    Titanium Backup Batch Restore Hanging

    Got a new SIII today - yay! Slapped the SD card on from my Incredibly sick Incredible and fired up TB. Individual apps all restore just fine - no issues whatsoever. Batch restores? Ah, now there's the rub... It just hangs and does bugger all. Just sits there at zero percent. At that point...

    Launchers on ICS

    I've played around with stock, Nova and Apex and can't find much reason to change to a custom launcher - stock seems fine enough to me. Am I missing something that these custom launchers bring to the party apart from a few extra graphic effects here and there? I'm only looking at the free apps...

    Tapatalk weirdness

    Anyone had either of these two issues? 1. When replying and quoting a post the app will sometimes pick a totally random thread from anywhere to put in as the quoted text. 2. Avatars come and go. Sometimes I'll see folks avatars and other times Tapatalk will simply not show any.

    Help Incredible suddenly gone unstable.

    Phones be fine for the past year - the odd reboot one a week or so but nothing severe. I rebooted it on Sunday trying to fix what I thought was a GPS problem (which was nothing to do with GPS and more down to me being a muppet - it happens on occasions) and ever since then it's been horribly...

    Titanium Backup, Jelly Bean and encrypted apps.

    I was reading a story today about Google disabling a DRM method on JB due to issues. This process apparently encrypts purchased apps with a device specific key to prevent them being copied to another device. Presumably Google will fix the current issue and this will become part of Android...

    Best way to eat an Oreo.

    So, being an ignorant Brit living in the US I find myself asking this question. I've always eaten them as is, the wife takes two, eats the top chocolate wafer of each then joining the two together to make a double sandwich. Is this the best way or do people have strong opinions? This is an...

    ADW Launcher - Abandonware?

    Looks like the last update was at the same time Google ran the 10c sale on it. Nothing on the authors blog about any changes. Anyone any thoughts as to whether or not to play around with it? I'm on Go right now but pondering making a move. Still on FroYo so ICS launchers like Apex are out...

    Apple App Store Hacked

    Interesting. A Russian geezer claims to have hacked his way into Apples App Store and been able to download in app purchases for free. Sounds like his server's overloaded as of now (can't imagine why...) and he's looking for funds to get a new server. That's if Apple don't nail him first...

    Help Interference from Maxx?

    Just got pinged by my brother-in-law asking about his new Razr Maxx that he got late June. Apparently he tried to use the Navigation on the phone while in his BMW and within a short space of time the car died. It came on about 2 hours later and a mechanic said that the control module in the...

    Am I missing something on this July 4th?

    I get ya that it's Independence Day and all, but what is the point in letting off fireworks at 2PM in the afternoon? It's both bloody hot and bright out here! Please someone educate me 'cause I'm confuzzeled...

    Root Bluetooth issues

    My current 002 Incredible is a refurb which seems to have a couple of problems. The first I can live without - the LED doesn't turn green when the phone is fully charged. Easy enough workaround - I just assume when the orange LED goes black I'm charged. Second is much nastier. Most of the time...

    Help SD card slow on reboot.

    I've a class 10 32GB SD card that normally works absolutely fine. I can run apps off it, write and read Nandroids off and on it and store and retrieve all of my multimedia files. Except when I reboot. When I reboot I can access the card and all the files with no problems - the issue appears...

    Memory Management Apps on a Rooted phone - any recommendations?

    I'm rooted on FroYo and seem, like many folk, to be fighting the lack of available space on \data\data. Every few days it feels like I have to go through and delete the data on some of my news and current affairs apps, the cache on others and zapping various multi-MB *.localstorage files from...

    Boat Browser - Deleting Downloaded Files

    My SO just brought up an interesting question to me to which I had no answer to. Looked online but found nowt either. When deleting a downloaded file, Boat also asks the Question "Also delete the source file(s)?". What "source file(s)" is it referring to? My understanding was that Boat, like...

    Root Deploying the November OTA 'cleanly'

    Not too far back after FroYo crept out the Verizon trapdoor I took the opportunity to reapply the base sock the 2.1.0 ROM (which started me at scratch), Rooted and S_Off'f before applying the 2.1.1 update THEN the 2.2 Froyo via an clean RUU (which, once again left me a fresh virginal 2.2 Froyo...

    Root Silly 'image recovery whilst retaining root' question with S-Off

    Phone Highlights: S-Off. Stock Froyo. Rooted. ClockworkMod installed. ==================================================== OK, it was my fault - I was stoopid.. I was having issues with Marketplace and then found that GTalk wasn't working and, well, one thing followed another and I blew...

    Help Market Place Issues (VZW Droid Incredible)

    Unsure if this is an Incredible, Verizon or me type of issue, but... (Mod's please feel free to move this elsewhere if you think it's misfiled) I've not been able to download squat-diddly from the marketplace (either standard or via AppBrain) since something like Sunday Lunchtime (not tried...

    K9 Question

    Any K9 guru's out there able to tell me why some of my emails are highlighted in a different color (e.g. gray). They're neither unread, nor are they starred. Some have attachments, others don't and emails from the same source can be either highlighted or not. I'm sure there must be a pattern...

    Help I'm in Ohio, my phone presumably thinks it's in California...

    My Dinc today started to prefer being on PDT as opposed EDT today. I checked the settings and confirmed it was set to "Automatic - use network provided values" So, here I am , 4:05 here in Sunny Cincinnati, about to head home from work, whilst my Incredible feels I've 3 more hours to work as...

    Help Incredible barfed itself to (almost) death...

    To start off, i've an unrooted Dinc, manufactured Date 6/30 with stock 2GB SD. So, now to the question. Can a single (or collection) of bad apps causes my Incredible to first of all become unreliable to the point it would reboot several times daily, then to the point where I lost several...
