    New Android-user [Nexus 7]

    Although I am happy to see that you are excited with your new android tablet(and looking forward to a phone) I have to call you out on your description of HTC devices. In the Android community it's pretty well known that HTC has excellent build quality. I'm not sure if it's one of their selling...

    Rom w/ google now

    You should be able to download it from the play store regardless of the rom. Just install google search. It may work better on on certain roms depending on the base. I've used it on cm9 and cm10 based roms a number of times

    Re: sporadic service with skyrocket, someone please help. AT&T said they have no idea what is wrong I've seen people post this issue with unlocked phones in the past. Have you tried a different SIM card? Or have you messed around with your apn's at all?

    Just a few questions...

    Googles servers will automatically backup data belonging to Gapps(Google Apps) as long as you have permitted them to do so. For example, when you sync your contacts with google as long as you sign in using your Google account info all those contacts will re-populate. As the previous poster said...

    apps seem to auto open

    No bud, you either misunderstood me or just chose to twist my words. First off, that is why I choose to modify my device. It becomes evident pretty quickly after you first boot up your phone that the manufacturer and the carrier figure they're gonna help you out, you know, get you started and...

    apps seem to auto open

    I have to disagree with you about rooting your device. When carriers and manufacturers toss in tons of bloat that takes up space and other precious resources there is really only one option..... Root. Not only can I control what's on my phone, but also where it resides and how it works. And as...

    Rooting & Undelete

    I'm confused. Did you not sync your contacts with your Google account? Can't u go into settings-->accounts and choose to sync your contacts with google? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

    Some things I can try?

    Yeah, fb sucks in my opinion. A better alternative is friendcaster. However, that is still really high. There are a lot of things that affect batt life such as sync interval, wakelocks, updates. Dimming the screen is a big help being that the screen is so large but if you are draining out in...

    ***NEWB*** Question about battery use - NOT DRAIN specific

    I'm not sure if this helps, but the one factor that users seem to put the most stock in is "screen on" time. I could let my phone stay in stand-by mode, not use it, and get over 2 or 3 days before the battery dies. However, on a full charge if I have medium to heavy use(5-7hrs), screen on time...

    Newbie with some questions.

    Not to sound rude, but you really need to know at the very least the name of your device. Things can turn nasty fast if you install the wrong software Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2

    Quick unrooting question.

    None I've heard of. You have to revert back to your stock recovery and the only way to do that is Odin. It may be easier if you can use mobile odin Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
