    New Tapatalk app for android is horrible

    So funny to hear people complaining about Tapatalk 4. Tapatalk stopped being useful the moment it jumped from 2 to 4. Personally, I still use Tapatalk 2. Works great, easy to navigate, no obnoxious ads (My Pro login still works!) Why in the world anyone would subject themselves to the...

    Root HTC One E8?

    Nah. no way was I going to pay an extra 200 bucks for an aluminum case and a gimicky camera. (That's the only substantive difference between the two phones as far as I can tell) What about Rooting? If I could JUST de-crapify this thing I could at least get it closer to the way I want it...

    Root HTC One E8?

    So, I just bought an HTC One E8 since my Galaxy Nexus' USB port stopped allowing a charge or connections of any kind. To be honest I REALLY wanted a Nexus 5, but Sprint doesn't carry the 32gb version and I'm not about to get a 16GB phone that won't take a micro SD card. Also, you can only buy...

    Missing Google Now settings??

    So, I finally got JB on Monday morning. After playing with it a bit (and liking it very much) I've been trying to figure out Google Now. I followed the setup guide here: How to Set Up Google Now I'm walking through the setup for Google Now according to that guide and I get to the location...

    [Unconfirmed] Sprint JB update this Thursday

    I enter all my contacts through Gmail's interface anyway, so that shouldn't be a problem. I hope it doesn't wipe the phone though. Having to wipe is the primary reason I'm not rooted. It would suck if the normal OTA method wipes it as well. :(

    [Unconfirmed] Sprint JB update this Thursday

    As a former Palm Pre user this will be my first ever significant OTA update on Android. (Not counting the 4.0.2 to 4.0.4 patch) Any recommendations as far as backing things up, or should this be pretty painless? (As I'm not rooted I don't have one of the more extensive backup solutions. I'm...

    Should I return my Sprint Galaxy Nexus?

    Make sure your LTE radio is off if you are in an area without LTE service. That thing sucks battery like they are going out of style. Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2

    Streaming media issues on Sprint?

    Just an update: I've been doing more testing. Google Music: Works over 3G now. Apparently the OTA proxy wipe did fix that but I neglected to test it again. My mistake. Spotify: I uninstalled this, didn't want to pay the subscription, so I don't know if it works. Pandora: Old version...

    Streaming media issues on Sprint?

    What kills me is that it did work just fine for a good long while (Got my GNex on Pre-order in the Spring) And it worked for 3 years on my old Palm Pre- This behavior is completely NEW and I can't figure out why it's doing it. I did pull down that .apk with the old version of Pandora. it...

    Streaming media issues on Sprint?

    Ok, so I used the linked method with the correct code and access my phone data settings. You can acces them in "view" (read-only) mode just to see what they are. (You need the MSL to edit them and I don't have it.) So i checked the proxy settings and they were all set to <not set>. So a...
