I recently updated my Sprint Galaxy S5 to stock Sprint Android 6.01 (and rooted it). Whenever I connect the phone to my PC via USB, the phone displays a message asking me to allow or deny the MTP connection. Even if I briefly disconnect & reconnect to the same USB port, it asks me again. I never...

After doing hours of research, I figured out how to get rooted on a stock Sprint Galaxy S5 (with Android 6.0.1). I made step-by-step instructions and posted them over at XDA. I hope it helps save others from doing the hours of research and eases any apprehension about trying to root. I don't...

I've searched the web (including this forum) but I can't find a method to root the Kindle Fire 2 with software version 10.5.1. (Apparently earlier software versions were rootable.) Help?

Did you read the last 4 answers that people took the time to provide you the last time you posted on this topic? I didn't see any response from you. http://androidforums.com/android-applications/875551-question-any-outlook-users.html#post6750584

Please add me.

As a practical matter, there is no way to make WiFi location-detection anywhere near as accurate as GPS. Even if you knew the EXACT location of the WiFi routers, and even if your phone could discern the signal strength to that kind of accuracy (which it can't): 1) WiFi routers typically vary...

I'm pretty sure that it's possible. With my phone in my car I can run Bluetooth audio while simultaneously displaying engine data from a Bluetooth OBDII dongle. And, for example, I believe you can simultaneously use a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, & printer, etc. I think you just can't have two...

Interesting. I use an old LG Optimus S Android v2.3 synced with Hotmail servers (which are essentially Exchange servers) and the synchronization limit for the notes field on Android is 1024 characters. (E.g. If my Outlook contact has 2000 characters in the note field, only 1024 of it will get...

About this guide: This is a step-by-step, spoon-fed guide for implementing Link2SD on your Optimus S in order to effectively increase your internal memory so that you can install more apps and get rid of that "low storage space" warning. I prefer the Link2SD method over the Data2EXT method of...

I wrote a detailed set of instructions on how to increase the performance and memory on the Replenish. I got tired of updating it on both this site and Android Central, so from now on I'll just maintain it on Android Central (where more Replenish work has been done.) Here's the link.

I've tried Barcode Scanner. It won't actually recognize any bar codes because apparently the Replenish camera is so low quality. PlayStore won't even let me load Google Goggles, et al. Anybody find a barcode scanner that actually works with the Replenish?

You've probably known for a while that rooting and flashing your Optimus S with a custom ROM will give your Optimus S much better performance, more available RAM for applications, and great new functionality (while optionally removing unwanted Sprint software or nagware). Perhaps you looked into...

The LG Optimus S has the Sprint-sanctioned CarrierIQ software built-in. It's probably harmless, but I hate that they bake it in, don't officially tell you exactly what it's logging, and don't let you opt-in, opt-out, or uninstall it. Here's the paranoid view of CarrierIQ. Here's a more...

Sometimes the GPS & magnetometer on my LG Optimus S don't work (outdoors with a clear-sky view and no tall buildings with GPS turned on in the settings). Usually the GPS and magnetometer work fine. but sometimes navigation apps like Google Navigation or TeleNav say "searching for GPS", and...
