Like he said - make sure you purchase from a reputable company. For me, that would mean I only purchase things online from Amazon, Ebay, direct from the manufacturer, or from the website of a local retailer from whom I can go pick up the paid for item in person. Also, a refurbished phone is a...

It sounds like your power button might be broken, or stuck. If you by any chance had USB debugging enabled, you should be able to plug it into any PC and the phone will launch the recovery menu automatically. There should be an option here along the lines of "reboot phone" and that would get...

I am not aware of any way to do this using a physical connection. If your PC had WiFi capability you could create an AdHoc network and use your phone as a game controller that way. I would recommend buying a WiFi card for your computer, but it is incredibly hard to play games this way even if...

According to your user history you've only done two things - make this thread, and reply to this thread. Continuous re-posting more applies to the likes of serial spammers and trolls. You are neither of these things, so you have no need to apologize. We're more than happy to help, seeing as...

I totally called that. :p Glad to hear they were able to help you out. The carriers here (in the land of maple syrup and hockey) would more than likely have tried to come up with some sort of scenario where you were at fault and refused to do anything about it. I once sent a phone in to Bell...

You won't get any help with bypassing security of any kind here. Take this elsewhere. Re-posting will earn you a permanent ban from Tom's.

It can be for some, yes. Especially if you didn't grow up with this stuff. If you have any other questions, please post again. Legitimate inquiries are welcomed here on Tom's.

How the hell do you pronounce your schools name? Also, this part made me laugh.. And yes, I'm on the forum at 3:12am.

If the phone is rooted I could walk you through doing a full system backup via ADB. But, if you don't know Linux commands there's a good chance you could mess your phone up in the process. Best off getting the opinion of Verizon first. Maybe your SIM card got damaged somehow, or the reader...

Sounds like a fried battery. Modern electronics, especially phones laptops and tablets, use lithium-ion batteries. Li-ion batteries can only take so much abuse, and each charge and discharge cycle reduces it's overall capacity ever so slightly until it's useless. Most of the time, people wear...

^ That, is an outright lie. There are hundreds of ways to get music from iTunes to an Android phone. I personally use an app called iSyncr which syncs all your iTunes playlists with your Android phone automatically. More involved methods can include simply dragging and dropping songs from the...

We appreciate the post, however please check date and time stamps before posting in the future, to avoid cluttering the forum. This thread is 6 months old.

Picaso is a photo editing suite owned by Google. When your phone was updated it would have lost your account information, requiring you to sign in with your Google account again. Once signed in it shouldn't ask you again. And if you don't use Picaso for anything, just ignore the folder in your...

I have never heard of the company before - but then again I'm in North America. Have you ever shopped with them before, or know anyone who has? I would be looking for first hand reviews if I were you, before trusting any company. Don't trust their online reviews either - lots of companies fake...
