I have used K9 Mail for years with no issues (Samsung phones). With the V20 it says that Sync is disabled and I only get emails if I open the app and refresh it. When I go to Account & Sync I can add an account to sync, but am limited to Gmail and the default mail client. How do I setup a 3rd...

I use Textra for texting, however I have one contact whose messages always shows up wanting me to use the default Messages app. Example - I send said contact a message from Textra. When they reply I click the notification and Messages opens asking to be the default app. I click cancel, as I...

Longtime Samsung user. I currently have the Note 4 and was considering the Note 7 when it was first announced - glad I didn't. So I went to a local ATT store and played with the V20. It seemed pretty slick. My pluses: removable battery, expandable storage My minuses: no app drawer So convince...

I've searched and read lots of threads and have seen some "attempts" at solving this, but none has worked for me. I bought some new BT headphones and the connection is poor. Randomly the audio cuts out or stutters. I've disconnected the headphones, turned BT off, cleared cache, turned BT on...

Regularly, I'll see the battery at 28%, for example. I'll do something on the phone and then I'll get the notification almost instantly that my battery is low (less than 15%). In a matter of seconds, it'll reboot as it loses all battery power. So, in a matter of seconds it will go from roughly...

I've had issues getting the OTA updates to install. Always downloads then when it installs, it gets to 1-2% and reboots and tells me the update failed. Tried once again today and it failed, but this time when I check for new updates it tells me No Firmware. WTF?! So, here are my questions: To...

As of 12 hours ago pics looked fine. However, I went to take a pic today and every one I take come out "hazy" like they're being bathed in sunlight. I'm attaching a quick sample. Any thoughts???

I'm just curious why there is no root for ATT. Is it because it is too difficult? Is it because no one is working on it? Some other factor? I'm just shocked that this phone has been out this long with no movement on a rooting method.

I had headphones plugged in, listening to Pandora. All of a sudden, the music stopped. I heard some static, but no music. When I unplug and plug in the headphones, there is no notification that they're plugged in. I've rebooted, I've rebooted with them plugged in, I've removed SD card and...

My wife and both are running 5.0.1 on our Note 4's, and we're both running the same version of Facebook. However, when in the newsfeed, as I scroll I get the block of icons across the bottom: Status - Photo - Check-in. My wife, however, has a round icon as she scrolls. Tapping the icon gives...

Is anyone else noticing performance issues with Nova Prime? After unlocking the phone, any action I perform takes roughly 5 seconds. For example, unlocking and clicking on an app (Chrome). After 5 seconds, it loads. Everything from there runs just fine. It's just after unlocking. If I reboot...

My wife and I both have the S3. I'm rooted, she's stock. We are moving to the Note 4 tomorrow. What should each of us do to prepare for the move? Meaning, I know to back up photos/videos, but not sure what else I can do with my wife's stock phone. What about my rooted phone - what can I backup...

Was going to update my ROM and I had wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache, format /system and my toddler hit the Reboot Phone option. Now phone only goes to Samsung splash screen and shuts back off. Looking at this vid: How to Unroot &/or Unbrick Samsung Galaxy S3...

I use Go SMS Pro and I'm pretty sure (unless I'm going crazy, and that's very possible) that I used to be able to open a MMS and save the pic to my external sd card. Now when I open the pic and hit Save, it saves it to my phone. Am I missing a setting somewhere?

So, I've created another thread asking about tools that help me as I try out other ROMs, and I have everything in order. Now I'm looking for a ROM (or 2 or 4) to try out. I've been looking to try ParanoidAndroid, but no official 3.0 release. I may still give PA a go, but wondering what ROM...
