    Galaxy S4: Major problem - SIM card not detected

    This happened to my spouse's S4. To test the SIM card we swapped SIMs. The message didn't appear on my phone, but it did pop up on his again while using my card. So that ruled out the SIM. Then we did a full wipe of his phone - the message popped up again. Finally I pushed down on the metal...

    Sprint Customers: Evo LTE or Samsung S3

    Waited until I could have both phones in hand at the Sprint store. Was leery of Samsung for many of the same reasons mentioned before...had the 1st gen EVO before my Photon and loved it (except that I had to carry a spare battery with me at all times). So...ended up with the SG3 and so far am...

    Spam in notification bar

    For me it was FasterPin - for Pinterest users. The detector app found it, I deleted it.

    Should I get a Photon and sell my OG Evo 4g?

    Another vote here for the Photon. Loved my Evo but not the weight of it nor the way it went through battery, although mine was tweaked enough that battery life was just at "acceptable". Love, love, LOVE my Photon and chose it over the Evo 3D and the Samsung Galaxy 2. I do miss flashing ROMs -...

    Photon LED (using Light Flow) after OTA update

    This is a cross-post from another Android support forum that I also posted to the Motorola forum and another Android forum - Problems with Motorola Photon after update ...see post#43. For those of you who can't get to the link: The original topic was battery life. Another app appeared to be...

    Damage Control: From 2.08 to 2.09?

    Yeah, I went to take a look again and found the drama. So I guess I'll wait awhile before I do anything. Checked out an Evo yesterday but not sure I will bite - it's beautiful, but (like an iPhone) form factor too large for my taste. Maybe I will change my mind when 4G comes to our area this...

    Damage Control: From 2.08 to 2.09?

    I'm running Damage Control 2.08 (not 2.08.1) and am very, very happy with my Hero. Sprint released their 2.1 update and my understanding is that the good folks at Damageless have based their latest 2.09 on Sprint's new 2.1, adding their own tweaks. Even after reading the changelog, I'm...

    Small calendar widget that will correctly show all-day events?!

    Have you tried Calendar Pad? All day events display correctly (although you need to make sure that All Day events are set up that way when you create appointments). I especially like the Week View and the Day Pop Up option (Settings>Day Type View>Popup day view).

    I'm happy with Sprite - used it with WinMo and now have it installed on my Hero.

    Wow, Verizon FTW.

    When we moved into this house we found that the coverage was terrible. We called Sprint to complain, they advised that they were in the process of upgrading the nearest tower. They committed to letting us out of our contract ETF-free if our coverage did not improve within the next 60 days and...

    Sprint - Extending Contract Incentives

    Cross post from another forum... After reading this link on the $4.99 Sprint fees for accounts with spending limits, I called Sprint at *2 to determine what new fee(s) if any will apply to my account. The rep was very helpful and advised that since I didn't have a spending limit on my line...
