    Help Excessive Android System Time?

    Seems my battery might be discharging a little quicker than it should. I am rooted not that it likely matters as other than VPN and ad block not much use of it. Below are shots where it dropped about 3% in my pocket for an hour. Maybe I am being over sensitive but never hurts to check, but I...

    Assign Drive Letter to Internal Storage?

    I can manually transfer most files using the MTP and the pseudo drive it creates. But does anyone know if there is a way to map it or pretend it is a real drive? I use Calibre for EBook management and would be alot easier for the wife if we could allow it to do the work. Right now it is...

    Help MP4 Bit Rate Support?

    So my current phone, Droid X does not like the higher bit rate files. Do we know of any issues or upper limit for the GS3? For example I encoded an mp4 video at 720p with about 3200 bit rate. The DX does not sync the audio worth a dam. Does anyone with an S3 know how well it handles these or...

    Safe2Switch

    I can't get to the site from work, so have no idea if this is on all S3s in the states or just a new version you have to buy. Not even sure if the website has any details on that yet. Anyone hear about this?

    Root [International] tun.ko for VPN

    Folks, has anyone checked if the kernel module comes standard or do we need to wait for someone to compile one for aftermarket VPN apps to work? Ironically I just got my DX VPN working for work and now I am looking to move on from it.

    Root ROMS for that work with 621

    Was wondering what ROMS I can use now that I flashed to 621 then over to 604 the Ntel build. When I was having a few issues I tried to flash MIU and got stuck in bootloader so was wondering if there are any that work and what they are or what to look for.

    Root 621 ->604 had signal, after reboot no service

    So I wanted the new radio so I SBFed to 621, then booted to Linux and SBFed to 604 the Milestone. Rebooted a few times last night all was well. This morning I rebooted, and came up no signal. I am at a loss as to why or what I can do to correct this. I can't even get into the "About Phone"...

    Win7 or Win8 on hacked to it?

    Is there any information on if this thing can run windows as well in a dual boot? I am considering a tablet but honestly see no point with out windows.

    Root Go Launcher update and GB 595 Deodexed

    So an update came out today and I could not do much of anything. Market wouldn't launch, it kept locking up and restarting. I finally got to where I could from inside itself uninstall go launcher and everything is stable again. Any ideas on what is going on? Any others having this issue?

    Root Car Dock Icon Even When Removed

    I recently flashed to 595 and the car dock icon once I put it in the dock only goes away on a reboot. I so far can't even find what process is driving it as I killed the ones named dock. I have also since added in a no dock and set it as my default and still does it. Any one have any ideas...

    Accessories Rare Earth Magnets for mounting

    So far I have had nothing but fail with any adhesive for holding a mount in place. I am hesitant to drill the dash but I am thinking of taking this one part off my Jeep Unlimited off, and adding under it a rare earth magnet. I can calculate the pull force at distance easy, see calculator...

    So far I can't get any of them to import books. It seems to me they are trying to find the books on the 8gb internal, and ignoring the SD card. I have tried Aldiko, Wordplayer and a few more that are decently rated and no go for pulling in books. Any one found a way or an app that works for...
