^That's a pretty good question, never occurred to me as I never connected to wifi except for home.

I'm liking Apex Launcher, but I like the weather and planner widgets from touchwiz too much lol.

Has anyone had issues with the home button been pushed in? The reason I ask is the home button on my dads new phone isn't sticking out, instead it's pushed in so wonder if it's a defect because mine is fine.

Anyone notice when there is a black screen..for example a black loading screen there are "dead" pixels which are darker than the rest? Only see them when the screen is completely black.

Noticed it too, thought it was just my phone... Loading a game in the dark and the screens black you see a few dark spots and circles.

CHIME IN!

I think I noticed that, but its like weird circle splotches on the glass rather than pixels. I thought it was a smudge.

Exactly, while playing a game there is a white "Loading" icon in the bottom corner while the rest of the screen is black. There is a circle towards the middle and random black lines. This circle and lines are darker than the background loading screen.

Good thing its not just mine

I know it's not local, but I got mine done from cellunlock.net for $8 (bb50 discount code for 50% off).

Took 3 days but it came and it worked.

Someone here mentioned cellunlocker.net- you get it for free if you post a "how-to" on youtube (regular price is 15 I think).

If you're really looking for local, I assume it's going to be for the usual price of 20-30 dollars, which is what it advertises for online on most sites.

if you don't do that at a physical store then don't do it online please

tell me how you would feel and if your boss doesn't pay you for what you do or if you own your own business your customers don't pay you.

or better yet go into a store with a DVD burner and start burning DVDs on the spot. Technically you aren't stealing right? because you are just making copies of what already in the store.

End of rant. Nothing to see here carry on.
