    Exchange calendar app?

    I just installed Mailwise to be able to receive e-mail on my Android phone without having to accept restricted company security settings. There are many e-mail clients that support Exchange without enforcing company security settings. I was wondering if there are also Android applications that...

    Phone suggestions for kid who needs band 12?

    We are switching BFs son onto our phone plan with t-mobile. He does need band 12 because of where he lives. Any phone suggestions? Looking for an older model. Durable is a plus, but we can always get a case for that. Any suggestions? Not sure if a t-mobile branded device might be easier for...

    Features that will not work work T-mobile?

    This will be my first unlocked, unbranded device. I just read a very confusing article about band 12 not being included? I think that may have been only on the t-mobile branded phone? I have a t-mobile branded Note 4 right now. What features will I be missing when I switch? Wifi calling...

    Alternative to Flygrip?

    I've had a flygrip for a couple years now. The first type that snapped into place worked well. The new magnet version was so nice until it started getting wiggly and opening on it's own. I tried to change cases and the magnet fell off. I super glued it back on, but the thing is having issues...

    Quality charger cords?

    I've been buying the 2amp monoprice cords from amazon, but they wear out extremely quickly. The little metal prongs that stick out of the back side of the micro USB plug seem to push in. Then the charger just falls out of the phone when a gentle breeze blows. They are cheap and under...

    Help Issue with Tethering or Hotspot

    I have a thread in the T-mobile forum, but am thinking I might get more of a response here. T-mobile keeps telling me I'm using up all my HotSpot allowance, but I've never turned on the HotSpot for this phone. The tech guy on the phone said that there may be an app sucking it dry in my...

    Mobile Hot Spot Phantom User?

    I've been with T-mobile for less than 2 months. 2 weeks after starting with them I rcvd a message saying that my 500MB of mobile hot spot was used up. I've never used the hotspot! I'm not even running a rooted rom so it's a bit hard to accidentally turn on. I called and spoke to a CSR and was...

    Tethering? Need to Root?

    I'm a little confused about the T-Mobile plan. I have the Note 2 with the unlimited data and the GS4 with the 500GB of data. We really only tether on the weekends maybe 8 times a year total for both phones. Is this capability included in the regular data plan/stock rom? Do I need an extra...

    Reliable email!

    This is making me crazy... I sort through thousands of emails a day throughout 6 accounts. Two are for work and the other 4 personal. The two work account I only check email on the phone never sorting or deleting. My problem is that I often have to delete emails 3 or 4 times before they leave...

    Speed compared to Sprint?

    I've been a sprint customer for about 3 years now... Been trying to stick it out with all the service hiccups. But the speed has been irritating me a lot lately. Just did a speed test and my pings 5169ms Download 3kbps Upload 28kbps Is that awful speed according to T-Mobile? Does...

    Need help from skilled photographers

    I'm usually taking pictures of my critters in low light setting inside the house. My pictures rock when taken outside. But inside I always get weird lighting orbs from the light outside, or the TV, or even the lights inside. How do I make them better? 2 picture examples are Birfday Baffs...

    Root [Sprint] [resolved]Sprint customer service issues & Root issues

    That I have with Sprint leaves me shaking my head. I actively realize that I have a really low tolerance for stupid. I often need to take deep breaths before I respond so I'm not extremely rude. Do they really do that poor of a job educating/screening their reps? Would it be rude to ask how...

    Signal strength GS3 VS Note 2?

    Does anyone know or understand why these two phones have different signal strengths? My Note 2 seems to be awesome for phone signal and 3G. The GS3 can be right next to the Note 2 (or placed right in the exact same spot the Note 2 was in) and has no data and is roaming. I'm so confused and am...

    Other free map apps? Or cheap?

    No matter what "keep your screen on app" I am to try, Google maps dims within a minute or so. Which doesn't help when it inconsistently tells you about the upcoming turns. Is there another navigation app that does not dim the screen? But will still not get me lost? I'm directionally...
