    Root [Verizon] 4.4.4 update to vzw Which ROM (non-AOSP)

    Frankly, I've just not been as happy with HD8 on 4.4.2, not as much as with HD7. Maybe its the ROM maybe its 4.4.2, I dunno. (far to many drops to 3G. I notice app's just dying or system services restarting from time to time. Never saw that before) I suspect the Note3 VzW crowd will get...

    Root [Verizon] Dropping to 3G more often a coincidence

    I feel that i should know this answer myself as I work for a company that along with Ericsson provide the LTE infrastructure for BigRed. I know they are always doing network upgrades, but I dont think the issues I've been seeing is a result of network congestion. Since I went from 4.3 (HD7)...

    I'm using HD7. I've been getting an automatic download of a "security_update.apk" No sure from where or why. I did receive an email from a friend with a link, and part of me thinks that it now might have been some spam and the link I clicked on resulted in some type of download...

    Desk Charger / Cradle

    So while we are all waiting, thought I would ask a question for those with the N2. I believe the N2 battery charge served also as a desktop cradle to hold the phone up? true/false? I saw a N3 unboxing in Korea, the S3 did not have that. I have grown fond of the desktop cradle that came with...
