    Help What's the difference between buying from T-Mobile vs. Amazon or elsewhere?

    Hi all. I'm considering getting the S23 (regular), and I'd like to know if there are any benefits and/or drawbacks to buying an unlocked phone from Amazon vs. buying directly from T-Mobile. Will it work the same? Are the ones from T-Mobile optimized to run on T-Mobile, or is that not a thing...

    Help Why would a group text message get sent to each person individually rather than as part of the group

    Hi all. There is a group chat going between my mom, my sister, and me. My mom responded with a text, but somehow it went to me and my sister separately, i.e. it went to the text message thread of just my mom and me on my phone, and the thread for my sister and my mom on my sister's phone. My...

    Help Need help syncing Google Contacts to a Fire tablet

    Hi all. I got my mom a new Fire HD 8 tablet and installed Google Play services on it, and all of that seems to be working fine. However, she uses the default email program on the Fire tablet, which I have also set up with her email account, but when she tries to type in an email address, it...

    Help How can I tell what method I used to sign into my SwiftKey account?

    I just installed SwiftKey onto a new device, but I can't figure out which method to use to log in to my account. The only options seem to be Google or Microsoft. On my other devices where I'm already logged into the account in the SwiftKey app, I can see my email address, but there's no...

    Help Fire tablet: SD card unexpectedly removed?

    Does anyone know why I get this message on my Fire HD 8 (6th generation)? It has happened twice, and it makes apps installed on the SD card unusable. But nothing seems to be wrong with the SD card, because it's still usable otherwise. Restarting the tablet has fixed the issue once, but why...

    Help Suggestions for a good checklist app?

    Hi all. I'm hoping someone can give me a good recommendation (or two or three) for a good checklist app. What I want to use it for is simple: I want to create lists of books in a large series of books and use it to keep track of which I have read. Apps like Wunderlist, ToDoist, etc. don't...

    Help Network issue: stuck on Edge again

    Hi all. I posted this question a few weeks ago, at which point I was on the Edge network for several days, almost a week, and at the time there seemed to be an issue with the network around my area that was then fixed. However, since that time, I have been on the Edge network again a few times...

    Help Anyone getting poor/no data connection lately?

    Hi everyone. I've been using T-Mobile service in my current location for about two years and have never had an issue with my data connection. In fact, it's often quite fast at times (sometimes getting around 40Mbps, but usually more in the 10-20 range). But for the past week or so, I have been...

    Help What happened to my MLB.tv subscription?

    Hi all. I tried using my At Bat app today, but it said I wasn't a Premium subscriber. I had already logged in through my T-Mobile account a few weeks ago and had access to the Premium content, but today the app seemed to be back to the free version (with ads, etc.). I did a quick search and it...

    When I go to "History" in my Chrome settings, it will show all the open tabs I have in other versions of Chrome on my other Android devices (PC, phone, tablet, Chromebook), but I recently installed Google Play Services on my Fire 7 and downloaded Chrome there, but the open tabs for Chrome on...

    Help Amazon Fire: Why do home icons take a while to load when pressing home?

    Well, I have no idea if this is the right forum or if anyone will find this thread after the first few minutes, but I can't seem to find the Amazon Fire forum anymore after these forum changes went into effect. My question is, often when I press the Home button on my Fire, it will go to an...

    Help Switching tablets: can I keep my game progress?

    I'm thinking of getting the new Fire HD 8, but I have progress on several games on my current Fire and I'd hate to lose that. As far as I know, there aren't any cloud saves, unless Amazon somehow does this automatically. Is there any way I can bring my game progress over to the new tablet? Thanks!
