occurs on the Inspire. Nothing is wrong.

Either: 1. The OP is lying 2. The OP really doesn't turn off the radios like he says he does. 3. He has brightness at 100 and no screen timeout 4. Malicious app.

How did it shatter? It has Gorilla Glass, which is lamented. It would crack, but not actually shatter. Could be a defect.

Hold the phone steadier,

Almost nothing. I have 200 MB a month, and GV so far has used about 2 MB on mobile data and 8.4 MB on wifi. That is with about 200-400 texts sent and received.

None! SMS and regular cell phone transmissions are not encrypted, nor will any app do that. You would need to buy a military grade phone to do that. Sure, you can password protect your SMS, but not encrypt it. That would also go against FCC rules.

Are you sure? It says that the lower the filter, the less stable the connection.

Downloaded GPS Status. When I go to work, I will see how it helped. I set filtering to LOW.

Sure, but you still need the data to download the map. So, if there is no map loading, then there is the problem. Otherwise, it could be that the GPS is just timing out or that it is polarized to a certain direction. Trying pointing it in another direction maybe?

Nice idea, but currently there is no hardware for cellphones to communicate directly with one another other than bluetooth. Wifi would not work, as a phone cannot send wifi outward, only accept wifi from a source. Of course you are thinking: "My phone has a Wifi hotspot!" Well, that requires a...
