    Sync email - K9 Mail

    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...

    BT headphone connection

    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...

    Battery

    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...

    Root Why no root for ATT?

    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.

    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...

    Save MMS to sd card

    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?

    Best way to utilize Dropbox?

    I'm a dropbox user looking for the best way to incorporate this into my S3 (and most likely my N7 as well). The way I understand DB, it actually synchronizes and puts a "copy" of the files on each machine linked in the account (each PC, phone, tablet). I have 50GB of DB storage (not utilizing it...
