    Help Wi-fi turning on by itself

    My Galaxy S5 has recently started exhibiting an annoying behavior. Somewhere around 1:00 in the afternoon, the wi-fi turns on by itself. While I do use the Timeriffic app, there is no scheduled event that would turn wi-fi on at this time, My guess is that an app is turning it on, but I don't...

    [App help] Installed SWYPE - can't enter passcode now

    Help! I just installed "SWYPE + Dragon" (which I downloaded from Amazon Appstore) on my wife's unrooted phone. Now I can't unlock her phone. When the screen comes up to enter the PIN, there's no keyboard. Since I can't get into the phone, I can't change any settings to try to disable SWYPE...

    Help HTC doesn't give me Outlook as an option

    Just switched from an old Hero to the Evo 4G LTE. I have always synced my contacts and my calendar from Outlook to HTC using HTC Sync. When I try it with the Evo, HTC Sync doesn't give me the option to sync my calendar. It does give me the option to sync People, but the only option it gives me...

    Considering a Photon to replace HTC Hero

    Hey Mopho people! While I could probably find a lot of answers digging through the forums for a day, I thought I'd try the lazy approach and post a general question. I'm considering getting a Photon to replace my 2 year old HTC Hero. I rooted my Hero so I could do the occasional wireless...

    Hero Running out of Space

    So I'm constantly fighting with my Hero over space limitations. Looking for some thoughts on freeing up some space... It's rooted, but I've never flashed a new ROM, so it's still running the stock Sense 2.1. After a little work, I've gotten it back up to almost 14MB on the internal storage...

    What ROM should I use?

    I'm currently on 2.1 (not rooted). Am considering finally rooting so that I can do wi-fi tether on a tablet. I'm looking for advice on what ROM to use? A few considerations: 1) I currently use HTC Sync to sync calendar and contacts with Outlook at work. I want to make sure I can still do...

    Should I root or just get Sprint to update me to 2.1

    Looking for advice. I've been considering rooting for a while (since before Sprint officially released 2.1). I've also considered just going to Sprint to get them update my phone. Not sure which approach makes more sense for me. A few factors: - Battery life on my unit is not too good...

    Should I let Sprint flash my Hero to 2.1?

    I went in to the Sprint store because my headphone jack stopped working. Their first potential solution was to upgrade me to 2.1 (thinking it's a software problem not a hardware problem). I'm not sure that I believe them, but that's neither here nor there. I have been planning on rooting...

    Need to Use Google Voice on Wi-Fi Only

    I was hoping to do a setup with Google Voice/Guava/Gizmo5 to let me use Google Voice on a wi-fi network (I'll be out of the country with no cell coverage). I didn't realize that Gizmo5 is closed to new users. Can anyone suggest a reasonable alternative? I'm on an HTC Hero for Sprint...

    Speed dial #2

    Is there any way to change Speed Dial # 2 to not be Sprint Customer Service. It's kind of presumptuous of them to assume that I want to call them frequently o that I'm too stupid to press *2. Also, is there any way to have multiple speed dials for one contact (e.g., one for home and one for...

    Is it really just a mini-USB?

    When I look at the power cord and sync cord that came with my Hero, they have an odd shape that makes me think they are cords that may be unique to HTC. However, I accidentally plugged it in to the computer with just a standard mini-USB cable (works on my Blackberry, ZEN and Sansa MP3 players...
