    Root [CDMA] iPhone defector needs help!

    Mylast Android phone was an Evo 3D. I actually did not have anything bad to say about that phone other than the camera sucked. It was a good stable phone. Well about a year ago, I went to the iPhone 5. Let's not get into a discussion about the differences but long story short, the iPhone is...

    Help Sideload .apk to Prime????

    Alright, this is a basic action but I am having a helluva time or a brainfart. I am trying to get my Navionics app onto my prime. Long story short, Navionics changed their app and then was forcing people to buy it again since they "re-arranged" it so I complained and they sent me the .apk via...

    Root without recovery???

    Is that where we are with this thing right now??? I don't really see much point in rooting if there is no recovery that would allow us to flash ROMs. Just wondering where we are so I can make the decision to root or not....although it seems fairly easy to root. Saying "easy to root" is kinda...

    A network question

    I know many people's routers end up being on the other side of the house from where you usually use your wireless devices. I got a Boxee Box for Christmas and it worked just fine except it was having bandwidth and stability issues and unable to stream high def. I bought a range extender. It...

    Root [CDMA] Help flashing CWM using HTC 1.50 method

    I have tried renaming the CWM file to PG86IMG.ZIP and that did no work.

I tried it both ways individually and I also put them both on the card at the same...

    Help Voice search

    I will say that I pretty much operated my Evo 4G by using the voice search app/function. As "ROMS" evolved, my voice search function started to misbehave. I was pretty stressed about all this but I knew I would be getting a new phone soon. I also felt that this was an issue with the Devs not...
