I'm looking to buy a G4 that will be used with T-Mobile and maybe AT&T. I don't want any bloat or carrier crap on the phone. I checked Amazon but it looks like all the unlocked phones are international versions with no warranty. Where is the best place the buy a G4? Are the ones that the...

WhatsApp now has a desktop client usable through Chrome which is, supposedly, usable on a tablet too (in Chrome desktop mode). Some people say they got it to work. I have been unable. http://9to5google.com/2015/01/21/whatsapps-web-google-chrome/ I was able to scan the QR code with my phone...

Anyone here have a Tab 4 (4.4.2)in addition to their S4(4.2.2)? Why is trying to share files between the two devices so darn difficult? Both are rooted. The S4 has S-beam but it doesn't seem to work with the Tab 4. The Tab 4 has "Connect and Share" but the S4 doesn't show up as a nearby...

Is there a way to display the length of a phone call in the stock dialer? It shows the time of the call but not how long the call was. If there isn't a way to do it with the stock dialer...is there another option for a phone dialer? I'm rooted. Thanks.

I use a Kinivo BTC450 bluetooth adapter that allows me to play music (or make phone) calls through my car stereo over BT. It works great. I have three of these...one for each vehicle. When I get in any of the vehicles and press the big button on the Kinivo, music starts to play...

Samsung Galaxy S4 review: It's better than you'll ever notice - NBC News.com In my opinion, this review nailed the S4. Some quotes: Well said.

I would like to put a shortcut on my screen that takes me directly to the VPN settings page. I can't figure out how. Using stock TW but I am rooted.

If you dial *#0*# into the phone dialer, a built-in factory test app comes up where you can get raw data from the sensors and test a bunch of stuff. Never heard of this until I came across it in another forum. Handy to keep in your hip pocket. Maybe this will help someone. Here is...

I installed the NottachXposed Mod on my Sprint G4 and it works great. It says for AT&T only but I haven't had any issues (others on XDA have also reported success on Sprint). Am using on the stock ROM and it offers A LOT of features that should have been included in the stock ROM. I got it...

Rooted, stock ROM. Got a notification this morning about the System Update being downloaded and it's ready to install. I don't want to install it but the notification is stuck up there. How can I deny/remove this notification and prevent it from installing? I would rather maintain root than...

Using v3.0.4 of ES File Explorer and am rooted (stock ROM). When I select 'Root Explorer' I get a 'Test Failed. Can't use this feature on this phone.' SU access has been granted. I can explore the system files but can't modify anything. I tried rebooting, reloading the app and clearing...

I'm running Samba so I can browse/move files on my phone from my computer. Everything works and I can see the phone on my network and move files/back and forth but I cannot seem to access or find the SD card. I can only access the S4's internal memory. I'm rooted but all is stock. Using a...

When I enable Bluetooth, this menu always pops up. It serves no purpose. Is there a way to prevent it from showing up?

When using Chrome, "Samsung Mobile Bookmarks" would always be the default and it is full of crap and it can't be deleted or altered. More bloat shoved down our throats. Anyway, I think I found the solution to removing it and I haven't had any issues yet. Go to Settings>More>Application...

I could not send out any MMS text messages (photo attachment). I could receive them ok. Then, I turned WiFi off and it worked. I turned WiFi back on and it didn't work. I use Sprint. Any ideas before I give Sprint a call? On another note. When I try to search for "MMS" in this forum...

I turn wi-fi off when I won't be using it for a while to help conserve some battery. Mainly when I'm out in the field working or driving for a distance. But I noticed that it turns itself on automatically. It seems like whenever I plug in or unplug a charger it seems to trigger the wi-fi...

The GS4 is a wonderful smartphone...but it's not perfect (no phone is perfect). There are a couple of features that I wish it had. Comparing it to my previous smartphone, an HTC Evo 4G (original...on Sprint), these are the things I miss: 1. Kickstand. This is such a wonderful feature...

I was going to d/l Chrome from the Play Store but it says you need Android 4.x. I'm using MikG 3.11. Is there a way to get Chrome installed on this ROM? If not, is there a similar ROM (to MikG 3.11) that uses 4.x?

I was in the process of switching ROMs but I think I botched it by restoring "system apps" using TiBackup (see this post: http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/621763-tibackup-restore-hangs.html). Anyway, I'll try it again next weekend as I need my phone up and running for work so I...

I just loaded TEAM D.I.R.T//DigitalKarma v7.77: Jackpot(Deluxe Edition) ROM and am running restore all apps and system data through Ti Backup Pro Root. But it keeps hanging. It will restore about 1 or 2% and then just sit there. I can force stop TiBackup or reboot and start again but it...

I just flashed my ROM (from MikG 2.61 to 3.11) and everything when smoothly using Titanium Backup Pro. However, I did loose my music playlists. I guess Titanium doesn't save that stuff? I did make a nandroid of 2.61 before flashing so I should be able to restore my previous nandroid, get my...

I currently am using MikG 2.61 with the Aggressive-Freedom v0.9 kernel. I have some free time so I thought I would flash 3.11. I see that Aggressive-Freedom is now v0.9.5. Is this kernel ok to use with 3.11?

Can you access a Windows Home Network with the EVO 4G? Specifically, so you can share the files on your SD card and to pull files from other computers on the network using WIFI.

Kind of a basic question: when you turn wifi on is the 3G turned off? I was thinking in terms of saving battery. Do I need to turn the "Mobile" widget off when on wifi to help with battery life or is that redundant?

1. Do I want to move all my apps to the SD card? Or are there some that you want to leave on the phone? I set up a 1GB partition which should be plenty as I only have about 50 apps but I will probably be getting more. 2. When I move the apps to the SD using the built in...
