    Changes

    I know the subject is vague but it bothers me that finding the right words are more challenging than ever. Honestly I think that there is a conspiracy amongst companies but this conspiracy is a little like the so called " deep state " ( I think ) because it seems to me that as it develops...

    Approximate used value?

    My S5 is about one year old ( replacement phone #4 from Verizon ) It looks new. Assuming that it works perfectly what might it be worth on the used market? Will " factory reset " erase all data or is there an app I can get that WIPES my data? Thanks

    Stylo 2 Verizon

    I got my Stylo 2 in Nov 2016 and there were problems immediately. Two weeks later Verizon gave me a grand new Stylo 2 in exchange for the one I had. It seemed that the new phone was free of the issues and it was obvious that it had a newer production number and came with more apps ( not...

    Phone Issue and....

    I just posted in android help with this subject : Android app or software? The question was about a program I was told would pull " EVERYTHING " off of my Gal 5 and download it to my PC. That said I have 10 days left on my extended warranty on the Samsung so I want to get those files, photo's...

    Unlocking desire 510

    :rolleyes:I purchased this phone from Boost. I was told that I allowed too much time to elapse from when my monthly ran out to have Boost help me unlock the phone. They now suggest that I reactivate inorder to unlock. That would cost about 45 bucks. It doesn't seem to make sense especially with...

    What happened to Edward Snowden?

    Ever notice how certain high profile stories suddenly disappear? Are there any high profile stories in the news that seem to have suddenly disappeared? Talk about ADD or ADHD. How is it so easy to forget some of this stuff? Are we ( as a country and a culture ) only interested in what is on...

    CSI CYBER

    Has anyone watched this new version of CSI? Any truth in what they can and can't do? It's interesting that on the show there is no problem they can't solve while in real time the FBI can't get into an iPhone. Makes people go: hmmmmm

    Root Evo 4 G from long ago

    I'll probably need to look for old posts so I can say which nam? I used. But this was an Eco4 G set up to work on Boost. It actually worked great but memory warnings and a 99 dollar price eventuly had me switch to the Desire. That was a disaster. But like the Desire that I wrote about elsewhere...

    Help HTC Desire no carrier

    This phone was on Boost. After having the phone in repair for 6 weeks I moved on to Verizon and Samsung. But this HTC is brand new since old phone could could not be repaired. I'd like to use the Desire in my house with WiFi. But it seems to have a memory record of being a Boost phone. I removed...

    Avoiding KitKat

    When my 5S was updated to KitKat the battery life was decreased by more than 50% My Tab S bugs me to update to KitKat and I continue to avoid it. Reading the page of notes that comes with the prompting to update to KitKat it reminds me of reading the side effects of certain drugs. The side...

    Help Evo 4G rooted but no longer connected to a service

    I originally tried posting this in the rooted forum but when I tried to post I was signed out and when I looked for the rooted forum I couldn't seem to find it so I posted her. It is in near perfect condition. It's connected to my network and all the apps seem to work except the one I would...

    How and When it all started

    There may not be an exact answer to this question. It is possible that so much time has gone by that we have all become so accustomed to the way things are that the point of my inquiry will not be understood. I think that in our life-time significant changes happen that if noticed as what...

    Root The 510 vs model numbers

    It seemed time for a change. I was just about to change carriers but when I went in to pay my Boost monthly the kid behind the counter was excited to show me the 510 Desire I saw that it was an HTC and he quickly ran the numbers by me but what probably sold me more than the price was the fact...

    Root "Low on space" again and again

    I actually wrote about this in the past. Managing apps, deleting apps have always worked to make that annoying reminder go away. But it's back again. My last move was to delete a couple of large apps which worked for 6 months or so. I haven't downloaded any new apps but what I'm wondering...

    How would we ever know?

    With all the talk about who's watching who in our country; I don't read much about who's watching us from other places? I've heard stories about hackers turning on camera's and watching people who have no idea that they are being watched. How would they know? If the blue light on my laptop...

    Hey Crew, Been lost in space for a while and while out there stuff started happening to the EVO. After typing the subject I saw that several others used the same subject and one actually asked about the same issue: spontaneous boot on and boot off. I read the other Evo entry. It didn't...

    Root Can we be objective about our phones?

    Happy 5th of July all: Was wondering if it is possible to be objective about our phones? I can say for sure that I WANT to really love my Evo but without using someone else's Evo how can I ever know about the quality of the call or the responsiveness of the functions? Someone recently...

    I love the way this site notices what my subject is and then presents me with a few choices that might answer my questions and i did find a great link with video clips and more. That said, i'm thinking that i would much rather up the size of the card now if it is not a big deal to do some...

    Root Battery issues again

    That this forum presents us with post that may address our issues is a good thing. Sometimes that means a lot of reading which i am willing to do. That said i thought that i would start this thread by asking if these battery issues on my rooted EVO 4G apply only to rooted phones or would they...

    HTC EVO Thunderbolt and ?

    Can I use a Thunderbolt for spare parts for my EVO 4G? Is there any part of the Thunderbolt that is interchangeable with my EVO and is actually an upgrade in some way? I'm thinking speakers front and rear.

    Seperate thread for this issue but it may be related to my battery issue? After 3 months with one choice of wall paper I decided to change. I heard that active wallpaper uses more juice than conventional so I picked one that I liked. First thing I noticed is that my desktop choices did not...
