I just noticed my phone is already at 50% battery and I haven't really done anything with it yet today. Looking in the battery menu I see that I unplugged it about 5.5 hours ago and android os has used 90% of that 50%. Usually the culprit is display but not this time. What the heck is the os...

I chose to post here because it looks pretty active. I posted in the US cellular root forum this morning and was wondering why I got no responses. Then I looked closer. The forums has 15 posts total and no activity for quite a while. The sticky post with all the root info has no roms, no...

I am thinking about rooting my s4 have more control over my battery, apps running in the background, etc. My phone just dies too fast. Posting 2 things in these forums just now has drained 5% in about 5 minutes. That seems like a bit much. My questions are- Is there a way to keep my game...

I have noticed for quite some time that my phone drains faster than it seems like it should. In the first 2 hours after unplugging it it might drain like 12% and I do nothing at all with the phone. When I run the optimizer app I have it says it's killing like 40+ apps sometimes. Is there a way...

When using my phone today I could hear really low music playing. Not any song I know or anything, just a tune. And it seemed that only I could hear it. Anyone know what this is??

One day it worked, next day it didn't. Phone was at about 50% when I plugged it in last night. made the little beep and said charging. Also the red indicator light was on stating that the phone is charging but not full. Also the battery symbol has the lightning bolt in it as if it is charging...

Are there any camcorder apps that have these features- 1. motion activated recording. Like it starts recording when motion is detected and will continue to record until there is no activity for a while. 2. Will continue to record with the screen off. 3. Still record in HD quality like the...

Every time I restart my phone nothing on the SD card loads. I have to restart my phone over and over until one time the apps and stuff will randomly load. Also, it never saves my widgets if I restart. I always have to re-do my clock battery stats, etc. New problem that just started- My phone...

Title says it all. My craptastic evo won't charge most of the time anymore. Says its plugged in when it it but also says it is discharging while plugged in. HTC port design fail. So, until I move onto a better phone I need a way to charge this battery. any suggestions?

When I plugged my phone in last night it would go straight into car mode. the charging light comes on but it does not charge. I have an app called Battery Monitor and when I open it and plug my phone in it tells me my phone is plugged in, but discharging. Strange thing is, when the phone is...

It is looking more and more like I will be abandoning the good ol' Evo pretty soon. Sprint has garbage service in my area and The more I read about the Galaxy S3 the more I think it's out performing anything HTC is throwing out. US Cellular is the top coverage carrier where I live and now that...

I am looking to maybe change from my Evo to the S3 and the carrier I would use is US Cellular. They have the best service and reception where I live by far. I don't see an "All things root" forum for US cellular phones. Do I use a different one? Are the roms different depending on the carrier?

Tried All sorts of setting changes on all 3 options. No matter what I do I can not get my laptop to get internet access at all. I can connect to several other wifi networks so I know it is not an issue with my laptop. I'm thinking the features just simply do not work on Decks. I thought it said...

Just got Deck's Reloaded as i'm sure all of you know since i've posted a million questions about it. Anyway, My contacts are all messed up. There are 2 and sometimes 3 of everyone. Their emails and phone numbers seem to be separate and each has its own contact making it really annoying when...

I see that system tuner (free version) comes with a widget. I threw it on one of my screens and it's a 1x1 square that has a little android guy in the center. currently underneath him it says 117MB and above him it says 29/29. also a green bar to his right that is about 25% full. What does all...

I am having a hell of a time getting any kind of clock, superclock or weather widget on any screen. There just seems to be no options fo any kind for this. The widgets menu has only like 10 things on it, none of which are clocks. Well, there is one generic analog clock I can use. I have...

Every now and then I get a message in the status bar saying "google talk authentication failed" I have never used google talk so I don't know what the deal is with this. It also says "if this is a google apps account, make sure chat is enabled" I also don't know what a google apps account is so...

I don't want to use Dark Tremor and that is the one you have the option of getting with this rom. I found an app that lets me move my apps to the SD card but with Mik 3.11 I believe A2SD was in there and any app I downloaded was automatically moved to the SD card. Is there a way to get A2SD on...

Am I doing something wrong or do you have to manually reinstall each app 1 at a time when doing a restore? I'd like it to just restore all my stuff without me having to be there to click install on each app. Slows the restore process WAY down and requires me to babysit it.

Had mik 3.11 for a while and wanted something different. So I got Decks reloaded. made a nandroid, backed up my stuff, wiped and rooted. Turns out titanium didnt backup my contacts at all. Lame. I need those. so I went back to recovery, wiped the phone and restored my nandroid. Now my phone...

Does anyone know if there is anything new in the works for the MikG roms? New roms? Updates? I check the mikmik forums periodically and the last update I believe was a few months ago or older. I love the rom, just always looking for something fresh and new and if Mik is done with Evo stuff I may...

I am running Mik 3.0 and am having some pretty ugly lag issues with a few games. Mobage ones to be specific. I was thinking the problem might be that the games are on my sd card which is the 8GB class 2 that came with my phone. Would putting these games on my phone remove some lag? Also, I think...

I am running MikG3.0 with the ICS theme. Lately my phone has been really laggy and when I exit games and stuff the SD card seems to have to load every time. Does a theme slow your phone down at all? And what things are safe to wipe without losing any app settings and game progress?

I posted this in the support and troubleshooting forums and all I got was 153 views. Seems the only place to get real help is the root forums. :) Here is my post- I plug my phone into the USB port on my computer, Enable USB tethering when it asks, and can never get internet connection working...

I plug my phone into the USB port on my computer, Enable USB tethering when it asks, and can never get internet connection working on the PC. It says right on the option that it uses my phones 3g connection to enable internet access. Does not indicate a need to be connected to a wi-fi network or...
