    Help Wifi turning itself on

    I'm at my wits end with this thing. I've done plenty of work with Android and dozens of devices with rooting, roms, custom builds, ect.... I know my way around an Android device. I cannot make the wifi stay off on this G2 D800 (AT&T). I have no interest in rooting... I flip my phones when I...

    Root A note about the update and root

    Just wanted to put up a note about the new update. I was rooted but the only file I had changed was the boot sound by adding .bak to it. I was able to successfully take the update just by changing back the boot sound to the proper name. It looses root but that is easy enough to put back on...

    Help A few questions on the Arc S

    Picked up an Arc S LT18a pretty cheap locally because it wouldn't work, turned out to just be a bad battery. Got it turned on and updated to 4.0, all went well. It looks like it is from an Arabic region judging by the language that comes up by default. The issue is that some of the...

    EVO V is $150 from Virginmobile.com till 11/26

    Most web pages aren't loading

    I am at my wits end with this.... I was running a stock rooted setup. The only thing I have done is used tethering and I keep the usage down (under 30mb of data usage). Today my phone is acting like it is having trouble connecting to anything. Some apps (like speed test) and some web pages...
