Hi there, I'm considering buying a used Verizon Galaxy S4 and I'm trying to determine what are the key points to know. I am seeing a lot of discussion about the different bootloaders, different kernels, different android versions, etc. It seems like some phones cannot have the bootloader...

I have a friend with a Commando and I'm hoping to quickly figure out whether or not I can safely try rooting and removing bloat on that phone. Questions: 1) Is there a fail-safe like an sbf available? 2) Can the most recent OTA/system update be rooted? 3) Is there a 'one click' tool that...

Soooo I've done some extensive research on the subject of available Droid X armbands. They all seem to have 1 or 2 a major flaws. Flaw 1) They have a plastic sheet over the screen >>> This design makes sense based on the design of the armbands. Since they're all made of some non-ridged...

So I've done some searching and can't really find anything that seems to discuss my problem. So those of you who have screwed around with root explorer surely know how imperative the search function can be (especially when hunting pesky remainder shards of a program that cause problems)...

Ok, there is literally no way that I'm the only one who has asked this question but I can't find the answer by searching. Here's my problem, after I flash my rom and restart my phone the market begins auto-downloading all the apps I previously had installed. I do not want this bc I use titanium...

The title says it all: has anyone had any experience with Worth Ave phone insurance? Googling doesn't turn up very many discussions of the insurance, however it does look pretty good on paper. If you've had an experience with in, please give some details. What did you insure? How much did...

The title says it all guys. I'm gonna include a poll simply this isn't a matter of opinion, it's an easily identifiable fact. If you are unsure what class micro SD card your phone came with please follow the following instructions (this should be most of you, because unless you had some...

Ok so here's the deal guys and gals, I am trying to have my phone assist me with my running. There are plenty of apps that will track my run via gps if I bring my phone on the run with me, but I don't wanna do that. I want to be able to map a course out, enter how long it took me, save the...

I'm sure this isn't news to any of you veterans, but this is my first android device so please bare with me. I'm using the facebook app and have noticed that neither the app itself or the widget show the actual facebook live feed or provide a way to access it.... Of course my next thought...

So I just realized that I know a lot about the phones themselves, but I know relatively little about the app markets... (the DX is on its way, and is my 1st smartphone). I have read a bit about the Android Market, Androlib and Appbrain, but I really don't have a good feel for what the...

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has tried getting video output with a 3.5mm to RCA cable. I wonder if it may be less restrictive than the HDMI hookup... but I'm getting ahead of myself: I'm not even sure if it works at all. Anyone wanna give it a shot? TBH it probably won't work, but we...

Does anyone have any experience with Luxmo Crystal Skin Checker cases? It appears that it is the same exact case as the Amzer Luxe Argyle cases. I have a sneaking suspicion that Amzer and Luxmo outsource the production of these cases (aka they hire the same company to make these cases for...

There are other threads about this, but I kinda wanted to get some discussion going in the Fascinate thread. Here is a link to the Phandroid article concerning the testing: Galaxy S Undergoes Intense Scratch and Damage Test | Android Phone Fans I had to go here: Video: Galaxy S goes through...

I thought I'd just take a quick moment to address the quadrant benchmarks. Most of you are familiar with them: they're the bar charts you've seen popping up with a number of different Android phones graphed. Like this ---> Motorola Shadow Benchmarked, Looking Pretty Zippy | Android Phone...

So a while back techcrunch produced a comparison of 4 different touchscreen accuracy. The article is here: iPhone Beats Droid, Nexus One And Droid Eris In Touchscreen Performance (FYI I'm not saying their results are correct or incorrect) It seems to be an easy and accurate testing method of...

I already posted this in the HTC Droid Incredible forum but since you folks probably aren't constantly inspecting that forum, I'm posting it here to get the opposing insight as well: NOTE: Please read my entire post before commenting!!!! I'm in dire need of a smartphone and have been for ~ 6...
