    How to get Bixby to recognize loss of Bluetooth connection

    I have a Bixby routine that turns on the Android Auto app whenever my phone hooks up to my car's Bluetooth. That works great. But I want Bixby to turn off Android Auto when the connection is broken (i.e. when I get out of the car). I can't find a way to use loss-of-Bluetooth-connection as an...

    Help HDMI cable?

    Has anyone found an HDMI cable that will allow me to hook my S3 display to my big screen TV? I bought one from NewEgg, but it didn't work...the seller eventually decided it was only for the S2.

    Root [Verizon] Now that I'm rooted...

    Now that I'm rooted, is there an easy way to get rid of the annoying Verizon start up and shut down music? Perhaps some files I can delete with Root Explorer or something equally simple?

    Help Can't stay connected to VPN network.

    I use a VPN service for privacy reasons. I've set it up on my S3, and can easily connect to it...but whenever my phone auto-switches between wi-fi and 4G, it disconnects the VPN. Does anyone know of a way to keep the VPN connection active?

    Help How the heck do you transfer files?

    When I hooked my Samsung Fascinate to my Windows 7 computer, the SD card immediately appeared just like any flash drive in My Computer, allowing to easily transfer files back and forth between computer and phone. With the S3, it doesn't work...can't access the internal 16 GB at all. Just got off...

    Root What's the latest ROM to use?

    I've flashed my phone twice, but despite that I'm still a hopeless noob, so I'm begging for guidance here. I rooted my Fascinate and flashed Community Rom 2.1 last summer, then wiped it and switched to Powerwashed 20 beta 3 in October. Since then the phone has been slower than with Community...

    Free text messaging?

    Is there a way to send/receive text messages on my Fascinate using my own cell phone number, without getting charged by Verizon? I want other people to be able to initiate text conversations with me, without me having to give them a different phone number or app.

    Root Ed05?

    I recently read something about ED05 fixing "the missed call issue". Not infrequently my wife (also with a rooted Fascinate) and I will call each other, but the call never shows up on the other's phone...not even as a missed call. Is that what ED05 fixes? If so, exactly what do I have to do to...

    Help Clicking phone numbers

    When I click on a phone number in an app (like Groupon), instead of going to the dialer, it goes to text messaging (I think I may have selected that option accidentally once). How can I get it to go back to putting the number in the dialer so I can call it instead of message it?

    Help ADW Launcher EX icon labels

    For many of the desktop icons using ADW Launcher EX 1.3.3, I don't need accompanying labels. I tried getting rid of them by long-tapping the icons, selecting "edit", and erasing that field. Works initially, but the next time I boot the phone, the labels reappear. Am I doing something wrong? Is...

    Is there a way to turn off the audible notification that the battery is fully charged in Community Rom 2.1?

    Root Thanks to Nunyazz & Greenmunky.

    I've now fallen in love with my Fascinate all over again. Running Superclean 2.9 I kept getting random app crashes, phone resets, freezing, and all sorts of problems. I finally gave in and wiped the phone, and installed Community Rom 2.1, and now my Fascinate is working near perfection. No...

    Root Lost Voltage Control with CR 2.0 -> 2.1 patch.

    After installing the UKB_2.1_patch_nokernel.zip patch on top of a fresh install of Community Rom 2.0 (UKB_2_pbj50_fixed.zip), the Voltage Control app no longer works correctly. It pops up the message "Unsupported kernal detected. The kernal your device is running is incompatible with Voltage...

    Root Trouble with Community Rom 1.3 on wife's Fascinate.

    I recently put community_rom_1.3_test2.zip on my phone, and it's been working great. Wife wants the same thing on her stock 2.2 phone. I used SuperOneClickv1.6.5-ShortFuse to root her phone. Then did a Titanium backup. Tried to do a Nandroid backup, but kept getting an error message. I then...

    Root Does installing Clockwork root the phone.

    If I take a stock Verizon Fascinate and use Odin3 to install CWM3 on it, does that mean the phone is rooted? This is my wife's phone, and I'll pay dearly if I muck it up. Before installing a community rom on it, I wanted to use Titanium backup to save all her stuff, but then discovered the...
