    Samsung Mega on Sprint 4GLTE vs WiFi

    I'm happy to report that my neighborhood (and general area) in Long Beach/Lakewood CA finally has a strong Sprint 4G LTE signal. Using just cell signal, my Galaxy Mega 6.3 is almost as fast as my Verizon FIOS WiFi at home. Some of the areas around here are so saturated with 4G LTE that WiFi is...

    Which 4G LTE device best on 3G only?

    I love the Note II but hate the price so probably going with the Samsung S3 or HTC Evo 4GLTE on Sprint...just not sure which. Main concern, since I'll be stuck on 3G until LTE comes to Southern California, is which device will give me the best data service on 3G? Thoughts?

    Accessories Evo 4G extended battery

    Better late than never...got this Evo 4G extended battery and replacement back cover for $8 + $3 shipping from Amazon. After 4-5 full cycle charges, it's giving me 2 full days of life after HEAVY use. The back cover is perfect and makes the phone much easier to use (for me anyway). Hey, for...

    Skyfire browser on Droid X

    After finally adjusting to the option of using both Skyfire and the default browser on the X, I have found that I can watch flash sites quite well on Skyfire using their own proprietary system that uses less bandwidth than flash but yields very good results. For eaxmple, right now I'm watching...

    Use phone as hearing aid?

    Back when I had an HTC Eris and discovered the market, I posted a comment in February 2010 (http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/41943-sound-amplifier-hearing-aid-app.html#post1189799) about an app for using the cell phone as a hearing "aid" I was informed today that the Iphone has an app now...

    Help Facebook apps are a mess

    Is it just me or are ALL the Facebook apps (including the ones pre-installed) are crappy? I've tried them all so maybe I'm just too picky. I have found that just bookmarking the original FB site and then creating a widget works best.

    Accessories Free "DockRunner" app same as home dock!

    This has been posted before but it's too cool to not re-post. Why buy the VZW home dock when you get the exact same thing on your X (minus the hardware and HDMI jack) by installing the free "DockRunner" app from the market? It even lets you have your your original home screen and all other...

    Soft & hard reboots on X fixes bugs

    I've posted this before but it has been working for my X. Minor lags, app downloads, etc appear to go away with each soft reboot (I've only done 4 since Friday) and 2 hard reboots have got my X running a lot better since I got it. I don't mind rebooting since it has obvious (to me ) results...

    Help How do I darken home buttons?

    This may sound trivial, but when I watch a video at night, the four button lights at the bottom of the phone (home, menu,back and search) are so bright it distracts from the screen. Am I missing a simple solution to fix this? I've tried various brightness apps but none of them control these...

    I jst moved to a new house that is 2 blocks from a VZW cell tower. My Incredible is now extremely faster than before I moved. I always have 4 bars and that's great. However, something is happening now that makes me wonder if being too close to a tower is causing this. I believe there is now...

    Will HTC Evo work on Verizon?

    Why can't the Sprint HTC Evo operate on Verizon? Is it the WiMAX vs. LTE that is the hitch? Could an unlocked Evo function on VZW? I would appreciate someone explaining this. I already have the Eris and a Moto Droid now and am considering the Incredible but the Evo is really what I want...

    Apple files for import ban of HTC Phones to U.S.

    Maybe this is redundant but since Apple has now upped the anty by filing additional motions to immediately stop importation of HTC phones into the USA, this could explain all the delays and lack of news from Verizon about Incredible and Nexus One. Here is the link and excuse me if its already...

    Supersonic is HD2 for Android?

    Having spent way too much time following the growth of the Android OS and the line-up of new phones coming out, the HTC Supersonic (which would be the HD2 converted to Android) seems to be the best device yet (with the Incredible a close second). The HD2 is generally recognized as the most...

    Help Sound amplifier/hearing aid app?

    I have searched for an app that would allow a hard of hearing person to use earbuds and have the phone amplify the ambient sound to act as a poor man's hearing aid or souns amplifier. Not even sure if this is possible but it seems it might work in theory. Any developers out there know if this...

    At what point does the constant search for the latest, greatest phone come to a screeching halt (at least for a while)?

    We have both the Droid and the Eris in our house. Ok, wouldn't it be great to have Sense UI on the Droid? and, it would be great to have Droid's processor on the Eris. I feel like I could use the Droid as a self defense weapon if I had to because it's so darn tough and solid feeling. But the...
