    Help Ads in notification area

    Hi, I installed some application along the way that is putting advertising in my notification area. Also on occasion a new app icon will show up on one of my pages. Is there any way I can figure out what app is doing it instead of just randomly uninstalling apps to see if it goes away? TIA

    Case question

    I know there is a case thread here but I have to admit I'm lazy and don't want to read the entire thread. Has anyone found a TPU style case that has a screen cover? I don't like the loose fit or bulk of the "leather" cases, but I do want a screen cover. I like the turn on and off ability of...

    FoxFi with Verizon?

    Has anyone used FoxFi long term on Verizon? Just wondering if it manages to "fly under the radar" of the Verizon folks. I want to avoid any possible nasty "surprises" from using it! Thanks!

    Root Rooting, warranty, and restoring

    Hi all! Just wondering if one can restore from root in a way that it is undetectable and therefore if it was returned, no warranty issues. If the answer is yes, can the restore be accomplished if for instance, the screen was dead? Trying to decide if I want to root immediately when I get...

    Anyone heard of / used an AGPTek tablet?

    THere is a great deal on a 4GB model on Buy.com but I don't want to get something that others won't be hacking around with also. Basically I want to make sure that I'll be able to get custom ROMs moving forward. I'm nervous because there are no threads under the MIDs section for any AGPTek...

    Help ANT+ support in ICS?

    Does anyone know of plans to implement ANT+ support in Ice Cream Sandwich? I want to be able to use a heart rate monitor with my Gnex. I tried a Bluetooth one and it sucked!

    Help Help! Can't remove PIN

    Hi all, In an attempt to get my corporate e-mail to work with my phone I installed a certificate on the phone. ICS then forced me to enter a PIN to unlock the phone. Well, the certificate did not fix my e-mail problem and now I can't remove the PIN. I can only select Pattern, PIN or...

    Help Exchange Synchronization

    Hi, I'm doubtful that anyone will have a solution to this, but I'm giving it a shot anyway. I had my phone syncing my work e-mail perfectly. Then my IT department moved me to a new Exchange server (upgrated from 2003 to 2010, Might not hae the versions right) and I pointed my phone at the...

    [Verizon] MyBackup - is it "all that"

    Anyone have any experience with MyBackup? I want to unlock my boot loader and root but made the critical mistake of not reading up to see that unlocking the boot loader wipes all data and spent a lot of time customizing my phone. I already purchased Titanium so I want to stay with it, but...

    Regretting my choice?!?!?

    So I had an HTC Thunderbolt that I very much liked. Well, I cracked the digitizer AND soft bricked it with a ROM upgrade. My wife told me to go get a new phone, so I went for the newest shiny toy. Well (many might call me a looser for this) I am missing the sense launcher & widgets from HTC...

    Root So long & thanks for all the fish

    Thanks to everyone on here that has helped me out! I've jumped ship for the GNex. It's kind of funny, I cracked my digitizer back in July but it continued to work, so no big deal. Well it's slowly been loosing functionality (getting dead spots) so I ordered a digitizer to do the fix myself...

    Root [1st Gen] ROMs?

    Anyone working on an ICS ROM for the Fire? Or just a vanilla GB ROM? Well I guess I should first ask if it's even possible to flash a ROM with the way it is locked down. :D

    I'm a n00b looking at rooting and flashing a custom ROM. I've been reading up on things here and wanted to validate the steps I think need to be performed in order to root and flash a custom ROM. 1. Use Revolutionary to get S-OFF (This installs a custom recovery?) 2. Install the superuser...

    Help Return of random reboots!

    Well, I have had the GB OTA for quite a while now and just the other day I started getting random reboots! :mad: Since I have had the OTA for quite some time, I do not believe it is related to that. I have updated a few other apps in the meantime and would love to find the culprit and...

    Sharing internet connection through BT

    Does anyone know if you can share the TB internet connection over Buuetooth? If yes how? Also does it count as "tethering?" I have a vehicle (a rental for business) with the Microsoft Sync technology built in & want to let it use the internet from my TB.

    Looking at rooting and trying out new ROMs and I have a couple of questions. I read the terminology page and watched the video on how to root using Revolutionary. Very cool that it can be done without wiping the phone. This leads me to one of my questions, can I then load a new ROM and not...

    I can't see any of the default ringtones from my TB. I do have Zedge loaded and I can only see the ones that I downloaded in Zedge. I checked the Zedge FAQ and it says to reset the default ringtone chooser. However when I go into manage applications the "clear defaults" button is grayed out...
