    Mofi case for Desire Eye

    While I wait for the Dot View cases to become available, I bought the Mofi case from Amazon for less than $20. Overall, it's a well made case that looks nice (I got black leather) and gives the phone nice protection. The front flap is rigid metal (I believe, as it seems to be magnetic for some...

    Picked up the Desire Eye this weekend

    I've used the Galaxy S4 over the past 18 months, but had constant hardware problems. After my 4th S4 started failing, I decided it was time to switch. I enjoyed the S4 when it worked, but I decided I'd pass on the S5 given my problems. So I was looking at the LG G3 and the HTC M8. I was a...

    how to run apps that are "not compatible"?

    There are a couple of apps that are not compatible (per the Play store) but I suspect its just a testing issue. How can I fool an app into thinking my HD+ is another device, say a Transformer? Can I do it without rooting? Do I need to root to do it? Thanks

    Help New S4 - how long does OTA update take?

    Just got an ATT S4 yesterday, and tonight I noticed it's downloading an OTA update. Seems like it's taking a while ~45 minutes or so. The phone is not locked up, and I seem to have both wifi and network traffic, but I can't believe the update takes that long. Any comments/advice?

    Great deal

    We have a B&N membership, which means we get discounts and coupons throughout the year. I don't pay that much attention to them, except this month in the usual coupons was one for a nook HD for $125 and nook HD+ for $145/$165 (16GB/32GB). I have a nook color and like it, but it's a little...

    SanDisk 64GB micro SD problems

    Just a note to say that I put a SanDisk 64GB micro SD card in my LG Nitro and it's working fine. I want to carry all my music, and it wouldn't fit on a 32GB card, so I tried the 64GB based on reports that it worked on the Galaxy S3. Works fine once you format it in the phone. EDIT - UPDATE...

    Help problem with wifi+4G since ICS upgrade

    Hey gang, Ever since I've updated to ICS, I'm having a problem with email or browser updates when I have wifi on. It seems like the phone gets confused over which network to use, so it just sits there and spins without updating. If I turn off wifi, then it immediately updates or go to the...

    Help How do I lock the power button?

    Ever since I've updated to ICS, I find that I accidently turn my phone off in my pocket. The power button will now bring up a screen to turn off the phone even if I don't unlock the screen, and my butt will turn off the phone. Of course, since it's in my pocket, I don't notice for a while and...

    Help How to swap browser icon for Dolphin?

    Okay, somehow I lost my browser icon from the 4 "permanent" shortcuts at the bottom of the screen. Previously I somehow swapped it out for Dolphin, but I can't remember how I did it, and now I can't even get anything put on that level. If I press/hold there, nothing happens. If I press/hold...

    update from ATT?

    Just got notification of a software update from ATT. I was excited thinking it was ICS, but after the update, my phone still shows Android 2.3.5 (what was it before?). All my apps are updating though, so something changed. Any ideas?

    Help phone remains unlocked after BT call in car?

    I just bought a new car with a bluetooth system. Works great with my phone with one exception. When I receive (and maybe make) a call via bluetooth using the car menu, the screen unlocks. This is a problem since the phone is in my pocket and then it's just pressing random buttons/actions...

    Hello from Houston

    I just picked up a Sony Ericsson Xperia X10, my first Android phone. I also got a Nook color for Christmas, so I guess I'm two deep into Android now (though I still haven't decided on rooting my NC). I bought the X10 unlocked so I'll be looking for the updates/improvements to the phone...
