My Boss has started getting this error at random, sometimes once a day, sometimes once a week. every time he hits 'restart' it starts working fine for awhile so i don't believe it's a bad SIM card. the S4 is a year old. The error is screencapped: I am asking this to help him out. Personally...

I'm rooted and on HyperDrive RLS 8. Every so often an app I would like to keep running (often the stock messaging app) gets closed by Android. I would like to disable this behavior and have more control over which apps remain open. Sometimes I lose my place where I'm at (reading comments on...

...and realized why I stopped using it. Long story: I got the Note 3 July 2014 as part of an upgrade promotion. I originally had Galaxy S3 which I had for a year before that. After the usual BS lag with TouchWiz and a disappointing upgrade to KitKat not giving me the new, improved TouchWiz...

Nexus 10 lollipop. Just this afternoon it decided to stop working with the internet until I rebooted. Before I did however the WiFi icon shows a tiny exclamation point inside it. Google being ever so vague what does it mean exactly? Can't find anything on it via search. Does it mean no Google...

Its keeping the GPS on constantly! The little location icon and the notification 'location found' is displayed all the time. I've disabled everything except Google Now as far as location goes because I use that feature. But looking in battery stats it is showing this See the GPS is on as...

The Challenger disaster certainly didn't cause the level of fear most in this thread is experiencing...

Active Apps will usually not list apps unless they fail to close properly for some reason. Chrome always exited properly so long as i closed all tabs and hit back instead of home. the stock Samsung browser kept going though chewing through RAM until lag produced itself (it started inexplicably...

Keep in mind that swiping away in recents will only close down foreground services (the part you see) while background services (those that send push notifications for example) remain running. You never want to force quit background services or use an app that does, as this will force the app...

A lot of time-related issues were because of faulty time sync. To this day not one Android product can set it's own clock right. It is either a day ahead, or an hour or two behind or ahead, or 8 hours ahead. I always set it manually which helps a ton. Google Play Store acts, well, 'funny' when...

Google Play Store has always been unreliable, fails to download, mistakenly flags apps as not compatible even though they'd work fine when side loaded (while truly non-compatible apps would be ignored and install and wreak havoc) and the 'no connection--retry' is a very, VERY common error, even...

depending on the amount of RAM available, most of the time an app is still running foreground stuff if you exit with the HOME button, but closes that portion of it if you hit back. sometimes when you look at recents you'll notice the app would normally not have a screenshot but instead a blank...

Yes, the days of RAM worries in Android were over just after version 4.1. If you have some cheap or old device running say, 2.1 or earlier, yea, task killers were necessary for the most part because memory management sucked. Most apps with issues using so much RAM that the device lags...

My G3 is the smoothest and zippiest phone to date. I even compared the battery life through a 12 hour shift to the iPhone 5S work phone I keep. The iPhone battery sucks compared to the one in my G3 doing the same exact thing. In 12 hours it is about half charged. The LG remains well into 70-80...

Oh there apps that give me some polish. MAFON is an excellent example of an MP3 player app that replicates a tape recorder. Another is simply called 'tape' that replicates a Sony Walkman. I might hunt some of those down and play with Nova a bit to see what I can come up with. If anyone knows...

As far as i know a lollipop is not a dumdum or a blow pop or the like. aren't lollipops those super huge rainbow looking suckers often seen in the hands of a four year old?

Most Android and iPhones won't even attempt to download the update unless there is sufficient battery available. my Nexus 10 wouldn't even check for updates until it got at least a 30% charge.

MX player doesn't work with Google Play Movies. similar to VLC, it only works with MP4 or some other format that Play Movies does not use. and i am sure Vudu doesn't use either. i have used MX Player to cast videos to a chrome cast that i downloaded from Youtube, like the aforementioned Hogan's...

i know. but think about it a second... Eclair, Donut, FroYo, etc are all desserts associated with both adults and children if you think about it--a wide user base of all kinds. Lollipops, in contrast, are only associated with children. i have not seen many if any adults licking lollipops. in a...

due to the anti-tech anti-progress mindset of people around here (they still refuse to even bother with cleaner energy and hold to coal mining as if it were life and death) there are a lot of things we never even saw period. inductive wireless charging mats? nope. NFC? nope. QR Codes? dying and...

i've had tons of issues similar to this with the app but never one problem with the website. i'm speaking specifically of the mobile site that i load on my Samsung Note tablet. the app never worked right. it would either rebuffer countless times or always attempt to play HD quality (which my...

i suppose it would depend on the app's own policy or if the format is playable on another app such as VLC player.

i sometimes get endless rebuffering that never completes. it plays six seconds and sits at the loading circle indefinitely. using the website works fine. i chalk it up to the unreliable nature of Google apps in general. I have similar issues with Play Store--since day one--two out of every three...

Then my case is simply my town being late to the game on everything. i got my S4 just after it launched (here--around July 2014) and i saw the launch of the S5 just after that (around September 2014). the Note 4 has yet to arrive as is the iPhone 6. the demos are about it. i am sure both have...

thanks, let me know if it works. Also, i am not sure if the whole policy is exclusive to Chromecast or if it applies to mirroring in general. i do know in re: Play Movies it doesn't matter if you're using native Samsung mirroring or if you're using a Chromecast--the error is the same.

i got out of using cables the instant wireless mirroring became a standard. it would be very backwards and annoying to go back to the era when i was using a VGA cable to a converter to get a 'smart TV' by hooking up some old desktop motherboard to a TV input. in the end having an actual smart TV...
