    Root Rooting and ROMing the Alpha G850W

    Been a while since I rooted and flashed a ROM. The Galaxy Alpha doesn't have much choice out there for the G850W variant. Last night I flashed the latest TWRP recovery and Cyanogenmod 13 (unofficial). So far everything is stable and almost everything works. I tried BT pairing in my 14 Ford...

    G3 to Alpha

    Just got my Alpha today at Costco. They had an amazing promo going and the sub-5" form factor was something I wanted to get back to. The Alpha was $19 on a 2 year contract plus $100 back in Costco credit. $80 in pocket to buy a screen protector and case. Also went on a new plan: unlimited...

    WiFi connection quality on Samsung

    Just something I have noticed on the various Android phones and tablets. Whether it be LG, Sony, HTC they all seem to connect at 150Mbps maximum on an internal network, regardless of the router as well. My S tablet and my bro-in-laws S5 connect at 300Mbps. Just an observation, what are your...

    Accessories CaseLeather

    Does anyone have a case made by ? They are made in Israel from leather and there are 2 models in the flip-style I'm considering. In Canadian coin they are $46 which is not bad considering the material. Right now I have a generic flip which is fine but can only hold 2 cards.

    Accessories Otter be a Ghost

    When I purchased the OtterBox Defender with my G3 the only thing that bugged me was the built in screen protector. Smudges and screen sensitivity are issues as well as less resistance to being scratched. On my previous phones I have used Ghost Armour screen protectors. Today I went to the...

    N7 with 5.0 issues.

    So far, nothing major. However, if you click on your WiFi network to bring up the status the text layout is a bit garbled.

    Try TunnelBear VPN, very effective for opening the net. I purchased the $5.00/m pack for unlimited bandwidth.

    Picked up the Nexus 7 a few days ago...

    Actually, I cleared the shelf and bought 4 of them. Picked up one for my son and daughter plus bro-in-law (he will pay me back so really I paid for 3 😉. Liking the 7 a lot, for me, it replaced an 8 year old desktop. No longer need a full sized comp and my storage is a 3TB NAS at home...

    Telus S2X (T989D) flatline.

    October of last year my S2X was non-responsive when I woke up one morning. The phone was not even showing a battery charge icon, like it would if the phone was off and plugged in. Black screen, no single vibration when trying to turn it on, zero response. As normal it was plugged into a APC unit...

    4.4.2 WiFi and BT issues

    When I bought my N4 it was only a very brief few days with 4.3 JellyBean. So I've been on 4.4 pretty much the entire time. That was back in October sometime. Even though I have reported that WiFi and BT have been ok, they do disconnect randomly, enough that a rebooted and sometimes a reset is in...

    Kitkat build difference?

    Factory images for the N4 here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?csw=1#occam have changed in the last week. Mine is KRT160 and now there is a KRT16S build. Anyone know the difference?

    MAC addy and Manufacturer name change!

    This is really odd, I recent updated to JB 4.1.2 for my S2X. I run a program called Fing that does a site survey of whatever wifi network you are connected to. It keeps detailed logs of previous devices that have connected as well. So, my S2X use to show the Murata Manufacturing as the hardware...

    Root JellyStar ROM

    Just installed the JellyStar 1.0 ROM based on 4.2.2 and will be seeing if it suites my needs over the next few days. Running a paid version of Nova Launcher along with it. Very impressed so far and I've always liked the stock feel/look over anything else. Thanks to the Dev ..Cory.. for this!

    Root ASOP ROM Choice(s)?

    I'm liking the One V stock w/Sense a fair amount, however, I'm thinking its time to root and install a ASOP ROM to compare to the stock Sense. Is there a vanilla, bare bones 4.0.3 or higher. Looking for something like DevNull, Oxygen equivalent like I had on the Desire. Any suggestions would be...

    Who is enjoying their 1V

    I thought I'd start a thread about the 1V. So in a nutshell, who is enjoying their new phone? Myself, I think the 1V makes an excellent replacement over the Desire. It has more internal memory, a better screen and runs Android 4.0 properly. Also, I have to say that Sense 4.0 is such a nice...

    One V for me

    Proud owner of a new One V (all black). Long story short I renewed my contract about 2 months ago and tried the BB 9790. I came from owning a Desire which at the time was giving me issues and thought why not give the BB world a try. It is a nice system but the screen size and lack of apps is...

    Root This is insanity

    Nothing in this forum is insane, it must be me. Some know that I switched over to 2 different platforms a short time ago. Both do not meet my needs and to an extent, my likes either. The past couple of weeks I've tried to get my Desire back up and running. Even a temp fix will be good until I...

    The One, the Only...

    I'm back to Android. Over the last couple of months I went from Android to a Nokia Lumia 800 (which is great apart from notifications are late or n/a without refreshing manually). Then to a BB 9790 which again is a nice phone however, the screen size which i thought I could get use to is killing...
