For some reason my Note 5 acts kinda erratic when I try to unlock the lock screen. I have fingerprint enabled as well as the On Body Detection. There seems to be no rhyme or reason at what point the phone lets my in by just swiping the screen ( in case I am wearing my phone in my holster) or...

..now what ? Can I unlock my two Note 3s and use it with any other GSM Sim card ? I had international unlock done last year and had no problem using European SIM cards while travelling. I want to get away from Sprint and use these phone on Straight Talk. $45 each on ST vs. $75 each on Sprint ...

Is it worth to unroot in order to install the latest update? Is it even possible? Currently rooted with stock ROM.

Can someone answer this question I have? I moved all my pictures from Phone to ext SD card, Now, I am organizing them into folders. Every time I create a folder (in Gallery) and move pictures to that folder it creates the folder in the phone memory. Then I have to move that folder back to sd...

Rooted S3 is trying to update via OTA but keeps failing. I assume this is because I am rooted? What's the easiest way to get the new update installed without factory reset or data loss?

I keep getting this pesky message that an update is ready to be installed. I'm rooted and i don't want this update. How can i make this damn message go away ?

I travel a lot and I used onboard wifi on most flights I am on. I have my S3 that I mainly use for Whatsapp during the flights and my iPad that I use for web surfing etc. etc. There is no Whatsapp app for iPad :( When I purchase a wifi plan I can only use one device or the other, not both at...

Last few days I have been having lots of app hangups. Gmail constantly hangs and now Maps is doing it as well. This all started after I couldn't send and receive SMS messages and Sprint Tech support did something "on their end" to get it to work again. Anyways, I keep having to do the...

Not sure if this part of the known connectivity issues or a separate one so I am starting this thread. I work in a somewhat metal clad building which blocks most of the 3G signals from the outside. I do have strong wifi signal inside. Since I switched from my OGEvo to the LTEvo I have...

I sent my OG Evo to my son after I upgraded to the Ltevo. Cleared everything and installed Decks Reloaded. Sent him to Best Buy but they couldn't get though the activation process. They said the ##blah blah blah sequence doesn't return the numbers needed but tries to make a call in the...

I have looked all over for this information but can't seem to find a definitive answer. I have the Vodafone Galaxy Y GT-S5369 (germany) Can I use the rooting methods and available ROMs that are out there for the GT-S5360 ? At the minimum I want to remove Simlock from this phone and use...

I am currently visiting Germany and I brought my rooted Evo4G with me to stay in touch via wifi. However, it has it's limitations. So, I found this Galaxy Y phone here at Vodafone, prepaid for 69 Euros. I will only use it for two weeks and it comes "preloaded" with 1000 text messages as well...

I can't get the Installer to download the actual Swype apk. It keeps telling me that my screen size is not supported. Does anyone know if there is a fix available?

A little while back I switched ROM's but eventually went back to my Synergy RC2 via my NANDROID backup. Since then my Gmail doesn't sync automatically anymore. I checked all teh relevant settings but I still get only new emails when I go into each account, menu then refresh. Any idea what...

I have noticed that ever since I first rooted my EVO the MMS messages download very slowly. If I remember correctly my stock phone would notify me that there is a MMS message, when I open the message app the picture would be there ready to be viewed. Now, when I get a MMS, I get a text...
