    Hey guys I waited for two weeks to flash a custom rom on this phone and when I flashed it I forgot to do a backup. How do I get the rom back to stock with all of the T-Mobile crap on it? I already looked it up but all the tutorials seem to return the phone back to stock but not the T-Mobile...

    Please Help!

    I found a really good offer on Craigslist for the HTC One and I really want to get it except I don't know what I'd have to do to get it up and running on T-Mobile's network. Would I have to unlock it or something or do all I need to do is a pop a new sim card in. I also want to be able to get...

    Root Improving sound quality?

    Is there any way to improve the way music is played back through headphones? I have an iPod touch and it sounds waaaaaaay better than my phone. Is there any way to make my phone sound like the iPod? I've tried DSP manager but it didn't work, maybe I was just using it wrong. thanks!

    Root Can't root vv4 on my replacement phone

    I got a replacement phone with vv4 on it, and all of the previous root methods no longer work. I knew vv4 was unrootable so I knew what was coming. I guess I'll be stuck with all the metro bloatware until I get a new a phone. This new update does include quickmemo, that's cool I guess. Anyone...

    Galaxy Note II

    You guys think it's possible for metro to release it? It's being released in all major carriers just like the S3. I know I would get this phone in an instant instead of the S3

    Why no love for iPhone?

    Am I the only one here who likes iPhones? If the iPhone came to metro (and Apple wasn't being an asshole and suing everyone) I'd probably buy it. Maybe I'm saying this because I've never actually used an Android device with ICS or higher but texting is all I do. And texting on the iPhone is...

    Battery temperature?

    How's the battery temperature on this phone on average? The S4 pprocessor should be pretty cool. What temperature does it get when you're on 4G?

    Help Keyboard battery problems

    What do you guys think about the battery drain cause by keyboards? Do you guys think it'll actually cause a battery drain or is it just a glitch? I've heard both so I want to hear what the majority of you think about it. I really want Swiftkey but I don't want it to drain my battery!

    Root Have you flashed CWM? Read this.

    DO NOT DO A FACTORY RESET THROUGH THE SETTINGS APP. Recently I've seen multiple posts about people getting stuck in recovery so that must mean there isn't a warning about that. Consider this official warning then! A lot of you already know about this error but there are still a lot of people who...

    I'm scared

    Today I was texting my best friend and I sent her a picture. As soon as my 4G icon came on, my phone started making a very low static sound. (For those of you that don't know what that is, watch this TV Static effect - YouTube ) The sound went on for about three seconds. Then my 4G icon...

    Root Old baseband

    My baseband says it's the baseband from February 22 but I'm pretty sure I've seen a baseband from April 15 on the same phone. Why did it go back down? All I did was flash the stock ZVA backup from Gadget Lovers, but I'm pretty sure that the ZVA update was the update that added the new baseband...

    Help Texts get cutoff

    So my texts get cutoff. When people send me a text over 160 characters it gets split into parts and I only get the first part. I know this is a MetroPCS issue because MetroPCS service is horrible, lol. Is there any chance that it could just be my phone? And if it is a MetroPCS issue does anyone...
