    Got to play with Edge...now questions...

    I must say it does feel real nice in the hand minus the huge security device glued to it. :-) Some questions: 1) I didn't find anyway to rotate the text on the curved part. For my theoretical use it would be screen up to my left most times and the bottom of the text would be at the bottom...

    Fringe area radio performance

    I have opened up my phone search again after reading some things I am not overly thrilled with by other phones I am interested in. I am curious if anybody had an Edge yet that uses it in fringe areas that could comment on radio performance. Being in contact it very important to me and my Droid...

    Played with MDT for 1/2 hour ....impressions/Questions

    Went to Verizon strictly to play (much to their chagrin). Some of my observations. I am measuring my observation against my Droid DNA (HTC) owned for two years which is old and not overly speedy (part of my desire to spend some of my money on something quicker and more responsive). One...

    Is the Samsung rebate on preorders legit?

    https://samsunggalaxypromotions.com/Note4/ I have been looking for two days for anything that would validate it as true. However the "links" on that webpage are not only dead they don't have a hover option. Its almost like someone pasted up a .jpg on a screen. The webpage above goes outside...

    QI Wireless Charging

    Was curious if the 4 will have NFC charging with the only need to buy a wireless charging stand? I have the Nokia DT-910 that I use on my DNA and was kinda hoping to be able to use it with the Note 4/Edge. Its says its NFC enabled, but that could me varying levels of support. Anybody NFC...

    Help Picture gallery file structure...

    So I have pictures in a gallery. I would like to keep them in a very specific sequence (as in gallery view with thumbnails they all look the same). I copied them originally from a PC and they don't follow file name convention (ss_001, ss_002, etc) for order arrangement. So I "re-saved" them...

    Help Hard reboot versus soft reboot..?

    OK over the last couple days I have downloaded an app that is sucking my battery dry. So fast that it actually caused the phone to shut down due to lacking battery, :( . Usually I can go about 2 days before having to charge. This issue caused me to charge every twenty hours. :mad: When the...

    How fragile are SIM cards?

    I have not dropped, banged, bopped or clunked my phone. Its not even seven days old. I am beginning to wonder if the SIM card is junk? I keep getting no SIM card installed error icon at the top of the screen and it requires a reboot to make it go away. At the same time, I lose all my...

    Help Handcent personal contact pictures

    I got Handcent on a recommendation of another forum member and for the most part its definately an upgrade to the stock version minus some of the hanging at the lock screen (acknowledge message and it remains there) and it pulls up the quick reply screen even if I am on the main Handcent screen...

    Help Text messages...please tell me...

    That there is a way to change it to a basic list of messages between two people without downloading a program. I came from the Dinc and the list of message after message was much better for me. The text "balloons" are beyond juvenile. Of the dumb things HTC had to copy from Flapple....

    Looking for router (wireless) recommendations

    As I go through looking for a new router to replace my POS Westell, I find 50% of the reviews hate XXX router and then 50% love it and will die for it. So it makes it hard to figure out fact from fiction. I want to be able to have 802.11 B/G/N. I will be using an old (Vista) computer with a...

    Retiring the Dinc...but can I...

    Can I still use it as a wireless device and browse the web, install stuff from Google play? I want to use it as a starter device for my son and it has a bunch of his games on it already. Obviously I won't have 3G network or the ability to use it as a phone, but I was hoping I could just still...

    Rear LED Notification light?

    Where is it? Someone said to the left of the camera, but I dont see it? Does the OtterBox shown below cover it up? In the second picture, is it the off color circle kind of in line with the left edge of the white label?

    Calander Widget, versus app

    I am looking to get my HTC Calander widget functionality from my DInc. It seems the GoCalander seems to be what I want but I want to make sure. I am pretty sure I want to use GOLauncher; just wish I could use the GoCalander without a launcher to start. Note: I don't have the phone yet which...

    Help Close to purchasing a GSIII, but some concerns

    I currently own an HTC Incredible 1. Its seems very interwoven with Google (which I personally am ok with/like). Heck it even has Google stamped on the back of the phone case. But I am worried that a lot of the feature I enjoy are not usuable and are strictly tied to the Incredible/HTC versus...
