    Trading in my S3 for Nexus

    I've decided to trade my Galaxy S3 in for a Galaxy Nexus. I'm waiting for the Nexus to arrive at my Sprint store, but before I go through with the trade, I was hoping to get some insider specs on whether or not this is a good move. Personally, I felt the Nexus' design was much more solid...

    Help SMS Limitations?

    I tried to send a text to my wife using exactly 148 characters, but I kept getting an error saying it couldn't be sent. We are both on Sprint and both have the S3. When this happened before I was told a battery pull would fix the problem and it did, but this time it did not. I updated my PRL and...

    Always shows a PRL Update when using *2

    Every time I check out my profile status from *2 on the dialer I always seem to have a PRL update available. I was wondering if this was normal for the S3 to have these frequent updates or if it is just a bug? The frequency at which I check my profile info using this method is about once a day.

    So the Electrify Won't Get ICS...

    Help MMS Issue

    I've been an avid user of my Electrify since I purchased it, however, when I try to send an MMS message (multimedia message) to my fiancee's Mesmerize (my old phone) she only receives half the message. I'm not talking about sending a picture of a video, but just standard MMS that exceeds the SMS...

    Since the unveiling of the source code for Ice Cream Sandwich, I was hoping there was someone out there that could fill me in on the possiblity of the Electrify being able to receive some pre-release ICS love. I know they've enabled ICS to work on the GSII, so heres to hoping that someone...

    Gotta say, this irritates me.

    So I'm looking over the design of the Electrify and realized... Why the hell would they put the charging port on the same side that the phone rests on while in kickstand mode? I mean, seriously, I would like to charge my phone while its propped up on the kickstand at night for the clock...

    Mirror Mode

    So how fun is the Mirror Mode on this phone? Hopefully as great as I'm expecting. My question, however, is regarding the type of HDMI cable required for Mirror Mode. Is it a micro to standard or a mini to standard? Also, does it require a certain speed? I don't have a top of line television...

    I'm sure there are other posts about this elsewhere, but I figured as USCC customers (since we're all here for the Mesmerize) would really enjoy this app. I found it while reading the articles here at Phandroid.com and really loved the app they recommended so I am here to recommend it to you...

    Mesmerize Screenshots!

    Not sure if there is one already, but I think there should be a perma-thread for screenshots. People are always customizing their phones to look cooler and cooler so I thought why not make a whole thread for them? Anywho, here is my recent creation using the following apps: Just so you know...
