    Mount and Unmount SD card ... what is it exactly?

    To answer your first question: You should always unmount media before removing it. While it normally causes no harm, if any background process is in the middle of reading or writing data to it, you will end up with corruption. Think of any time a computer tells you "Please do not shut down or...

    Is there a fix allowing for encryption and gps to work together?

    Re: Is there a fix allowing for encryption and gps to work togeth I've been looking around since my last post and I've been unable to find anything about other phones having this issue. Does anyone have a GSII from another carrier/region that they can test encryption+GPS to determine if it's...

    How do I NOT get directed to the mobile version of websites?

    To expand on JayWill72's advice: you may have to clear your cache or explicitly add "www" to the beginning of the URL, especially if you've visited the site before changing the useragent string.

    How do I return to 100% stock?

    I spent the last ~3 years with WebOS, and donated frequently to WebOS Internals because they were the primary contributors to the things I used most. Once I kind of figure out who does what, I'll be showing support for sure! I just don't know what contributions each party is bringing to the...

    Finished watching the video, which featured a shot of the file size of the TAR... 450MB looks like the full OS :D Thank you so much, JayWill72. I'll report back in once the forum and file are made available again :)

    How do I return to 100% stock?

    Very sorry for the missing data, but you assumed the first part correctly. I'm very new to Android and made some critical mistakes due to lack of understanding. My first device was rooted almost by accident; I was trying to fix a GPS issue and read a firmware fix would help. I ended up...

    How do I return to 100% stock?

    In the process of trying to troubleshoot a different problem I had to get a new Samsung Galaxy S II Epic Touch 4G. In order to avoid losing data and progress in games and system settings, I used Titanium to do a backup which I restored to the new device (Apps, System data, everything) At this...
