    [Travel] T-Mobile Connectivity: Disappointed

Most of the time our phones had us on AT&T towers almost the entire way there, while we were there, and on the way back (we drove)...

    [International / GSM] [Support] Changing keypress sound?

    The last time I went to the T-Mobile store, the manager let me play with his S3 and I fell in love with the water drop keypress sound. I managed to hunt down the ogg file and get it onto my phone, but I cannot get it to work when I press a key. What I've done thus far (in this order): Made sure...

    Toilet Paper: From the top, or from the bottom?

    You grow up and go through your entire life having the toilet paper go a certain way on the roll. Then when you move in with your sweetheart, you happily learn to make adjustments.

    lol @ battery

    I accidentally left this on, sitting on a side table here next to my desk. It's not activated. Stock, unrooted, no apps other than the default and not used WiFi. Not sure why I had airplane mode on, but it shows just how much the battery gets eaten by 3G, apps, and other things. Can't say that...

    Root Questions about overclocking with BACKside IHO

    Hi all! Just a few questions about OCing. Any and all help is much appreciated. :) What exactly is a governor? What makes one governor better than the other, or is it merely user preference? Will OC'ing increase the heat of the phones CPU, and if so by how much? In the overall Performance...

    A few months ago, I rooted using this method here, but I never installed a custom rom after that. Since Asadullah no longer supports his software, I wish to revert to stock so I can try another method of rooting and possibly even try a custom rom. I've kept his rooting software on my computer...
