    Looking for a good, cheap unlocked phone

    I had a first gen 3G Moto G which treated me well. I sold it because my job gave me an iPhone 5s. It's my first iPhone after many Android devices and I hate it! I want to get a "cheap" (under $200) phone that I can throw the sim card from my work phone into and use. I want something with 4G...

    Help SD card won't work

    I just bought a Shield running 5.0.1. I bought a generic 128gb micro SD card. The first time I put the card in it worked and I was able to move apps and copy stuff to it. I didn't reformat the card first. Later the card didn't show up, it did give option to unmount or erase but it showed as...

    Help Wifi painfully slow

    I bought a refurb 1st gen Nexus 7 off ebay a few months ago. It came with 5.0 installed which was a nightmare. I back reved to 4.4.4 and it is now at least usable but wifi is soooo slow. I will barely get 1 bar on the wifi and speedtest shows 6mb down and then in the same room with my laptop...

    Moto G spontaneous factory reset ...twice

    I've had my Moto G for a couple of months now and on two occasions I took it out of my pocket and it was in the initial set up screen as if it was brand new out of the box. I certainly did not initiate a factory reset and my phone is password protected with the screen locked so I can't fathom...

    Root What is the best rom for this device?

    I bought this phone for $20 on ebay a while back. Was going to use it to replace a broken metro phone but ended up buying Moto G. So now I was thinking of using this as a dedicated mp3 player in the car for me and the wife. I'm sure it would be perfectly fine running stock rom for this...

    Moto X vs Nexus?

    I'm in the market for a new phone. Currently have service on MetroPCS for $40/mo. I am deciding between buying a used Nexus 4 and using it on Metro. It seems like Nexus 5 is not supported on Metro or I would consider that. Option B is switching to Republic and getting a Moto X. There are...

    I've been rooted for a while and working great. Lately I've been getting prompted for system update on my phone. It fails due to root I'm sure. But it keeps popping up every day and if I ignore, it pops up every hour or so. Annoying. Is there away to do the update or at least stop it from...

    Root Browsers not working after rooting

    I finally got my root working yesterday. But now my browsers (chrome, firefox) don't work. If I type in an address it seems to go but my screen is just blank white. This actually happened before I got it rooted after I ran the .apk file. When I did a restore it fixed it. Any clue what is...
