    A few discussion topics about 3G&4G...

    Just curious ... 1. Is 3G honestly faster than 4G? 2. As more and more people start to use 4G networks, will that free up 3G networks, making them possibly faster? 3. Which 4G network is the best right now, speed and coverage wise?

    Help Why does my display brightness keep turning itself up to 100%?

    Is anyone else having this problem? Like most of us, I have mine turned down to about 25-30% to save battery. Automatic screen brightness is turned OFF, so that is not a factor. I also cannot pinpoint it to anything (like the use of an app, etc). I'll just all of the sudden notice that its...

    EVDO service degrading in Michigan? Or is it my phone?

    Ok so we're all phone geeks here, and we pay attention to details and to patterns regarding our phone usage.

    Well, I am now experiencing text input lag in portrait mode now...

    First it was Landscape mode only, but now portrait landscape on my 2.1 is just as laggy as it is in landscape mode. This is f*cking unbelievable! Anyone else experiencing this and are there any known fixes yet?

    Has anyone tried reloading 2.1 again? (before I waste my time)

    I am thinking about doing a hard reset, and then reloading 2.1 to see if reloading it will fix the tremendous lag and sub-par battery life (when compared to 1.5). Has anyone tried this yet? before I go erasing all of my apps yet again, I would like some opinions. Thanks!
