    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...

    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...

    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

    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....?
