    Help Battery Drain

    I have recently been having a battery drain issue. It looks like the culprit might be Android OS itself. When I look in battery usage, it's at the top, along with google play services. The Android os is showing "keep awake 4h 19m". This seems to be awfully excessive. My device is basically...

Battery Stats is showing Google Services at 88%, Screen at 6%, Android OS, Elixir, Cell Standby, and Device Idle all at 2%. Anyone have...

    Help contacts won't load after 4.1.2 update

    My contacts will not load after I accepted the 4.1.2 update. I'm not rooted. I do use nova launcher prime. I have not noticed any other issues so far besides "updating contacts list" showing on my contacts screen all afternoon. I've tried powering off three times and pulled the battery once. So...

    Help quirky issue

    Ok, so I've had the S3 for a week. I am now noticing that when I either miss a call or a caller hangs up on their end, my pandora is launching and playing really loudly. This is a problem because it is happening when I'm in a meeting and the phone is silenced. It doesn't ring, but when the...

    Help odd launcher issue

    So I just got my S3 yesterday. I've decided to run Nova Launcher and I'm running into a slightly odd occurrence. It's happened when backing out of several apps but most notably it happens every time with gmail. If I back out of the gmail app, instead of hitting the home key, it will back into...

    Help Camera not saving pictures

    My wife's stratosphere has decided to stop saving pictures. I can not find any reason for this or option that will allow me to choose the path for saving pictures. I've searched all over the web but don't seem to see anyone else with this issue. Anybody got any help?

    Root What ROM do you recommend over Apex??

    I've been on Apex for quite a while now and I want to try something else. My X has been seeming to run slower and slower lately and I'm bored. Just want to know what everyone else likes besides apex. Also, what's the deal with the 2nd init roms? I haven't really followed any of that at all...

    Root facebook message notification

    Ok, so I'm on Apex 2.0 RC3 for .602 and it's great. Big improvement over the last rc. There are a couple bugs I've seen, but I'm not sure if this is an Apex bug, GB bug or facebook bug. I keep getting a notification that I have 1 new fb message, but I select it and nothing happens. Then I go...

    Root reminder please?

    I want to go back to my stock GB and keep root. Should I just flash my last backup before I loaded Apex 2.0 RC2? Or, do I need to do something else? I feel like I've gone braindead here, but I don't feel like bricking my phone.

    I'm posting here b/c I'm on the rooted GB running Apex 2.0 RC2. Since Fab didn't install the swype .apks in Apex 2.0 I downloaded and installed the swype beta version. It was working like a charm until a few days ago it stopped recording swyped words and on the first time I got an popup...

    Root is the 3 part patch still the best way to GB

    So I decided to take the weekend off of dealing with GB, and while I did my market started working fine. However, I still can't bootstrap into recovery, or even restart the phone after I power it off. In both cases I'm getting the red m then a blank screen, screen is on but nothing there. I...
