    Help S3 not receiving MMS texts

    I handed my S3 down to my wife (when I got the S4). We often get "group texts" which are apparently sent as MMS from our son's hockey team to keep us updated on team activities. My wife's S3 isn't receiving ANY of the group texts. But, the phone does get individual text messages. Any ideas...

    Help car docking station = desk clock instead of driving mode

    Hello all, I ran a search but didn't find any thread with this particular problem. I just got my S4 last week, letting my wife have my S3 as a hand-me-down. I have an i-Bolt car docking station / cradle thingy, which has worked great. But, suddenly when I plug the S4 into the car thingy...

    Leather belt holster for S3 with Otterbox Commuter

    Hi Guys, I've done a search, but I haven't found my answer. I prefer to carry my GS3 on my belt. There's no room in my pockets. I started with the case and holster that I got at the Verizon dealer. I forget the name of it. The holster was a hard plastic and the phone / case slipped into...

    Help Syncing Contacts with Google kaput

    OK, I've been ALL over the internet and this forum trying to figure this out. My contacts will no longer sync with my Google account. Calendar sync works fine. When trying to sync contacts, I get an error saying, "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." But, it...

    Help Dropped GS3 in water!

    CRAP! Dropped my new GS3 in water. I grabbed it out very quickly. (My cat-like reflexes apparently intact!) The phone was on. Worked fine. Dried the outside of the phone off. Figured I was good to go. Phone worked find for a few hours after that. On the way home from work, I was...

    Help Another car dock quirk!

    Today, I plugged my GS3 into my new i-Bolt car dock. It automatically goes into "car mode." But, when I turn the camera on (like a dash-cam), the live image is UPSIDE-DOWN. This is the case for video or still camera. If I unplug the power supply, the image uprights itself. Plug it in, and...

    Help In Car Mode, navigation display is dark (night time mode?)

    I got a new car dock and tried it out today (i-Bolt). Very nice. I like it. So, I turned on the Google navigation / maps and noticed that even though it was the middle of the day, the map display was dark... sort of a gray-scale version of the maps. Later I took the GS3 out of the dock and...

    Spigen Curved Crystal = (like) new screen!

    When I got my new GS3 a few weeks ago, I got a little protection kit with it that included the Arduro case / holster and a screen protector. The Verizon dude put them both on for me. I don't know what kind of screen protector it was, but it seemed to work fairly well. It had a "matte"...

    Will Seidio Convert case fit into GS3 multimedia dock?

    I was wondering if I got the Seidio Convert case... will it fit into the multimedia dock without removing the case? Thanks!

    Galaxy S3 noob

    Hi all, I had a Blackberry Storm for five years... yeah... ancient for a phone. I never really used it as a smart phone because it was SLOW and cumbersome. Finally, the touch screen went wonky, and it was time to get a new phone. I did my research online, and all roads pointed to the GS3...
