Never heard of this issue. However, have you installed ANY apps recently? Many people overlook the fact that even an unrelated app can cause issues with other phone functions and apps. If you have installed a recent app, try uninstalling it and see if that helps. Otherwise, a factory reset may...

Disable notifications will prevent sounds associated with notifications from playing. You still get the notification, it just doesn't alert you. You might consider disabling the notification LED too. You would be surprised how bright it shines in a dark bedroom. You are welcome, always glad to...

Have you tried simply installing the sd card in the phone and importing the contacts? It's beyond me why you're using a computer. If you format the card, all files will be deleted. If you successfully backed up your contacts, there should be a file on there in .vcf format. Sent from my...

If you don't have a data plan, you must have a feature phone, not a smartphone. MMS does not require a data plan, it's a function of texting. You don't specify how you can't see the message, so it's difficult to offer specific guidance. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

If the card doesn't show up on your computer, it's toast. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

Had same problem recently with maps. Used navigation that day and failed to disable GPS afterwards. After disabling GPS, problem stopped. Left enabled, GPS is used as primary locator function on your device. If indoors, it fails to lock onto a satellite and continues to search, draining battery...

I have visual voicemail through ATT, and the icon for the app displays in the notification bar by default. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central Forums

Have a Captivate that is 3.5 years old, no runs, drips, or errors. S3 is 6 months old, and has no "plastic" issues. I find the whole plastic looks/feels cheap argument to be pretty lame. I don't buy technology to exhibit it in public, and couldn't care less what others think about its looks...
