    Help microSD card

    I went into a Sprint store yesterday trying to explain my poor 3G service. I showed the guy, or tried to anyway, my speedtest results.

    Note 3 charger

    I use the standard charger that came with the phone. Two questions: 1. The cable seems to be very, ummm.. wiggly? By that I mean loose when I plug it into my phone. Does that mean my charging port on the phone is messed up? It has to sit in a specific position to charge. 2. Does a 2.4a...

    Jellybean and S3

    I heard from a tech friend of mine that there was some trouble with getting 4.1 to work on the S3 and that's why we don't have it yet. Is this true? Does this have anything to do with theawsuit between Apple and Samsung? Is this why there is am S4 coming out already? Can I demand a new phone if...

    Otterbox's

    I just received my DroidX2. I looked on their main website and saw that they don't offer the defender series for a DroidX2 with an extended battery. Does the 1.5 millimeter difference really make it not fit? If so, what other protective casings could I get that's like the Defender series.

    G-mail

    A Verizon rep told me that in some cases G-mail accounts can become compromised and when you get a new phone that it will carry over problems when you set it up? Does this make sense?

    Battery life

    My Droid X is a year old. Great phone. I understand that in order to go a little faster you're going to have to use some gas, or battery life in this case. However, I am needing to charge my phone 2 sometimes 3 full times a day. Even Verizon couldn't figure it out. I have minimal settings...

    Mobile security

    I am sure this is the 1-809097873073 post about this. However, when searching for threads I didn't find anything that satisfied my curiousity. Everything seems to point towards Lookout Mobile.
