    Help Any way to test if my NFC reader is working properly?

    I think the NFC reader on my phone might not be working. I tried scanning some NFC toys on it, and no matter where I placed them all over the back and front of the phone, absolutely nothing happened. NFC IS on and enabled, but I get no response. Is there any way I can check to see if the NFC...

    Root Phone keeps asking me to install an OTA update I already installed

    So, I have a Sprint HTC 10. It was rooted, and then an OTA update came out about a week or so ago, version 1.80.651.10. I unrooted and installed it, since I have TWRP it seems to take over the install process, but more or less does install it correctly. Once my phone rebooted, it complained...

    Root Still confused about how to install Magisk/Automagisk on my HTC 10

    I have been trying to Google this but am a little confused on all the steps I need to (and don't need to) take at this point, especially since I am a little behind. So I wanted to ask for help on forums, if anyone is willing to give some advice on this. First of all, I have a Sprint version of...

    Help Android backup apps - Titanium vs Helium?

    So, these two seem to be the two most well known backup apps, and I just wanted people's opinions on them. Especially since I will likely purchase the pro/full version of the one I decide to go with. Is any particular one better if you don't have root? What about if you do have root? Any...

    Help Massive lag for a single contact on stock SMS app

    This started happening pretty much immediately since I installed the 4.4.3 update late July, and has just gotten worse. For a single one of my contacts, the SMS app lags HORRIBLY whenever I am doing anything with said person. It takes about half a minute just to load when I click his name, and...

    Help Any way to disable ONLY the word-replacement feature on the stock keyboard app?

    I DO want the word predictions, suggestions, autocorrect, etc features. What I absolutely cannot STAND, as well as cannot phantom why they thought it was a good idea, is how the stock keyboard will replace a word you typed correctly with a completely different word it assumed you "meant" to...

    Help SMS is near-unusable after Sprint 4.4.3 update!

    I installed that update that upgraded the phone to 4.4.3 and enabled Wi-Fi calling about a week ago. And since then, the SMS app has been incredibly laggy to the point where it is near unusable. I am not exaggerating, it takes literally about 20 seconds from me tapping a letter, for the phone to...

    Are phones now required to mount their internal memory as emulated primary SD?

    I first saw this whole "sdcard/sdcard0" and "extsdcard" mess with the Motorola RAZR, the first Smartphone I used which had a large amount of internal memory. Personally, I found this maddeningly annoying, many apps were confused and assumed they were installing or writing to the SD card when...

    sdcard0 vs extsdcard, want to move large data to extsdcard

    Sigh, this is exactly what I was worried about when upgrading from my EVO 3D. I noticed my new M8 has a sdcard0 and extsdcard folder. And of course, the apps and games which download hundreds of megs of data in order to run are downloading to the 24 gig internal sdcard0 mount point instead of...

    Magnets in belt-clip side cases inferfering with the M8/Dotview feature?

    I am getting a M8 and want to get a belt-pouch case for it. Problem is, I know that some people have had issues with some cases where the magnets used to close the flap keep setting off the DotView feature of the phone, which apparently cannot be turned off. These were the three I was looking...

    Link2SD drving me nuts, fails to re-link on boot, phone going crazy

    I was very close to spiking my phone against the wall in frustration over this so I really hope someone can help me. I have a Sprint Evo 3D, its rooted and S-OFF. I am using the SmoothCriminal ROM which is a highly optimized version of the stock ICS ROM. Even with the custom rom, I have a...
