OK, so I replaced my Hydro with a GS 4 and since then its just been sitting in my junk drawer. Now I need a USB network adapter for wifi and was wondering if I could use the Hydro for that. It has no service but I have WiFi access. I'm hoping I can thether it and connect to my WiFi. I'm rooted...

Sometimes my av app (AVG) pops up in my notification bar saying scanning new software even though I'm not downloading anything. I have automatic updates disabled in Google play store. I'm sure its probably some system app, the play store itself, or the OS updating but I want to know exactly what...

I have a galaxy s4 Verizon. It is rooted. I have had it for about 2 months with no problems until now. I keep having trouble texting. It might just be Facebook messenger but not sure. I send a text and it will say message not sent. I switch to airplane mode for a second then back to regular and...

Can someone tell me how to clear Google search history on galaxy s4? I think I cleared the web history but can't figure out how to clear it from the device. Thanks:)

My Hydro was my first smart phone. She was both a source of pleasure and pain. She never left my side, I'll give her that. She just didn't always do what I expected her to do. Yes, she will be remembered. She wasn't very old but she was very slow and had fits all the time. It hurt me to do it...

OK I'm trying to help a friend root her phone. She's in GA I'm in NY so no hands on, I need to walk her through this. Her need for root is solely for using a few apps which require root access. No need for cwm, custom roms, recovery, etc. That would all just make it too complicated for her...

I have all my backups on a thumb drive. If I get an adapter will the phone b able to access the drive? I have no computer and its a real pain having to go to library to transfer files. Plus at the library I can't connect my phone as an external drive so I have to keep taking out battery to get...

OK, I like auto correct but sometimes it can be real dumb. I'm sure we've all had an experience with it changing a word to something that's nothing near the word we misspelled. Share it here for a good laugh. My auto correct is set to very aggressive. Spelled cheese with a z instead of an s...

Wow, talk about a memory boost! I was just browsing through my file system and noticed a file from an app I uninstalled. I checked the details on it and found it was 90mb. I double checked to be sure I had uninstalled the app, found that I had, then deleted the folder. Then I continued...

Not a great title but its how I feel right now. I deleted over 100 mbs to, games I want but take too much space, now I'm trying to download twitter from the play store and am getting error message saying insufficient memory. According to app2sd I have 108.44mb available on phone 81.98mb...

Anyone know where I can get a factory rom for my Hydro? I think some system files may have gotten corrupted so I want to do a hard reset and reflash the os. Hoping that will fix all the bugs.

Is there a way to override or disable the dalvik cache? I'm stuck with the stock 2gig SD card for now and this dalvik cache is a real memory hog. I delete files from it and they come right back when I reboot. It would be great if there were a way to disable it and still have everything work...

Every time I try to upload photo with chrome I get error msg telling me I have low memory. Anyone know how to fix this?

Phone is freezing up. Don't know why. Help please. Can hardly even make this post. Keep getting apps not responding messages. Download speeds are ranging from 8kbps 2 40kbps. Tried deleting throttle files (data/system/throttle) helped a little. Carrier says everything OK on their end. Signal...
