Has anyone found an HDMI cable that will allow me to hook my S3 display to my big screen TV? I bought one from NewEgg, but it didn't work...the seller eventually decided it was only for the S2.

Now that I'm rooted, is there an easy way to get rid of the annoying Verizon start up and shut down music? Perhaps some files I can delete with Root Explorer or something equally simple?

I use a VPN service for privacy reasons. I've set it up on my S3, and can easily connect to it...but whenever my phone auto-switches between wi-fi and 4G, it disconnects the VPN. Does anyone know of a way to keep the VPN connection active?

When I hooked my Samsung Fascinate to my Windows 7 computer, the SD card immediately appeared just like any flash drive in My Computer, allowing to easily transfer files back and forth between computer and phone. With the S3, it doesn't work...can't access the internal 16 GB at all. Just got off...

I've flashed my phone twice, but despite that I'm still a hopeless noob, so I'm begging for guidance here. I rooted my Fascinate and flashed Community Rom 2.1 last summer, then wiped it and switched to Powerwashed 20 beta 3 in October. Since then the phone has been slower than with Community...

Is there a way to send/receive text messages on my Fascinate using my own cell phone number, without getting charged by Verizon? I want other people to be able to initiate text conversations with me, without me having to give them a different phone number or app.

I recently read something about ED05 fixing "the missed call issue". Not infrequently my wife (also with a rooted Fascinate) and I will call each other, but the call never shows up on the other's phone...not even as a missed call. Is that what ED05 fixes? If so, exactly what do I have to do to...

When I click on a phone number in an app (like Groupon), instead of going to the dialer, it goes to text messaging (I think I may have selected that option accidentally once). How can I get it to go back to putting the number in the dialer so I can call it instead of message it?

For many of the desktop icons using ADW Launcher EX 1.3.3, I don't need accompanying labels. I tried getting rid of them by long-tapping the icons, selecting "edit", and erasing that field. Works initially, but the next time I boot the phone, the labels reappear. Am I doing something wrong? Is...

Is there a way to turn off the audible notification that the battery is fully charged in Community Rom 2.1?

I've now fallen in love with my Fascinate all over again. Running Superclean 2.9 I kept getting random app crashes, phone resets, freezing, and all sorts of problems. I finally gave in and wiped the phone, and installed Community Rom 2.1, and now my Fascinate is working near perfection. No...

After installing the UKB_2.1_patch_nokernel.zip patch on top of a fresh install of Community Rom 2.0 (UKB_2_pbj50_fixed.zip), the Voltage Control app no longer works correctly. It pops up the message "Unsupported kernal detected. The kernal your device is running is incompatible with Voltage...

I recently put community_rom_1.3_test2.zip on my phone, and it's been working great. Wife wants the same thing on her stock 2.2 phone. I used SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse to root her phone. Then did a Titanium backup. Tried to do a Nandroid backup, but kept getting an error message. I then...

If I take a stock Verizon Fascinate and use Odin3 to install CWM3 on it, does that mean the phone is rooted? This is my wife's phone, and I'll pay dearly if I muck it up. Before installing a community rom on it, I wanted to use Titanium backup to save all her stuff, but then discovered the...

I'm using ADW launcher, with 7 screens. How do I select which of those screens is the home screen?

Sorry in advance, but I need to re-root my phone, as it's crashing and self-rebooting (often into safe mode) several times a day, and I unfortunately just don't have the time to read hundreds of posts, trying to learn the lingo. Right now I have this: Model SCH-I500 Firmware 2.2.1 Baseband EB01...

The sticky thread gives this helpful info: "This thread has been closed because the method is out of date and no longer Relevant." "If you see a thread is closed please do not follow those procedures, They are closed for a reason." My rooted Fascinate is self-rebooting several times a day...

When I reboot into Clockwork, I'm given four options: reboot system now apply sdcard:update.zip wipe data/factory reset wipe cache partition How do I get to the advanced menu, where I can wipe the Dalvik cache?

My rooted Fascinate is putting a red SD-card image in my notification bar. Clicking on it pops up a window that says "Memory full. Internal phone storage space is nearly full. Delete/Uninstall some applications or data and try again." Yesterday, I deleted fifteen apps, and the warning vanished...

(Not sure whether to post this here or under Support and Troubleshooting, but since I'm rooted with Superclean 9.2, I'll ask here) Yesterday my 3G connection vanished. Can only access the internet via wi-fi, and the little 3G symbol in the notification bar is gone. Rebooting with battery...

When I hook my Fascinate to my Windows 7 64-bit computer and enable the USB connection, Windows pops up a notice recommending that I "Scan and fix" my "Removable Disk". Is that safe to do? I don't want Windows to change something that'll prevent Fascinate from correctly accessing the SD...

When I reboot into Clockwork, I see an option to "wipe date/factory reset" and "wipe cache partition", but nothing about Dalvik cache. I read somewhere that wiping the Dalvik cache is under "Advanced", but Clockwork isn't showing me an "Advanced" option. Help?

Just wondering how widespread this problem is. Since rooting and installing Superclean 2.9, I've been getting at least a dozen spontaneous reboots a day, mostly when at idle. (The only way I know about those is by seeing all the dumpstate logs in the root folder). It's thus a mostly innocuous...

If I want to upgrade to a newer version of SuperClean, do I just install it with Odin? And what effect will doing so have on my installed apps, contact list, etc.?

Thoughts?
