    Hi all. So I have an odd issue with an LG G5 model RS988 that I am using in East coast USA. Whether I am on wifi or mobile data with my cricket Sim card (running off att APN) I have high latency in every aspect of data connectivity and slow load times. As soon as I use ANY VPN app to connect...

    Help i9500 KitKat video issue

    Ever since updating to kitkat on my i9500 I have an annoying issue that happens randomly. When I reboot the phone everything works fine, but at some point randomly (could be in an hour, could be a week) all of a sudden when I try and play a video either on youtube or in the gallery, the screen...

    Help Unofficial "View" or "Windowed" cases.

    Hi. A bit confused about something that I would like to get straightened out. I just bought my mom a note 3 for mothers day and I am looking to get her a case for it. I think she would like the S-View flip style but it doesn't really offer much protection as it replaces the back cover as...

    If anybody ordered from Negri Electronics

    I couldn't wait any longer, so I asked if they knew when they would be getting the S2. The rep I talked to said they would be getting the Galaxy S2 by Friday (Tomorrow 5/6/11 [thanks XplosiV for pointing out my goof..]) and preorders will ship first. I preordered in March, so hopefully mine...
