    Will the alarm power on the phone

    Many Android devices can wake up from a powered-off state when a scheduled alarm is triggered. It just requires the phone to have hardware alarms and you to use an app which sets hardware alarms. Posted via the Android Central App

    In-app purchase after rooting

    You need to use RootCloak for ISIS/Softcard, too. Works perfectly.

    Videostream for Chromecast: Stream Local Video From Your Computer

    I'm a little confused by the question. If the Chromecast goes idle it will disconnect, that's normal. If there is no stream actively playing, and nothing paused, then after a couple of hours my Chromecast will drop the connection and revert to the wallpaper/photo mode. It doesn't happen if...

    ATT Note 3 update 4.4.4?????

    Google Wallet requires HCE (Host Card Emulation), which was added in Kitkat -- that's why Wallet is Kitkat-only now. Unfortunately the Note 3, along with a very few other phones, doesn't have a driver which supports HCE. You'll have to complain to Samsung, but until they start including that...

    Tap & Pay Functionality on Note 3 Running KitKat?

    Note 3: Zerolemon extended battery

    I have the Qi receiver in my Note 3, and under ideal conditions 640 mA of current is available to the phone for power/charging. Via USB charging from a wall AC adapter the Note 3 will draw 1200 mA with the screen on, 1800 mA while it's off (rapid charging).

    Galaxy Note 3 - USB 3.0 charging/mac issues

    iPhone wall chargers peak at 1000 mA, not 500. Also, most macs are designed to put out 1000 mA when an iPhone is connected using USB.. but it's a proprietary gimmick so other mobile phones will barely get enough power to idle, let alone charge. If the computer is seeing the phone then it won't...
