    What options do I have if I want to buy a rootable flagship phone on Verizon (US)?

    I'm in the market for a new phone, but I don't want to leave Verizon. The coverage is too good. I want to be able to root my new phone and load custom ROMs. However, it seems that every phone I research has a locked bootloader on Verizon. Are there any high-end phones that don't have a locked...

    Can't get rid of voicemail icon

    Awhile back I set up my voicemail to go through google voice. I don't really remember the steps I took do do it. It was confusing at the time. I didn't have the app and just got my voicemails as attachments in my email. That was all on my OG Droid. Now that I have upgraded to a verizon galaxy...

    Get rid of Swiftkey 3 notification

    Whenever I am using my swiftkey 3 keyboard, it places a notification in the notification bar that lets me select a keyboard input. I've already chosen swiftkey as my default and do not wish to use anything else. The icon in the notification bar is incredibly annoying. How to I put an end to this?

    Help me understand what LTE is

    I got into an argument about LTE with my roommate yesterday. He says that verizon's 4G network (the one that the gnex and other recent phones run on) is not LTE. He says it's not even 4G, verizon just calls it 4G and LTE. What is what?

    Does google backup my wallpaper?

    I just went from cyanogen 7.1 back to 100% stock. Stock rom, uninstalled every app possible, wiped sd card, etc. Then re-rooted and installed cyanogen 7.1. But somehow my wallpaper is the same. It's a picture I downloaded, not part of any of the roms. It doesn't bother me, I'm just confused as...

    Root Do I need to reinstall kernel after rom update?

    I recently updated cyanogenmod 6.0.1 RC4 to 6.1.2 stable. 1. Do I need to reinstall the custom kernel that I had installed before, or should it already be there? 2. Do I need to get a completely different kernel because they are custom built for specific ROMs? I can't remember what the...

    Can verizon tell that I'm tethering?

    Ok so I'm currently having an argument with a friend. He seems to think Verizon will have no problem detecting the fact that I'm tethering regardless of how much I actually use my phone as a hotspot. I told him I should have no problem as long as I don't download ridiculous amounts of data. He...

    Root What else can I do?

    I'm about a year late, but I finally joined the root crowd. My original goal was just to overclock as I was getting sick of inconsistent laggy operation. Now that I'm running at 1Ghz it's absolutely unreal. It's like I have a new phone. After that I started to look into it more and took...

    Too sensitive when using dialpad in call

    If i ever need to use the dialpad while in a call it's really hit or miss. I take the phone away from my ear to use the dialpad and the screen turns back on just fine, but then often turns off as i bring my finger to press a number, and quickly comes back on as i move my finger away. This goes...

    I would like to save a street view image of a local sandwich shop so that I can use it for the contact photo. Is there an easy way to do this or do I have to go through that longwinded process of taking a screenshot?

    Remove Icon Text?

    Just looking for a simple way to remove the text below any icons on my home screen. For example, since I already know what the phone app icon looks like, there's no reason I need to see the text. This is purely for aesthetics.

    Help Voice command "call" doesn't seem to work

    I'm trying to call my contacts with a long press on the search button. It picks up my words just fine, but all it does is google search. For example i was trying to order lunch from a local sub joint that i have saved in my contacts as "Marcellos". So I said "call marcellos" and it went straight...
