    Root is my intercept already rooted?

    I'm a semi-newbie to this stuff but recently when my 2.2 update failed I had to start reading the forums and now I am curious! I'm thinking of rooting my intercept. But first I read that rooting will allow for apps to sd and tethering and pinch to zoom as some of the main reasons to do it. So...

    Battery Life reduced with Froyo 2.2 update

    I recently got the Froyo 2.2 update on my Samsung Intercept and, contrary to what everyone else says, I have noticed a significant reduction in my battery life. I used to have half to a fourth of the battery left at the end of the night and now it goes from 15% to 5% to dead within 20 minutes...

    Help snapping text to windows

    When my Intercept had 2.1 and I enlarged the page and text, I would only have to scroll up and down to view, say a newspaper article. Since 2.2, I now have to scroll up and down as well as left and right. Any solutions? I am using the browser that came with the phone.

    Forum split

    There are now 2 separate Intercept forums, one for Sprint and one for Virgin Mobile. After the Sprint 2.2 release, there was too much confusion as to which phone the upgrade applied to. This should alleviate that problem. Since the phones are almost identical, I would hope that the more...
