    Help Massive Thumbnail File Issue.

    I recently tried to figure out why so much of my phone storage seems to be taken up by what appears to be nothing whatsoever. To do this, I downloaded a storage analyser and discovered not one but two massive thumbnail files in my DCIM folder. After combing through some other forums I opted to...

    Help SD card mounting issues following latest Verizon Update.

    Not too long ago, my M9 received an OTA update from Verizon. Ever since, my phone waits to be unlocked following a reboot or power cycle to mount the SD card. This may seem minor, but I prefer to dedicate the internal storage to apps and core files and the external card to music, videos, etc...

    Root Bionic Battery Problems since 4.1 Update

    For as long as I can remember, I've been running custom ROMS on my Bionic, but I really wanted 4.1 and when I saw there was an OTA update out with it for the bionic and couldn't find any custom ROMS that weren't buggy, I went back to stock and installed the OTA Jelly Bean update. Ever since...

    Help Google Now on my Asus Infinity

    Alright, I know this is probably an EXTREMELY stupid question (especially coming from a person who roots Android devices constantly) but I have google now on my Asus TF700 running Android 4.2. Anyway, my Google Now will almost always show me the weather and the weather updates, but won't allow...

    Help Using Nexus on Sprint Prepaid

    A friend of mine has a Nexus S on Sprint and, for various reasons, they're terminating his family's service on Spring. He already owns the Nexus S and is considering using a Prepaid plan. I know Virgin Mobile and Boost both use Sprint's towers which means the phone's on those services can use...

    Root Can't find ICS to save my life!

    Ok so I've looked everywhere for a version of Android 4.0 (ICS) for my Bionic. I keep finding older versions, especially Alpha builds, but the information is really sketchy and I don't want to install it unless I can get more information. All the versions I find say the camera won't work but I'm...

    Rooting Incredible 2 (Ubuntu)

    Looking to root my friend's Incredible 2. I've ran into 2 snags. #1- All guides are for Windows and I run Ubuntu 10.10. I can get a Windows PC, but I'd prefer to avoid that kind of dull crisis. Still, thats not the main issue. #2 is, the programs I've found for it seem to require the Hboot to be...

    Tango won't register on bionic

    Basically ever since I got my bionic, tango has refused to register so I can't use it. I keep saving the info and receiving the conformation text, but it still says its not registered so I can't use it. Anyone else had this problem?

    Droid Bionic Battery Percentage in 1's

    Something I've noticed about motorola's android phones is that any and all battery watcher apps can only report the battery charge in the 10%'s. Compared to the HTC and Samsung phones that allow for reporting in the 1%s this is kinda annoying. I know its probably a sensor thing and theres...

    Root Maximum Overclock for Droid Bionic

    Pretty basic. I found the rooting instructions online and am about to root my phone. I already purchased set CPU for a previous device. Anyway does anybody know the maximum processor kernel available? I would think 1.5 to 1.7ghz would be childs play for this duel-core cpu. If anybody has any...

    Trouble rooting with Android SDK

    I have been having a lot of trouble rooting my Droid Charge using Android SDK. The problem being, it won't detect the phone. It always says it does not detect an Android phone and to click "details" for more, but details isn't clickable. I'm certain I could root it if I could get SKD working on...

    Make preformance on the Charge faster

    I know this is probably a given, but since I despise the Touchwiz with the fire and passion of a fire and passion ant, I've been using Launcherpro Plus as my default homescreen application for a variety of reasons. Anyway, while I love it, it preforms a little slow. Is there any settings to...

    Help Signal Randonly shuts off

    Pretty basic problem. My Droid Charge will randomly lose signal, indicating that it has 3G but no bars. This occurs with or without 4G turned on. The only way to fix it is through a reboot although it will sometimes fix itself. Has anybody else experienced this?

    Root Trouble using Android SDK to root

    So every site I've found on how to root requires me to use ABD (or ADB I forget) to root my Samsung Droid Charge. I have Android SDK running and so far it says that it failed to mount the Android device (the Charge). I have USB debugging enabled and everything should allow it to detect my phone...

    Rooting Samsung Charge ADB?

    So I've found several threads on how to root the Charge and all seem pretty simple. The problem I'm having is that all of them say to "push" the files onto your phone. When I looked into what that meant, I believe it was referring to a program called ADB or something. Heres the link to one of...

    Facebook Profile Pictures as Contact ID's

    So I traded in my HTC Thunderbolt for a Droid Charge because of its habit of rebooting and screwing up. One thing I loved about the Thunderbolt however is that it would pull in my friends Facebook profile pictures and use them as contact ID's. Is there a way to do the same with my Charge?

    1600MaH Battery in the Thunderbolt

    The only problem I've had so far with my Thunderbolt is the very soft battery life. Even with Juice Defender, its pretty bad. I was looking into the 1600MaH battery for it. The problem is, I want to buy the Otterbox for it when released and I doubt the case will fit if the battery adds to the...

    SPB Shell 3d On the Thunderbolt

    I just got an HTC Thunderbolt and I love this phone. Its an amazing step up from my Droid I even though it was rooted. I've recently been considering SPB Shell 3D as a home screen replacement. The thing is, I'm scared to invest $15 in the app, and have it laggy or slow. I mean the Thunderbolt...

    Use my computer as a modem for Droid

    I'm sure this is a stupid question, but I'm experimenting different ROMS and when I have to wipe data and cache to install them, I have to wait for all my apps to download again OTA. My dorm has poor signal and no WIFI. Is there anyway to use the wired connection on my laptop and share it with...

    Root Home Screen Mild Problem

    So I know that the original Motorola Droid isn't exactly packin in the RAM department. I'm currently running the latest Cyanogenmod for my phone (7.02), but this problem has existed on just about every ROM I use. I use Launcher Pro Plus instead of the stock Android home screen, but since I...

    Root No notification sound on Simply Stunning 5.01

    As I've said in my past posts, I love SS 5.1. It runs extremely fast, smooth and battery efficant. But today I noticed that, while it will ring for phone calls, I have no sound for text messages. I'm using Handcent SMS as my SMS app, but even when I tried the Android Message it still didn't...

    Root Some basic problems experienced with Simply Stunning 5.01

    I've been using custom roms for about 6 months now and I've really enjoyed both Simply Stunning by ChevyNo1 and Bugless Beast by Pete. I recently switched over to SS 5.01 and have been loving its features, but I've noticed that at random times, the home key will cease to function. I've googled...

    Root Phone won't install downloaded apps

    I've been running the latest version of bugless beast (v0.6 I believe) for close to a month now, however last night, for some reason my phone stopped allowing me to install apps. It would download them no problem, but when it gets to the install, it just runs non-stop. I thought Juice Defender...
