    Help Jellybean: Missing Voice Input/Mic icon (fixed)

    If anybody else is having the missing mic issue in texting and google search, chances are you did what I did and deleted the google search bar from the home screen. A quick trip to the Play store (search for "google search" and choose "restore" or "update") and a restart will fix you up!

    New OTA update for 2012?

    Yesterday I was prompted to download an update for the intercept. Of course, since I'm rooted with slapkernel it failed, but does anybody know anything about this? Was it some kind of fluke? I'll be getting a new phone in 3 months anyway, but I am curious. I thought I heard someone mention...

    Root Super easy tethering for Root/SlapKernel Intercept.

    Ok, so if you've been following along with me 'til now, you've rooted your Intercept and installed SlapKernel, and are no longer locked in a daily death-struggle with your phone. If you're with me so far, I bring you Wireless Tether for Root Users. Yes, it's not a very snappy name, but the...

    Sprint's 2.2 update, version 2

    Do I understand correctly that if I want to get Sprint's later version of the 2.2 update, I need to downgrade back to 2.1 first?

    A good gallery replacement app?

    Hi all! I'm looking for something to replace the gallery app on my phone (which will remain nameless because somebody moves my post every time I said what phone I have). I'm just looking for something reliable, that's got pinch to zoom, and the ability to swipe across (like iphone) to...

    Simple steps to upgrade to 2.2 (for folks whose OTA update fails)

    Here's my simplified version of how to upgrade to 2.2, specifically for folks having problems due to rooting or temp-rooting/non-stock phone. At Pastafarian's request, I've rewritten this as it's own stand-alone post. Everything after Step 1 is adapted from the link Pastafarian posted here...

    Froyo making my phone unstable?

    I noticed a couple times yesterday my phone acting funny. 2 times, it started vibrating randomly (like I was hitting buttons) while sitting still, and both times it restarted on it's own (went to Samsung boot screen, but strangely didn't take a year to start back up). I also got one force close...

    Do anybody else's apps appear to be a lot smaller now?

    Sine the 2.2 update, my phone says Angry Birds is ridiculously small, like 1.89mb or something. It runs fine though. Same for other apps. Is there an easy way to see exactly how much internal storage is taken/available?

    So can we run Flash now on 2.2?

    and if so, where do you download it? Adobe is incredibly evasive about it on the web.

    Need to backup phone for factory reset & 2.1 -> 2.2 update. Suggestions?

    Hi, I'm going to have to wipe my phone (Samsung Intercept) because I temp rooted it and took off the crapware, now Sprint's froyo update is rejecting my phone due to its unstockyness. ;) Is it safe to use titanium backup (or something you might suggest) to restore apps to what is essentially...

    Root Shoot Me and temp root don't work

    I was trying to use Shoot Me w/ z4root to take a screenshot on my phone, and I get this message: "Failed starting server. Please check that you have ***ROOT*** access on your device and enable access to lower level graphics." It doesn't show up in the Superuser group either. I even tried...

    Dust under screen...Sprint fixed that!

    I normally don't have much nice to say about Sprint customer service, but I do this time. I had a little poof of dust under the glass on bottom-left corner of my Intercept screen so, as a goof, I took it to the Sprint store asking if they could fix (and fully expecting them to just look at me...

    Help Deleting pics on PC corrupted SD card...Normal for Android?

    I was deleting a couple pics (and their thumbnails) off my Samsung Intercept, and when I unplugged the phone, it said my "internal" sd card was corrupted. I assume they mean the one in the slot. I had to reformat, and I lost what little I had on there (a few pics, vids, my TigerArcade roms)...

    Changing smileys on SMS

    Ok I see I'm not the only one who's not a fan of the green android smileys. Using a 3rd party SMS app, will that give me standard (round and yellow) smileys? I was going to ask if it was possible to switch the smileys out on Intercept, but I see now it's a general android thing.......which...
