    My prospective gaming rig

    I'm planning on building it this summer, so hopefully prices will fall on some of the parts, but I'll also be fine paying the current price. Here's the wishlist I made for the full build: Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg I realize there isn't an HDD on the list. I'll be removing the...

    My Nexus 4: Ebony edition!

    After my N4's back glass cracked, I decided to replace it with ebony. After a couple of weeks and LOTS of work with a dremel, a guitar headplate, and some superglue, my baby is ready to be used again. The back adds about 3/32 of an inch to the thickness, but without back glass and with a screen...

    Help Removing the back glass

    I previously posted about wanting to replace the back glass of my N4, and I finally got around to starting the process by removing the back glass. I will have pictures up soon, but the short story is that I strongly suggest you DON'T do it. As it turns out, the black reflective surface isn't...

    Replacing the back (but not with more glass).

    All, I just got my N4 this afternoon. Within six hours of having it, it slid off my lap and about 2.5 feet down onto carpet. The back promptly shattered. This has me thinking: why not replace the glass with something more durable? There has to be a solvent that can remove the glass without...

    Reflashing Phone From Metro

    Hi all, I'm looking at buying an Epic 4G Touch that is currently flashed for Metro PCS. Would the process to reflash it to Sprint be as simple as rooting the phone and flashing Sprint's stock E4GT ROM back onto it? If not, how could I go about this?

    Am I able to choose which replacement handset sprint sends?

    Hello all, I'm currently on my second Evo 3D (Sprint replaced my first one because a circuit board that controlled the screen burnt out). This second E3D, which just came in less than a month ago, has since developed an issue with the digitizer where it has phantom touches on the bottom of the...

    Root [CDMA] Bricked e3d

    Okay, so I rooted my 3D using the HTC method. I unlocked bootloader and then tried to use Flash Image GUI to flash a new ROM. That, however, failed. To be specific, the app said it did not have superuser permissions. I then used fastboot to install superuser and I tried again. Still, no luck. I...

    Help [OFFICIAL SOLUTION] 3G issues on the 3D?

    I'm having difficulties with 3G downloads on my new E3D, the specific app being tiny flashlight+LED (I needed to go outside at night). I have full bars where I am (Southwest Georgia), and I've had good 3G speeds on my Hero, but the download right now is slower than edge coverage. When I did the...

    Why?

    I just saw the post for the official announcement on phandroid... but why? This phone seems like it would've been popular two or three years ago, but it seems that the days of landscape clamshells are gone*. Without some pretty incredible specs, I honestly don't see it doing well. Just MO...

    Need a phone to hold me over till Evo 3D!!

    So, after a year and a half of putting up with my torture, my HTC Hero ran away (actually, I left it on the bus o.O). I really would rather not pay the deductible for Sprint's insurance since I have to fork over 200+ dollars for the Evo 3D in just a couple months. So I'm faced with a choice: pay...

    Wimax frequency

    Okay, so I've done a little looking to find a thread about wimax frequency and I can't find one, so if I missed it I'm sorry :) What I was wondering though is why on earth sprint/clearwire would choose the 2.5 GHz frequency for it. It doesn't penetrate well, and from what I understand it doesn't...

    Wifi Tethering-Not like you're thinking though

    Hi all, I just got a new laptop, and I don't want to have to put in the wifi password for it. I do have the password in my HTC Hero though, and I was wondering if I could do a WIRED tether (I've seen people ask about wireless tethers while also using wifi) to the laptop so I can get full wifi...
