Hi all. I've attempted to update my Nexus 4 from Cyanogenmod 10.1.x to stock Android 4.4, and I don't like the result. I want to go back. If there's a better place for Clockworkmod-specific queries, please let me know. I have made a complete clockworkmod backup and moved the file to my pc via...

Hi all, I've just replaced my (excellent) HTC Desire with a used HTC Desire Z (slightly slower CPU, but oodles more RAM and also a real keyboard). I wanted a proper car dock for this thing (like my old Desire, I can sort of jam it into my dash between the side of the gauges and the...

Hiya. I just upgraded my rooted-with-clockworkmod-but-otherwise-stock HTC Desire to CM7 -- that is Cyanogen Mod version 7 RC 1 -- and man, does it ever ROCK! :D My old install was quite okay, except that I constantly got force close errors for "com.htc.bgp" which didn't seem to do anything...

Not sure where to post this, but put it in Desire because I think it's related to HTC Sense UI and/or the People app... In GMail, I've grouped my contacts into "Familie", "Venner" and some more; but on the Desire, there are additional groups named "Co-workers", "Family", "Friends", and "VIP". I...

Ok, so the Samsung Galaxy K4 firmware update includes a new virtual keyboard alternative, named "Samsung keyboard", in addition to the stardard "Android keyboard". :) (Sorry, I have yet to succeed in taking screen shots; I will post some if I find any.) What are your thoughts on this? There...

Hi, I know this is probably a dumb question, but I need to know for sure. If I do a "Factory Reset" on my Samsung Galaxy, will it (not only zap all apps and settings, which is what I'm after, but also) erase what's stored in "/sdcard" and/or "/sdcard/sd"? :confused: I know that "/sdcard" is...

In the spirit of the thread "My Hero Rocks!", let's hear why Galaxy users are (at least) just as happy! :D No negativity is welcome here! There are plenty threads for that. My Galaxy rocks because: It's delightfully slim! So much nicer to have in my pocket than my previous Palm Treo. It's...

Hum, I'm also wondering if the compass in my Galaxy is broken. Help me figure this out, please! The Compass application is frequently way out of alignment (>90

I contacted Seidio, who are known for high-capacity batteries for various smartphones, and asked them if they offered, or had any plans to offer, an extended battery for the Galaxy. Sadly, they said they didn't. :( If I find another source, I'll post here -- and I hope you will, too! :cool:

I'm not quite sure I should believe this :rolleyes:, but [B]my battery temperature sensor consistently reports something in the order of 1.7

As far as I understand, Android and the Galaxy touch screen is not meant to be calibrated; at least, there does not seem to be a user interface for doing so (this is also true of the tilt and compass sensors, and yet various apps include their own calibration methods.) The trouble is that I...

This is not specific to the Galaxy: I wonder if a phone that has a digital compass could be adversely affected by extended periods near a magnet -- such as a magnetic flap of a belt clip? :confused: I'd very much like to get a belt clip. Many have magnetic snaps, and I would hate to break a...

Hey, while discussing the Galaxy with a coworker today, he mentioned that OLED displays 'wear out'. That was the first I have heard of it, so I looked it up. From Wikipedia's OLED page:

I'm looking at the manual, the getting started guide, Google, reviews ... I can't figure out if --how-- it's possible to type international characters! The best search result is Matthew Stevens' [URL="http://techti.me/2009/03/androids-hidden-extended-keyboard-shortcuts/"]Android
