I've got the U.S Version of the S7 Edge. Sprint is the provider. The reason for this thread is, that I want to be able to watch youtube videos in my browser. NOT on the youtube app that comes installed on the S7 Edge. But no matter how many times I "disable" the youtube app in an attempt to make...

I've looked around on google but there doesn't seem to be a quick and dirty way to transfer large files quickly to the Kindle Fire HD 7" (32Gb). The wife got one for work, and I'm looking for an easy way to use wifi to transfer movies to the tablet for her. Its an android operating system, but I...

I need a little help with today's way of reformatting a phone. The phone is the Samsung Galaxy S3, AT&T, model SGH I747. It was my mother inlaws, now its my wife's. Hers died and so my mother inlaw gave her the old s3 she no longer uses. As is the case with many non techy people, my mother inlaw...

I'm having trouble sending messages and getting downloads in the messaging system, that my friends send me. At my house mostly, but sometimes throughout my whole town. Apparently AT&T isn't all that concerned with their 4G signal in my area. So I need a way to switch to 3G so I can have better...

Windows can be so annoying when it comes to phone drivers. I have a samsung Galaxy S4, and it seems to work ok. But when I plug in the wife's S3, I get this stupid error message all the time. And samsung claims that their driver is universal, for all phones. But at the same time, you can...

1. All the threads seem to be old and outdated. My AT&T S4, that I just got a few days ago from Wal-Mart, has tons of bloatware that doesn't seem to be on any lists. Does anyone know of a more up to date list? 2. Also, is there any real advantage to me flashing from 4.4.2, to 4.4.4? If that's...

I tried to go to the google play store and get kies, or kies air, or whatever they've decided to call it these days. However, its not there under any normal name. I'm used to it just saying "Samsung Kies" Or "kies air" or something similar. Did samsung finally kill kies?

Hi all. I just got my Galaxy S4 yesterday, and I need to root it. I've gone through the standard gaggle of youtube videos, but none of them were for my version and all had warnings of bricking the phone if not done properly. So that kind of scared me a little bit. I was hoping that someone...

Hi all. I can't seem to make my Samsung Galaxy S3 turn into a mobile hotspot. The phone is rooted. When go to turn it on, it waits for a few seconds, then gives an error message. Which is: Unfortunately, settings has stopped. And that's all you get. You have to click ok, and the windows...

Hello everyone. I had a few questions about the captivate. Well I had the ATT version, also known as the "Samsung Galaxy S". I was hoping to draw on the collective memory, of what was the best ROM and Kernel out there for that old phone? I'd like to do one last update, one last ROM and Kernel...

I want to put some of my music files on my ATT Samsung Galaxy S3. However, as you can see from the pic, I'm getting some kind of authorization error. How do I tell it that everything is ok and force it to let me put music on my phone? Also, in case that fails, how can I just transfer songs...

Hi all. I know its been a while since most people have messed with their captivate. Well, I actually have the Galaxy S, but its ATT. Everyone knows that its actually the Captivate everywhere else. So does anyone have a link to an Odin that installs the last, best Cynagen mod for the SGH-I897...

I'm looking for the bloatware list for the AT&T version of the Galaxy S3. I searched around but all I could find was Verizon and T-mobile related threads. I would like to know all the software that is "safe" to remove from my phone. Safe enough that it won't harm the basic functionality, anyway...

Hi all. I recently rooted the wife's Android phone. Its running 4.1.1. So I went through and got rid of all the bloatware, using titanium backup. But it seems I accidentally uninstalled a couple things that I shouldn't have. One thing was the "Text to speech" aspect of the stock SMS program. The...

Hi all. I want to update my AT&T Galaxy S3. United states version. Right now its on 4.1.1 but I want to switch to... 4.2.2? I think that is the latest version. However, I also want to root. Is there a pre packaged Odin somewhere that will root, and update to the latest version of android? I...
