There is no evidence that cell phone use in planes would cause any issues with flights. However, the second I noticed the radio was on, I turned it off. I tend to use the in flight wifi to listen to Google Music and TuneIn.

Ok this is weird, when I have my BT on I keep getting a pair request from iwonpaymybills. I'm not in discovery mode, I'm already paired with my headset or nuvi. Question is wtf and where would it be in the file system so I can kill the file?

Why yes I do. I live in a downtown area. But see the problem is that it doesn't matter where I am, Dallas, Ft. Worth, Arlington it keeps coming up for pair every 2 mins. Just wonder where it would be.

He's molesting your bluetooth radio. Sodomizing it, all nasty like.

Agreed. You either have malware, or a stalker. Neither are good, but resetting your phone should get rid of the former. The police should help with the latter.

If it is a stalker, i can't figure out if said stalker is wanting to pay the OPs bills or if said stalker is wanting his/her bills paid.

That's not funny.. OK its funny..
Battery life is easily the worst part of this phone. Better batteries can't come soon enough.
I typically get 16 hours of normal usage (phone, text, email). I don't constantly stream Pandora or Netflix over 3G though...
Light usage gets me 24-26 on average. Of course, I start getting nervous once the battery gets below 40%. I'm used to it dropping like a rock after that from my days on the Moment with Froyo.

Don't even say that! And I couldn't imagine samsung letting them do that. They know it would crush them. This service will never come in time for this phone but it doesn't later cause this phone had the best battery life of any phone I have used our seen hands down. With multi core processors and more energy efficient phones and this new battery technology coming it is going to be so nice. I'll want me a electric crotch rocker that will go 10x father than the beastly ones that they have now. Pros for posting this for us sir. I appreciate it
I only get 4G at work and Saturday it was working fine. Sunday I was off so since I was at home (with no 4G and little to no 3G) I was on WiFi all day. So I get to work this morning and my 4G is just constantly scanning. I didn't really install any apps yesterday so no app could be the reason. My bill is paid (if it wasn't my 3G wouldn't be working right now). I have restarted several times and cut off the 3G to see if it works. In the wireless settings under the 4G settings i watched the 4G option and it would say "scanning" a few seconds later "connecting" then "obtaining IP address" a minute or two later "disconnected" and does it all again.
Anyone know if it is Sprint or my phone?
Anyone in Virginia having 4G problems?
Thanks in advance for your time and help.

I want to avoid factory reseting for the second time in less than a month. I'll check my coworker's Epic, if she doesn't get 4G I can go annoy Sprint about it. If she does, I'll go annoy Sprint anyway.

You should not have to pay a deductible if a major feature is not working. The deductible is for lost/stolen/physically broken.

It really depends on the tech that works on the phone. And if they can cleverly word it as manufactures defect, not user error. before I knew what I was doing w/ my phone I bricked 2 phones in 1 week. Both times I got a replacement.

You guess in the second round of LTE rollouts (I read somewhere) but I get 4G in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach and Norfolk. Williamsburg has no WiMax though, it's weird.
On another not I factory reset and it a no go. Others in the area have 4G. I'll call sprint today and see if I can get it free.

Heh, that's what they all say in the beginning. I said that too and it lasted.... about a week. I rooted the other day to get the Multi-Window update to work with all apps not just the handful that Samsung limits you to.
I don't know app wise, but if you get tired of the Touch Wiz limitations, I can recommend Nova Launcher. That's probably the best update I have done to this thing. Add much more flexibility to the phone.
I rooted mine as soon as i got home, took about ten minutes....if that. Titanium backup is essential to me ever since my OG EVO.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
Heh mine lasted about 3 hours without rooting while I got familiar with the features of the phone.
I rooted as soon as I got home. Copied the Titanium backup directory from my old phone and restored my apps.

GPS is taking a LONG time to connect for me. Sometimes I give up, restart Navigation and then it connects in about a minute. But the initial connect is WAY too slow.
My EVO 3D would connect in about 30 seconds max, this thing takes many minutes.
