    Root Trying to disable Verizon OTA updates

    I've rooted my G3 and want to ensure that I don't take a lollipop upgrade - Kitkat works best for me. I've been able to make the notification go away for now, but want to ensure that I block any sneaky future OTA that tries to run on its own. I found a tip that indicated I can get to my hidden...

    G4 speculation

    I've been waiting to follow the posts of fellow android users who might be interested - even obsessed with the G4, but so far, no posts have been entered for this device.

    Root Trying to root G3 on Verizon using Stump

    New Swype beta version

    I used swype all day long, and have been a fan for a long time. I pre-ordered an SG3, which I've read doesn't come with Swype pre-installed, however, you can go to the Swype website and get registered in order to download their beta version. Before I get my new SG3, I thought I'd get used to...

    DX Replacement?

    This is the type of phone I could get very interested in. Something like this would make a solid candidate to replace my DX. I'm hoping but have not idea if Verizon might eventually get to carry it. MWC 2012: Huawei Ascend D quad Hands-On Preview
