    T-Mobile vs AT&T in 2022

    I'm on AT&T right now but thinking of switching to T-Mo. I'm in the state of Arizona. How does t-Mo's service compare - better or worse? I have a Galaxy S9 phone now but might upgrade if I switch so I'd have a 5G phone then.

    Galaxy S9 Update - What's In It?

    I just got an update thru AT&T. It was a really big file, 696mb. My One UI and Android versions are the same, the security enhancements date were just one day later than before - its now August 28 vs August 27. Security patch level is still September 1. My kernel version changed, its now...

    Help Choosing Which Contacts to Display (S9 AT&T)

    How do I select specific groups of contacts to display on the phone, or be able to hide others? In my last phone it was under manage contacts. I do not see an option to do this. All of my contacts display. Is this something that AT&T removed from their version? Or was it removed from the...

    Should My Battery Life Be More?

    I think that my S9 (bought in June) is going through power too fast. Its been off the charger for 1 hour 13 minutes with no action (screen off, no calls, etc) and I am down to 95% according to GSAM battery monitor. The other day I went to a car show outdoors. I started with 100% and the phone...

    How to Replace the Metal Frame?

    How difficult is it to replace the bright metal frame that makes up the sides of the G4? I dropped mine. The screen is in perfect condition and so is the back, but it hit on one of the corners. There's a piece that's really sharp. The metal frame is the only part on my phone that shows wear...

    How Do I Export Slow Mo Video?

    The G4 has the slo-mo setting in video and I can play back videos on the phone in various speeds but how do I save this so I can export the video such as to post on facebook or elsewhere? It only exports as normal speed.

    LG Backup App Not Saving Raw Photos

    Under backup and restore in settings there is an option to back up the phone, a stock LG feature. I tried it, very simple to use and quick way to transfer stuff from one LG phone to another. BUT.... I discovered something that might mislead people. It appears that it does not back up .dng...

    Mobile Data and WiFi in Notification Bar

    I have the H810 (AT&T) version of the G4 now. When mobile data is turned on, it shows "4G LTE" in the notification area next to the battery and time. But when I turn on WiFi while keeping data turned on the 4G indicator goes away, replaced by the WiFi symbol. Is this normal? Is it a bug in...

    Help AT&T Usage Manager App

    This built-in app has 3 panels that show you battery, ram, and data usage. If you tap on the panels it takes you to the phone's other stock settings screens with more details. My data screen is stuck on last month's cycle date, and the amount of data shown keeps rising. If I click it, I go...

    Question About the Stock AC Charger

    With my original Verizon G4 (VS986), the white usb cable that plugs into the charger wall plug was also able to handle data, if I plugged it into my computer, so I could move files. Recently I had to change from Verizon to AT&T and I purchased a new AT&T G4 (the H810 model) on ebay. It was...

    Switched to AT&T No 4G LTE and Other Issues

    I just switched from Verizon to AT&T and ported my phone & number. Now I'm not getting 4G or LTE, I have a little icon that looks like "H" next to the bars. And my signal is 3G. Is this phone not compatible? The clerk in the store didn't know and I called support, they checked my APN...

    Batteries for the G4

    My batteries are not lasting as long as they used to. Has anyone had luck buying an extended battery? I've seen some on ebay that claim 6000mh which is double but they include a new back cover because its thick so I'd lose the nice leather-look. Are there any extended ones or higher capacity...

    Help Poor Call Quality

    I have a G4 on Verizon. The problem I'm having is that intermittently when I talk to someone locally on a landline with my phone, MY voice will come across to them as garbled, breaking up, or weak but THEIR voice coming thru my G4 sounds fine. The problem exists whether I am talking using a...

    File Manager

    I just got my G4 on the 2nd day it was available! I like it so far but there is a learning curve coming from Moto... One thing I do not like is the file manager. I have an SD card installed. But it seems like the stock file manager is showing me total storage when I just want to see the...

    Help Unfortunately Contacts Has Stopped

    I am getting this message frequently when I try to access the dialer OR contacts in order to make a call. It will say "Unfortunately Contacts Has Stopped" and exit out. If I keep tapping them I'll sometimes get this message 5 times or so before it'll finally launch and let me call. This is...

    Help Can't Download Images From Phone

    I have a new Razr Maxx HD w/Jelly Bean and my computer can see both the internal storage and the SD card, but I can't simply download images the way I used to - using windows explorer (win xp). When I try to copy or move an image, I get the error on the computer side, windows explorer has...

    Help GPS Not Working

    I bought a TBolt off a friend and discovered that it appears that the GPS does not work. It shows "on", but it does not see or lock onto any satellites. This means my location in Maps is off a bit, although sometimes its pretty close because I have Google Location and VZ location settings on...

    Help Phone Rebooting Itself

    I'm having a strange intermittent problem with the Droid X. It will just reboot itself. At random times. Can be on the charger or not, and when its just sitting idle. No warranty, so I can't return it. :( I've already done a factory reset when I bought it, and loaded the latest android...

    Help Problem With Email Sync

    I have my email account set up on the phone (my own server, not gmail). I have it set to not delete emails from the server because I use Outlook at home and that downloads all emails to store locally when I get home, so my server is emptied. I just want to download a copy of it on the phone to...

    Phone Contacts App for Eris?

    Does anyone know of an app that will help me organize my contacts on the Droid Eris? I don't really like the stock one. Now, ever since the OTA upgrade, it has created new groups that I really don't want such as VIP, Coworkers, family. I can't delete them. I wish there was an address...

    Browser Question

    Ever since the 2.1 OTA upgrade, when I open my web browser it defaults to an extremely tiny size. I'd describe it as fit-to-screen where the entire web page will be fit to the size of the phone screen, thus making the words unreadable. I have to use my fingers to expand it before I can read...

    Can You Go Back After Installing Leak?

    If I install this leaked v3 for the Droid Eris, would I be able to go back and set the phone to its factory config? What happens if it should need warranty repair/replacement? Will this void the warranty or would they know if I went back to the original version ROM?
