    I have a pet peeve

    I might be crazy or dumb. However, quite often when I pickup my phone. It seems to go into manage panels mode. I understand an easy solution is to not grab it by the screen. But it happens too often. Now I would have thought there would be a lock mode setting for the "manage panels mode". To no...

    Not charging with car charger

    My Phone is not a LG, however it's not charging at all in the car. On ac everything is fine. In the car, barely makes a connection with wiggling the wires around might show a charge. But the battery doesn't charge. Same chargers charge everything else. Weird. The duck

    Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread aka Sprint Spark

    Re: Official Sprint Tri-Band LTE Phone Discussion Thread aka Sprint Spark That's a valid point. However, I'm back on the two band S3. And it's doing much better in reception. I've recently tried both Verizon and t-mobile. Both work very well in my area. And regarding the restocking fee would...
