I have a Note 3, rooted, originally T-Mobile, now MetroPCS. At least once a week, sometimes daily, I get a configuration text message. I can stop them by force stopping OMACP, but then all text messaging is disabled. Is there a way to block just these messages?

I have an unlocked and rooted T-Mobile Note 3 (N900T) that I am trying to use on AT&T. On T-Mobile I would get at least 20 Mbps down, sometimes as high as 50. On AT&T I get 1 or 2, sometimes 3 Mbps down. I mean, it is pathetic. I found instructions to create a new APN: Name: ATT Phone APN...

I bought my Note 3 on Craigslist back in January. The IMEI was clean, and T-Mobile told me it was not being financed. On June 1 T-Mobile blocked the IMEI leaving me with a brick. Apparently T-Mobile lied, it was being financed and it later went into arrears. T-Mobile told me my only solution was...

Every so often my Note 3 displays a warning icon and when I pull down the task bar it says it is a sign-in request to my Gmail account, the one that I had to create when I started using an Android phone several years ago. I absolutely never use this account, nor have I ever given it to anyone...

Action Memo suits me fine, but ever since the Kit Kat update it crashes when I try to open an old memo or a new memo. Hence, I am looking for a replacement. I want something that it will pop up when I pull out the S-Pen like Action Memo does. PS: It has been suggested that I clear the data for...

I have no use for visual voicemail. Like, what is the point? It seems much simpler just to select the voicemail and have the phone immediately call to listen to it. I've looked everywhere, but I can't find any way to disable or uninstall visual voicemail. Is it possible and, if so, how?

I have a mental disability following a stroke where I cannot think straight when looking at confusing colors and images. In the past I have found that phones work well for me as long as I use a plain white wallpaper. I set my Note 3 wallpaper to plain white with the Colors application. While the...

I have an SGS2 that I bought new on Craigslist within days after it was released for T-Mobile. It works great, except for one glaring problem. My local credit union has an app that allows you to deposit checks by taking a picture of it. The app works fine on my SGS2 except that when I go to take...

I bought my SGS2 within a week after it came out on T-Mobile. It has worked well for me all this time - no root or anything, just plain stock OS. My financial institution has long had an Android app, but recently they have come out with a new version that allows you to deposit checks with your...

SGS2, stock, 2.6.35.11-1209942, Gingerbread UVLDH I can't stand Swype. I want Thinkbuttons. But since the last software update all I can use is Swype. When I go into Language and Keyboard there is no option to disable it. Thickbuttons is listed, and I checked it, but the keyboard is still...

I'm probably too stupid to be allowed to have a SGS2, but I do, and I love it. All except for when making calls, because the timeout on the screen is too short. Today I needed to call about 20 places one after the other. I would hang up one call and look at my list for the next phone number, and...

When I picked up my T-Mobile SGS2 this morning it said there was a version upgrade available, and offered to install it. I did so, and now I have Android 2.3.6, kernel 2.6.35.11, and build GINGERBREAD.UVKL1. After rebooting it popped up a screen asking for my usual address in order to enable...

Maybe this is by design, but if so, it is a dumb design. So I get home and my phone is down to 42%, and a brand new battery that I ordered from eBay ($23.98 with shipping) has arrived and I want to charge them both up. So to speed up the charging process I decide to power down the phone so all...

I bought a battery and battery dock charger on eBay for my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2: eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices When it arrived I placed the battery in the dock and plugged it in. While charging the light was red, and when...

I live in an HSPA+42 city, and I spent the better part of today setting up my new Samsung Galaxy S2. One of the first apps I installed was Speedtest.net. Here are some statistics for 26 tests at various locations*. The first number is the ping, then download, then upload: Lowest: 69 ms...

I need to connect to a wireless network that is secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK, which requires a password of seven characters, comprised of six lowercase letters and one numeral. When I attempt to connect the Galaxy S2 sees the network and offers to connect to it, but the "Connect" button remains...

On my new Samsung Galaxy S2 the only way to turn on silent mode is to: 1) Press power button on upper right edge 2) Swipe to unlock 3) Press Menu 4) Select Settings 5) Select Sound 6) Select Silent mode Whew! On my ancient MyTouch 3G I just hit the power button and the initial screen had an...

Yesterday I had some time and was near a T-Mobile store, so I stopped in to see the Sensation. They had one just loose out on the shelf next to the display dummy, so I picked it up to play with it. However, the screen said "No SIM card." At that point a sales dude came over, so I asked him why...

Today I went to a T-Mobile store to check out the G2X. The rep let me play with it as much as I wanted, so I installed Speedtest and checked out the connection in the store. I got 4.9 to 5.8 Mbps down and about 1.0 up. Then I went to try out the FM radio, because that is a big deal for me. I...

I have a MyTouch 3G with Andoid 2.2.1. I have a limited data plan (30 MB) because at home and at school I can connect to wifi. Yet the phone continually uses 3G in spite of the fact that it is connected to wifi and the wifi icon is in the panel alongside the 3G icon. Is there a way to force it...

I'm probably the world's worst googler, but I can't find this information anywhere. How much RAM does the SGSII have and how much built-in storage, not counting the SD card slot, which I assume can be up to 32 GB?

All I can find is: 4G Android 2.2 4.3 inch super Amoled 8 mp rear and unknown front cameras HDMI out 3.5mm headset jack 1 GHz processor Android 2.2 How much RAM? Internal storage? FM radio? Type/brand of CPU? Bluetooth 3.0? SIM slot so I can use it outside of the US?

I bought a used MyTouch 3G to use with T-Mobile. I did a factory reset, which left me with Android 2.2.1. I have a problem with the dial pad when talking on a call. These days companies do everything possible to avoid having to actually answer the phone and talk directly to a customer. And if...

Today I bought a used T-Mobile MyTouch 3G. It has Android 2.2.1. I don't know if it has been rooted, but if it has not I'd just as soon leave it that way for now until I learn more what I am doing. The seller didn't delete anything before handing it over. I uninstalled all the apps that I...

I've been with AT&T for years, but with a plain old phone, therefore no data plan. I had, but returned, an Atrix 4G, and while I had it I fell in love with Android. I have been doing a lot of research on various 4G phones / plans, and what I really want is an Inspire 4G, but on T-Mobile instead...
