    Note 2 vs Ascend Mate 2 vs Nexus 7 LTE

    So, I've had a T-Mobile Note 2 for a while and enjoyed using it with no interest in a Note 3. During that time I also picked up a Verizon sold N7 that my T-Mobile phone sim works in (tried many times) and just recently an Ascend Mate 2. The Nexus rocks but has no cellular voice; the Ascend has a...

    ONCE ACTIVATED, how is the Nexus 7 LTE on Verizon?

    Any big issues with no 3g fallback? Has anyone gone full voip with this setup? Can you go month to month postpaid with a byo tablet? Postpaid Verizon tablet plans seem to suck less than the prepaid plans. Anyone have any luck getting a military discount on a tablet only postpaid account?

    Battery life- AT&T Note 8 LTE vs Nexus 7 LTE

    Does anyone have any experience with both models? I'm considering a new data enabled tablet and as my phone is a Note 2 battery life is a big thing for me.

    Urgent! Stolen phone!

    My gf's purse was stolen out of her car, somewhere between 1 hour 40 minutes and forty minutes ago. Her Verizon S4 was in it. I got her to install Cerebus on it but she never went past the free trial. What are our options to track it down? Fwiw, we have Verizon Messages installed on her wifi...

    Looking for complimenting accessories

    I just bought a T-Mobile Note 2 online and want to have stuff ready for when it gets here. I'll need a case, screen protector, and a waterproof bag that'll fit the phone in the case somewhat snugly (I'm finishing up my beach volleyball leagues). I like the speck on my Note 1 but don't like the...

    AT&T 8 on T-Mobile phone plan?

    Has anyone tried the AT&T LTE Note 8 on the prepaid T-Mobile $30 plan? Talk and text wouldn't work unless they're really hidden but data might. Fwiw, T-Mobile does not recognize my AT&T Note 1...

    Warranty?

    I'm considering going to Walmart this week and picking up one of these for my girlfriend. If I buy it and the warranty will she be able to use the warranty?

    Voip with LTE

    I've tried GV/Groove and Vonage in the past on several devices (Wi-Fi and HSPA) and have always had terrible results, delay being the biggest problem. I just made a Vonage call on LTE with my i717 and actually had a real phone conversation. I think there was still a very slight delay but it was...

    Hisense Sero 7 Pro vs. Asus Memopad HD 7

    These seem to be the leaders in the fully optioned budget 7" class. Anyone have both or have spent decent time on both? Please don't suggest the Nexus 7, this is for someone who will want hdmi and a rear camera.

    Defender and extra screen protector

    I've read the posts about the Defender's screen protector not being flush with the screen. Has anyone tried a regular screen protector under it to "snug it up"? I regularly have my S2 in two sandwich bags at the beach and usability is just fine.

    Help Pandora lockscreen controls in 4.0.4

    This isn't showing on my S2, and I don't see any way to enable them. It's working on my 4.0.4 7.0+. Any ideas?

    Second phone, same number, for working on the beach?

    I've decided to stay on the phablet bandwagon. Unfortunately, I work a lot running beach volleyball shifts in the summer and am not risking bringing my Note out there unless someone knows of a completely sandproof case for that thing. :D So I need another phone. I have a cheapie Nokia but don't...

    New tablets coming out, which one to get?

    It looks like there are several tablets coming out this year. I'm looking for a 7" tablet with a rear camera, hdmi capability, and a standard charging port for my girlfriend. That rules out the Nexus and Samsung tabs. I'D like her to have one with 3/4g capability but that's not huge. It'll have...

    When will we see data only plans for phones?

    I don't talk on the phone much, but still need more than I've found voip can do. That said, there are a bunch of phones that would make great secondary devices/mini tablets and there are people who are happy with voip. Some people have reported using international devices on AT&T tablet plans...

    Asus Fonepad vs. Samsung Mega 6.3

    Neither are spec monsters, but I don't care about that. :D I prefer the size of the Mega though it seems it'll be up there in price. Either would be more of a tablet replacement that could occasionally use my phone's sim and cut down on the amount of different chargers I carry around. Both seem...

    Not registered on network?

    As I've do often, I swapped my TMobile sim from my S2 to my Note. Everything was working fine on the S2 but now the Note isn't showing the data signal and is showing the above phrase when I try to make a call. I removed and replaced the sim several times with no difference. Any ideas?

    Anyone try this? I've read reports of it working on other international phones.

    Mobile broadband and Google Voice- AT&T vs TMobile

    Has anyone noticed one being better than the other in Chicago as far as consistency and coverage? Does one handle Google Voice better than the other?

    Inc 2 on pageplus, (almost) no data

    I'm always looking into simplifying my phone setup, going primarily to talk and text. The $29 plan looks interesting. How's this phone's battery life with data off most of the time? A dumb phone is my first thought but it'd be nice to have Android contact management, the ability to occasionally...

    Mobile broadband MVNO's?

    Basically, I want to use a Note 1 as a tablet only (secondary device). The international might work on AT&T prepaid tablet plans, the AT&T probably won't, and neither will work that great on TMobile in my area. MVNO's don't seem to care much about what device you use. What's out there for tablets?

    I got 6mbps up on my unlocked AT&T Captivate in Wicker Park, Chicago. Still don't like the phone that much but whatever. :D
