    Help Small yellow band on screen

    I've noticed a small, vertical yellow rectangle ( 1cm x .3cm) in the upper left corner which is only visible on very light or white backgrounds. I've had the phone for about 6 weeks, and am fairly positive it wasn't there originally. Has anyone seen or heard about this?

    Help Radio bands supported on International model (US)

    I'm trying to ascertain exactly which bands my factory unlocked M8 supports, specifically with AT&T, in order to figure out why my LTE speeds are so low. Here are the original specs (it's s/off & SuperCID now): product: m8_ul_ca platform: hTCBmsm8974 modelid: 0P6B12000 cidnum: BS_US001 I can...

    Reading Google books in Amazon Kindle

    Apparently Play Books doesn't use epub format with paid books, so is there any way to convert and open them in Kindle? I know the files are kept in the system partition, but I was hoping there was a program or trick to do this.

    Free placing of icons on homescreen

    Is Lightning launcher my best bet for this? Any others? Does Desktop Visualizer allow this?

    I still don't understand Gmail...

    I have all of my POP3 accounts checked by Gmail so everything will show up in its app on my phone. Fine. But I just received an email and was reading it. The phone rang. I took the call, and when I pulled up Gmail again, the message was gone. It's most likely something I've set up wrong, but it...

    Selective gallery app

    Is there a good gallery app that allows you to specify which folders to scan? QuickPics lets you exclude folders, but I have lots of icon sets in separate folders and the exclusion option isn't recursive (but the automatic inclusion is, which is kinda annoying).

    Alternative for Comic Reader

    Now that Comic Reader has gone belly up, does anyone have a favorite comic strip app? I'm missing my daily dose of Doonesbury. ;-)

    Tapatalk is driving me crazy...

    Why is it that, when trying to edit a post, Tapatalk only shows a couple of lines of what you've just written, making it impossible to edit? Happens both with the regular and HD versions. Killing and reopening doesn't help. I'm not sure, but I think it happens more often when the post is the...

    Help LED Control?

    Has anyone gotten the LED control to work on a N10? I thought I could replace Light Flow with it, but maybe not.

    Play Store updates

    I do all of my updates manually because I like to see the details of the new versions. With my phone this works fine, but with the N10 all that shows are the permissions. There doesn't appear to be anything in Play's settings to control this. Or am I missing something?

    Help "PH39img.zip not found or missing" -- is this a problem?

    I've been Googling about this error and I'm inferring that I'm don't need to worry, but I'd like some confirmation from the experts. A brief summary: I used Hasoon2000's kit to unlock and root my Vivid (flashed the WCX recovery). That went fine. Now I'd like to experiment with custom ROMs, so...

    Setting wallpaper

    What's the proper way to set wallpaper so that max resolution is used? I've downloaded some great 2560x1600 images, but no matter if i use Gallery, QuickPic, my file explorer or the wallpaper option in Settings, I end up with a cropped & zoomed image that defeats the purpose of having a high...

    Root Tricking apps into thinking you're unrooted

    Time Warner Cable has an app that lets its customers stream content if they're on their home LAN. Trouble is it won't work if it detects that the device is rooted. Is there any way to spoof it to make it think I the device is not rooted ? An app, maybe? It would be sweet to be able to watch...

    USB/OTG adapter recommendation

    I need to get one but before I do I'd like to make sure it'll work with N10 (4.2.2) using StickMount. Any suggestions?

    Turning wifi off during sleep

    Has anyone done any testing to see if turning wifi off during sleep makes any appreciable difference with regards to battery life? I'd still like it to check for email so I'm wondering if I should just enable it all the time or let Juice Defender handle wifi.

    Help Calendar sync doesn't import appointments - SOLVED

    I have Calendar sync enabled and it shows that it syncs, but nothing gets imported. I have only one Google calendar and sync works on my HTC Vivid. I can't figure this out. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Later: okay, never mind, I got it sorted. I had to delete my Google account and add it...

    Lock screen with Tasker

    Is there a way to use Tasker to create a widget to lock the screen (instead of using the power button)? Or maybe with Secure Settings? I kinda see everything but. Maybe I'm overlooking something. I know I can with Widgetsoid, but I'd like to do it with Tasker if possible. I'm running JB 4.2.2...

    Rebooting with Widgetsoid

    I can't get this to work. SuperSU grants it permission, and when I click on the widget the toast says it will reboot, but nothing happens. Same thing with the rest of the choices except Hot Reboot which claims 'only for root users'. Huh? The phone is still S-ON. Does that make a difference...

    Root Google Now for ICS

    I rooted my phone yesterday using Hansoon2000's kit (WCX recovery + stock ICS). I found a thread at XDA for ARM7 devices, which I assume the Vivid is since the Raider is. The guide states that CVM should be installed as the recovery. Will I run into problems with WCX? If so, can I run the kit...

    Trouble with Secure Settings Installation

    This isn't about Tasker, per se, but kind of related, so I'm hoping you guys might have an answer. I rooted my phone yesterday (stock ICS). I wanted to add Helper to Secure Settings. It said I needed to install Busybox, so I did from the Store. But SS can't locate it so it doesn't think it's...

    Apex Pro Launcher Dock Icons

    I've been playing around with Apex Pro this morning, and I'm finding that, if I change the icons in the dock, they don't stick when I go back in and out of settings. Is this a known issue? Sent from my HTC-39100 via Tapatalk

    ICS stock browser & notification bar

    I don't use the browser much on my Vivid and would be content with just the stock one in ICS except for one annoying thing -- the notification bar keeps bobbing up and down. I've looked for a setting to keep it locked (or eliminate it all together), but there didn't seem to be one. I'm using...

    Using a running service as a context

    I use Airdroid's widget to start its service when I connect to my PC. When connected I'd like the display timeout to extend to 10 minutes. It's easy enough to do if I run the app and set it as the context, but the widget only calls the service. Is there a way to have the service as the context?

    Opening internet shortcut with Tasker

    Is there a way to create a task that will open an internet (Dolphin) shortcut? I was thinking " open file " but not sure if there were a way to make that work.
