    T-Mo unlock rule

    Is T-Mobile's unlock rule for -prepaid- accounts that you cannot be given more than 2 unlock codes in a 12 month period, or that you cannot make more than 2 requests in a 12 month period? That is, suppose you make 2 requests and the second request is denied for whatever reason (eg you did not...

    Help TMo LG Optimus F3 - microSD card unstable when device gets warm?

    I have a rooted, unlocked TMo LG Optimus F3. Sometimes when the device gets too warm, I have problems with the microSD card. Basically it unmounts itself and then either (a) remounts itself and the device has to go through the usual scanning media process (chewing up my battery), or (b) doesn't...

    Best sub 4.3" phone?

    Currently on TMo but possibly willing to switch. I don't want a huge phone, but I don't want an underpowered little cheapo phone either. Any recommendations? Galaexy s4 mini vs Sony Xperia z1 compact?

    Help Does heat cause the f3 to reject micro sd cards?

    I've noticed that whenever my phone gets hot (either from overuse or being left out in the sun) I notice that I see the error message about the sd card being improperly removed. Is there something about temperature that could explain this?

    TMo data processed differently?

    Hi everyone, Back when I was on Sprint I was using around 400-500MB data per month. Switched to TMo (same phone except GSM) and now my usage is like 600, sometimes even 700MB per month. My usage patterns haven't changed. Back in the day when I was using a BBRY on Sprint I used about 300MB, and...

    Tapatalk not able to access AndroidForums?

    Is anyone else having issues with accessing AndroidForums using Tapatalk? Until maybe a week ago I had no problems using Tapatalk Pro (v4.2.5, LG Optimus F3 running Android 4.1.2) to access AndroidForums. Now when I try to get into AndroidForums, Tapatalk just hangs at the "connecting to...

    help resolving MetroPCS vs T-Mobile confusion

    Hoping someone can help resolve my confusion about MetroPCS and T-Mobile. I am thinking about getting an LG Optimus F3. I see that the F3 is available from the MetroPCS web site for $99 (after a $50 rebate). The web site doesn't really say it, but I assume this is a GSM phone that can be...

    Continue SERO or switch?

    I'm currently on a nice SERO plan (500 anytime, unlimited everything else, for $30/mo, or $40/mo on practically any 'modern' smartphone) and am facing the end of my contract. For as long as I can remember I've always used international phones, but that restriction is just starting to feel too...

    Blaze 4G-like phone with 3.5" screen?

    I'm hoping there are a few users like me left out there who could help me with a phone recommendation. I am on Sprint SERO now, but my contract is ending. Longtime Blackberry user but finally switched to Motorola XPRT (Droid Pro) because of the lack of apps. Now I am looking for a new phone...

    Error message, unable to purchase

    I keep getting an error message when I try to purchase a SIM. I've tried 3 different cards, one of which was registered to someone else at a different address, and I've checked to make sure the address on my billing statement matches what I entered in the form (which is what the tech person says...

    Help Support - sticking keys

    So far I've gone through 3 XPRTs. Each time, the phone was great until the keyboard started doing weird things: basically the keys would start sticking. I would often get double key presses, at other times the keys would not press, etc. Is this a known issue with the XPRT? Or did I just get 3...

    Samsung Galaxy Relay 4G Review

    I just got my Relay 4G and thought I'd jot down some notes. FYI I am a longtime keyboard phone user. Blackberry 8830 > Blackberry 9650 > Motorola XPRT (Droid Pro) > Relay 4G. By far my favorite keyboard ever was the keyboard on the 9650. The keyboard on the Relay is okay. Most likely my...

    Relay vs. Blaze

    I've ordered a Blaze 4G and a Relay 4G from T-Mobile. They should be arriving on Tuesday. Super excited. I'm hoping that someone here can give me a reason to go with the Relay over the Blaze. In general, I would prefer the Relay because of the keyboard, but I am not entirely certain the...

    Motorola XPRT Review (compared to Sprint Blackberry Bold 9650)

    I've been a stalwart Blackberry user, and a Sprint customer, for as long as I can remember. Over the past several years, after watching developers continue to ignore the Blackberry platform, it has been harder and harder to justify my phone choice. The only thing that has kept me a Blackberry...
