    htc ONE M9 slow data after OTA update

    I bought a brand new, sealed-in-box htc ONE M9 on eBay a couple years ago. While it doesn't carry the Sprint logo, it was advertised as being a Sprint phone. Additionally, I had no problem registering the phone with Ecomobile (at the time, a Sprint-only MVNO). After the last OTA update, my...

    Is login.aspx a virus?

    Yesterday, I started seeing a download icon on the status bar. The notification is for "login.aspx". As I recall, I was using Chrome at the time, but wasn't trying to log in anyplace, so I am inclined to think it is a virus. Nothing gets rid of it: Clean Master's anti-virus didn't find...

    Root How do I find an unauthorized data xfer app?

    I have a Pay As You Go account with EcoMobile.com and usually have Data turned OFF (WiFi via a local router at home or work is adequate for my usual data needs). On Oct. 25th, I transitioned from an EVO 4G to an EVO 4G LTE. Imagine my surprise when I review my phone bill online and...

    Help Many Apps have disappeared

    My EVO 4G started responding slowly a couple weeks ago. Last week, two icons were replaced on the main screens with the message "Difficulty in loading icon" (or something similar). I longpressed and selected the same Apps to re-place their icons with no problem. The problem re-occurred this...

    Root Dialer using energy & battery losing it

    First, some background: my cell phone (a Sprint-branded EVO 4G) is mostly used as a PDA (mail, GPS, etc.). I make, on average, 2-4 calls per month. In the last week or so, the battery usage app shows that the Dialer is using 9% to 30+% and I have noticed that my battery depletes more...

    Help GPS on EVO 4G fails outside USA

    I recently visited Sint Maarten in the Caribbean and noticed that the GPS in my EVO 4G was not working correctly. Not only did it take far longer to get a lock, the reported position, speed and altitude were incorrect. I took some pictures of the various screens in my CoPilot navigation...

    Installing CoPilot Live Premium

    I just installed CoPilot Live Premium for my EVO 4G and there are a couple things that I think people should know before they try to install. The installation instructions are poorly written and even incorrect. The URL for the app was incorrect on the page I saw. People who are not familiar...

    Using camera to download?

    I bought CoPilot Live and the (very poorly written) installation instructions include a black and white image (see attached). The seems-to-be-URL above the image doesn't work and I don't know how to use the image to do anything. I have been through my EVO 4G's Basics Guide twice and can't find...

    Help Is my EVO 4G stolen?

    I bought an HTC EVO 4G with no contract on eBay. The phone was listed as 'Used', but arrived with everything wrapped as new except for one of the USB cables and appears totally new in appearance (got all the manuals, too). As near as I can tell, the phone is working perfectly as a PDA with...

    Using as a PDA with no data plan?

    I have a PDA and a prepaid cell phone. The PDA is ancient and annoying, so I am looking to replace it with an Android device. I do not need, or even want, a phone/data plan that costs ~$50 per month. I am quite satisfied with the cell phone costing me only $15 every 90 days. The PDA...

    Actual GPS, not A-GPS?

    Are there any Android smartphones that have an actual GPS chip in them instead of A-GPS which only works if cell service is available? Jeff
