    Help Xbox elite controller doesn't work with phone

    Been testing out a bunch of controllers with my S8+ and most of them (PS3, Xbox 360 etc) have no issues aside from button remapping in certain games. I have an Xbox elite controller which obviously I like to use for most gaming situations, however I can't get it to play nice with my phone at...

    Help Possible Recovery issue w/ Note 4 & freezing/lagging

    A few days ago I had an issue where my Note 4 (N910F) started slowing down horrendously at random after updating a bunch of apps. At times I'd lock the screen and it'd take a full minute to open, pulling the notification bar down made it freeze for a minute and you could forget any sort of...

    Root Note 4 (N910F) Marshmallow Xposed issue - root access/lag

    Recently (finally) upgraded my Note 4 (N910F) to Marshmallow and all was well. Rooted it/installed CWM and all was well. So far so good. My problem came when trying to make the Xposed framework work. I've put off using it for a while since I know it had problems working on stock ROMs, and I'm...

    Help [Solved] Rooted but adverts not blocking over 4G

    One of the main reasons for me rooting is because of how annoying adverts can be, in both viewing websites and games. I've tried multiple ad blockers (adblock plus, adfree, ad away) but the same problem happens every time even though I'm rooted. On Wi-Fi ads are blocked just fine, but whenever...

    Help Street view crashing on Maps (6.14.4)

    Okay so like many here I hate the recent versions of Google Maps, in particular because they took away the nice pegman navigation in Street View. I uninstalled Maps (on a Note 4) and re-installed the 6.14.4 version and Street View crashes every time I try to, well, look in Street View. Tried...

    Help Google Keep on Touchwiz lock screen?

    Hi guys, you might remember me from such threads as "how do I root my new phone" and "how do I bypass tether restrictions" On a Galaxy Note 4 and I'm having trouble figuring out how to put Google Keep on the lock screen. I use it for shopping lists and it'd be nice to check the list and tick...

    Root Had an issue after installing 'xposed installer', fixed it now

    Recently had an issue with the phone and fixed it now. Want to post this in case anyone goes through the same steps and has the same issue. Recently picked up a Note 4 which I love, great battery life and performance, big screen is a win etc. As I've done previously I decided to root it so I...

    Root [International] Can't install new ROM/Wi-Fi doesn't work

    Okay I've currently got a problem with my phone. The short version: It's a Galaxy S4 (I9505) with 4.2 JB. After upgrading to KitKat and sideloading a mod, the phone is acting dodgy. It reverted back to 4.2, takes a while to start up now and the Wi-Fi doesn't work. Also ODIN won't let me replace...

    Help |Is it worth installing Kitkat 4.4 on the Galaxy S4?

    I'm sure a lot of you on here have the S4 and upgraded it to 4.4 Kitkat, my question is, is it worth it? Currently mine is still on 4.2 and rooted. Because I deleted a lot of the bloatware instead of just freezing it with Titanium I can't do a straight up firmware upgrade, I'm gonna have to...

    Help Blue LED randomly flashing on S4

    The blue LED (the one that blinks when you use the IR remote) on my Galaxy S4 keeps randomly flashing. Sometimes it'll flash when my hand waves over the motion sensor part (it triggers when my thumb moves past to pull down the notification bar), sometimes it does it when certain apps start up...

    S4 is an absolute beast for USB game controllers

    Upgraded from an S2 to an S4 about a week ago and I love it. Wrapped my head round the majority of the new features (multi-window is nice) so now I'm tinkering around, trying stuff out. One thing that's really impressed me coming from the S2 is how well the phone works for USB game...

    No pegman on street view?

    Okay so I know how to use Street view in the latest maps update, however there's no pegman. You can still navigate in street view but it's slow and clumsy. Does anybody know what the last update to have pegman was, and if possible a download location? Cheers in advance

    Hi I'm Ty

    Hey everyone, always polite to do an intro after joining a new forum so here we go. Went through years of using Nokia phones. First when they were awesome (the legendary 3210) and then out of habit. I lost touch with which phones were the best so I stuck it out, even had an N-Gage at one...
