    Help Keep getting nagged to install Instagram V20-US996

    I am using an unlocked US996 LG V20. So far I had been getting along fine without having to root it. But now I keep getting nagged to install Instagram. I also see a spinning white circle with a yellow trashcan in the center, counting up in MB, then finally it shows "released" before it...

    Help Remove an uninstalled app from the “Complete action using” list

    I am still seeing apps that I have uninstalled in the “Complete action using” list on my new un-rooted V20 when I tap a file to open it, and don't have a default app set. I had tried an older version of Thinkfree Office (which won't run on the V20 and instantly force closes) as well as...

    Root [Verizon] Rejected Number List Cleared?

    I just discovered the list of rejected numbers, in which I had about 30 entries, was cleared on my S3. Any idea what might have caused that? Also, can someone tell me the location in which this list is kept? I have several nandroids and full file backups of the Card and Phone folders, so I am...

    Help Updates - Samsung Apps vs. Play Store Apps?

    My Note 10.1 is rooted, with TWRP Recovery, stock ROM. I got a notification that I have 2 potential updates for Samsung Apps. I have not installed any apps from the Samsung App Store yet, so I investigated. One listing is Evernote. I have used Evernote for years, and did install it on the...

    After replacing my SD card, all the playlists I had made for the Music Player app still show their titles, but they are all empty. Can someone please tell me where this app stores its playlists? I tried creating a new playlist, which I named "TEST FOR LOCATION". Then I put one music track in...

    After using the guide in this forum to root my Note 10.1 (not 2014 edition) and install TWRP 2.6.3 I am having problems with the stock browser freezing. I have to use Settings/Apps and Stop the running and/or cached process to get the browser to work again. Anyone else seeing this, or is there a...

    Help How long for first charge?

    Just got my shiny new Note 10.1 wifi version. The supplied charger surprised me with the 0.35A rating stamped on it. I'd been told tablets don't charge by microUSB because their battery needed more than the typical 1A charge rate on many smartphones. So, how long should I expect this first...

    Root No sign of life, after working fine yesterday.

    I'm currently using CM10.2. In fact I just made a nandroid backup a few days ago, because it was acting a little flaky (freezing) and so I meant to start looking for a different ROM. Other than that, I've been using it several hours each day, and it charges every night. This morning it won't...

    Root [Verizon] Cannot make USB data connection to PC

    I have been running rooted stock Jelly Bean 4.1.1 for several months now, and have been making a nandroid and copying it and the files from both the Phone and Card folders as backups to my PC or notebook every week since I rooted the phone not long after getting it (when it first hit the market...

    Root [Verizon] Programming the Home button?

    Anyone know of an app or hack that will allow me, running JB 4.1.1, to program the Home button, so that when I press it with the display off, all it does is light the display, and NOT jump to the home screen unless I press it again? I have an annoying issue since the JB upgrade. One of my...

    What's a good tripod mount for the S3 in a case?

    I'm using an Otterbox Commuter case on my S3, and I am looking for a tripod mount adapter that will hold well. Any of you using such a case know that it has a protruding rubber edge surrounding the display, so that if you were to cut the S3 in half while lying on its back, and look at the...

    Root [Verizon] Using an older bootloader?

    Following the link trail for the CM10 (Jellybean) ROM listed here, I read where an older bootloader must be flashed on my VZW S3 before I could flash the CM10 ROM. I am currently running the rooted version of the stock ICS ROM that came on my S3 when they first released from Verizon...

    Root [Verizon] How to reboot into recovery (ROM Mgr. Won't)

    The recent update to ROM Manager has now caused my rooted stock SIII to not be able to boot into Recovery (from ROM Manager). It just hangs. What is the procedure to manually boot to recovery on a rooted stock SIII? OK, for now I managed to restore an older version of ROM Manager with TIBU, and...

    What's your favorite NON-Market app source?

    Many of us have experienced the desire to NOT see Play Store updates for specific apps, for various reasons. Although Titanium Backup Pro (TIBU) has the feature to remove an app's market link, it was broken by Google's recent switch to the Play Store. TIBU support just told me they can't fix it...

    Root [Verizon] Looking for a working Screen Shot app

    I have tried several Screen Shot apps (including Screen-Shot-It, which I use just fine on my Acer Iconia A500 tablet running Thor ICS) on my rooted stock GS3 and not found a single one that will work. Either they take no picture at all, or else they yield a red and white mess of diagonal...

    Root [Verizon] Need app that blocks Market Updates

    Sometimes allowing an app to update from the Play Store unleashes nothing but misery. I am looking for a utility app that allows me to not update specific installed apps from the Store. It would be best if their update never even appeared when checking for updates at the Store. Anyone know...

    Root [Verizon] Where to MMS attachments "go" when saved??

    Where the heck do attachment photos "go" when they are told to be saved? I have a photo I want to access which I received as an MMS attachment. The S3 showed it was "attachment copied to SD Card" when I worked the Messaging menu to save the attachment. Of course there is the INTERNAL MEMORY...

    Root [Verizon] Titanium Backup to the REAL SD Card?

    Has anyone managed to get Titanium Backup Pro to actually use the REAL SD Card as the nandroid storage folder location? It seems to work OK on my Iconia A500 tablet running ICS, but on the S3 it never "sees" the extsdcard when selecting a backup site, even though TIBU does report on the...

    Root [Verizon] Does CWM Touch Recovery now work?

    I just went into ROM Mgr. to reboot to CWM recovery (5.8.4.9) to make my weekly Sat. night nandroid, and ROM Mgr. popped up saying there is a CWMR update. It is offering version 6.0.1.2, and below that it says "Touch is available!" I had been told when I got the S3 to avoid CWM Touch Recovery...

    Root [Verizon] Need an automated file copy utility -

    Until Android app programmers start dealing with the issue of our newer devices' Internal Memory being labeled as "SD Card" on top of the REAL SD Card listing separately, we have a problem.

    Root Use ROM Mgr to make nandroids?

    I am currently using CWM Recovery v5.5.0.x (the Touch version) rev1.73. I would like to start using the "Back up current ROM" function in ROM Manager, rather than manually rebooting to recovery to make a nandroid. But after installing ROM Manager 5.0.0.8 it says I have to 'flash CWM Recovery'...
