    Do you keep Location on all the time?

    I've always had GPS On/Off on all previous phones rather than "Location"... And if I wanted my battery to last more than a few hours I'd keep GPS off unless absolutely needed. I'm using Google Now more these days, and more apps are using Location. Curious, do you guys keep Location on or...

    Root Need to exchange S5, will AT&T be able to tell I was rooted?

    I'm still within my 14 day exchange period (barely). I need to exchange my phone but I'm rooted (using Towelroot). 1. Will they be able to tell I was rooted? I didn't see anything about KNOX during root process (aside from SU# asking if I wanted to try to disable it upon install). 2. If so...

    Help Camera app saving to 2 locations randomly

    It's driving me nuts. I am using vignette as my camera app (good app). Can someone please tell me the difference between /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/dcim/camera and /sdcard/external_sd/dcim/camera Those are the 2 locations it's saving to. No rhyme or reason to it either. It irritates...

    Titanium Backup: Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app with a widget (cool feature)

    I stumbled on a useful feature in Titanium Backup the other day. I am assuming it is a Pro feature but since going pro I believe it's well worth it. I find myself wanting to freeze and defrost apps on-the-fly, such as Facebook, since it is such an invasive app when you're not using it. But...

    iBolt Hands-Free Car Dock mini-review

    It occurred to me that I've been holding out on my friends here with my top favorite accessory for our phones. I've been using the iBolt car dock since Christmas and I absolutely love it. I looked at other docks including the Samsung OEM one, but this one beat them all out for my needs after...

    Post your SD card read/write speeds

    I'm curious what you guys are seeing for SD r/w speeds. I recently "upgraded" to a SanDisk Ultra 32gb Class-10 (UHS-1) which is supposed to be screaming fast. I bought it from a reputable retailer (Micro Center) and have tried two of the same card so far after seeing less than stellar results...

    Just registered my phone online, took survey, now phone REBOOTS non stop!?!

    So I filled out an online survey saying how Extremely Satisfied I am with my phone. Then I registered it on Samsung's website (where I entered my HEX id FWIW), and as soon as I finished all that, my phone is now rebooting non stop. It boots, gets to the home screen where I can interact with it...

    TeamViewer Quick Support - Remote INTO your Samsung phone from PC

    I've used TeamViewer at work for a long time to support clients. Probably the best remote software out there imo. I've also had TeamViewer installed on all my phones so I can remote INTO a PC from my phone. Last night I stumbled on TeamViewer Quick Support which let's you connect TO your...

    Help Running Apps get "minimized" when opening other apps

    If I've got an app open (say a Browser, or Waze... anything) and I open another app (even if a text comes in and I read it via the pulldown/notification bar), once I back out of the second app (with the Back button) it always takes me back to the home screen, as opposed to the initial app...

    Help Screen takes a couple seconds to come on

    Ever since the day I got this phone it takes literally about 2 full seconds for the display to appear when I push the button (already powered on and on stand by of course). Same delay while on a call and I take the phone away from my head and screen comes alive with the proximity sensor...

    SOO Tempted to grab GS2 Black Friday Deal - What is your opinion?

    I bought an HTC Evo Design 4G (Boost) from Radio Shack online about 2 weeks ago for $249. I'm enjoying it coming up from the little Galaxy Prevail but it is somewhat laggy. I stumbled across the Boost Black Friday deal on the GS2 last night for $299 and am thinking for $50 more than I...

    Root Question for all you ROM devs for the Evo on a setting I need

    Important to me at least... On my last phone (Samsung Galaxy Prevail) running CM7, I was able to change my GPS Source in my settings. I could then connect my external Bluetooth GPS (Holux GPSlim 236) and the phone would use it rather than internal gps which gave far superior accuracy. This...

    Not a single thread on what CASE you're using?

    I'm shocked! :confused: Every other phone I've bought and came on here to research had at least 15 threads where everyone was arguing about the best case to use. Strangely enough, this is the FIRST phone I've owned that I actually do want to put a thin skin/case on for two reasons: 1. The...

    How big is the Dalvik Cache allowed to get?

    Just curious if it is permitted to grow unlimited amounts. I try to clear mine regularly by going into \data\dalvik-cache and deleting everything then rebooting. Today for example, my available Internal memory was about 18MB. I wiped the cache then went back into Titanium Backup and had...

    Help Unable to charge non supported battery - see user manual (stock battery!)

    Occasionally when (or shortly after) I plug my phone in, it pops an error message "Unable to charge non supported battery - see user manual" and stops charging. This is the STOCK Samsung battery that came with the phone and the stock charger. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it gets in...

    Charging DOCK / cradle for Prevail?

    Does anyone know of a charging dock that will work with our phones? Seems like there has to be one out there that will work...just needs to have a micro USB centered in the cradle and be similar dimensions. If it was close to the same size I could make it work with a Dremel and some ingenuity...

    Help Anyone Using the Barcode Scanner (ZXing)

    I am trying to use the Barcode Scanner by ZXing Team and just can't seem to get it to scan. The camera doesn't focus that well up close. App itself runs fine and the viewfinder comes up to scan, but it just never seems to catch it (on traditional, old-school 2d barcodes, haven't tried QR codes...
