    Root Can I, should I root my S5 Active

    Have gotten to a point where internal memory is not enough to even do an update without removing a bunch of apps. Thanks to At&t I can't move apps to the SD card either, so I'm considering rooting since I still love the phone. What are my options?

    Help Phone went dead

    Had an odd thing happen to my phone the other day. Pressed the power button like usual to wake the phone up and there was no response. I thought maybe I had had somehow turned the phone off so I pressed and held the power button again but again, no response. After a few moments of panic, I did a...

    Help How can I change photo resolution?

    Is it possible to adjust the resolution so I'm not stuck with 2MB photos? The only adjustment I see is between widescreen or not.

    Help Can't download lessages from one person

    Have had no problems whatsoever with SMS or MMS until yesterday. For some reason messages from this one person show up in the SMS/MMS screen only, not in the "ALL MESSAGES" screen, and when I try to open them, all I get is a white screen that says "loading" but never actually progresses beyond...

    Finally got a Dinc!

    After putting it off, I finally made the move to the Dinc. I've been dealing with my Eris for far too long. Was my first smartphone, and it was great but, the Dinc truly is INCREDIBLE!!

    What to replace my Eris with?

    So, I think it's time to finally replace my Eris. Just getting tired of it being so slow. My daughter has an iPhone and it's WAY faster than my Eris. I still like the Android OS better than Apple so, what's the logical replacement phone? I like the Eris a lot, just want something faster. Thanks...

    Is the Incredible a good replacement for the Eris?

    Was just thinking about replacing my Eris, and was wondering if the Incredible would be the logical step up from the Eris. I like the Eris a lot but there ARE a couple things that I think I'm getting tired of. First is it's slow most of the time, and second, the camera is just not living up to...

    Droid Eris getting like a PC

    Been noticing lately that I'm having all kinds of little glitches that go away as soon as I reboot the phone. Did Microsoft make this thing?

    unintended calls

    After having my Eris for a while now, I must admit, there is still a couple issues that bother me about it: 1. Press the "PHONE" button, and then you get a keyboard with the last 3 calls over top of it, and the "CALL" button bottom, center. Can't tell you how often, I've pressed one of the 3...

    Google Maps "My Location" accuracy

    Anyone have an accuracy issue? I just opened it for the first time and it shows my location as a good 1/4 mile away. Of course it does state accurate to 1400 meters but...

    About music apps...

    I was wondering how these apps work. I was looking into Pandora. Seems pretty cool but then I saw that in order for these "streaming" apps to work, you're basically paying for internet time the whole time you're listening to the music, right? If this is the case, why use this type of app vs...

    Eris battery not so bad?

    I know, I know. Another thread about the Eris battery? But...this one is a little different. Yesterday, I decided to run the battery until it died and got a big surprise. As the battery meter goes down, it eventually goes to an amber color and finally red. I was amazed how much battery is still...

    about email notifications...

    How do you make it so the phone doesn't automatically check for emails? I get so few that it would be better for me to be able to simply do a "manual" check when I want, rather than have the phone check all the time. Besides, I don't NEED to be notified every time I get an email since most are...

    reducing touch sensitivity

    I don't see where anyone has asked this before, so I guess I'm the first? I find myself selecting items when all I want to do it scroll down the page. I find myself calling people when all I want to do is scroll down my contacts list, and while browsing on the internet, scrolling through a web...

    Too many contacts deleted???

    When I got my new Eris, the Verizon guy offered to swap my contacts from my old phone to the new one (as usual). He did so. After getting home, I noticed he'd also downloaded all the accumulated contacts 9mostly crap) from my Google Mail account as well. I went and deleted them all but now I...

    youtube video quality

    Even though I read that there is a way to improve the Youtube video quality, I'm unable to apply the instructions. I go to Youtube and start playing a video. Then, I press the "menu" button on the phone and all I get is the virtual keyboard pops up. So, what am I doing wrong?

    Hello from PA

    Just picked up a Droid Eris yesterday. This thing will take some time to figure out for sure. MUCH more to offer than any phone I've had before. My first move will be to check out the FAQ's and poke around a bit. THEN I need to ask some questions (so what else is new, right?)
