    Galaxy S7 Edge and Cardboard Apps.

    I've seen threads where people say Cardboard apps work fine with the Galaxy S7 Edge and Gear VR. I used a package disabler to keep Gear from launching, but every time I snap the phone into place, The home button is depressed and the phone quits the app and the home screen appears. Has anyone...

    Gear Won't Launch

    I'm new at this and, at first, my Galaxy S7 worked plug and play as advertised. Then, I started exploring Cardboard Enabler and apps from the Play store. I couldn't get any of them to work since the home button would depress when the phone was snapped into place most of the time and there was a...

    Root [AT&T] More Clueless Questions

    I was only successful at rooting a phone once years ago and haven't needed to do it since. I have only one need to root my One and that's to enable the tethering that AT&T is blocking. I have no desire to change my phone in any other way. If there's a way to tether without rooting, I'd love to...

    Root [AT&T] Unlocked the Bootloader...how best to proceed?

    I'm a little squeamish about rooting my M7/AT&T One. I've managed to get the bootloader unlocked, but as I attempt to follow the step by step instructions, my eyes start to glaze over. I've searched for an easier, one click style root method, but the feedback is so minimal on the sites I've...

    Root [International] [Rooted] USB Not Found in Fastboot Mode

    Since I have the time today, I thought I'd attempt to root my One. First things first, I go to the HTC Dev site to unlock the bootloader. I'm not an expert at this, so I'm following the step by step instructions. In Fastboot mode it tells me to connect the phone to the computer, but every time I...

    Frequent Dropped Calls

    I can always count on my first attempt to place a call being dropped with that annoying beep tone. Either as soon as the call is connected or shortly into the call, it drops and then I have to redial and then I have an uninterrupted conversation. I always have at least 3 to 4 bars of 4G. It...

    Anyone Rooted?

    Has anybody taken the leap and rooted using the method mentioned in the thread above? I had hoped that JB would let me finally use FoxFi to tether my laptop or Nexus 7, but it seems it still won't work. I don't tether frequently, but it's nice to have a backup plan if I don't have internet...

    Scrolling Wallpaper

    Not a huge deal that the wallpaper doesn't scroll on the M, but still curious if anyone knows if it will return with JB.

    Google Indoor Maps Question

    Don't usually feel this dumb, but I'm not sure I get the whole indoor map thing. Are the floorplans something you download or do they just initiate when you walk in one of the buildings thats on the list? Going to be in Fort Lauderdale airport soon and I see it has a Google Indoor Maps floorplan.

    Can't Get Into Boot Screen

    Wanted to wipe cache as so many have suggested, but when I hold power and volume, I see a flash of a green bar for a fraction of a second then it just starts normally. Any ideas?

    Question For Those Using Face Recognition

    First, I gotta say that in the 25 or so years using various cell phones, I have never lost a phone or had one stolen. I simply pay attention to where the thing is. So...I don't have any intention of using face recognition to unlock my phone. One thing I'm curious about is...what happens if you...
