    App for group texting non Android users

    My coworkers often group text each other and I feel left out because the texts come through as an mms. A button appears that says download, but clicking download will not make it download, it will make it say download forever. This happens when people try to send me pictures as well. Sometimes...

    Help phone no longer charges through computer (well)

    I've had this phone for approximately 4 months. As of two days ago, it barely charges when plugged in by USB to the computer. It has always been slower to charge it through the computer than to plug it into the wall, but this is different. If I plug it into the computer (Macbook Pro) and use...

    Android File Transfer - no thumbnails?

    I downloaded Android File Transfer to transfer photos from my Samsung Galaxy 3 to my Mac. It work, but only shows me the file names, no thumbnails. Is there another program which allows me to see thumbnails of the photos and files on my phone? I didn't have this problem with my old phone. The...

    Help How to record phone calls with Easy Voice Recorder Pro?

    I had Easy Voice Recorder Pro on my old phone, a Kyocera Rise, and was able to use it to record phone calls, which was necessary for work. Now I have a Samsung Galaxy 3 and this capability is blocked. Only my voice is recorded. The app FAQ says the hardware or operating system of certain phones...

    Help alternate way to reach open apps menu?

    On my old phone, a Kyocera Rise, the bottom right "button" pulled a menu with thumbnails of open apps. If you swipe them to the side, they close. On this phone, I somehow discovered pressing the volume down button and the center button together will bring up this menu. It's very awkward. I...

    Help Help me choose a new phone

    My Kyocera Rise is on the outs. It was a pretty good phone for my purposes, but I need an upgrade. I'll list what I want out of a phone and you tell me if one exists. -I like the slide-out QWERTY keyboard. I know this severely limits my options, so I'm willing to give it up if I have to. -4G...

    does it come with Mobile ID?

    I currently have a Kyocera Rise with Virgin Mobile. I need to upgrade and I'm looking at this LG Volt. I would stick with Virgin Mobile. I have to ask if if it also comes with the extremely annoying app called Mobile ID that tries to install itself every time I turn my phone on. I don't even...

    Help Google Plus app - can't connect to server, can't update

    I used to have it set up that all of my photos were backed up through Google Plus. Then I went to Europe in July where my phone would not work (Kyocera Rise), and I reset it, that might be the more relevant part. I got a new memory card, wiped everything and reinstalled everything. But it seems...

    Help ideal dimensions for background picture?

    The last time I changed the background photo on my phone, it did something new. It zooms in on the picture and as I slide from screen to screen, the picture moves too so you're seeing a different part of it. It allowed me to crop the photo, but no matter what I do, when I slide over to the...

    how to save texts?

    Before you yell at me for asking a question that's been asked before, I'm not necessarily interested in saving all of my text messages, just ones with one particular person. I downloaded SMS Backup, but I'm wary of giving it permission to view and manage my mail... Also, I'm not sure if this app...

    Help how to go about backing up and resetting phone?

    It's gotten to a point where I can't deal with the slowness anymore. I'm going on a trip next week and want my phone to be a clean slate. How do I go about backing up everything important and then resetting it? It used to be faster, have better battery life, etc. Can I get any of that back?

    Help apps frequently quit

    Whenever I'm switching between apps, they frequently quit on me. For example, I'm using gmail then want to go back to Words With Friends and Words With Friends quits unexpectedly. It happens a lot. More often than not. The phone itself seems very slow to me, very laggy. I don't have a lot of...

    Help camera not working

    I'm having issues with the camera on my Kyocera Rise. When I snap a photo, the shutter sound clicks, but the photo doesn't take. Instead it displays a message Could not connect to camera. It only happens sporadically. Sometimes the photo does take. Is there an explanation for this? Something I...

    Help how to undo password protection?

    I set my phone to have the password grid every time I want to use it, but when I changed it from the default, I realized I lost some other good features, like having the camera app on that first screen along with the flick to unlock option, and now I don't know how to put my phone into airplane...

    Help how to edit contacts?

    I just upgraded to this phone and since my old phone was so old, the guys at Radio Shack weren't able to transfer my contacts over via bluetooth. No big deal, I did it all manually, but I seem to be unable to edit them once I add them. For example, I added my sister and forgot to list her in the...

    how to avoid installing Essentials ID on VM Kyocera Rise?

    I just got this new phone and never having had an android phone before, there is a steep learning curve. I keep getting this pop-up to install Essentials ID, which I looked up online and it seems like most people don't want it. They find it non-essential and cumbersome. So while I don't even...
