    Camera Quality

    I just got this phone and I noticed when I'm using the camera, the preview has digital lines all over it. Has anyone else experienced this? I want to make sure that this is normal, if not I'm exchanging it.

    Help Contacts Sync Error

    My contacts haven't been syncing since last week. When I go to Account and Sync, it shows a sync error for Contacts, but everything else syncs fine.

    Help Stuck on "EV" data

    I'm in Tampa, Florida and I received the Motion yesterday. This is my first MetroPCS phone and I am on the $55/month unlimited 4G plan. I've had various android phones the past couple of years so I'm not new to smartphones. Since I've activated it though, I've either had the 1x or EV data icon...
