    Root Why is Mobster ROM or any other ROM such a battery drainer?

    I'm using the Mobster ROM with the default kernel so the CPU is under clocked at 1.1 GHz max yet the battery drains as if it's the Midnight ROM with the Anthrax kernel. Is this relevant to anyone else?

    Help In what retail stores can I find the SGS3 International/Unlocked?

    The only places I have found them is either Amazon.com or Newegg.com but since both are online retailers, replacing/returning the phone, if defected, would be a doozy. I know this from personal experience. So, are there any retail stores that sell the international version? Where did you guys...

    Is there a difference in data speed between ATT sim card and Unlocked sim card?

    I'm planning on buying an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S3 (Quad-core) and was wondering if there was any difference in data speed between the AT&T sim card and the Unlocked sim card because the only way you can get the AT&T sim card is if you have a AT&T GS3 (Dual-core) which has 4G LTE capabilities...

    Root Error Code 67 after unlocking device?

    This is weird. I'm trying to root my replacement phone which would be my third time rooting, S-OFFing and flashing a HTC EVO V with no serious problems. This time however, after unlocking my phone with HTC Dev and rebooting to the homescreen as usual, I get the infamous "Error Code 67" message...

    Help Will this cause confusion?

    When I called for a replacement, the representative would give me an order number that's a few digits off from the one I get to track my replacement phone and tells me to put the order number he gives me into the envelope. Well, I thought he made a mistake and gave me the wrong order number so I...

    Help Is this possible?

    I recently received a replacement phone and swapped it but it turns out to be worse than my original phone. Can I just go online and swap it back and return the replacement phone with the prepaid envelope provided by Virgin Mobile?

    Root WIFI/4G still not working on Mobster ROM?

    About a month and a half ago, I flashed Mobster's ROM with S-ON and the WIFI/4G did not work so I waited until a later version of the ROM came out and until I was S-OFF. Well, now I'm S-OFF and the final version of the ROM came out and both the WIFI/4G still don't work. Does anyone else have...

    Root What ROMs work with hboot 1.4?

    I was recently told that the hboot is what determines what ROMs you can flash and since I'm limited to the hboot provided by Leslie's radio fix, I wonder, what ROMs can you flash with hboot 1.4?

    Root Does Midnight ROM drain anyone else's battery?

    For some reason, the Midnight ROM drains my EVO V's stock battery more than twice as fast as the VM Shooter ROM. I thought it was the battery but when it drained my second battery, it had to be the ROM. It's a great ROM with many perks but I can't seem to even last 2 hours of straight usage...

    Root I'm curious, what ROMs work with Leslie's radio fix?

    After the minor doozy I had when I attempted to flash the VM Shooter ROM with Leslie's radio fix, I wonder... what ROMs do work with her radio fix? Has anyone else tried other ROMs with her fix besides Midnight and Harmonia?

    Root Stuck in hboot, please help!

    I recently flashed Leslie's radio with Midnight ROM and was curious to see if the rooted stock ROM would work even though it was not recommended. I went on to flash it with 4EXT and it got stuck on bootloop. So I did the 'ole power and vol down button trick to go back to recovery from hboot to...

    Root Does Midnight ROM show signal strength?

    I finally unlocked, rooted, S-OFFed and flashed Leslie's radio fix on my EVO V but I can't seem to find where it would show the signal strength (dBm) anywhere on the phone including where it usually is. Does anyone know where it is on the Midnight ROM because I want to see my new signal...

    Root How do I check if I'm S-OFF or not?

    I recently tried to S-OFF and I succeeded within the 5th try :D but I can't tell if I'm truly S-OFF and I don't want to risk flashing Leslie's radio fix until I'm sure. Is there a way to check, perhaps through an adb command? Much appreciated.

    Help Does anyone know how to turn off the vibration?

    In the settings, there is an option to turn off the vibration for the soft keys but not the rest. I find it rather annoying when I'm texting someone or typing and it vibrates to every key I touch. Is there a way to customize the vibration of the phone?

    Root Stuck on bootloop...

    So I rooted and flashed the stock ROM on my replacement phone and I wanted to flash a new kernel. I went and bought 4EXT and tried to flash the Anthrax kernel from 4EXT. I checked Wipe dalvik, wipe data/factory reset, format system, and format cache and then it was flashing until it rebooted and...

    I sent back the replacement phone on September 12th. I called VM to check on September 19th, they say they haven't RECEIVED IT YET?! I checked the USPS tracking number online and on phone on the prepaid envelope and it has no tracking information. Does it usually take this long? Because I am...

I did every step as told until the last step right after the HTC DEV where I have to type in 3 simple commands after my phone reboots. So, after the HTC DEV, my phone now says it's unlocked. I typed...

    Help Should I root and S-Off my phone?

    Since I got the replacement, my single strength has actually stayed between 4 and 6 bars and it's seldom that it goes to 0 or 1. If I root and S-Off, is there a possible chance that it can go back to being bad again?

    Help HTC EVO V 4G STILL has connection problems?!

    I purposely bought this phone in August in hope that even the most BASIC of issues would be fixed by then. But nope, the second I walk out of my house, the signal is crap. Especially if it's indoors. I walk into Walmart and boom: 1x or X, no bars that fluctuates to 5 and then none, no 4G. The...
