    Root How to recover from bad decision to let it update?

    I hope I haven't done something that has bricked my phone. (It was running Froyo after rooting and gaining superuser, from help here.) The phone kept nagging me to update (4.0.something?) from Verizon network. I kept saying no, but had lost internet access and hadn't yet gotten the courage to...

    Root No data after root, even with Wifi connection?

    I've looked around at similar topics and cleared caches where it was available. Any ideas why rooting and applying low-on-space would disable my internet connection? It worked until the low-on-space fix. I can't get into Google play or even to google.com, though I am connected to Wifi, so...

    Root Computer can't find phone to start root process?

    I got bait-and-switched on ebay--bought a phone that was supposedly rooted but at the last minute the seller claims he thought better of it and reset to factory. So I get the phone and there's not only no S-off, it's gingerbread, 2.3.4. (I managed to root my old incredible with help I got here...

    Any new phones close to Dinc?

    Has anyone found a newer phone that's similar to the original dinc? I miss the size, FM radio, and 8MP camera. There are so many phones to wade through, and I can't find another Android that has these features.

    Help Phone won't charge, no lights

    This is my mother's phone. Suddenly it won't take a charge for no apparent reason. She is a light user (in her 70's) and takes very good care of it. Bought the phone in October 2011. So, do I just buy a new battery and assume this one is dead? How do I know if the phone itself is bad...

    Help Has anyone replaced a charging port themselves?

    I've begun to have charging problems, and discovered through trial/error that the charging cable must be bent downwards to keep a steady charge. I *think* somehow I bent the charging port "tongue." But I fear trying to re-bend it and snapping it off or something. I wonder how difficult it...

    Root Is Custom ROM blocking Android Mkt and is there a fix?

    Hi, I rooted my phone and installed a version of Gingerbread I got from the forums. I'm not certain if it's a custom ROM, I think it's an official version? It's from here...

    Warning about Best Buy "gift card offer" in games

    I was playing one of the tap games (either Tap Ranch or Tap Fish) and clicked through to their special offers to earn game bucks. One said Win a Best Buy gift card, and displayed the Best Buy logo, so I thought it was Best Buy. I entered my email address, real name and home address, then read...

    Root List of bloatware that's safe to remove?

    Has anyone seen such a list or would you like to start one? I put this in All Things Root because you need to be rooted to delete them. Using Titanium backup, (first did a backup of all apps + system data), then deleted "Stocks" apps, Facebook, Twitter since I don't use them and they seem to...

    Root Teaching Gramma to root her incredible

    I need to root my phone. Low On Space is driving me crazy and I can't afford a new phone right now. I don't know how to backup my whole phone, esp. my games, I fear losing many months of progress. I can only see certain folders through Windows Explorer when it's attached to my computer. I...

    Mobile Hotspot, free or not?

    I'd love to use the Mobile Hotspot on my Verizon phone, but I fear turning it on and getting a bigger phone bill. I have a grandfathered unlimited data plan. Does anyone have experience with this? If I turn on Mobile hotspot will the rate go up? Edit: I found a thread that stated it will...

    Wireless Leash so you don't forget your phone somewhere

    I searched the forums and didn't see this mentioned. I was just reading a thread in the Android Lounge, about someone leaving their phone in a public bathroom and having it disappear, and it reminded me of a new gadget I saw--a wireless leash. It's a keychain--bluetooth external speaker...

    How to add a new contact?

    Edit: Found it. Just in case it helps someone else... Android 2.3.3 I couldn't find how to add a new contact. It isn't on the menu. There's a tiny man icon on the top right next to the search window, click that to add a new contact. Who makes these changes, anyway. *grumble.*

    Q: is there no possible way to get apps without internet?

    I have tried (preinstalled) Bluetooth transfer, but the new phone will not accept files. There's no way to access anything but "Force stop" or "turn on Bluetooth." Turning it on does not let it accept files. This is the 3rd phone I've tried and they are all the same right from factory. I...
