    [Closed] The Android Central non-sexist, non-spammy OnePlus One contest

    I hope I win. They seem like a childish company but the phone seems really nice, my old one is on its last legs, so I'm praying I win.

    Disabled apps launching themselves???

    I've had the same thing happen in the past on my Galaxy3. Mostly Google Apps and a few samsung ones like their chat app, I had disabled them and kept finding them running. Knock on wood, after enough times disabling them and force closing them, it appears to have stopped. Goodluck and keep...

    Bluetooth Disconnecting

    How far exactly do you expect Bluetooth to stay connected? 40ft seems reasonable.

    Samsung Galaxy S3 not getting recharged!

    Sounds like you either need a new charger or new battery or both. Try charging it on another charger, or on the car charger and see if it works better. The pins inside the chargers sometimes break and the phone won't charge correctly, either taking forever to charge or not charging at all...

    Samsung Galaxy S3 Memory

    If you use your file manager you should be able to open up the miscellaneous file and see what exactly is in there and select the items you want to get rid of and free up some space without deleting the entire file. There's probably some stuff in there you want to keep. You might be able to...

    Swiftkey Keyboard

    It's entirely dependent on what version of Android they have installed. Hence the sporadic problems, certain people like s3 owners who are still on 4.1 or 4.12 have the issue. Apparently newer versions of Android and probably some older versions work better with paid aftermarket keyboard...

    Swiftkey Keyboard

    The developers are aware of the issue. Its got something to do with the way android 4.1 recognizes the app in storage. Theres no problem with the free version reverting back to the stock keyboard after a reboot , only with the paid app strangely enough. I think that swiftkey allows paid users...

    HELP!! I can't get my rooted GSIII to work with WiFi Tether

    I use "Fast Wifi Tether Free" from the play store. Doesn't even require root access and I've never been detected by ATT either. It's a great app, the free version allows you to create a hotspot with K password protect and the paid version allows you to create a password for your hotspot...

    Need Tethering while camping

    The difference between the paid version and free version of the app is that the paid version allows you to create a password for the hotspot you're creating so strangers who happen to be in range won't be able to connect to your phones wifi. I only use the free version because at my house I...
