    Help Wifi calling enabled, but not working at all

    I'm using a ZTE ZMAX Pro on MetroPCS, and on top of other issues, the wifi calling is being a pain. The phone shows that it's enabled just fine, but when I try to send a text, it immediately tells me it failed. Calls don't even go through. I've tried several reboots, and obviously nothing came...

    Help Major issue with formatting SD card

    I got a new phone today (ZTE ZMAX Pro running Android 6.0) and I took the SD card from my old phone and put it in my new one. I formatted it, unmounted it, and removed it properly. Whenever I try to format it as internal on my new phone, it sticks on 20% and comes up with the following error...

    This phone is a piece of garbage.

    I've had this phone for two months, and it's given me more problems than any phone I ever had for over a year. So I can't take pictures that save to the gallery. Neat. When I try to take a video, the camera just closes. Awesome. I have to restart it twice a day because it lags out running...

    Help Mobile data won't turn on!

    So, the backstory: I have a rooted HTC Desire 816. I did a factory reset from recovery, and now not only do I have no mobile data, I can't turn it on whatsoever. I don't even know where to begin with this one.

    Help Insufficient space to update anything when I DO have space

    I can't update anything at all on my phone. Nothing. I've tried every method I know of - moving apps to the SD card, uninstalling Play Store updates, cleaning out the cache with App Cache Cleaner, CleanMaster, Link2SD (although admittedly I don't know much about it). Even after freeing up all...

    Root Problem disabling system write protection

    I recently rooted my HTC Desire 816, and the last step was to install something called wp_mod.ko. Apparently this is what makes it possible to actually uninstall crapware on your phone. I would love to disable the write protection because the reason I rooted my phone in the first place is to get...

    Help Photos can't be viewed anywhere, new SD card

    So, I got a new 64GB microSD for my phone. At first it was great, but now it's hell. I can play videos I've put on there just fine, but every single photo I take ends up with that triangle/exclamation point logo and won't open. When I transfer it to Google Drive or ANYWHERE ELSE, it gives me an...

    Help SetCPU help for a noob

    I really want to learn more about Androids in general so I don't have to keep begging for help when it comes to stuff like this. Anyway, I just downloaded SetCPU for my S3 and I want to set some profiles to save battery. The trouble here is, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff. Therefore...

    Root [MetroPCS/GSM] Roms for GSM Galaxy S3

    I just read that there are no roms available for the GSM S3. Does that mean that there are none SPECIFICALLY made for it, or none are compatible at all? I'd really like to get Cyanogen on my phone.

    Help MetroPCS S3 updates?

    I have a Galaxy S3 from MetroPCS, and I just realized I don't even have version 4.2 - I still have 4.1.2. Now I'm hearing about this 4.3 update, and apparently it started rolling out a week ago. Does Metro just never get any updates? I've tried pushing "check for updates" and it just tells me my...

    Root Help with unrooting my phone

    I've been trying to find a way to unroot my phone, but nothing seems too helpful. I downloaded one .zip to my phone, but one of the steps is to go to settings>about phone>system updates, but the "system updates" option isn't even on the list. Also, I tried wiping my phone to factory, but that...

    Root How can I re-install Gingerbread and get rid of this recovery?

    I wiped my phone clean to get rid of PlayfulGod's custom recovery because it was screwing with my SMS. I can't seem to find a link to download Gingerbread 2.3 to my SD card and install it on my phone. Can anyone give me a link? Edit: I don't want to use exitrecovery to get out of the boot loop...

    Help Error: Cannot Connect to Camera

    I have no idea how this happened, so all I can say is that every time I try to use the camera on my phone or via QR scanning, it gives me a simple dialog box saying "Error: Cannot connect to camera." I've seen a few threads around the Web about this, albeit on different phones. I haven't...
