    Root Rooting and ROMing the Alpha G850W

    Been a while since I rooted and flashed a ROM. The Galaxy Alpha doesn't have much choice out there for the G850W variant. Last night I flashed the latest TWRP recovery and Cyanogenmod 13 (unofficial). So far everything is stable and almost everything works. I tried BT pairing in my 14 Ford...

    G3 to Alpha

    Just got my Alpha today at Costco. They had an amazing promo going and the sub-5" form factor was something I wanted to get back to. The Alpha was $19 on a 2 year contract plus $100 back in Costco credit. $80 in pocket to buy a screen protector and case. Also went on a new plan: unlimited...

    WiFi connection quality on Samsung

    Just something I have noticed on the various Android phones and tablets. Whether it be LG, Sony, HTC they all seem to connect at 150Mbps maximum on an internal network, regardless of the router as well. My S tablet and my bro-in-laws S5 connect at 300Mbps. Just an observation, what are your...

    Accessories CaseLeather

    Does anyone have a case made by ? They are made in Israel from leather and there are 2 models in the flip-style I'm considering. In Canadian coin they are $46 which is not bad considering the material. Right now I have a generic flip which is fine but can only hold 2 cards.

    Accessories Otter be a Ghost

    When I purchased the OtterBox Defender with my G3 the only thing that bugged me was the built in screen protector. Smudges and screen sensitivity are issues as well as less resistance to being scratched. On my previous phones I have used Ghost Armour screen protectors. Today I went to the...

    N7 with 5.0 issues.

    So far, nothing major. However, if you click on your WiFi network to bring up the status the text layout is a bit garbled.

    Try TunnelBear VPN, very effective for opening the net. I purchased the $5.00/m pack for unlimited bandwidth.

    Picked up the Nexus 7 a few days ago...

    Actually, I cleared the shelf and bought 4 of them. Picked up one for my son and daughter plus bro-in-law (he will pay me back so really I paid for 3 😉. Liking the 7 a lot, for me, it replaced an 8 year old desktop. No longer need a full sized comp and my storage is a 3TB NAS at home...

    Telus S2X (T989D) flatline.

    October of last year my S2X was non-responsive when I woke up one morning. The phone was not even showing a battery charge icon, like it would if the phone was off and plugged in. Black screen, no single vibration when trying to turn it on, zero response. As normal it was plugged into a APC unit...

    4.4.2 WiFi and BT issues

    When I bought my N4 it was only a very brief few days with 4.3 JellyBean. So I've been on 4.4 pretty much the entire time. That was back in October sometime. Even though I have reported that WiFi and BT have been ok, they do disconnect randomly, enough that a rebooted and sometimes a reset is in...
