non rooted SAMSUNG GALAXY SII for sprint..... suddenly developed a problem HELP! Suddenly, out of nowhere, today when I plugged my Sii into my laptop with the USB cable, instead of it showing up as an external drive (which I wanted, so I can move some pics over) - it shows up with the...

How do I stop my phone from searching for service???? I have just arrived in the UK for 6 weeks with my lovely Samsung S II (Sprint). I have noticed an unknown icon in the notification bar - it's a circle with a line through it [***UPDATE: RCARTER10 has told me this just means "NO SERVICE" -...

Yesterday while my phone was on charge, the screen went sort of white and transparent and froze. Only way to solve it was to take battery out - then it booted up beautifully. No problem. Later on I wanted to uninstall something - my Uninstaller app was gone. I know I used it a couple of days...

I was using SMS backup very happily on my galaxy S2 (sprint) - worked like a charm, saving all my text messages to my gmail account. however, since the recent system updates, the app I had crashed every time I tried to open it. I tried about three OTHER apps for SMS backup - and they ALL...

I MUST MUST MUST say that when I was using my GPS app on my phone on the boat, I was getting splashed with water (waves) - and my phone was getting splashed too - so thought hey, time to get a waterproof case for it - and I found one that is absolutely UNBELIEVABLE - it is a vacuum case that...

I recently purchased flytomap and downloaded the Florida chart - it has great potential, but this weekend on Saturday (three days ago), the GPS refused to work. The GPS itself was fine, because I tried using it on google navigation, and it appeared immediately and in fact I used GN to navigate...

I like the Evo 3d lockscreen but would like to be able to customize it with a widget instead of an app. For example, on my last phone (rooted htc Hero), I had the option to turn the ringer on or off (using the silent widget from curvefish) from the lockscreen. That's just one example - I can't...

I am only using 3 of my home screens so I have 4 blank ones. What a pain to have to keep them there and spin past them when I want to get to the pages I want - surely there must be a way to delete them? I know you can do that in Launcher Pro, but what about in Sense? It's such a basic...

My tethering seems to work fine using Easy Tether (I am rooted) - but the only websites I cannot access are my emails - yahoo.com and gmail.com. Everything else works fine - no matter how or where I try them, they will not work. All other websites load no problem. Just yahoo.com and gmail...

I am in the UK on vacation (from the US), and just tried to check my yahoo mail. It would not connect to the server, so I deleted the account and tried to add it again, using the same set up I had before (I wrote down all the settings). That didn't work, so I went online and looked at other...

I have three gmail accounts. One default (my main one, that I sync addresses, contacts and calendars) and two others that I only sync the email sections. Problem is that I cannot send attachments from my main gmail account. I compose the email and the attachment, click send, it says message...

Just rooted 5 days ago with AOSP baseband version 2.42.02.10.29, Kernel Version 2.6.29.2, Mod version aospMOD 0.9.9.2 and am just finding my phone is bugging out! OK! 1. The lock screen. Initially to unlock the phone, press on it and slide it to the right. Now, when I press on it, instead...

I used to have a Blackberry, and when I used my bluetooth headset, I could press the talk button on the headset and a voice prompt would prompt me to say who I wanted to call - and hey presto, my phone would dial that number. Completely hands-free. I LOVED that feature. However, when I got my...

changing wallpaper for the lockscreen On my newly rooted phone, I'm trying to change the lockscreen wallpaper. Before I rooted, I had a photo from my phone on the lockscreen - now I just have SPRINT, the lock button (which i have to swipe to the right to open)...

JUST rooted my phone thanks to DonB who helped enormously. Trouble is, before I rooted, I had assigned individual ringtones to different people, so that I could tell just by listening who was calling me. Now I don't have that option. Before, when playing a track, if I selected menu, I think...
