After the update I was shocked how fast my battery went down. I could sit and watch the percentage dwindle. I put a short charge on the phone three different times that first day and was really disappointed. But, I charged it fully, late in the evening and without changing any setting, it is...

Guess I didn't explain it right, sorry. What I want is the "default number" to go away altogether. I have three phone numbers for most contacts. When anyone is put into my favorites list for easy/quick access, if you've chosen a "default number", it is automatically dialed as soon as you...

I suppose I'm not the only person that is irritated that when you have a list of contacts in your Favorites menu, the phone automatically dials the default number you have selected, whether you want to call that number or not! I have re-entered all my contacts without default numbers but now...

Notification Repeat Gone Wild A week ago my Alpha started repeating the Notifications for an incoming emails or completed automatic updates for applications. Every 10 minutes, unless I open any email received or go to the Google Play Store to see which app updated, I get the repeated...

Oh goody! I guess I will be getting a notice that my phone will be paid off, long before it was supposed to be. I balked at the price of over $600 but because I liked the phone, I opted for a plan that just added $20 a month to my bill until it was paid off. I really will stop by AT&T and see...

Strange...... I am running 4.4.4 version and in the Widgets section there is a light bulb icon called "Flashlight". I've looked through every item in the Application Management list and Flashlight is not there so I couldn't uninstall it if I wanted to. I'm sure it is hidden somewhere in the...

I did a search and could find no information helpful in reference to the Alpha. I've seen several reports lately about flashlight apps that contain spyware/malware that send information from your phone to crooks. One video circulating says to do a factory reset on your phone to delete the hidden...

My phone is running 4.4.4. version already but for the last two days, it gave me messages that it was downloading updates. It created no issues and finally in the late afternoon yesterday I got a popup that said the operating system had been updated and would restart in X many minutes. It does...

I think it has to do with the finger placement. Long press, 2 seconds or more, near the bottom of the blank page and then slide it up toward the trash bin. I cannot get it to go away if I long press the middle or top of the blank page. As soon as the blank page you are working on disappears, a...

Touch Sensitivity Adjustment In the Settings menu, under Display, I found "Use your device while wearing gloves by increasing the touch sensitivity of the screen" Does that make sense to anyone? Shouldn't it say "TO INCREASE" the touch sensitivity? LOL, I don't like the way I don't even have...

Does just the icon disappear or does it actually uninstall? I've accidentally had a couple of icons delete probably due to some secret way of cleaning up things, but I just went to the Apps in the bottom right corner of the home page and found it.

Re: Alpha shows lots of emails in trash that don't exist Thank you.....it worked great and was easy. I just freaked when I saw the warning that all addresses associated with that account would be lost. I have a second Comcast email address so I made it the default account through the process...

Alpha shows lots of emails in trash that don't exist Not a real big issue.....but anyone know a fix for my phone showing an increasing number of emails in the trash folder when they are not really there? I use the factory loaded email app to check four different email addresses on the AT&T...

I got the Body Glove and it is tough and not too big. There are cutouts where the buttons are so you don't keep the screen active when in your pocket, unlike that cheapie I got at the mall for my skyrocket. I had to do some modifications over and over on it. This Body Glove is good to go, and...

Re: Samsung Kies version 3 Today it works. I completely uninstalled Kies version 3 and removed all traces of it on my Windows 7 machine. Rebooted, re-installed and held my breath....... it works. The multiple tones for connect and disconnect are gone and I was able to backup everything and load...
