    Root [T-Mobile] Rooting on US Cellular. (I know this is the T mobile root forum, please read on)

    I chose to post here because it looks pretty active. I posted in the US cellular root forum this morning and was wondering why I got no responses. Then I looked closer. The forums has 15 posts total and no activity for quite a while. The sticky post with all the root info has no roms, no...

    Help apps running in background hurting battery?

    I have noticed for quite some time that my phone drains faster than it seems like it should. In the first 2 hours after unplugging it it might drain like 12% and I do nothing at all with the phone. When I run the optimizer app I have it says it's killing like 40+ apps sometimes. Is there a way...

    When using my phone today I could hear really low music playing. Not any song I know or anything, just a tune. And it seemed that only I could hear it. Anyone know what this is??

    Root Thank you everyone. :)

    It is looking more and more like I will be abandoning the good ol' Evo pretty soon. Sprint has garbage service in my area and The more I read about the Galaxy S3 the more I think it's out performing anything HTC is throwing out. US Cellular is the top coverage carrier where I live and now that...

    Root section for US Cellular customers?

    I am looking to maybe change from my Evo to the S3 and the carrier I would use is US Cellular. They have the best service and reception where I live by far. I don't see an "All things root" forum for US cellular phones. Do I use a different one? Are the roms different depending on the carrier?

    Root Wifi hotspot, Wifi tether, USB tethering on Decks reloaded. None work for me....

    Tried All sorts of setting changes on all 3 options. No matter what I do I can not get my laptop to get internet access at all. I can connect to several other wifi networks so I know it is not an issue with my laptop. I'm thinking the features just simply do not work on Decks. I thought it said...

    Evo 4g vs. Samsung Galaxy SIII?

    I have been a sprint customer for over 10 years. Not because they have stellar service, more because I have a company discount from an old job that Sprint never took away even though I don't have that job anymore. Anyway, my girlfriend has been asking me to get on a family plan through US...
