    Android app compatibility

    I have a general question about Android apps. If an app is incompatible with a phone model, using Android Lollipop 5.1.1 as an example and the developer asks for the model number of the phone, what has to be done in order for the app to be compatible with the phone? Do they provide the phone's...

    Phone bricked? Maybe not...

    My Galaxy Exhibit 2 was running a little sluggish last week while it was running the Opera browser. Not sure what the problem was. But I did the trick to reset the phone, by removing the battery while the phone was powered on. After a few minutes, I put the battery back in and the phone...

    Battery Usage and Charging

    This is regarding the T-Mobile (Huawei) Prism smartphone, but my inquiry is more of a general nature, so I hope this is the correct forum to place this in. Both at home and at work, I'm within line-of-sight of T-Mobile towers, as a result, the phone always displays full bars, so signal is not...

    RAYOVAC Batteries

    BatteriesPlus/Batteries+Bulbs stores carry RAYOVAC cell phone batteries. Has anyone purchased one of these batteries and has it performed well? Because their stores are franchises, the battery prices (at least on their web site) are somewhat more expensive than un-branded batteries I've found...

    Help SID display

    Ported over from metroPCS today. Better network, faster speeds; and it's Verizon. :) Does anyone know how to display the current SID that the phone is on? On the Status menu, it displays the network as "Verizon Wireless", but does not show a SID. Thanks.

    Signal Bars EDGE/3G

    Just bought a Samsung Dart, great phone for the money. I am within line-of-sight of two T-Mobile cell sites, the closest is less than 1/2 mile away. When the phone is set to use 2G networks, the data icon changes to an E (EDGE) and displays full bars (4). In fact, because of my proximity...

    No-Contract expiration date

    In switching from the PAYG no-contract plan to a PBTD or monthly plan, the text-based My Account page shows a balance expiration date which was the date the plan changed from PAYG to one of the others, yet the My Account Android app does not display an expiration date. Once this expiration date...

    Antivirus scanned downloaded software while web browsing

    This evening, I was using my phone to look at the BBC web site (m.bbc.co.uk). As one of the pages was loading in, AVG (antivirus software) kicked in and displayed it was scanning downloaded software. I have never seen this before while web browsing. AVG did not report a problem with that...

    Help Factory reset after software upgrade

    My M835 originally had the Build 622 software installed (B622 at the end of the version number). It has since been upgraded to Build 666 (B666) that was provided via Huawei's web site. If I do another factory reset of the phone, will the phone revert back to B622, or will it reinstall B666...
