Hey everyone, so I'm up to my digital eyeballs in browser tabs researching this problem and I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask the community at this point. I am a complete noob and don't know proper terms so excuse me while I explain the best I can. Phone & Carrier: Hydro Vibe, Virgin Mobile...

I found out how to reboot this in safe mode. Is there any way to exploit this for root?

Lets work together and find a rooting solution!

Hello, a lot of the posts in this sub-forum seem quite old, so I am posting to see if there has been any progress in a working safe root for people with Android 4.4.2 and the Kyocera Hydro Vibe (my carrier is Sprint.) The only reason why I want to root is wifi-tethering. As it is now, I use...

I have us cellular donor that I want to use with this virgin mobile hydro vibe. I can change spc/msl and prl. But can not change what I really need to. Tried DFS; CDMAWS (which gives me range check error); and QPST. Another way to ask would be: has anyone unlocked the nvm folder on this phone...

Ok, this phone has an encrypted bootloader, cannot load or flash backup roms. I'm at the point where I'm debloating my phone and removed downloadprovider.apk. This is needed to load apps from Google Play. Any methods to reload this app? No apparent backup with Titanium. I am lead to believe...

this is how to disable bloat that is previously immune to the disable button. (must be running KitKat). google rootjunkie bloatware remover, and download this program. install it, and connect your device, with USB debugging enabled, and it will give you a warning. you should be able to figure...

This might be a possible way to remove bloatware without root. I found it at this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2058944 If someone is willing to test it, that would be great. thanks!

Does any one know how to get the MSL code on a kyocera hydro vibe without having to root your phone?

I bought A Kyocera Hydro Vibe of eBay the phone has bad esn, so I tought if i bought i could use it on WiFi, when I got it delivered to my house I performed a factory reset to erase the previous owner information, After that I tried connecting it to WiFi but every time I connect it shows that is...

Hey guys! So I bought this new phone hoping to customize it with all sorts of stuff like custom ROMs, kernels and recoveries, but as most of you might already know none of this can be done :( (For now, hopefully), anyways, one observation I made was that the battery life is sorta short :/ but if...

I found out yesterday that Virgin Mobile had cancelled their $15/month mobile hotspot plan which I've been using for months. I use the phone for data only as a mobile hotspot for my laptop. The $15 monthly fee added 1GB high speed to my $35 / 2.5GB plan which was a good deal, I think. Now I'm...

Hey, I'm a new Android user, and still trying to figure out all the quirks of my Hydro Vibe. When I first got the phone, the audio/video I took with the native camera app worked great. All of a sudden one day, I took a video and during playback, I noticed the audio was not in sync with the...

Hello All I'm on my second vibe now, the first returned for abysmal battery performance and very weak cell reception. The first also had the update 4.4 on it by recommendation of a VM representative. which I'm glad I did that. It gave me a little better insight trouble shooting the 2 problems...

Quick bit of advice. The following games have issues with the Hydro Vibe. Let's Golf 3 - Freeze on the start screen Amazing Spider-Man - Buttons are not as responsive and the touch areas are away from the actual icon. I will update this thread if I come across more problems

Just wanted to share something I discovered... When you disable the Lumen Toolbar (useless, intrusive, battery hogging junk), it enables itself every time you reboot. I don't use the stock browser, so it took me awhile to realize it kept turning back on. So now, after reboot I go straight to...

Hi, All Is there anyway to change the lock screen weather app? I prefer fancy widgets weather app & would like it to show on the lock screen instead of the preinstalled weather app.

pcmagzine had a review said "It also supports 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi on the 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, and had no trouble connecting to our test network in the PC Labs." Is it wrong info or I have to do something to turn 5GHz support on?

I am considering purchasing this to replace my LG F3 (Virign Mobile) 1 - is the FIRMWARE UPDATE that came out in July for Virgin Mobile Kyocera Hydro Vibe phones? 2 - I have read that the camera and video quality is poor. I have also read that the Firmware update solves this. Any opinions on...

Word on the street is this phone is going on sale at Target on black Friday for $30! No joke, look it up online. Hope this catches the eyes of someone who can unlock this caged animal!

Has anyone used Windows 8.1 to do their rooting? I tried to download the utilities to root my Kyocera Hydra Vibe but the drivers for the USB would not load or install. I'm curious is anyone else has had this problem. I don't have another machine to do the rooting with. Thanks, Jim :mad:
