    Help Facebook Problems

    I have Facebook send me certain notifications via email like replies to my posts and birthdays. One thing that I often do (or would like to do) is click on the "comment" or "reply" link in the body of this Facebook message, have the FB client pop up and start typing. Once in a blue moon this...

    Help Help Me Get My Music Volume Up Please

    I have a Galaxy Note 5, but I've had the same problem with every Android device that I have ever owned. The sound volume when playing music on my device via Bluetooth in my car, is very low despite turning the volume all the way up on my device and all the way up on my stereo. This was the...

    Verizon vs. AT&T in the SF Bay Area

    Hi all. I want the best possible carrier and I am currently with AT&T. I switched to them from Verizon many years ago because the service at my house in that particular spot was terrible. I don't live there anymore and I have been reading that Verizon has surpassed AT&T in the Bay...

    Help Music Output Very Low

    Even at near max volume, the sound output on my Note 3 is very low. At first I thought I just had bad headphones, so I kept buying new ones. Nope. Then I thought there was something wrong with my hearing, so I went to the doctor. Nope. I blew it off for awhile. I just got a new car with...

    How Long Does it Take to Charge Your Note 3?

    I never timed it but from dead or nearly dead it takes me hours. More than 3. Possibly 5. I can live with it. I just charge it every night or every other night because the battery is so amazing and it's done when I wake up. But should I be concerned that it takes so long? Yes I am using...

    Help Why is the Music Quality on My Note 3 So Bad?

    There's no hissing or distortion, it's just flat. The bass doesn't pound at all. On my computer with my gaming headphones (not even expensive ones) music roars at my very soul. On my Note, it's just ho hum. First I thought it was my headphones so I bought some better ones. Not fantastic but...

    I can make a call but during a call if I have to go to my dial pad to enter an account number or something, I take the phone off my ear, the display comes on but when I put my hand near the screen to enter something into the keypad the display goes off again as if I had put the phone back to my...

    Need Help Choosing a Tablet/Ebook Reader

    My head is spinning with all of my options for a new device. I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 which I love. The screen is huge making it great for me to read books and watch movies on my daily commute and on my breaks and lunch at work. Doing this has me into reading again after not...

    Help Battery % in Notification Bar

    I noticed in some of the "show your desktop" screens for the Note 3 that some of you in addition to the battery icon have a % for the amount of battery left next to it. Is this a separate app or am I missing something in the settings? Thanks in advance.

    Need Help Choosing a New Phone

    I am currently using an LG Esteem on MetroPCS which I am happy to get away from now that I am finally back to work. Hence, I seek your advice on a good phone. I'm going to get a little off track for a sec about battery life. The LG Esteem battery is terrible. If I listen to music on it for...

    Root Phone Problem After ZVE Update

    I finally got around to updating my phone to ZVE. After doing so it unrooted so I decided to update to a new ZVE ROM. I tried two things to make this happen. First I tried running a TWRP installer which apparently reboots the phone into recovery. The batch file fails with a series of "The...

    My plug that connects my device to my computer has always fit snugly and suddenly out of nowhere I have to hold the cord at an angle to maintain a connection. Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a recommended solution?

    Root Get Rid of Hello, Hello, Hello

    It is my understanding that the old default Metro PCS boot animation with the "Hello, hello, hello, wireless for all", is removed with ZVD which I now have but I installed the [ROM] LD-LG Stock/Debloated ZVD and I still have it. Honestly I don't recall whether it was ever gone in the first...

    Help Has the Rebooting Issue Been Fixed?

    I am currently on B, upgraded to C and downgraded to B again where all phases had my phone rebooting about once every couple of hours completely at random regardless of root, apps, usage, etc. I was wondering if D or anything else fixes this problem. Since I haven't seen anything on this I...

    Help Notifications

    Since moving to the Droid from the iPhone, one of my few disappointments has been notifications. If I miss a call, email, sms, have a voicemail, etc, I either get no notification or only sometimes get a notification. I could find no setting anywhere on the stock droid to change that in any...

    Root Please Help Me Re-Root After FW Update

    I was having reboot problems (among a slew of other problems) so I decided to update my firmware. Didn't work. So I decided to wipe the slate clean and attempt to install a custom ROM. However it seems, and I hope that I am wrong, that this updated firmware doesn't allow for a root. I tried...

    I Was About to Go Back to My iPhone and then "She" Came into My Life!

    Oh LG Esteem, how I love thee. This device rocks. My first Android, Huwai Ascend of slowness, crashing and only slightly more memory than my first Treo way back in the days, left a bad taste in my mouth. Those days are over. Being relatively new to the Droid community, there are several...
