Just in the TV/Video section it's both nostalgic as well as funny: "Android TV, along with the Nexus Player, will inevitably revolutionize television just as iTunes revolutionized music and Android revolutionized smartphones. Find all the Android TV news and info your heart desires from the...

Notice when in recents overview there is a tiny error 'couldn't add widget' in the upper left? I'm not adding any widgets and those I did add seem to work perfectly fine? Currently on 5.0.2

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...

Thanks to some talented developers over at XDA and an app called MultiROM, there is a means of using the Developer Preview of Android L on the 2012 WiFi only Nexus 7, and I've had time to use it today to see what has changed, and I must say it has revived interest in both stock Android as well...

After my Note 3 got updated to Kit Kat OTA I lost the cool S4 light effect lock screen effect option. I now have the ancient ripple effect from the Galaxy S3 or none. Only options now are none, ripple, and watercolor. Light is missing and has me TO'd. Even after root and a custom ROM it...

not sure if i should post it here but i'm not a member of XDA. the AccuWeather widget on the HD ROM seems incapable of automatic refresh, i got it set for each hour but it never updates on its own unless i manually tap refresh on either my Gear 2 or Note 3. or wake the Note 3 up. i have GPS and...

The new TouchWiz is cool. I'm rooted but Kit Kat firmware doesn't do custom ROMs, so is there an Xposed hack to get the S5 toggles, notification shade, settings UI? I already side loaded the launcher and S Voice and found a lock screen replacement. Also can one get ultra power saver mode as well?

The only two theories are 1) sunrise time or 2) it's daytime. But that cannot be because 1) it's showing 1 AM or 1 PM neither of which correspond with sunrise or sunset, and 2) it's 11 PM

when my S4 got botched up by my attempt at rooting in order to block the KitKat OTA from installing onto it (i expected it to turn into the iOS 7-inspired UI seen in the Galaxy S5--did not want) i had to replace it. given that i am eligible for Verizon EDGE, i got the Note 3--a phone i wanted...

KitKat was a non-issue for my Note 3, which surprised me. but given that it was not much on my Nexus devices i didn't expect much. absolutely hate the all-white icons though. and, like my Nexus 7 and 10, no surprise, no ART. that's all that makes KitKat KitKat was ART. but without it's just a...

One of the features the S4 should have is Social Hub essentially avoiding the need for the awful Facebook app and consolidating all your feeds into one widget. Problem is, it appears to be missing on my Galaxy S4. Am i missing something? Tried to find it in the Samsung App store but no dice...

I know this isn't the proper forum but the forum for the S4 appears rather dead lately. I keep getting this pop-up to update to KitKat on my S4. i am not a fan of KitKat on the S5 (seen it in store) and not a fan of all-white icons, and any other changes that may cause issues later on. as of...

I like my S4 UI the way it is. i do not want the Kitkat flat design stuff they put in the S5, and i don't want the white notification icons that are part of it either. i am not rooted, just got this S4 a few weeks ago. i really like Nature UX and TouchWiz the way it is. i disabled 'software...

for the last two days, my phone seems to be preferring 3G service despite good LTE signal quality in my area. what happens is i can toggle Airplane mode and then turn that off, and it will get on 4G LTE with three bars for a few minutes, get very good speeds, but, all of a sudden, it will drop...

Hello, i've had a SGH-i535 D2VZW Samsung Galaxy SIII for almost a year now, and while it's an excellent phone and is reliable to a fault, i've had a battery drain from Hades for as long as i have had the phone. at first, i figured it's the usual 'Android sucks on battery life' kind of thing, i...

soon after i got the 4.3 OTA this notification pops up and then my wifi connection automatically disconnects from the phone and it dumps to 3G. clicking it in the shade pops up a dialog saying 'your internet connection is unstable blah blah' and mentions this auto switching feature. i went into...

I'm a bit concerned, as i've read this and that on XDA about people wanting to reset their 'flash counter' for some reason. what is this thing? does it fry the phone's chips after X number of custom ROMs thus turning it into a literal brick? seems important enough if so many ask about resetting it?

Bluetooth was the first to die. now it won't play music at all except through the microphone on the top of the phone. been having tons of wifi woes that somehow work themselves out with a reboot (rebooting should never be an acceptable solution) and now worse yet, the Goo.im app tells me it's...

almost all the good ROMs out there, especially the KitKat ones, seem to all be for the GT-i9300. hardly any exist for the i535. is there a reason this model is the least popular one?

Battery life. 1 day, 12 hours.

This toast notification started popping up when updating a lot of apps in Play Store. It doesn't stop anything but does slow down the store app and sometimes it crashes. Internal storage has well over 8GB left. Is this a new bug?
