    unable to set ringtone in facebook messanger

    Did you guys ever figure this out? I've got a S7 Edge, and I'd like to add a custom notification to the Facebook Messenger app, but the only custom one that shows up is my default sound (and Megasound is doing its "when a notification comes in, mute it" thing again).

    [GUIDE] Using chkdsk to fix a corrupted SD card

    This is strange. I'm just trying to get the card working again. I don't care about the data. Any ideas?

    Need to re-calibrate S7 edge compass every time phone switched off and on - why?

    I had the same problem, but I found a solution. It involves the phone's diagnostic screens. Go to the dialer, and bring up the keypad. Dial *#0*# (no need to hit "call") Go down and tap SENSOR Scroll down to "Magnetic". Rotate the phone in all three axes. The more times you do so, the...

    Change default music player

    That didn't work for me, nor did any of the similar apps. (Still getting used to this S7 Edge I'm leasing from Sprint...) Regardless of what I set as default, when I open an audio file from the file explorer, it always opens in VLC player (which I use for videos) instead of Poweramp (which I...

    LG g smartwatch won't pair.

    I have the same problem. Just factory reset the watch, but now it shows the pairing code, yet the phone doesn't. Sometimes, after the pairing fails, a code will pop up on the phone, but it's the wrong code. Phone Hardware: HTC One Max (stock, latest Sprint firmware), all apps updated.

    Should this processor be getting this warm?

    Right. When "idling", the only apps running seem to be system apps, so it's likely something I can't kill or uninstall. Thanks anyway.

    Should this processor be getting this warm?

    Cores 1 and 3 CPU are running at 918 and 1134MHz, respectively, (but there do seem to be some activity spikes that wake up and run all four at 1134 MHz) with the scaling governor set to on demand. Most of the processes using CPU are system files. (Per AIDA64)

    Should this processor be getting this warm?

    No to safe mode, mostly because I don't know how (or if the temp monitor app will even function in safe mode). I'll check those two apps and see what they can do.

    Should this processor be getting this warm?

    Recently, I've been noticing that the ARMv7 processor in my Max has been very warm, as in 50-55C when idling. Games don't seem to affect it as much as it does the battery (which idles at about 40C), but it seems to be warmer when the accelerometer stop working for a while (usually when playing...

    HTC One Charging Speed.

    Apparently, HTC has a bit of software in its stock ROMs that detect whether its own charger is being used. I have a battery pack that puts out either 1A or 2.1A, and my HTC One Max still detects it as USB... though my bedside cradle, plugged into a RCA dual-port wall charger shows as AC...

    HTC Evo 4G LTE has forgotten how to access HARD-WIRED SIM card!

    The nearest Sprint Store is in Erie, PA (a good 45-minute drive, and I have no car of my own). I've reactivated my old Blackberry, and I'll bite the bullet and use Easy Pay to buy a One Max starting next week.

    HTC Evo 4G LTE has forgotten how to access HARD-WIRED SIM card!

    (This was my question. I've since registered and logged in.) Yes, it is a non-removable SIM. That's pretty much what I've concluded. Had the thought go through my mind that rooting it might help, but I got so nervous sideloading Jellybean 4.3 that I'd be a nervous wreck by the time I...

    Auto Brightness Fails

    I notice this on videos. With it turned on, whenever I start a video, it dims almost completely.
