    Forums blocked on corporate network

    This just started happening today at a place I'm working at and connecting to their corporate guest wifi. Only the forums are being blocked (as malware) not the main site. I don't have access to IT here to inquire about it but perhaps management could look into why the forums might be blocked. I...

    Help Forums app crashing

    Don't know if anyone's minding the store here these days, but I'll try anyway- The last couple of days the Forums app crashes every time I open it so it is currently unusable. I've cleared data and started over, it's ok until I log in and it loads the forums then it crashes again. I know the...

    Issue with latest forum redesign

    So it looks like there was a change in the forum layout a few days ago. Previously I had the main page set to show the threads with new posts in my favorite forums only. Now, after this recent change, I can't see how to do that any more. The new posts showing up include ones in forums that are...

    Scam Blocking now available on Metro and T-Mobile

    If you have Metro (also T-Mobile) you may be seeing calls with a "Scam Likely" caller ID. These are calls that have been identified as probable scam or marketing calls by the provider before they get to your phone. What's great is there is now a way to block all of these calls from your phone...

    Tapatalk issues

    There's a problem with the latest version of Tapatalk (6.3). It is unceremoniously removing your followed forums- open a forum from the list to browse, go back to the list and all your other forums are gone. Looking at the play store reviews, this is happening for a lot of users. What's strange...

    Solved-Problem with GSam Battery Monitor

    I've had GSam on my S5 for a while (SM-G900T1, 4.4.2 rooted) along with the GSam Root Companion. The last time I used it (don't recall how long ago that was but not that recently) it worked fine. I just tried to use it today and it briefly opens to a blank screen than FC's. I tried the usual...

    Help Problem with Android Forums app

    Just started having this problem today, wonder if it's affecting anyone else- When I try to open some threads in the app, the thread will fail to load and the app will close. It seems random, some threads will open normally and others will make it crash. Example- this thread will cause a FC...

    Combined root sections

    I see that all the separate "All Things Root" sections for each device are now combined into a single forum. Not sure I'm a fan of that, it seems more confusing and will make it difficult to find relevant posts for each variant of a given device. Also unless I'm missing something there was no...

    NYC LTE Speeds

    Saw 90+MB download from a NYC tower last night, I was impressed. Also got 50MB at home which is usually 20-30. Gotta love those upgrades.

    Browsing Best Buy and came across this, thought I'd post it for anyone thinking about a GS4- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/metropcs-samsung-galaxy-s-4-4g-no-contract-cell-phone-white/1460138.p?id=1219052017274&skuId=1460138 Doesn't say how long the sale lasts but that's a great deal, especially...

    Images on Engadget

    Apparently the recent updates to the Engadget app have disabled images for those of us running adblockers. Globally disabling the adblock just for this is not an acceptable solution, but it should be possible to fix it by whitelisting the appropriate server that hosts the images. Does anyone...

    Titanium Backup- force-close problem with latest update

    This applies to version 6.1.5, released 12/27/13. After updating, TB will force-close whenever an app is selected from the backup/restore list. This seems to be happening for most if not all people who have updated to this version, as seen by the large number of reviews reporting the issue. For...

    Well I'll make the first post in here to confirm that Motochopper works on the Metro variant of this phone as well as the others. I rooted mine in about 30 seconds, fastest and smoothest device root I've done so far.

    F3 on MetroPCS

    Anyone have one on Metro yet? Seriously thinking about this phone but would like to see some real-world reports from other Metro users. Spec-wise it looks like a good GSM replacement for my Motion, only downside I can see is the lower internal storage. Hopefully that can be addressed by...
