    Help "Copy to Clipboard" option gone?

    My apologies if this has been asked recently but I'm not sure if it's an OS issue or is phone-specific. I'm used to inserting images into my emails by using "Copy to Clipboard" from the Share menu in Gallery. Now it's gone. I have an S5 on AT&T running 5.1.1. The phone recently installed a...

    Help VERY different charge rates per cable

    Why do I get such wildly different charge currents into my tablet (Galaxy Tab Pro), depending which similar USB cable I choose? The most extreme example is one that only allows .28A to charge my tired tablet whether the cord is plugged into a wall wart, fast charger, or basic linear 5 power...

    Desert island entertainment options

    Here's a scenario--you're stationed on a desert island with no cable...no dish...no OTA stations for hundreds of miles. You're there on work assignment and your only task is to monitor a test--which leaves you many hours of free time to try to entertain yourself. You have access to the...

    looking far an app that streams live tv

    Title should have said live US tv... There seems be be a bunch of choices out there but all I've looked at are filled with weird foreign channels and niche channels. What's a good one that carries network programs?

    Does Pandora "push" certain artists?

    I created a Clash channel and I'm liking the eclectic mix of mid-70's thru 80's punk, new wave, ska, euro-pop, etc. Just one nagging problem -- Pandora wants to force - feed me mega doses of Adam Ant. I'm talking doubling - down most times. I thumb-down every time and still one of his songs...

    TV via cellular--still a dream?

    I have a cottage in the boonies where there's no OTA TV signal, cable and sat are very expensive considering the limited use (2-4 days per month). I do get a good cell signal there--but only on AT&T towers. Streaming video via cellular would seem to be an easy solution but unlimited data...

    My daughters incredibly stupid scam

    My 22yo daughter just informed me she had this great idea to open a Verizon account, get 5 high-end phones for $50 each, then sell the phones & cancel. I know what's going to happen but apparently, incredibly, she didn't. :pound: Does anybody know a good excuse that will at least get Verizon to...

    Possible to check IMEI activation history?

    I sold a phone on eBay and the buyer in Russia is claiming he never received it. I can prove I shipped it and I have tracking info but USPS claims it can't track in Russia so all I know for sure is it left US customs. Paypal has seized the payment and the claim is in process. I've been told...

    Can I place a call direct to someone's voicemail?

    I hope this isn't a stupid question... I occasionally get a voicemail where my phone doesn't ring and it's not in use at the time. Blocking is off, sound is on, etc, next call will ring normally. Can I place a call directly to voicemail?

    T-Mo vs. AT&T versions on Net10

    My daughter just bought a used T Mobile G2 to bring on our Net10 family plan. I warned her to get an AT&T-branded phone because of info I read on Net10's website that says you only get LTE speed with an AT&T-branded phone. She didn't listen :-/ I've also seen many pages of complaints of data...

    Why can't a T-Mo phone get LTE?

    On the Net10 website it sez a T-Mobile phone will get 4G but not LTE. An AT&T-branded phone will get LTE. What's the difference, since they're both GSM phones and will be on the same AT&T towers??

    Change in Net10 plan wording

    Looks like Net10 has tweaked their Plan wording a little since I joined. Under Unlimited Monthly Plans what you get is listed as: "No International Calls Auto-Refill Unlimited* Talk / Text Picture Messaging Web / Email and call 411" And under Family Plans it says: "Unlimited* National Calls...

    "Smart" charger?

    Does the phone or the charger determine when a battery is full? Or is the answer "neither"? Can the battery be damaged if left on the charger all night--or even several days? I've heard conflicting answers to these questions. The reason I'm asking (now) is I was shopping for a desktop dock...

    Where can I view my account data usage?

    I switched phones mid-cycle so the data usage shown on my phone is the incorrect total. I haven't found anywhere on the Net10 website or My Account pages where I can view my monthly current data usage. Does this ability exist?

    do android phones suffer "glitches"?

    My wife and I both have Galaxy S3 phones. Last week my morning alarm didn't go off and I found the setting had changed to Friday only...instead of M-F. On her phone she claimed to have lost mobile data one day and when I checked I found her Net10 APN was gone and the default old AT&T APN...
