Google has been adding more action oriented features to their engine. One of the most useful is “find my phone”.

A good friend recently jumped in the river with his Motorola cell phone… I waded into a stream with a Canon compact camera in my cargo pant pockets… a friend droped her iPhone in the toilet…. What do these stories have in common? Wet electronics 🙁 Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to (hopefully) salvage your electronics in the event you get them terribly wet: When the Sahara is not an option: The best ways to

I recently disabled the proxies that were set at the defaults on my Motorola Photon phone.

Q. Who called me from (866) 542-6911? A. This number is normally an automated call from Sprint asking you to answer a phone survey about your recent support session with them. If you miss the call, they will likely call back again later… or you can call the number yourself to answer the questions… or you can just ignore the calls 🙂 Top Search Terms:866-542-6911 (102)(866) 542-6911 (28)866 542 6911 (22)ptv1000 vs ptv2000 (7)866-5426911 (5)866 542-6911 (4)ptv2000 vs ptv1000 (2)866 5426911 (2)ptv1000
