    Anyone else have issues w/slow power down times?

    SGS4 rooted & running stock ROM. I've noticed this for quite a while now (months) & it's been long enough that I can't quite put my finger on when it started to try to track down why. When I select power down it used to go to black screen & then a few seconds later the blue LED goes away...

    Root [Verizon] Root VZW I545 on 4.2 w/o Losing Data?

    Sorry for the rather n00bish question but I've been away from the root game for a while after years of being in it. I've been quite happy with my SGS4 since they came out but have finally come across a reason to root it and was wondering if a method existed to keep everything the way it is...

    How to create an entry in stock calendar w/o reminder alarm?

    I can't seem to find an option to NOT have a notification. If I click the + next to it I can modify how long before the event to send notification. If I click - then it disappears but the reminder is still there because I still get them 10min before the event which is my default. There HAS to...

    Anyone Have Luck Getting VZW to Give You Wirless Network Extender for Free?

    We just got three lines of service with VZW and three SGS4's. Upon getting home we quickly realized that VZW has squat for coverage at our house and get about 1 bar on the ground level. I'm sure that drops to 0 in the basement which is where I'll be spending a lot of time this winter watching...

    Help Bought Three SGS4's & 2 Don't have WiFi Toggle & 1 Does?

    Just curious if anyone else has seen this? It seems as though VZW has disabled this function (not sure why) for some reason. Well mine has it and one other toggle that the other two phones we got don't have. What the heck is the dealio? Would really like to get this on the other two if...

    Google Maps navigation voice guidance REALLY quiet??

    Anyone else run into this problem? I did some searching but all I can find for adjusting is that it shares the Media volume setting. Well, the media volume is maxed out so I'm not sure what other adjustments or changes I can make to increase the voice guidance volume because I can barely hear...

    Gmail notifications not notifying?

    I get hundreds of emails every day and I currently get a notification but no audio tone or vibrate as it would be going crazy. This is how I want my general email notifications set up. So that part is fine. What I do want however is for starred messages to play a tone/vibrate similar to my...

    Why do some of my Google calendar events show in my calendar & some don't?

    This is quite frustrating and I can't seem to find a solution to this. I have birthdays and anniversaries entered for my contacts which are sync'd to my phone as well. Most of the birthdays and anniversaries show up in my calendar on my phone but some don't. Doesn't appear to be any rhyme...

    Help Anyone know how to get the other Gallery to work on these phones?

    I'm talking about the one that has this logo: I think it's from the Desire but not 100% on that. I've used it on all my Android phones and all my ROMs and it's always been solid. Backed up my recovered file from my Evo 4G and it seemed as though it installed and everything was fine. But...

    Paypal: New Agreement Involves US Dept of Treasury Requirements?!?

    Anyone see that there's an update to the Paypal app that includes the following text: "Added new rules for check capture and add funds according to requirements from the US Department of Treasury." Wha?!? Does anyone know what these requirements specifically are? How does these...

    Help Black Screen: What to check before ordering a replacement screen?

    Pretty sure it's not software related because the phone was fine when I set it down and when I picked it up, nothing. I attempted a battery pull and nothing. The phone will give the quick vibrate when I power it up so I know it's got power and is powering normally and then the four buttons on...

    What do my wife & I have to go see while in Texas?

    My wife and I are going to Texas for our anniversary and have never been. We'll be flying into DFW & staying the night there. Then the next day we'll be in San Antonio with plans to see the Alamo (my buddy told me about an old hotel nearby we needed to find) and the Riverwalk. We'll be...

    Sean Peyton banned for 1 year, draft picks lost.

    I don't say this real often but I agree with you. I'm a pretty big dude and played football at most levels (not pro) and can tell you that the ONLY people in an uproar over this are people who have never played (if they did it was in Jr High and they stood on the sidelines) and can't understand...

    Sean Peyton banned for 1 year, draft picks lost.

    It is the point. This is the NFL and every single player getting paid millions to play knows full well the risk whenever they take the field and not just game-time against another team. Many careers are ended on the practice fields. It's a hard hitting, gladiator sport and men play it. Men...

    Sean Peyton banned for 1 year, draft picks lost.

    Maybe they should have picked baseball if they're worried about getting hit since EVERYONE is one hit away from a career ending injury in the NFL.
