    Help screen timeout setting won't stick

    I have a galaxy s7 that I bought and have been using with straight talk. I set my screen timeout on ten minutes a while back because of a game I was playing. I am not playing it right now so I changed it back to one minute and it keeps changing itself back to ten minutes. I also tried 30...

    Help How to transfer data from my N5 to my Galaxy S7?

    Smart Switch mobile to mobile is not working-it just sticks at connecting. I'm pretty sure I have granted all necessary permissions. I downloaded smart switch for PC and there doesn't appear to be any way to get my N5 data onto my PC. What else can I try? eta: My N5 is rooted with stock...

    S7 - worth the $$?

    My nexus 5 has served me well but now it won't charge through the port so I had to buy a wireless charger and it takes forever to charge, not to mention how inconvenient this is when I'm on the go. Everything I'm looking at is missing a feature or gets bad reviews on a feature that I really...

    Root installed the new DU but now gapps won't install

    I tried using the banks gapps at the DU site first and the installation failed. Then I tried the old PA Gapps I had installed the last time and they didn't work either. Any other ideas? I'm downloading the DU gapps now but I'm worried they won't work either. I did a clean install. eta: I...

    Root Why is my screen being recorded

    And how do I stop it? I. Didn't initiate it and don't really even know how to. But I can't make it stop without rebooting. I have no idea what is causing or starting it. It just shows up in my notification bar and says recording screen with a camera icon next to it.

    Root Can't send MMS since flashing newest DU rom (fixed, I think)

    any ideas? is there a better phone radio or is that even what MMS uses? My data signal is fine-I can get online with it. My phone signal works-I can call out and receive calls. I can send SMS but just not MMS. I tried to send one last night and tonight it was still trying to send so I deleted...

    Root walmart app-problem after flashing to du

    I use the app to scan my receipts for the savings catcher thing. But since flashing the newest DU it won't scan them. I can still add them manually but I prefer to scan. I checked and permissions are set on for camera so I'm not sure what else to try. I also cleared the defaults in my camera app...

    Root Keep losing my cell signal.

    I'm on vacation so it's really important for my phone to work. No one else is having trouble, including our other straight talk phone. Only this one. If I reboot it comes back briefly but sometimes it's taking several reboots. I can't call, text or get online when it happens. Any ideas...

    Sometimes my phone gets really hot. Today I used it for maybe 10 minutes and it got very hot-about 112 degrees F. I have the DU rom and the Franco kernel. Is there a setting to avoid this?

    Root Phone charging is taking longer than normal

    since I installed DU. In the past I could plug it into my computer and when I got up 5 or 6 hours later it would be fully charged. Now, 8 hours after plugging it in, it's still not quite charged all the way. I know the USB takes longer but I'm comparing USB to USB in this case. Using the same...

    Root Do you modify app permissions?

    I noticed that with the DU rom I can modify app permissions. I did on google play services because it was waking my phone a lot and I don't know why (I'll switch it back if something quits working). Does anyone modify them and what do you usually remove permission on? I've been going in and...

    Help is there a fix for the bad auto screen brightness?

    Even when the surrounding light stays exactly the same, my phone will suddenly go blindingly bright and then after a few minutes, will finally re-adjust to the correct brightness. This has always happened since I got it and from reading it looks like it's a common issue. I was just hoping...

    Looking for a new browser

    I love the ability to jump to the top or bottom of a webpage in Dolphin but since the last update, it crashes on me every single time. Is there another browser that has this ability?

    Help something is up with my sound

    first there was no sound sometimes when I played songpop (if you play songpop you know sound is important on this game). I tried force-stopping the game and it didn't help so I had to reboot every time this happened. Then it would start cutting out during scramble with friends. Not as essential...
