    Help Horrible battery life

    I have a Galaxy S4 from Telus (Canadian carrier). For the past few months, my battery life has been absolutely terrible. I'm not rooted, running Android 4.4.2 What I've tried: Factory reset, keeping bluetooth and GPS off, wifi off unless I'm home. I ran the phone without any apps installed for...

    Repligo discontinued

    I had to factory reset my tablet (Samsung Note 8.0) and lost Repligo. I didn't realize that it had been discontinued, and now I can't get it back (I've tried several different PDF viewers, but Repligo does exactly what I need without annoying bugs or unwanted features to clutter my screen). I've...

    Help Multiple issues with N7, help needed

    My son's 2012 N7 has been causing problems for a while. We didn't install the latest update (which was probably a mistake). He's got really bad lag issues, which I think could be fixed or at least somewhat fixed by deleting a bunch of apps, but he's an app hoarder. I'm sure the update would help...

    Help setting default apps

    I'm having a problem on both my Note 8.0 and my S4, so I'm thinking this is a Samsung problem. Wondering if anyone has any experience with it, as it is driving me nuts and I really don't want to root. I do have experience with rooting, but I won't do it on a device that is still under warranty...

    Bricked

    I don't know what to do here. I have successfully rooted my phone (Samsung t-989) in the past, then unrooted and went back to stock when Telus released the JB update. Decided I liked it better rooted. First thing that went wrong is that I tried TWRP and it failed when I tried to Odin. Three...

    CWM Touch Recovery issues

    I am trying to use CWM Touch recovery from this link: CWM.TOUCH.RECOVERY.6.0.2.8.tar The problem I'm running into is that when I install a rom, when I get to the step to wipe user data, all of the options are "no". Is anyone else having this problem?

    Flash!

    My only complaint with the ROM I'm using (cyanogen 10 stable) is that it didn't include the Flash apk. Does anyone know where I can find it? I know it isn't supported on JB, but I find it so annoying not to have it, considering that I had it before I rooted and flashed ;)

    Cases

    I bought two of the Acer a110 as gifts for my kids. I'm looking for cases and screen protectors for them. Has anyone seen any yet? I would prefer a cover to a sleeve.

    now that I'm rooted and flashed...

    I rooted my T989, and flashed Infamous Resurrection, which I like so far. A couple of questions though... There's an icon at the top that says "wi-fi calling error ER05 invalid SIM card". I can make telephone calls just fine. My network doesn't support wi-fi calling as far as I know. Is there...

    nandroid backup

    Okay, I rooted my phone yesterday, and have picked out a ROM to flash (oddly I'm more nervous about flashing than I was about rooting). I used Titanium Backup to back EVERYTHING up, and copied it to my PC. My question is this: in the ROM guide, it says to make sure that you have done a...

    back up app data without root?

    Is there any way to back up my app data (specifically game progress) without having to root my device? I don't want to root yet because I'm still under warranty and don't want to void it. I'm running an Asus Transformer Prime TF201 with Jellybean, and ever since the update, it has been laggy...

    Overdrive Media Console - need help!

    I love audiobooks, because it means I can knit and stimulate my brain at the same time. I borrowed an audiobook from my library, and they use Overdrive Media Console. It is a popular app, and most libraries use it. The only problem I have is that you can't download audiobooks directly to your...

    working out

    I have a Samsung Galaxy s2, and I bought an armband for working out. I hate it. What do you keep your phone in to listen to music while you run or work out at the gym? I'm crafty, so homemade options are possible too.

    An app for knitters

    I found an iPhone app that I'd love to see for Android. I'm a knitter, and I mostly knit charted lace. I use my tablet (Asus Transformer Prime) for my patterns, but it is hard to keep my place in complex charts. Here's the iPhone app... knitCompanion - Join the Knitting Revolution! I...

    ebook readers that read aloud?

    Is there any such thing as an app that can read epub books aloud? I know that Audible is an option, but it is for audiobooks - I don't believe it can read epub or pdf files. I am a crafter, and I'm finding that my craft time is using up all of my reading time, so it would be nice to find an...

    Pirates of the Caribbean: master of the seas

    My whole family has been enjoying this game for the past week. There are three Android devices in the house (tablet and two phones) and one (icky) iPhone. The game updated three times today, and now none of the Android devices can recover the game. I'm pretty choked, and my kids are really...

    Galaxy SII X?

    I have no idea what the right forum is for my phone! I have a Samsung Galaxy SII X from Telus (in Canada). As far as I know, Telus is the only carrier with this phone, at least under this name. I guess it is possible that other carriers have the same phone under a different name... if so, I'd...

    Uninstalling documents to go

    I want to uninstall Documents to Go... since it is only good for viewing word, excel and power point files. I never use those on my phone, but I DO view PDFs, which I would have to buy the full version to view... Since I'm not paying that much to use an app and it is not an app that can be...
