    Verizon Galaxy S8 Portable battery charger doesn't work with Galaxy S8

    Apparently there were 2 versions of this with the same model number but very different specs. I didn't realize that until I went looking for a picture to show the available ports. Mine has no USB 3.0 or QC capability. It just has 2 USB-A outs and a MicroUSB in. Both ports do the same-- the...

    Verizon Galaxy S8 Portable battery charger doesn't work with Galaxy S8

    Hi. I have a ZeroLemon Y594 SolarJuice charger. It's very cool and still works well. It works well on my tablet, my Galaxy Note 4, etc. I recently got a Galaxy S8 for work. When I try to charge it using the ZeroLemon charger, it cycles through activating and sending an initial charge to the...

    Replacement for My Tracks

    I'm very disappointed that My Tracks will not continue working after the end of April. It does a great job for what I need. There are other apps that do some similar things, but none that quite do what I'm looking for. Specifically, I export my bike rides, runs, etc to a Google Drive...

    Physical keyboard causes Note 8 to change default virtual keyboard

    So, I recently picked up a cheap little BT physical keyboard. It works fine, with the only problem being exactly what the author of this article describes. tl/.dr: When I use the physical keyboard the Note changes the default virtual keyboard to the Samsung built-in one, rather than my chosen...

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

    How about a deal... I won't give you naked pics of me if you give me the phone. Believe me, you want to take this offer. :p ;)

    Multi window and My Tracks app

    Hi. I recently got a Verizon S3 and I've (1) rooted it using the Casual rooter, (2) installed the Samsung Multi Window Manager by BJB, Inc., and (3) patched the phone using the i939 patch (since apparently *any* patch will work on this phone). I might be unclear on what I should expect, so I'd...

    App for when phone is docked

    I have an Evo 3D, stock except for rooting (a pretty big "except", I know). When I put it in the desk dock, the standard Sense dock app appears. I find this app next to useless. Does anyone have any recommendations for a different app to load when the phone is docked? I've tried searching...

    Text messages not auto-deleting properly

    Hmm... I hadn't considered that. The little option descriptor for autodeletion says "75 messages per conversation", but all it would take is an imprecise developer to get that wrong. Sadly, there's no way to impose per-user limits. Perhaps it's time to start looking at other texting apps...

    Text messages not auto-deleting properly

    I have set the stock messaging app to keep 75 text messages for each user. For some reason, once that 75 message point is exceeded, it only deletes the incoming messages. My replies are kept, and the total number goes above 75 indefinitely until I delete the long tail of my replies at the top...

    Spooky car dock action!

    I have an Evo 3D and an iGrip PerfektFit Charging Dock. I've noticed something interesting and odd. This dock has a little microUSB plug on the bottom that charges the phone and, I thought, puts the phone into "dock mode". I put it in the doc, the car dock app (Car Home Ultra, in my case)...

    Wifi - very long delays acquiring IP address

    I have an Evo 3D, stock, that's having problems connecting to my Cisco WAP610N. For some reason, it takes about 15 minutes or so-- the time varies. It seems to get stuck at acquiring an IP address. No other wifi enabled devices have the problem, and I have no problem connecting this to other...

    Airdroid - please try!!!

    I don't think I've ever posted a comment quite like this before. I've done reviews, questions, concerns, "stay away", etc. This time, though, I'd just like to encourage everyone to try an app. It's still in beta and yet manages to be excellent. The app is Airdroid. Airdroid is sort of a...

    3-button inline remote headphones on Android

    So, apparently there are 2 general types of inline remotes on headphones-- 1 button and 3 button. I have a pair of the 1-button type-- the Klipsch Image s2m IEMs. They seem to do just fine. Now, on the 3-button sort, I seem to regularly see very clear iDevice labeling and packaging-- "Made...

    "Home" button does not return home

    arghy, it seemed that my problem was not specific to the Evo 3D, so I reposted: http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-help-how/114420-home-search-keys-not-working.html and the post with the answer in my case...
