it's pretty annoying that the screen comes on when i adjust the volume, mostly because i have a 30 minute screen timeout, so if i don't manually turn off the screen immediately, it'll stay on for the entire duration. even when i have my magnetic case closed, the screen will force on if i toggle...

rooted, running jelly 'beans' B14. i use low impedence Shure earphones which block out most sounds, so i don't need to listen at as high of a level, but the first tick up from muted is still too loud at night when there is no ambient noise. any thoughts?

i am stock, unrooted, and i use Nova to customize enough things to keep me happy. i also have a few dozen apps and processes "disabled" in Manage Applications, such as S Voice, S Memo, kies, media/music hub, verizon tones, yahoo! finance, etc. my question is: if i root and use Titanium Backup...

i see the option now below [call] ringtones in every contact now...this is great!

i can link to a youtube video if necessary, but it's straightforward. i have a very strong LTE signal in my apartment, and i have no issues whatsoever with data, EXCEPT if i turn hotspot on. sometimes data will just shut off and on every 10 seconds for a good five minutes, and other times, it...

I recently started getting this loading screen that freezes up my phone for up to 10 seconds, where even the back and home buttons do nothing. It comes out of nowhere, while using any application (texting, chrome, anything) and I think it happens when I'm backing out of the app to return to my...

i own a stock, un-rooted Galaxy SIII on Verizon. 1. the graph below is your friend. you can see it by going to settings > battery and then tapping on the graph at the top of the screen. mobile network signal: green is good, yellow is okay, red is bad/no signal. GPS on: self explanatory...

I only use the Gmail app and never the stock Email app. I wanted to disable it after upgrading to 4.1.1 but that ability has been taken away. I launched Email for the first time since my hard reset and I was presented with this screen, which says that an AOL account is identified for my mobile...

looked around XDA and here at android forums and couldn't find an answer...does anyone know what makes up the Miscellaneous Files when you go to Settings > Storage? it's taking up 4GB on the internal storage. is that all of the Samsung Touchwiz bloat? if so, that is ABSURD. i am 100% stock...

i did a few searches but couldn't find any real answer to this...what's the minimum that you can select to create a full backup? i'm assuming i can leave the SD alone, at least, but can i also leave out cache and others?

first off, OC'ing to 1.6Ghz over the stock 1.3Ghz provides noticeable improvements in speed and responsiveness in everyday tasks (i.e. other than in gaming). i would love to stay OC'd but it looks like it hosed my automatic brightness, which to me is almost a dealbreaker. i hate having to switch...

i have had no problems with custom ringtones in the past, but recently, my latest flash of tommy's classic senseless has apparently caused this issue to creep up. the default ringtone will work fine, but it seems like it overrides individually assigned ringtones. anyone have any ideas? there...

http://i.imgur.com/SG7TQ.png the screenshot shows 333MB out of 350MB used in /system. is this an issue? i'm running MikG 3.1, Go Launcher, Minimalistic Text. will i run into any issues in the future? also, since switching to Go (from normal Sense), my battery life has gone down somewhat, with...

has anyone informally tested how much better battery life is if you have a powersaving profile (SetCPU) active along with a really weak cell phone signal? weak signals obviously drain the battery almost as fast as anything i can think of, but how much does it help to keep the processor at...

just a heads up (it might have been covered)...i was tooling around with the different tweaks in MikG 3.1, and when i checked semi-transparent notification bar, it ended up permanently placing a white line at the top of the screen. i have toggled everything back and forth and rebooted multiple...
