    exchange services has stopped

    Ever since the 4.4 2 update, I get the "Unfortunate Exchange Services Has Stopped" popup error any time I use apps such as Yahoo Mail, Facebook, or when I factory reset/log in to my Google account. Basically any app that involves logging in and synching of messages I think. Then, as soon as I...

    Battery saving tips

    So, I just bought the S3 today for Virgin Mobile. I must say, although it's fast, has a nice screen, and all that, it is by far the worst battery drainer I've ever owned. I've had large screen phones in the past(Evo 3D, GS2, Nexus 4), and none of them drained this quick. I charged it to 100%...

    Help JB update turned it into a Sprint phone

    I bought the phone 2 days ago for Virgin Mobile. I installed the Jelly Bean update via Samsung's Simple Install thing. Worked fine..however, afterwards, all Virgin bloatware was replaced with Sprint bloatware and games. Even the startup screen shows the "Sprint Now Network 4G" thing and...

    Help Phone goes in landscape for notifications

    Just bought my Victory a few days ago. Switched from a Nexus 4, so its quite a downgrade, although I'm pleasantly surprised with it so far except one issue. If I get any notification while typing, the phone switches to landscape for a couple seconds. For example, while typing this, I just...

    Evo V "Searching for GPS"

    I've had my Evo V for about 6 months now. First 4 months, GPS/Navigation worked completely fine. But for the past 2 months or so, it can't lock on and is always stuck on "Searching for GPS". I've tried updating the PRL/Profile, factory resetting the phone, even tried other Navigation apps like...

    Help Evo V wifi

    I've had this phone for months and never had an issue with WiFi. However, the past week, it'll randomly stop working. All other devices in the house work fine. If I toggle it off then back on, it'll come back, but for less than 2 seconds. This happens like 3x a day and the only way to get it...

    What's wrong with my Evo?

    I went to reply to a text, got the Radio Interface deal, but then the X showed up near the service bar, so I took the battery out and turned it back on. The HTC logo popped up, then the Virgin Mobile animation, but then it just went to a black screen(but the notifaction bar was still up top...

    VM issuing Radio Interface fix

    From their Twitter I figured they were just going to pretend the error didn't exist like they did with the Triumph's errors.

    buying a stolen Evo V

    So, somebody on craigslist is selling a "brand new, never opened" VM Evo V for only $150. This is clearly a stolen phone. its really not my concern how they got it though, cuz for $150 it's worth it. Now my question is, will it still be able to activate if this guy/girl stole it straight...
