    Using AT&T Note 3 on T-Mobile?

    I saw a Note 3 on Craigslistfor AT&T, and my question is, would I be able to unlock this phone in order to use it on T-Mobile? I would like to go on the $30/month plan. In my area, T-Mobile hasn't refarmed the 1700mhz spectrum so does that mean I won't get HSPA+? Thanks

    Root Play Services Not Working

    I just got Clash of Clans for my phone, which is running Mobster ROM. I wanted to link the game to my iPod, on which I've been playing on for months. However, I have to use Google Play Services which aren't working. They work on my sister's unrooted Evo. Anything I can do?

    Root Lockscreen Text

    I had finally decided to put a lock on my phone the other day, but I noticed that despite having changed the caption for the normal lock screen to "Sprint" via Leedroid tweaks, the text that came up on the pattern lock screen was still Virgin Mobile. Is there a way I could change this to say...

    LTE on $30 Plan

    Right now I am on Virgin Mobile with an Evo V, but I would really like to switch to T-Mobile on its $30 per month prepaid plan with 100 minutes and 5 GB of data. Does anyone know if this plan allows T-Mobile's new LTE when it becomes live? I would be getting an unlocked Nexus 5 or whatever the...

    Root Build.prop Edit Now Camera Not Working

    Today I wanted to get Facebook Home and I've been wanting to get Real Racing 3, both of which are incompatible with our phone, so I decided to change the build.prop of my phone to a Note 2. I made changes to the ro.product.: brand, device, model, and name. Now, in the play store it shows up as...

    Easy Way to Clean Speaker Grille

    Today I decided to thoroughly clean my phone. I took off the screen protector and case, cleaned the screen and the back cover, and used a Sharpie to cover some chips the paint had. However, I have a small white speck stuck in one of the holes in the front speaker! I tried to blow it out...

    $30 Plan Gone!?!?!?!?

    I saw that T-Mobile has gone to no contract plans, but there's no sign of the $30 per month plan with 5GB data! Am I missing something, like where to find it on the site? I was planning to switch to that plan when the new Nexus came out so I could get a year on my VM Evo V.

    Root Phone stuck on boot animation

    My phone was out of power so it automatically turned off, and after that, I turned it back on and it told me it had 0% battery so it automatically started to turn off. It was taking too long, so I just pulled the battery. Now, it gets stuck on the boot animation every time I try to turn it on...

    Root How to make games compatible

    I was really excited when I was browsing the App Store on my iPod and saw Real Racing 3, so I went to my Evo to get it. However, it says it's not compatible with out devices! I remember reading that you have to do something to the build prop to turn it into a different device or something...

    Sprint vs. T-Mobile in CT?

    Does anyone have experience with T-Mobile in central Connecticut or Connecticut in general? I'd like to find out some 4G speeds for them, as I currently have the Evo V on Virgin Mobile and wimax sucks. I plan on upgrading soon to the Nexus 4 on the T-Mobile $30 plan with 5gb of data.

    Root Easy Way to Flash Roms Without Data Loss?

    Is there a way to Flash roms without having to download every app again and again? I'm using TWRP 2.4.xx and have yet to find a way to flash a new rom while keeping all of my apps. Is that possible with TWRP? I don't want to use 4ext because I really like my recovery.

    Root 500 MB Android Backgroud Data?

    I just noticed that about half of my data this month went to background data used by the Android OS. Of my 1.05 GB I've used this month, 527 MB of that went to background data for the Android OS! I'm on Mobster Rom HD, so is it possible that one of the apps is showing up as part of the Android...

    Root USB OTG With HDMI

    Is it possible to use USB on the go at the same time while using MHL to HDMI? I ordered both cables from Amazon for a total of less than $10, but I just started to think that I can't use both at one time. I'm on Mobster Rom HD with the Buttered Toast Kernel.

    Root Jelly Bean Roms Lag

    It seems that every Jelly Bean rom I try, the 2D and especially 3D graphics are not on par with the stock rom or other ICS roms like Mobster HD. Is there some setting to change in order to make the V 4G more compatible with Jelly Bean roms? They are extremely smooth, but when it comes to...

    Root Mobster Rom All Apps Force Closing

    I decided to have fun with my phone a little today and decided to flash Wild Card Rom. After deciding to go back, I reflashed over my previous rom, which was Mobster HD. Now, I've been having a ridiculous amount of apps force closing. Whenever I try to open up the messaging or contacts app...

    Battery Jumps after Reboot

    After rebooting my Evo, the battery always seems to jump down a large amount. If it's at 70%, a reboot will bring it down to about 40%. This only started to happen after I rooted. I'm on Mobster Rom HD with the Buttered Toast kernel. Is there a reason it's doing this? I fully drained my...

    How to Copy Game Data

    My sister had to restore her Evo V and now she lost her gaming data. Since I have the same phone and essentially the same games, is there a way I can copy data to her phone? The most important games are basically Subway Surfers and Temple Run 1/2. I have all of the games moved to the SD card...

    Root Midway Through S Off

    Right now I was just doing the S Off tutorial, but now after doing the wire trick, it's telling me to "open device manager and check adb and/or fastboot drivers!!" I think I forgot to put in the drivers and saw that you need windows 7 (I'm on Vista right now). Is it okay to just unplug my...

    Root Is OTA Compatible?

    I just rooted my Evo V a few hours ago, and I realized that my software version was still 1.13.xx. I am using the stock rom by JMZ (Thanks btw!), and I checked for a software update and I have the 14.65 mb one that was supposed to fix the texting issue. Can I download this? If not, is there...

    Root Best Tethering App?

    I just rooted my phone today, and basically the only reason for now was to get a wifi tethering app. I went ahead and installed "Wifi Tether for Root Users." It does not seem to be working, even when I click the routing fix. How can I fix this? I tried a few different apps but they seemed to...

    Help Multitouch Issues

    I've been having a weird multitouch problem lately. I used a tester which told me that the Evo V has four multitouch points, but often, it gets messed up with two or more touches. When playing games, the second touch seems to get inputted, and it starts acting randomly. As odd as this is, it...

    Slow Phone!

    So basically, my Evo is very slow. Games do not work as well as they used to three months ago when I bought it. It's not rooted, nor was it ever. I have all of the updates under phone updates, and my sister's Evo V is much faster. How do I fix this? Thanks guys
