    How exactly do phone monthly payments work on T-Mobile?

    I'm trying to understand what the catch is... I've never done a monthly payment system before. So, I pay like $30/month for a new phone... and let's say I want a newer phone in a year. Do I just trade this phone in and continue making the $30/month payment on the new phone? Rinse and...

    Is it okay to use T-Mobile hotspot as my home wi-fi?

    If I have unlimited data on my T-Mobile plan, couldn't I just use the Nexus 5 as a hot spot for my home internet? I get 30mbps download speeds in my house, which is faster than what I'm currently paying for with Time Warner. Are there any cons in doing this? Edit: I see that T-Mobile charges...

    If I sell a water damaged Note 3, will the person be able to fix and get into all my data?

    I sold a water damaged Note 3 where the screen remained black. The phone turned on, but the LCD screen was obviously damaged and just stayed black. Obviously, the buyer will restore the phone... I had a Patterned unlock screen (have to draw the pattern in order to unlock). Will he be able to...

    Light Flow LED notification keeps blinking even after I check my text message

    This is very annoying. Light Flow works... but then the LED just stays blinking even after I read my text message. Any idea how to get it to automatically turn off once I actually read the message?

    Water damaged my Note 3... Should I get a Nexus 5?

    So, I got pushed in a pool with my Note 3 and fixed it for a moment but now my screen is just black. It would be $200 to fix the LCD screen but I'm a bit wary of using a water damaged phone in the long-run. Someone on Craigslist is going to sell me his Nexus 5 for $250 which is a great deal...

    Fixed my water damaged Note 3! I got pushed in the pool and thought it was dead... Details Inside

    I wanted to post this to give hope to anyone who has faced water damage with their phone. I got pushed in the pool by a drunk guy (he felt terrible and even planned it out beforehand when he noticed I was in swimming trunks and not regular shorts... thinking I wouldn't have my phone in my...

    Some of my contact photos arent showing up on Handcent

    My contacts have photos (avatar, profile pic, whatever you wanna call it) Yet, only some of the photos show up on Handcent. I've enabled the 'show contact photos' option, so not sure what the problem could be. Thoughts?

    I bought a fake and real Spigen Neo Hybrid case... side by side comparison with photos inside

    About a week ago, I made a post asking about the Chinese knockoff Spigen Neo Hybrid cases. I now have both cases, and decided to take pics and do a side by side comparison. The real one is $30 off Amazon and the fake one is $10 off ebay. If I'm being completely honest, they are almost...

    Anyone buy the Spigen Neo Hybrid case off ebay (from China)?

    I know they're not the original, but I have to imagine they're basically the same case... for literally less than half the price ($10 vs $30). Anyone else do this? Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 Neo Hybrid Case Screen Protect Pen | eBay SPIGEN SGP Neo Hybrid Series Case for Samsung Galaxy S4 SIV...

    Help Is there a setting to make screen not go to lock screen every single time?

    Does the lock screen have to come up every single time? I could've sworn I've seen an option to have it only come up after X minutes of no use. Can't find those settings on the GS4 though

    Help Productivity Lock Screen issues

    So, you can customize what kind of lock screen you want. I chose Productivity Lock Screen thinking it would show my texts, emails, missed calls, etc... all on my lockscreen if I had any. I applied it, and everything is set... but I'm not getting any notifications to show up on it. Odd....?

    [App] Handcent SMS notifications acting funny?

    I have Handcent give me pop-up message alerts, so I can quickly reply. However, something weird keeps happening. I'll get a message from John, and it'll pop up and I'll reply. Then, John will send me another message, and the popup alert will be the old/previous message... I have to exit out...

    Switched from the GS3 to the Optimus G... worth a read?

    Okay, I've had the Optimus G (OG) for about a week now, and I can honestly say I enjoy it more than the GS3 I owned for a few months. I hope this doesn't come across as a bash fest... I'm a casual user, not all advanced and rooting (although I may one day). I know a lot of the comments will be...

    My impressions of the Optimus G after switching from the Galaxy S3

    Okay, I've had the Optimus G (OG) for about a week now, and I can honestly say I enjoy it more than the GS3 I owned for 2 months. Hardware and build quality are A LOT better. I've already had a few comments from strangers when they see me playing with my phone (case-less for now, eek).. asking...

    Would it be stupid to trade-in my GS3 for the LG Optimus G?

    I think the GS3 will actually have better re-sell value in 2013... which says a lot about its prominence. I also understand the GS3 has A LOT more exposure and popularity. However, the build quality on the LG Optimus G trumps the GS3 IMO... and the hardware in general is better. I'm not...

    Well, with Sprint not getting the Nexus 4, I'll be researching the Optimus G more...

    Can't wait for more to come out about this phone. So far most reviews say poor camera quality, which sucks since it boasts 13mp and is one of the main selling points for LG. Considering trading in my Galaxy S3 for the Optimus G, but if the support isn't there, then gonna be hard...

    Any news on if this is coming to Sprint? If so, how is it different than the LG Optimus G?

    If this does come out for Sprint, I don't really see how it differs from the LG Optimus G If anything, they're practically the same phone so wouldn't it be weird to release the Optimus G and then release this Optimus Nexus?

    Making wallpapers never works... always so zoomed in

    I'll go online and save images intending to make them wallpapers, but when I go to actually set them as wallpaper, it's so zoomed in... why can't I just zoom out and capture the entire image when making a wallpaper? I don't get it...
