    s5 Battery situation in 2019 (ANKER no longer available!)

    So, I am still rocking the s5. Not only that, but everyone in the household is, due to my recommendation, which was/is in turn due to the replaceable battery, good LineageOS support, accessories (OtterBox cases, etc.) available, etc... So, I went looking for another battery recently, only to...

    Are Samsung Galaxy s5 still being made/manufactured?

    I am seeing a lot of (allegedly) New In Box s5s on eBay for around $170.00. But where are they getting them? I do not think they are being made any longer. I might be willing to pay that, if I knew i would be getting an actual OEM charger, battery, etc. but there is no guarantee of that, as it...

    Phone is Galaxy s5, running CM 12.1 (Android 5.1.1) and has 16GB internal storage. Which was filling up rapidly, so I went out and purchased an additional 32GB Micro SD card. I didn't have time to mess with it, so I just stuck it in the phone and went about my business. So then I was getting...

    Getting Android Wifi Tether to work on Samsung Galaxy Exhibit

    OK, so I have decided to go the "rooted but no CM / other ROM" route, for the time being. One thing I really need is wifi tether, as I use my phone constantly for laptop in truck and also for my Nook Tablet. The latter meaning that I cannot use ad-hoc mode. So I started playing with this today...

    Hybrid case WITHOUT KICKSTAND for LG Motion 4g?

    I have been searching high and low (eBay, Amazon, and Google) for a hybrid case (hard plastic inner, silicone outer) WITHOUT a kickstand, but no such animal seems to exist. What I am trying to do is perform a case mod to accommodate an extended battery (cut the factory back cover and the hard...

    Is Metro finally blocking wifi tether? (update: YES!)

    The last couple weeks I have had problems browsing the web via wifi tether. The app comes up on the phone, I get the ul/dl numbers, my PC finds and hooks up to the hotspot, but then I can't seem to get any http traffic. I can get google results, but when I click on them to go to a page, or enter...

    As stated in the title, I got a call today (missed it actually, I was out of my truck at the time) from "METRO PCS" at 888-863-8768. I was thinking maybe they were just going to give some recording with a promotional offer, maybe another message from Snoop, something like that... but then no...

    Root "removed throttling" listed as one of the goodies in custom ROM?

    Does that mean what I think it means? That we will be able to get higher up/down LTE data rates? If so, GIDDY! :D

    Help GPS not working?

    Since I got my brand new Indulge, I don't think the GPS has ever worked. I even turned on WiFi, and let it sit on my dashboard (with a good view of the sky) for a good long while, but still nothing. Well, this is what it actually does: The little crosshairs will actually come up in the...

    Greetings from sunny Florida!

    Hai guise! :D I am (hopefully) soon to be the proud owner of a shiny new LG Optimus M! Like any savvy shopper (or one who has been burned before by major telco / corporation marketing / "promises", lol), I have been doing a lot of research before I purchase. And of course that has led me...
