    Camera app which allows custom storage location

    I'm looking for a camera app where I can set a custom storage folder. So far I've only been able to find ones that allow you to choose between the SD card or internal storage but I want to choose a completely different folder. The reason for this is I take photos of stuff at work a lot just to...

    Recently my S5 has started having problems staying connected to wifi networks. It's constantly dropping and reconnecting.

    Help Vibrate/Ringer issues after Kit Kat update

    Ever since my phone updated to Kit Kat last week it's been doing a couple of weird things. Overall it's working much better (better battery life for sure!) but these things are an annoyance. I've made a post for each issue. The second thing it does is when I'm at work and have the phone set...

    Root To root or not to root?

    I have a Droid Razr Maxx HD that I have been having some problems with so am deblating on rooting it. I've reset the phone several times, and sometimes the issues go away for a bit but never for good and I'm getting tired of it. I'm wondering how many of these a root would help with and if you...

    Help Galerry displaying system images

    I just got a replacement phone and copied the data folder from internal memory of my old phone to this one. Now the gallery is displaying all these thumbnails and other system images.

    NFC/SmartActions

    I just got some NFC tags and set one up, works great! My only question is, does enabling things with NFC, prevent Smart Actions from enabling/disabling features? For example, the NFC tag I made is for car mode, it turns on bluetooth, turns off wi-fi, and turns on vehicle mode. I also have a...

    Help Homescreen crashing when using NovaLauncher

    I've recently started using NovaLauncher to help with homescreen lag issues post-jb update. It works great, except for one small thing that's really just a nuisance.

    Usb otg?

    I ordered a USB OTG cable, and am wondering if there's any apps that will allow me to browse the contents of an SD card without having the phone rooted. All the ones I've found seem to require rooting (some say they don't, but then it doesn't work)

    Live wallpaper suggestions

    I'm looking for a live wallpaper that changes with the time of day. I used to use the one that was blades of grass and sky while on ICS, but after upgrading to JB I lost it. I would prefer a free one (def w/o adds) but one for a $1 or so would be considered.

    Help Screenshot on JB

    Since updating to JB I'm finding it hard to take a screenshot. I know the button combo is (or was on ICS at least) power + volume down. Now I press them and most of the time the volume is just lowered, no screenshot taken. Tried pressing them together, one then the other, but no change. Feel...

    Help SD Card & Media using battery

    These apps are using all my battery power sometimes. Here are two screenshots, taken about 30 mins apart as you can see. I barely used my phone at all between these two but the battery dropped from 82% to 75%. You can see that Media & SD card are using about 25% each. Why is this so high??

    My phone was installing an update when I dropped it and the battery fell out. I turned it back on and it appeared to resume the update and finish (showed the little Droid guy and the box with a loading bar), but now it just loads to the bootloader screen.
