    Help Problems receiving incoming calls (Sprint)

    In the past few weeks (although it may have been going on longer), I've noticed that I'm often not receiving inbound calls on my MXPE, on Sprint's network. I do continue to receive SMS, and I can easily make outbound calls. Using the LTE Discovery app, I seem to have found a pattern: After the...

    Help Sprint Open World...Data Issues

    I added Sprint Open World to my MXPE device. This week, I had my first opportunity to use it, while I'm visiting Canada. When I first landed in Canada, I made sure that my phone was set to "Global" as advised. That allowed my phone to establish a connection with Rogers Wireless, Sprint's (only)...

    Google Wallet?

    I've had my Photon Q for just over a month. Infinitely better than my Epic 4G. Unfortunately, I was disappointed to see that, despite having NFC, this device is not currently supported by Google Wallet. I was really anxious to try this service out. Since it considers my device to be...

    Help Sprint GTab 7"...time via Internet, and disable radio

    I decided to cut short my subscription on my 7" Sprint Galaxy Tab. The termination fee was not much more than a month's service, plus tax--and I seem to be doing well enough with it over WiFi. Two questions, though: 1) I would like to completely disable the cellular radio, to conserve battery...

    Root Location of Automatic Update Package?

    I'm running an Epic 4g that's rooted, but otherwise stock. When the latest update came out (late May/early June, I think), it was pushed to my phone. Of course, I can't apply the update from a rooted phone. So, I just hit "Install Later" when the prompt comes up, several times a day. I would...

    Help GPS altitude WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY off

    I'm using an Epic with stock EL30, but rooted with CWM. Why does my GPS say that my current elevation is 1.4 MILLION feet? Since I'm not currently in orbit, I'm pretty sure that number is just slightly off. It seems like it's reporting the distance between me, and the GPS satellite itself...

    Update rooted device to EL30

    I rooted my device and installed CWM. Aside from that, my device's operating system is stock. I see that EL30 is now available, which (according to Sprintfeed) removes Carrier IQ, and gets rid of some of the bloatware. This is the first official update that's been released, since I rooted my...

    Help Charging from Cigarette Lighter--not working.

    My 7" Galaxy Tab does a normal fast-charge, when I try to charge from the original AC adapter. However, I've had a hard time finding anything that will fast-charge the Tab from a cigarette lighter socket. I've even ordered the Samsung-branded USB adapter and cable (2000mAh output), and I still...

    Help Skype in 4G mode?

    Now that my Epic is running Gingerbread, I was able to test Skype, and found that my camera is no longer rotated 90 degrees. But as expected, 3G performance isn't that great. When I tried to use Skype in 4G mode, the app didn't seem to want to use the 4G connection. Attempts to login would...

    EF17 is here!

    Just received a Twitter announcement from Sprint...Android 2.3 is now available for the Galaxy Tab! I haven't yet received it on my phone, but I'm hoping to see it today. Reading through to community postings at Sprint, it's being phased-in as an OTA update over the next few days, and they are...

    (Sprint) Galaxy Tab...to keep or not to keep?

    I bought a Galaxy Tab from Sprint less than two weeks ago, and it's been pretty useful for me. I like that I was able to do some serious downsizing from my rather sizable notebook PC, without losing too much functionality. But, I seem to have a decision to make, while I'm still in my 30-day...

    Help Minor quirk since going to 2.2

    In the "Development" sub-menu of the phone's settings, I have the phone set to stay awake when plugged in to external power. For some reason, that option seems to uncheck itself after a day or two. Has anyone else noticed this, or found a remedy for it? Not a big problem, just more of a minor...

    Help Flash playback issue on 2.2

    Finally, we have Flash! But...I've hit a number of sites where the playback is very slow, as if someone is playing a 45 record on 33 speed (old reference, I know...but I'm confident you can figure it out). This is in the stock browser. Haven't tried other browsers yet. Any way to fix that?

    Upgrade process...what to expect?

    Okay, so now that we're hours/days away (barring another last-minute change of plans), I'm curious how the upgrade will affect the current settings and installed apps on my phone. I'm running stock DI18 now. In my past life with the Moment, the update was downloaded to a PC, and transferred to...

    Help VPN on stock 2.1

    Anyone ever tried the VPN on a Moment running 2.1 official? I run a VPN at home, and have tried to connect to it. I can connect successfully, and maybe move a small amount of data, before the connection just stalls. Only restarting the connection will bring it back, but again, it's for no more...

    Help Yourmuze and Handcent SMS

    These two don't seem to play well together, but I'm wondering if someone has a suggestion... I use Yourmuze.fm to listen to Windows Media streaming sites, since I've found no other way to do it. When listening to a stream, I can't do anything else with the phone, since doing so will stop the...

    Help Custom tones for SMS

    Now that we're a month in to the official 2.1... Is there a way to have individual alert tones for different SMS contacts, just like you can have different ringtones for voice contacts?

    Durable case for Moment?

    I'm looking for suggestions for a durable and reliable case for the Moment. When I bought my phone, I bought the two-pack of 2-part covers for the phone (two different colors). Both have separated from the phone at the worst possible times, and the phone now has some serious road rash...

    Help Firmware Updates

    I didn't do a before/after comparison of the firmware in my Moment, during the upgrade to 2.1. But did a firmware update come along with 2.1, or was that strictly an upgrade of the Android software? Maybe there's something there, that would resolve the CDMA lockups that we sometimes encounter...

    Help Keep screen on in 2.1

    In 1.5, I'm sure that I had an option to keep the screen/backlight on as long as the phone was connected to external power. On 2.1, all I can find are fixed time periods. Is it no longer possible to have the screen always on, or has that setting been moved?

    Help Radio stability in 2.1?

    There's been a lot of talk amongst the group regarding Android 2.1. It's now been (kinda-sorta) out for about a month, and many of you have had a chance to thoroughly examine it and see what it can do, and how well it works. I'm still at CL14, and I plan to wait until the official release...

    Help PDF Viewer Recommendations?

    Running a Moment with the stock CL14 software. What's a good choice for a PDF viewer? Does the answer change when going to Android 2.1? Thanks.

    Help custom ringtones for SMS

    I have no problem choosing different ringtones for different people in my phone book, when it comes to voice calls. Is there also a way to choose different sounds for different SMS senders?

    Help Manually start com.samsung.internal?

    It's clear I'm not alone, when it comes to the loss of network comms on my Moment. I've just resigned myself to the fact that I have to get used to power-cycling the phone when things go bad, and hope against hope that 2.1 is our miracle cure. But I'm looking for a quicker way to restart my...
