The place I moved to has terrible T-Mobile coverage so before I switch to a different provider... I was wondering if there is an app or something that will enable me to send and receive calls and texts via wifi using my regular phone number? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :)...

It was brain-dead easy to add or edit contacts with my former Galaxy S Vibrant (rooted) but my current (non-rooted) Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket i727 with Android 4.0.4 won't let me add or edit a contact! For example: If someone calls me or I input a number I should be able to press on the...

I just bought a used T-Mobile G2X and I can't hear anyone during a phone call unless I use my earphones or click the "Speaker" button but apparently they can hear me. And yes, I do have my phones volume up. This phone is NOT rooted. Does anyone know how I can fix this problem? Thank you very...

Just bought a 32gb Transformer and the volume is too low for watching Netflix movies. I see a couple paid-for "volume booster" apps and was wondering if they work? Steve

If you could buy an almost new rooted Nook Color in perfect condition for only $100, would you buy it over the Amazon Fire? Thanks Steve

Since the Amazon Fire has no SD card, can someone please tell me why the geeks that like to tweak these devices would be interested in it? Is it just because of the challenge to see if or how much the Fire can be modified? Or is it because there is something the Fire has that other tablets...

I would like to know who makes the best least expensive tablet I can buy new or used that after rooting to Android makes for an awesome and super reliable Android tablet? I realize I can buy a new Android whatever for many hundreds of dollars but I'm hoping to find something really...

NOTE: Sorry, I just realize I put this in the Amazon Fire forum and meant to post this in the General forum. It seems I'm unable to delete this too. Sorry. I would like to know who makes the best tablet I can buy new or used that after rooting to Android makes for an awesome and super...

My Galaxy S won't recharge unless I reboot it first. Without rebooting I can hook up the charger and nothing happens. After rebooting it starts recharging immediately. Its not the wall charger because it does the same thing with my car charger. I googled the issue and can't find anything...
