    Where is the Samsung Apps widget? I can't find it to download photo editor like I've seen in youtube tutorials. Is this an international version thing???:confused:

    Verizon's global version?

    On my pre-order, I went with the global/international version since I will be going to Europe next summer. Any downside to getting this version? Will it do anything bad to my reception here? Is there any real difference inside the phone, or is it just the sim card?

    screen brightness settings used?

    As I patiently wait for my Verizon GN2, I wonder how you guys are setting up the screen brightness on your phones. Are you using the auto setting? If so, how well does it work? (On my Bionic, I use a Profiles app and usually have it turned down to about 25% to save battery, and then quickly...

    Phantom Skinz screen protector and S-pen?

    My brother has them for the S3 and likes them a lot. Does anyone have the Phantom Skinz screen protector and can comment on if it interferes with S-pen function?

    anyone carrying Note 2 on their belt?

    I carry my Bionic in a leather belt case turned horizontally. It lets me take the phone out easily while sitting, which you can't do if it is in your pocket. Anyone doing this with the Note 2? Pics?

    Costco question. Need help.

    I bought my Bionic using the Costco American Express. I know that doing that doubles the manufacturers warranty. I thought it also doubled the 90 day return period, but my Costco told me no. By Bionic is almost 6 months old, and the speaker for the ear piece sounds terrible now. I would...

    Definitely not switching to RAZR!

    Went to Verizon Store today to compare the screen side by side with the Bionic. The Bionic display is MUCH brighter. With the RAZR at 100% brightness, the Bionic was brighter even at 50%. I think the RAZR is going to be much more difficult to see outside in the sunlight. For some people, that...

    anyone getting 4g in Salt Lake City today?

    After 3 days of perfect 4g, I can't get it anywhere in SLC today. I'm assuming it is the network? Reboots have not helped. Anyone else here affected?

    Bluetooth battery hog?

    I leave Bluetooth turned on all the time. It is responsible for 28% of my battery use, even though I have hardly used my headset. Is something wrong with my phone?

    Wow is the screen efficient!

    My phone has been off charger for 5 hours so far. I have used the phone for emails, texting, etc. I'm at 80% battery. The amazing part is the break down. 36% cell standby, 30% Bluetooth?, 28% Phone idle, 3% Wifi, 3% DISPLAY, 2% Andoid OS. I think I can tolerate the screen if it uses that...

    Help Can't connect to PC?

    I plugged a USB cable to the phone, and the PC can't find the drivers. I can't pull up the memory card on the screen to drag files over like I could with my Droid X. I have Windows 7. Anyone else?

    So little interest?

    I followed the Thunderbolt for a couple of months waiting for that release. I returned the phone because of the tiny battery, and I am now waiting for the Bionic. I can't believe how quiet this forum is in comparison to the TB forum pre-release. Where is the excitement?.... :confused:

    Help Screen glare

    The Screen on the TB is horrible for viewing outdoors. The reflections are so bad, I can hardly see the screen, even at full brightness. Would a screen protector actually make it easier to see by cutting down on the glare?

    Help Blue tooth stereo headset wont play music

    I have a Motorola Bluetooth ski helmet. I paired it with the TB, and phone calls work, but when I go to play music it plays through the phone's speaker and not the Bluetooth headset. Any ideas? FYI it works fine with my Motorola Droid.

    Display setting

    What display setting are you using? Do you leave it in "Auto," or go manual and turn it down to save battery. Is there a Widget to quickly increase brightness when you are outside with the push of a button if you are using the manual setting?

    Help Can't get WIFI to connect at home

    Both my original Droid and Thunderbolt won't connect to my home WIFI. The desktop computers work fine. I tried using WEP at 128bit and 64bit, and it doesn't make a difference. It says optaining IP address for ever, and then fails. I can use the open network at work with no problems. IT is a...

    Hoping the Verizon email doesn't come out today....

    I'm really disappointed that we can't pre-order in stores, or order online today for delivery tomorrow. I have to work tomorrow, but fortunately my lovely wife will go to the Verizon store for me 30 minutes before they open to try to get me a phone. I'm hoping that most people who would...

    Best Buy vs Verizon Store?

    I am 13 months into my 2 year contract. I called Verizon, and they said I'm eligible for an upgrade, where I can get a new phone at the new contract price by signing a new one year or two year contract. I called Best Buy and asked them the same question, and when they looked up my account...

    Reliability of the Incredible?

    I plan on switching from my Moto Droid to the Thunderbolt. But, my coworker has the Incredible, and it died on her. The replacement Verizon sent her doesn't work either. Makes me nervous about getting an HTC phone. How has the reliability been for others (I realize an "n" of 1 doesn't mean...

    Droid owners that switched to Nexus?

    Since a switch in carriers is required, I can't image there are too many Droid owners that have switched to the Nexus at this point. If you are such a person, how about talking about the differences between these phones and what you liked/disliked about each. :cool:

    Dophin browser slowdown

    I tried Dolphin yesterday. I liked the pinch-zoom (I came from iphone), but I noticed that if I had a few windows open, it REALLY slowed down. The default browser doesn't seem to suffer from this problem. My old iphone didn't either. I could have 5 windows open no problem. As a result, I...
