    New to the HTC One M8

    Hi everyone, I recently lost my Moto X, and for reasons too many to name, I decided to replace it with the HTC One M8. I'm still learning all the cool things about the phone, and was hoping you guys could help me out. Have any tricks or must have app/accessory recommendations for me?

    I lost my Moto X :(

    More accurately, it was stolen. And you can now no longer get the 32 GB model through AT&T - you have to order it through motomaker.com, and they're telling me it will take 6 days to ship. I don't think I can be without a phone for 6 days. This is so frustrating - this was the perfect phone...

    Unable to set Swype as default keyboard (Nexus 7)

    Just recently, my Nexus 7 decided to go back to the Google keyboard as the default. Swype is still installed, I can open it and change the settings, but it is not given as an option when in a text input field. I've disabled the Google keyboard, and after doing so, I only have voice input options...

    hi everyone!

    I'll be receiving my new Moto X next week as a Christmas present, to replace my Samsung Galaxy S3. My S3 is a great phone, but when I had a chance to play with the Moto X extensively while waiting for my boyfriend's phone to be upgraded on a very busy day at the Verizon store, I fell in love. It...

    Help please: Unable to locate Facebook in Google Play Store

    I updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 tonight to 4.3 and when I search for the Facebook app in the store on my phone, it finds it but tells me there was an error downloading it. If I search for it on the play store on my desktop browser, it doesn't find it at all. Can someone provide an official link...

    Blocking mode toggle switch or app with similar functionality?

    I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and have found the "Blocking Mode" feature to be very useful; however, it's annoying to me to have to go into my settings first to turn it on. AT&T decided that adding the toggle to the notifications shade toggles was something we don't get. Is there an app (similar...

    Help Kies software issue

    I don't use Kies very often, but recently, I tried connecting it, and got an error that my device is not supported by Kies. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 on AT&T, and although I've had struggles with Kies, it always connects eventually, until now. Does anyone have any ideas? I also seem to be...

    Google Play issues?

    I purchased a game tonight, but I purchased it through the play store in my browser. It took my payment, but never registered that I purchased the game. So I tried again - this time, the payment went through and it now shows that I've purchased the game, but I cannot install it on my Nexus 7. It...

    Help Battery warranty questions

    A few months ago, I purchased a spare battery for my Galaxy S3. For a while, it worked fine, but the last week or so, every time the spare is in my phone, it will randomly reset or power off completely, even with a full charge. With my normal battery (at least, what I assume is the normal...

    Help Do I need to return my S3?

    I got my Galaxy S3 in September, and I love it, but I've been having some minor issues - most notably, notifications not happening unless I reboot the phone, or not at all. In addition to that, the phone freezes or reboots on its own about once a day. Yesterday, I had the bright idea of doing a...

    Spare battery charger that isn't also a dock?

    I'm looking for a spare battery charger for my S3 that isn't also a dock. I already have a dock, and I'm looking for something that will simply plug into the wall, and sit flush against the wall (no cables) - similar to those Energizer chargers for AA batteries do - even better if the prongs...

    LG Tone HBS-700 vs. Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset

    I have a SGS3, and I'm on the market for a bluetooth headset. These two are the ones I'm trying to decide between. I hate the ones that go over the ear and behind the head - they hurt my ears, and they're too bulky for me. I like the small size of the Sony Ericsson model, but I'm reading...

    Reliable source for inexpensive replacement battery?

    I recently purchased what I thought was a genuine Samsung battery for my GS3 on Amazon. When I received it, however, I quickly determined that it was most likely a fake (too thick, NFC did not work...) I've since returned it and should get a refund shortly, but I'm going to need to replace it...

    Looking for weather/clock widget...

    I have recently switched from Touchwiz to the Nova launcher, and it appears that I can no longer use the stock clock/weather widget, which I actually liked. Does anyone know of a similar one that is usable on a non-rooted galaxy s3?

    I'm a full time student, and I'd really like a GPA calculator/tracker for my phone. I recently swapped my iPhone for the Galaxy S3. On my iPhone, I had an app called FourPoint that was PERFECT.

    Possible to buy replacement back cover for the Galaxy S3?

    I haven't been able to find a case for my phone yet - at least not one I actually like, and I'm noticing some slight scratches at the bottom of the back cover. Obviously, it's not going to hinder the functionality of the phone, it's purely cosmetic, but I'd like to replace it when I do find my...

    Hello everyone :)

    My name is Danielle, and I just purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 yesterday. I joined this forum because I want to learn as much as I can about how to use my new phone. My previous phone was an iPhone 4, so this is a big change for me, but a very welcome one.
