    Verizon Galaxy S8 Portable battery charger doesn't work with Galaxy S8

    Hi. I have a ZeroLemon Y594 SolarJuice charger. It's very cool and still works well. It works well on my tablet, my Galaxy Note 4, etc. I recently got a Galaxy S8 for work. When I try to charge it using the ZeroLemon charger, it cycles through activating and sending an initial charge to the...

    Replacement for My Tracks

    I'm very disappointed that My Tracks will not continue working after the end of April. It does a great job for what I need. There are other apps that do some similar things, but none that quite do what I'm looking for. Specifically, I export my bike rides, runs, etc to a Google Drive...

    Physical keyboard causes Note 8 to change default virtual keyboard

    So, I recently picked up a cheap little BT physical keyboard. It works fine, with the only problem being exactly what the author of this article describes. tl/.dr: When I use the physical keyboard the Note changes the default virtual keyboard to the Samsung built-in one, rather than my chosen...

    Multi window and My Tracks app

    Hi. I recently got a Verizon S3 and I've (1) rooted it using the Casual rooter, (2) installed the Samsung Multi Window Manager by BJB, Inc., and (3) patched the phone using the i939 patch (since apparently *any* patch will work on this phone). I might be unclear on what I should expect, so I'd...

    App for when phone is docked

    I have an Evo 3D, stock except for rooting (a pretty big "except", I know). When I put it in the desk dock, the standard Sense dock app appears. I find this app next to useless. Does anyone have any recommendations for a different app to load when the phone is docked? I've tried searching...

    Text messages not auto-deleting properly

    I have set the stock messaging app to keep 75 text messages for each user. For some reason, once that 75 message point is exceeded, it only deletes the incoming messages. My replies are kept, and the total number goes above 75 indefinitely until I delete the long tail of my replies at the top...

    Spooky car dock action!

    I have an Evo 3D and an iGrip PerfektFit Charging Dock. I've noticed something interesting and odd. This dock has a little microUSB plug on the bottom that charges the phone and, I thought, puts the phone into "dock mode". I put it in the doc, the car dock app (Car Home Ultra, in my case)...

    Wifi - very long delays acquiring IP address

    I have an Evo 3D, stock, that's having problems connecting to my Cisco WAP610N. For some reason, it takes about 15 minutes or so-- the time varies. It seems to get stuck at acquiring an IP address. No other wifi enabled devices have the problem, and I have no problem connecting this to other...

    Airdroid - please try!!!

    I don't think I've ever posted a comment quite like this before. I've done reviews, questions, concerns, "stay away", etc. This time, though, I'd just like to encourage everyone to try an app. It's still in beta and yet manages to be excellent. The app is Airdroid. Airdroid is sort of a...

    3-button inline remote headphones on Android

    So, apparently there are 2 general types of inline remotes on headphones-- 1 button and 3 button. I have a pair of the 1-button type-- the Klipsch Image s2m IEMs. They seem to do just fine. Now, on the 3-button sort, I seem to regularly see very clear iDevice labeling and packaging-- "Made...

    Autoreplacing text in SMS/MMS

    Does any sort of definable autoreplace capability exist in the stock SMS/MMS app? For example, I might type, "tyvm" and it would automatically turn into "thank you very much". Does this exist, or can it be done somehow? I'm open to other SMS/MMS apps if they're able to do that.

    MMS/SMS app returns to "wrong" message

    So, a strange problem. I get text messages from my bank for various reasons. I also get text messages from folks I know. So, let's say I have a conversation via text and then hit "home". Then, I decide to re-read a text message. I hold the "home" button and select the texting app from the 8-app...

    Changing pictures shown in dock photo frame

    I recently got a Seidio dock for my Evo 3D and have been playing with dock mode. One nifty option is the photo frame. One problem, though... I have various pictures (Elmo, bears, flowers) that my 2.5 year old niece demands to see from time to time, and while I have no dislike of the honorable...

    "Home" and "Search" keys not working.

    A strange problem that I've had 5 times now in 2 weeks with my phone: If I am in an app and I press the "home" button, it does not take me home; rather, it simply remains in the app or screen that I'm currently in. For example, this morning when I first turned on the phone, it was in the...

    "Home" button does not return home

    Updating CM ROMs

    I'm using cm_encore_full-18 on my NC. There have been a number of nightly updates. I'm unclear on how updates work. I can go though the whole process again, of course, and overwrite everything. However, I see references from time to time to updating the ROM. Does that require an update.zip...

    Connecting to company wifi

    So, I have CM build 18 on my NC, with Android 2.3.3. I can connect to my home wifi with no problems; however, when I try to connect at work, it fails. There's nothing informative in the failure message. A friend here has a Samsung Galaxy S. He can connect with no problem. I duplicated his...

    Reading magazines on CM'd NC

    I have installed the most recent nightly build of CyanogenMod on my Nook Color. I've also installed the Nook app. I've gotten back the books that I bought from B&N, but the magazines are not there. I'm missing something, apparently... How do I get the magazines back? Thanks.

    Some oddities with QuickOffice on NC

    I installed QuickOffice through the Android Market. I thought I'd post a few observations. 1) For whatever reason, even after multiple restarts of the device, QuickOffice does not appear in "Extras". The only way I know to open it is to go into the Market, to Downloads, and to select "Open"...
