I bought the Samsung specific back. I worried too much shoot the cheap Chinese induction kits and reading about to many over heating problems. It does make the phone slightly thicker though, so a right fitting case may no longer fit.
What keyboard do you use? I've been having this issue in a few placesRsox4life said:Here's an odd issue I have been dealing with. I don't use the Facebook app instead I use the mobile version. Lately whenever I type in Facebook the keyboard randomly back spaces every few letters making typing very frustrating. When it back spaces it doesn't erase the previous letter but instead inserts it before the last letter jumbling up every word. Any idea why this might be happening. It only happens when I type in Facebook mobile?
I have a note 3 for what it's worth.
About a week in with the Nexus 6 and I love the phone. No complaints.SoxFanInPdx said:So, my iPhone 4s is on its last leg. Thinking I want to give Android a shot. I have a MacBook Pro I do all my stuff on and I'm kinda fearful of making the jump. I'm narrowing it down to the Galaxy Note 4 or the Nexus 6 and I'll be heading to a Verizon store tomorrow since my contract is up with AT&T as well. Anyone have either of these phones that can weigh in a bit?
Under the plan, Sprint will provide unlimited talk and text to anywhere in the U.S. network, while matching the data allowance for half the price that AT&T and Verizon customers are currently paying.
As an added incentive, activation fees are waived, and Sprint will pay any early termination fees or installment billing obligations for switchers, up to $350 per line. Those people will be paid with repaid Visa cards. The half-price deal goes for the life of the plan, but the promotion itself is temporary, with Sprint not specifying how long it will last.
Sprint says the half-off rate will be based on the monthly voice, text and data rate plan charge for all lines on the customer's Verizon or AT&T bill. So, a Verizon customer paying $140 per month for four lines of service to share can get four lines of service from Sprint for $70 per month. You will have to swap out your old phone for a new device.

Interested to hear any thoughts on this promotion by Sprint. It begins Friday.

Sprint cuts your bill in half and your service by 90%. They are beyond shitty. I had no idea how shitty Sprint was until I switched to ATT.bohous said:
Sounds desperate, but tempting.
Can I assume the unlimited data gets throttled at some point?
How long ago did you switch? I'm on the Sprint network through an MVNO, and while there are some hiccups here and there, I've noticed a marked improvement in their coverage in the past year or so.Trautwein's Degree said:Sprint cuts your bill in half and your service by 90%.

I'm on a Nexus 5. Compared to Kitkat, I find Chrome crashes much more, the phone now occasionally locks out data or GPS until I reboot, and Lollipop is not noticably faster or better with battery.Trautwein's Degree said:The updates to the core Google apps are stunning. All of the apps are easier to use, work together, and pretty to look at. For me, it's the most under hyped tech development of the year.
They will let you "upgrade" early if you agree to do their Edge program.Bunt4aTriple said:Has anyone had any recent successes with an early upgrade through verizon? I have an S4 whose battery is draining at an alarming rate. Not eligible for 5 more months.
It's a little more serious than that.Joe Sixpack said:Getting a new phone because of battery issues is roughly equivalent to getting a new car because the windshield wipers aren't working very well. It's a very fixable problem.
If they are Google contacts you can delete them from your contacts on your PC and they should disappear on your phone.jodyreeddudley78 said:Click on the contact you want to delete. Hit the pen (edit contact), then menu, and select delete.
There doesn't seem to be a quicker way, or a way to do a multiple contact delete.
How have you found it and what did you have before, if you don't mind me asking?charlieoscar said:I bought the LG G3 this summer and besides getting an update from Gingerbread that my old phone was locked into, the main selling points for me were the replaceable battery and the ability to add an SD card.

I also just got the LG G3, coming from a HTC One X (M7) and the difference is stark. I've been an Android guy since the beginning and had many phones with many operating systems from Touchwiz to CyanogenMod to AOSP to stock Android and I'm really impressed with the G3. It's the most responsive phone I've had by a long shot. I bought extra batteries but I've yet to need them as I get almost 2 full days out of a charge and I'm a pretty heavy user. The screen is excellent and the LG flavor of Android, while still different than the stock experience, is the least intrusive of any of the vendor specific flavors I've used. There are still annoyances of course, but they are nothing compared to Touchwiz's heavy handed implementation. All in all I'm really happy with the phone.LondonSox said:How have you found it and what did you have before, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm likely jumping to ATT and getting a Nexus 6 or some other phablet early next year.
Sprint service has always been good in the Atlanta area - when I've traveled to other places, it's somethimes abysmal.
They eliminated the company discount a while back. That still pisses me off. I thought their unlimited data was a good deal, but I never realized I don't use much data, so it's not that important - I can save by switching - I can get a 20% corp discount on a plan from ATT.
