    Root [Verizon] Any SG4 owners that had the muting issue on GNex?

    I formerly had the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon and loved it except for the unexplained, recurring problem of call muting where I could hear the caller but they could not hear me. After several resets and replacement phones, I finally threw in the towel and swapped for a Rezound. It wasn't what I...

    Root Paranoia S-OFF Question

    S-OFF is fantastic and I'm glad I did it. I am 99.99% certain I will never need VZW to handle my Rezound so technically I don't care whether the phone indicates "locked", "unlocked" or even "tampered" in the fastboot menu. However, following the S-OFF procedure, it now displays "JuopunutBear"...

    Root S-OFF: worth flashing custom recovery?

    Now that I'm S-OFF, I'm wondering it would be worth installing a permanent custom recovery? When S-ON, I bought into scotty's temp recovery scenario, but now that I can flash ROMs/kernels from the phone itself it seems like a permanent recovery might be the way to go. Is that true, or does...

    Root Custom ROM to Global RUU?

    I am currently S-ON running a custom ICS ROM and would like to get to the Global stock software. I've looked through the threads here, but the ones that deal with upgrading to Global seem to be geared toward either S-OFF phones, phones on stock software already, or phones that want global...

    Root Custom ROM Compatibility List

    I don't flash new ROMs as often as I used to when I owned the OG Droid, and I find the rooting options for the Rezound to be a bit confusing with all the unique options (S-ON vs S-OFF; ICS vs ICS Global; Sense 3.6 vs Sense 4.0). Amidst figuring out whether any particular ROM will work with my...

    Need "scribble" app recommendation

    Is there an Android app that allows you to write (scribble rather than type) and have it capture the results for viewing later? I tried one app that let you write with your fingertip but it "captured" each time you picked up your finger and saved everything to a grid, one "doodle" beside...

    Root Weblinks only open in browser?

    I responded to a post on XDA about this issue, but I was hoping one of the friendlier AF members would be of help too. I am running CleanROM Professional 4.4. In the settings, there is a section for "App associations" which has a section for web URLs and it only offers browser apps. This means...

    What's the REAL deal with 4G on this device?

    NOTE: I searched for previous threads but none I found in recent history dealt specifically with the signal strength as it relates to 4G download speeds. I love this phone aside from the "mic dropping on calls" issue. I have been reluctant to give it up despite that one issue. But a friend...

    Help How do I force Nexus to refresh its IP address?

    So I have been having problems with my Android keeping a connection on my home wifi. Tonight I updated the router firmware, assigned static IP addresses to all devices in my house, and rebooted all devices including router. Laptops, printer, and A/V equipment all rebooted and properly picked...

    Root Unlocked Bootloader vs S-OFF

    Could someone briefly explain to me (or point me to the correct thread) what the difference is between an unlocked bootloader and S-OFF? I keep seeing references to the HTCDev site allowing the Rezound to be unlocked but not removing S-OFF. On the surface, it seems like once the phone's...

    [Verizon] Rooted Nexus vs Rooted Rezound?

    With the recent news about official support for an unlocked bootloader on the Rezound, does anyone plan to jump over/back to the Rezound in favor of the supposed better battery life, better radios and better camera? Or does the Nexus love run deep with ICS, huge developer support, and Google...

    Help Dropbox files buried on sdcard?

    Anyone else using Dropbox? I thought on past phones my downloads went into /sdcard/Dropbox/, but it appears as if my downloads are now going to /sdcard/Android/data/com.dropbox.android/files/scratch/ What a messy way of handling, especially since Minus downloads to the default Downloads...

    Long phone calls lose connection?

    Call quality has been good for me despite the lesser number of bars than I am used to having from the Motorola days. However, the past three days I have had callers tell me that after awhile my voice begins to sound "robotic" and then at some point they can no longer hear me despite me hearing...

    Help Handcent Contacts Out of Order?

    Perhaps the phone's forum isn't the best place to post this, but I have never had this issue on any other phone (OG or X2). On Handcent, when I click the "+" button to select a contact's number, the contacts listed are in no obvious order. They are not alphabetical by first or last name, nor any...

    Help Does Nexus offer DLNA streaming?

    I've seen a few "unreliable" internet sources claiming that the Nexus supports DLNA streaming over a LAN. Is this true, and if so how do you set it up? I recall seeing a DLNA app on the Droid X2 but I do not see anything similar on the Nexus.
