I don't know if the issue is in my phone or in my tablet. My phone is running Jellybean 4.1.2 on a custom kernel that I got from this forum: 3.0.101-MiRaGe mirage@aurora #1 Tue Oct 22 17:41:23 EDT 2013 My tablet is a 2013 Google Nexus 7 (build number LMY47O) running Lollipop 5.1 on...

Every now and then (usually late at night, oddly), I get a prompt to configure a wi-fi hotspot. I don't want to do this. The only option it gives me directly is "ask me later." How do I stop this from asking me ever again? It's not a problem per se, just slightly annoying. Is there a way to...

I'm going to do a Kies reset overnight, then flash CWM recovery, mrg666's kernel, and then zjones' deodexed JB followed by a factory reset. That should shake loose whatever's plaguing my phone! :ciao:

Not sure what else to say but "argh." Prior to my recent reset, it wasn't an issue. Plug in headphones, boom, the phone asks me what I want to listen to. Now, though, I plug in headphones and nothing. I adjust the volume and I hear it out the speakers, no matter how much I fiddle with the jack...

I had a singularly unique experience yesterday. (Context and context.) This is the launcher I use mostly because it's super light-weight. I've used it exclusively ever since ICS, after having experimented with a bunch of other launchers. I haven't yet re-installed all of the apps that I...

Small history here: Got my Reverb in April loaded with ICS. I waited a while to upgrade to JB. Earlier this week, I flashed mrg666's MiRaGe kernel. A few hours ago, I did a factory reset. Not only did the kernel survive the reset, but so did Super SU and the whole being rooted thing. In the...

I'm trying to use Kies to get a fresh installation of firmware, but as soon as the download process begins, Kies no longer sees my phone. Once the download is complete, Kies remains greyed and if I try to do anything with it, Windows tells me it's become unresponsive and I have to force it...

Hello. Is there any way to change which weather widget shows up on the lock screen? Right now, it pulls the info from the AccuWeather widget on the TouchWiz launcher. The thing is, I use a different launcher and a different weather app. The AccuWeather info on the lock screen does not...

My ICS had been rooted via Poot. I accepted the OTA upgrade to JB and it seemed to go well. I then did a factory reset, so now I'm squeaky clean... ostensibly. I have not yet begun the process of rooting JB. When I power off my phone and turn it back on again, I get a yellow triangle with...

Hello, everyone. As I said in the title, I have a bunch of questions that relate one way or another to the whole process of updating to JellyBean. 1. A few months ago, I followed this tutorial to the letter to format my external SD card. I made my larger partition FAT32 and my smaller...

It occurred to me that since the JB update will unroot me anyway, I might as well unroot myself beforehand in the hopes of making the update process a little easier. That is to say, maybe it will all just happen automatically instead of booting into either download or recovery and asking me for...

In a fit of bad judgment, I did something stupid and now I'm paying the price. My question is this: Is the mess I made easily fixable, or do I have no other option but to factory-reset and start from scratch? Here's what I should not have done: Even though my external SD card likes to...

Samsung Galaxy Reverb running Ice Cream Sandwich. It's rooted, but that's the only special thing I've done. It's running the stock ROM. When I rooted, I followed the instructions to the letter. When I formatted my SD card so that I could use Link2SD, I followed the instructions to the letter...

What app, preferably free, would you recommend to be able to properly see all the files in my entire directory structure? If it's a terminal, that's fine. I'm conversant enough with Linux. I just want to know which of the many available apps works best with SGR/ICS. Thanks.

To quote Dorothy Parker: "What fresh Hell is this?" My SGR/ICS is rooted. It reports that internally, I'm using 407MG/2.05GB and externally, I'm using 1.83MB/57.50GB. Yesteray, I used MiniTool Partition Wizard to format and partition my external SD card so that I could use Link2SD. I gave...

I am FINALLY getting to the whole reason why I wanted to root in the first place: the ability to move some apps from the internal card to the external card. :D Someone recommended Link2SD, so I installed it. Now it's saying I need to partition my SD card, and I'm not sure how to do that. Do I...

Rooting went without a hitch. Flashing CWM through Odin went without a hitch. Now I'm on that long-awaited backup. I booted into Recovery and I can see that the background is now a grey fabric pattern with the CWM logo in the center. At the very top it says: CWM-based Recovery v6.0.2.3...

Surely the existence of Heimdall for Linux means that there are drivers out there that will allow, say, Ubuntu, to recognize the SGR. I've been searching for Samsung drivers for Linux and thought I found what I was looking for ... turns out it's drivers for printers. Nope! Can anyone help...

Hello, all. My resolve to root my phone is growing stronger. I've installed Samsung Kies and have used it to back up what it can. I've also used other methods to back up my data. In theory, I'm ready to start. First, though, I need to flesh out a plan that I can follow. Step one: do this...

I'd like to disable in-app purchasing on my device. I'm not sure if it's done on a per-app basis, or if there's some master on/off switch in my settings somewhere. Either way, I'm having trouble finding where to do this. Thank you!

Hello, everyone. I'm a thoroughly green and completely wet-behind-the-ears newbie. I got my Samsung Galaxy Reverb from Virgin Mobile on March 7, and I've never had a smart phone before. One thing I recently noticed is that my phone does not seem up to specs. It's supposed to have 4GB internal...
