    Help Two stock browser issues, anyone help?

    The first is that I have to double tap a page no matter what the settings, in order to get text to wrap. Is there any way to make it auto wrap? The second is useragent. You can select 'desktop' in debug, but you can't create a custom useragent, and the desktop useragent doesn't work on all...

    Jelly Bean browser settings doing nothing.

    Default zoom doesn't do anything, even when set to override a page's zoom permissions. Always starts every new page zoomed all the way out. And setting it to format pages to fit the screen also does nothing. No word wrapping or anything. This is on a galaxy nexus. Anyone know what's up?

    Help calendar is annoying, any way to change format?

    This is the unlocked gsm nexus, and even with smooth calendar, it still uses the same backbone calendar, which is this really dumb grid with hours for rows, instead of having a normal calendar layout. I typically set reminders on my calendar as a general 'this is the day I do this' type of...

    gmaps alternative, and offline radio player needed.

    I'm going offline with my phone outside of wifi, and google maps limits how much you can cache, so what would everyone say the best free alternative is? Also, I need a radio station that can be cached for offline use, also for free (unlike slacker). Or zradio which is also not free, and...

    [Verizon] An s3 rom or one with popout video player?

    Wonder if there's a rom to make the nexus like the s3, or if the popout vid player is a jellybean feature or what? I just know I want that popout video player.

    I ordered the gsm version from google, Put in the sim card and battery without incident. Hit power, nothing. Plugged it in, no charge light or indicator. Hit power while plugged in, nothing. Does it have to charge for a while with NO indication of what's going on before it can be used? Or...

    best processor for snesoid n64oid etc?

    Anyone know what processor available for android tablets or phones runs the most snes games at full speed, you know, like starfox at full, mario kart without crashing, etc? I guess better tests might be ps1 games and n64, but any info works for me. I assume tegra 2 is the bomb, but I'm looking...

    Root Possible to change ESN and activate as non-smartphone?

    When my contract is up, I'd rather not carry around another phone plus the incredible to be able to surf over wifi and make calls, but that's Verizon's only solution for people who no longer want their data plans. From what I've read, the problem with activating a smartphone is the ESN will...

    Root clockwork mod restore not fully restoring.

    For some reason, certain things aren't being restored. Date says I last backed up is tomorrow, obviously impossible. However, I did do a backup last night. Tried to factory reset and that just made htc brilliant flash at me. Only fix was to use clockwork mod restore, but it's not restoring...

    Help Phone can reboot itself, but I can't reboot it?

    Is there a way to reboot the phone instead of shutting off, waiting, then turning it back on? Seems I have to do this for my battery to last since froyo, so hoping I can make the process easier.

    I've got this annoyance with my inc, where sometimes even while on my home screen it pops up a captcha that I have to input in order to do anything else. It really is a splinter in my mind. I don't care if using market or gmail might result in this, and it does happen rarely, but I want to...

    Root anyway to downgrade radio or turn down power consumption?

    seems like anything using 3g drains my battery. slacker player saps 30% of a 2600mah battery in a single hour. If I were to be conservative, it would be 25% of a 2200mah, accounting for other parts of the phone and possibly a low quality battery. Even then, that's horrible. It didn't used to...

    Root So if the OTA doesn't require wipe, why would a rom that's based off it?

    I feel really dumb just asking this, but I don't want to wipe anything and I don't want a separate radio install. I'd like to get root, do s-off, and do one rom flash or whatever that updates me to 2.2 and let's me get on with my life. Someone linked to a rom that said it was based on the real...

    I want the hulu app to work, apparently newest leak it does not. I can do root and s-off, don't want to go through backing up apps and restoring. Want the most stable 2.2. Needs verizon's 3g hotspot working. Doesn't need sense. What rom do I need, and what are the steps to getting this...
