    Help Alternatives to S6? Must have removable battery, MicroSD slot

    I have been using Samsung Galaxy S3 for over two years. I have been planning and saving money to change to Samsung Galaxy S6 this year. However, I have just read that Samsung Galaxy S6 will have built-in non-removable battery and no MicroSD slot. Both are non-negotiable deal breakers for me...

    Thinking about suing Google over Android/Google+ integration

    I've been thinking about using a lawsuit to force Google to separate Android and Google+. I personally do not use - and will never use - any "social networking" site like Facebook or Google+. When I decided to adopt Android, Google+ was not integrated into Android. When I refused to to use...

    Google+ is on life support... Android and YouTube to be seperated from Google+?!?

    OMG! I'm so happy! It seems like Google+ has lost the battle to Facebook and is now on life support, and Google may just gives up on Google+. [URL="http://time.com/77080/if-google-heads-to-the-grave-at-least-itll-have-direction/"]If Google+ Heads to the Grave, at Least It

    I've been with MetroPCS for over 5 years. I've been very unhappy with MetroPCS' signals for about a year now. I am thinking of buying my last phone from MetroPCS, the Galaxy S5, and then switch over to T-Mobile with that phone. Are their phones and network systems compatible?

    Seeking high-quality charging cable that works with S3

    I had a LG cable, a Mediabridge cable, a DataStream cable, and a few other cheaper alternatives. At some point, my S3 stopped charging properly with all those cables: they charged very slowly, and my S3 was slowly losing charge even while it was plugged in and being recharged (and being used...

    Help Slow charging problem

    Seems like it's a common problem on Samsung Galaxy S3 *and* S4. The phone stops charging or charges very slowly, and loses charge when it's charging (AC) and being used at the same time. I had the problem about two or three months ago, but then it went away. Now it's acting up again...

    How to turn off emergency alerts?

    A few weeks ago the phone kept beeping flood alert even though my area had a perfect sunny day. The nonstop alerts were driving me insane. Today my phone keeps beeping an Amber alert a few times an hour for some kid who was abducted in San Diego, even though I was nowhere near San Diego...

    Fast-charging power adapter and cable?

    Looking for rapid charger for S3: a USB power adapter and a charging cable. They should be fast-charging, at least 1A preferable higher. Please recommend. Thanks. (My original adapter and cable broke. I'd rather not buy any more Samsung adapter and cable as I do not trust their quality.)

    Samsung USB Adapter damaged charging cables?

    A month ago, the Samsung S3 started to charge very slowly. After some experimenting, I replaced the OEM cable with a third-party cable and solve the problem. That's a high-quality third-party cable I bought from Amazon. I continued to use the OEM power adapter with the third-party cable...

    Games like EV Nova with good graphics?

    Is there any game like Escape Velocity: Nova on Android? iOS has plenty, (e.g., Warp Gate, Flatspace,) but Android has only one with underwhelming/amateurish visuals and an awkward interface (i.e., Star Traders.) I'm looking for one with good graphics and nice UI.
