    Who received their's today? Initial impressions?

    I like it so far. Screen is really nice. Was afraid it would be too big, but hasn't been a problem. My only issues so far are.. 1. Samsung/Bixby voice recognition with the keyboard has been terrible so far. I don't know if I can change that to Google or will need to download a different...

    Help S7 Locked Up

    My phone wasn't connected to my car tonight even though the Bluetooth was on, so I decided to restart it. It got to the white screen with the AT&T logo and froze. It is still there here about an hour later. Of course I can't pull the battery.... ugh. Nothing I do will restart it. I am...

    S7 Battery/Camera

    A friend has had his S7 (not Edge) for 3 days now. I'm surprised people here haven't been posting about theirs. I'd be surprised if he got it earlier than anyone here. Anyway..... He is not a gadget/phone person and could care less about 99% of the things that are discussed on this forum...

    A couple of issues

    I have an unlocked M8 from eBay. Unlocked as in it was not dedicated to a carrier. I am using it on AT&T now. I was on Verizon just before I bought it. 1. The mail doesn't sync right. It only rarely syncs automatically. It will sync if I pull the screen down, but it doesn't sync every few...

    Switching from Verizon- A Couple Questions

    1. I went into AT&T a few days ago, told them I was thinking of switching, and immediately the conversation was not about my phone but about bundling, Uverse, Internet etc. She did not want to talk about my phone plan. It all became a sales pitch. I almost had to be ugly in steering her back...

    Considering Changing to AT&T

    I'm sure this is covered somewhere, but any search I do returns results that are too broad. I have been on Verizon for years and looking at moving to AT&T, and have a question or two. I see different phones I'd like to try, but I think on Verizon I can't use any of them because they don't...

    Who loves this phone?

    Time for me to upgrade. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people here jumping up and down about how much they love their phone. I don't think I'm interested in the Galaxy. I like the LG G4 but so big and my hands are smallish. Any advice or recommendations? Where is the HTC love? :D

    Switcheroo?

    Got mine Friday. A couple purchase related questions? My phone is black. The charging cord and ear phones are white. Is this right? Seems odd. The salesman asked me if I was going to use the memory card from my old phone. I said, I was. When I went to put my card in the phone, there...

    Camera Pic

    I have never been as impressed with the camera on this phone as other people, but I took one a couple nights ago that was pretty good. I just had to post it. This has been a good phone. However, next time around I'm going to look for one that I feel the manufacturer, Verizon, and developers...

    Help Every Morning my Rezound Switches off WiFi and turns on Data Since ICS

    I didn't see this in anyone else's issues with the new ICS update, but since I downloaded it, (just as the title says) every morning when I wake up my phone on its own has turned WiFi off and turned data on. Is this a setting I don't know about? It's more of an annoyance since I have...

    Root Can I still root if my Fascinate has been deactivated?

    I have wanted to try rooting my Fascinate, but always concerned I would brick it. Seems like that rarely happens any longer, but I still didn't want to have to buy a new phone. Anyway, I've switched to a Rezound, I want to try rooting now, but my phone service is now on the Rezound. Can I...

    About that grip

    I posted this somewhere else, but either no one looked at it, or no one is having the same issue. I wanted to post it here to make sure someone had looked at it. The back pad on my phone makes my hands feel like they have some kind of residue on them or feel like they are getting dry. This...

    Help Sending and Receiving SMS/MMS with people who have iPhones

    I can't be the only person having this problem, but I searched. When I send a message to a friend with an iPhone, they get my message broken up into small sections with a bunch of @@@ in the text. My message will come out like. How are @@@@@@ you? When I receive a pic message from a...

    What's the next new thing?

    I'm probably going to get the Vigor as my next phone, but like many of us, I contemplate being stuck with this for a 2 year contract when something newer and cooler comes out. There is always going to be something new coming out. My question is, what useful new things are on the horizon? I...

    Help Texting a Picture

    My phone doesn't like to send a picture when I text. Maybe it is because I am on the extended Verizon network and not in a home area. Also, it might be related to picture size. Is there any way to reduce the size of a picture before you send it? When I take a picture with the phone and then...

    Help Screen Goes Dim in Bright Light

    I searched for other posts on this, but didn't see one. When I unlock my phone, the screen brightness will be high, and then it adjusts to correspond to whatever the room brightness is. When I am in bright light outside, it will go dim a few seconds after getting unlocked. Its really...

    The Obnoxious Customer...... Me

    I have a Samsung Fascinate. I like it mostly, but its awful big for my hands, I'm having call quality issues and some GPS issues. I keep dropping it like its on fire. I think this is mostly the slick casing and less the size. I have a week left on my 30 day return period. I'd really like to...

    App List

    I think I am going to have to trade my phone for a new one. I like it, but it has some call quality quirks and I'm hoping to get a new one without the issues. Is there any app or anything that will just generate a list of my apps, so that I don't have to write them all down? I know I can...

    Trying to figure out how I can upgrade.

    My dad's phone was due for upgrade this past Monday. He has a flip phone, and wouldn't be able to handle a smart phone. The phone he has has big buttons and a screen that displays big numbers and that kind of thing. He needs to stay with it. I was trying however to figure out if I could...

    Root Baisc ROM question

    This is a really noob question, but I've been reading and reading and I can't find a good answer. I just have to ask it. When I first got a Droid months back there were a couple programs like Home++ and something else that you could download as a "Home Replacements." You didn't have to root...

    Evaluating a Phone

    The contract for my Eris is finally up in about a month. I've been looking at everyone's comments here and am interested in the Fascinate. So I went into the Verizon store today, fired one up, and thought, Now what do I do? Seemed fast. Screen was nice. I felt like I should be testing...
