    Help Replacement USB 3.0 cable suggestions?

    I've been using a plain micro USB cable, but those don't seem to stay in very well and don't charge my device as well. I've also looked on Amazon and the top search results all seem to be gray market-ish. Fake Samsung logos and reviews that say they don't work as well. Any suggestions on what...

    Accessories UE Megaboom only getting 3.5 hours on high volume

    Short version: Is anyone else not getting anywhere near the supposed battery life for this device? Longer version: I just bought the UE Megaboom yesterday. I've been excited for this purchase for awhile, putting aside some cash for it, waiting for the day. Unboxed it, played around with it...

    will heart rate function still work if I root my S5 and change ROM's?

    Title says it all. Just want to make sure because it's the one Samsung bloat-app that I like.

    Help Can't stay connected to Starbucks (Google!!!) wifi

    I have had a myriad of basic operation issues with this phone (and not just this particular device, the model in general), but this really blows my mind. I'm sure most of you know that when you go into a Starbucks, you choose (or auto connect to) the free wifi, then it brings you an accept and...

    Adding to Contacts via Google Maps?

    I could be wrong, but wasn't it possible to search for say "Joe's Pizza" on Google Maps on your phone and have an option to add to contacts so that all the fields were automatically filled out? I'm trying to add an organization right now and don't see that option. I'm running Android 4.4.2...

    Help Several Issues regarding SD cards space, apps constantly force closing

    Hey all, I'm temporarily on this phone for a few reasons, among them it was the cheapest I could find on Craigslist in my area on short notice. I'm not happy with it but I'll survive because really I do not absolutely NEED anything more than phone, text, email and maps. Be that as it may, I...

    Help (Verizon) Stock messaging app doesn't show old msgs

    Can someone explain to me why the stock messaging app just gets rid of random text and picture msgs when you go back in time. I'm looking for information someone sent me in a text from two weeks ago and the further I go back, the fewer texts there are. There doesn't seem to be rhyme nor reason...

    Help USB to PC connection no longer available

    As of yesterday my SG3 no longer recognizes when I plug it into a computer to transfer files. I'm using the same USB cable I was, the one that came with the phone. What happened that I no longer get the MTP/Camera screen? I'm not rooted at this point, and unfortunately I'm using a computer I...

    Help "Request permission" notification for gmail account

    Since I changed my google password via the web last week, I've been getting this message in my notification shade. I updated my google password on the phone immediately, and I can't figure out what app is requesting permission. When I click the notification, it just disappears. When I pull up...

    Spotify: files "reconnect" or do they need to redownload

    Can anyone offer some insight on this: I had Spotify premium up until last week or so, and a number of playlists were downloaded to my phone. My premium account lapsed, so I can't listen to those songs at the moment. However, if I restart my premium account, will the playlists become available...

    Spotify: restarting premium, reconnect to files or will they "redownload"

    I plan on restarting my Spotify premium account (which lapsed a couple of days ago) so I can continue to listen to the music copied my phone. According to the app Disk Usage, it's still all there. However, if I recall correctly, the last time this happened, the Spotify app was convinced it had...

    External battery charger recommendations

    I'm planning to buy a Gorilla Gadgets extended battery, and I want to purchase an external charger along with it. I'd prefer one that can handle the GG battery and the OEM battery, but not a strict necessity. What is necessary is keeping the price low for something usable and decent quality. I...

    Root Stock deodexed ROM > lost CWM recovery?

    I just loaded the Stock ZV5 deodex ROM onto my Elite and now I can't get back into Clockworkmod recovery. Holding the down volume and power doesn't do anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

    Searching for an MEID

    Not android related, but I figure this is a decent place to ask. I bought an HP notebook, the slim dm1-3010NR model, off of Craigslist a couple of months ago. It's able to connect to Verizon's 4G network, I just have to get a SIM card for it. I went over to the nearest store location the other...

    Tmobile subsidized Nexus

    I'm looking to replace my N4 because it broke. I bought it from Google and started the $30 plan on tmobile. Since I kinda don't want to drop another $30th now, can someone explain the $50/$60/$70 plans, specifically are you locked in after you pay off the phone? I know it's a month to month...
