    Avitars look terrible with Xenforo

    Hey all, just jumping back into the forums a bit lately as my S6 is on the way and getting pretty excited about it. Anyway, I wasn't terribly involved when the site shifted to Xenforo, but now looking at my avi (and a lot of others), it just looks like garbage when compared to the old site even...

    Android Wear alphabetized

    The device forums seem to be haphazardly ordered. Any chance they could be alphabetized? Also some of them aren't running Android Wear, so perhaps either have a subforum or rename the forum altogether (Android Wearables?). :)

    Now in Google Play as "Coming Soon"

    Sony's SmartWatch 3 lands in Google Play as 'coming soon' for $249 | Android Central Personally, as having a stand along GPS, this is huge. I just bought a Garmin GPS watch for running, and while it's more than half the cost of the SSW3, it still makes me interested. Should run at $250...

    Android Wear devices missing from "Favorite Forum"

    Was looking to add the Moto 360 forum to my Favorites and found none of the Wear device forums were listed there. There could be other device forums missing as well, but just noticed these. Any chance we could add them? :)

    Help Ambient light sensor, On or Off?

    Seems to be a very hot topic, and while I don't have a 360, I'm curious to hear others' use cases. Do you leave yours on or off? Are you finding a positive or negative effect on battery life? Some quick reading: Moto 360: To Ambient Screen Mode or Not to Ambient Screen Mode? | Droid Life

    Root [Verizon] [Solved] Error flashing anything

    So I finally got my old S3 to a usable state so I thought, why not give a KK ROM a try? :) Well, I've tried flashing two ROMs thus far (Slim Kat and CM11 nightly) and both have given me errors (I believe the same): Is something in my SD card corrupted? Does the S3 need some sort of...

    Application forum for Android Wear

    Right now we just have a general Android Wear forum with device specific forums. Some Devs are incoming with new apps for Wear, and application discussion would fit there as well. Perhaps a way of having an App Announcement subforum for Wear, or an Application subforum? Just a way to further...

    Root [Verizon] Can't boot into download mode? Check this!

    Out of complete frustration to boot my G2 into download mode in order to flash a factory image, I discovered an easy fix. :) For whatever reason (flashing ROMs, TWRP recovery etc.), every time I followed instructions to boot into download mode, it would immediately go into fastboot thus...

    Are you salty or sweet?

    So what's it gonna be? Do you prefer salty foods or sweet foods? Can be a generality or which way you swing when snacking. Would you prefer a nice sweet cake or ice-cream to end a meal or a savory cheese plate? In my pantry, I have about 5 different kinds of salt and 1 kind of sugar, so you...

    Root A Warning to Fellow Flashers - Screen Damage

    The ROM kind, not the clothing kind! :p Get ya heads out of the gutter! Anyway, I had flashed C-ROM a week or so ago and have been digging it. It's been getting a little unstable lately (weird reboots, battery meter being off, etc). Now, I was having issues with my wireless charger and in the...

    Photobucket problems

    I've had this weird problem for a while now. Whenever I upload something from the mobile app, Photobucket re-uploads two particular pictures I've taken with my phone resulting with tons of dupes when I look at my library online. I end up force stopping the app while it's trying to "backup"...

    Root [Verizon] Has anyone tried any 4.4.3 based ROMs?

    I see there's a few on XDA, none of which I've tried in the past. All look pretty CM based with a few changes. Also it appears you need to flash a baseband prior to the ROM as it's changed? Haven't flashed a ROM in a long time and looking for something new but certainly don't want to bork...

    Have you gotten 4.4.3 yet?

    According to some sources, it should be released any day now. I have the US GSM variant and so far, no update. If anyone has gotten it, let us know (and which version you have) as well as any noticeable changes. :) Changelogs I've seen so far say it's a minor, bug fixing update; and since...

    Root [Verizon] Can't boot or into recovery.

    So, decided to resurrect my S3 for media play and wiped it as it was my wife's phone. In TWRP I did the basic comprehensive wipe and then a secondary one with /system and /cache, just to be thorough. Whelp, that's where I think I went wrong. I've wiped /system in the past, but only when a dev...

    Root [Verizon] Where is my storage?

    I'm really scratching my head over this. See the following pics: Why is it telling me I only have 4.56Gb available when there's only 3.25Gb used? :confused: On another note (and my only lead), is I believe Nandroid backups are taking up all the space, but I can't find them on my phone...

    Allergy sufferers

    So after finally getting to the doctor, she has said I'm essentially allergic to my apartment! :eek: She prescribed just a couple things (nasal spray, inhaler), but more importantly said I need to overhaul our bedroom: changing sheets, getting hypoallergenic covers, air purifier. Anyway...

    Favorite Super Bowl Commercial

    So which one was it? Can't say I was overly impressed this year but some were decent. Have to say Audi's was my favorite with the dog. :) You can see most if not all here or on Hulu: Super Bowl Commercials 2014: Watch Ads Aired During Broncos, Seahawks Matchup (UPDATING)

    Anyone used Eco ATM?

    Just heard about this on Cnet and got me interested. I do have some devices I could likely part with and this seems easy enough. There's one in our area as well. Curious if anyone has used it and what they consider to be a fair trade in value they've gotten. http://www.ecoatm.com/
