Hey Guys, I'm a developer, basically doing this as a hobby for the moment. Me and a couple friends are brainstorming and developing apps in our free time. Our goal is to develop apps that people find particularly useful or are interested in. The app we are working on now is called Notice...

Wow, that is a little scary. Definitely be careful and stay safe. So, also as a developer (this is true of ALL developers). I DO have access to any information provided by permissions in the app. All developers do. However, most of the time these permissions are required for some feature...

That's probably true to an extent. But I think with the vast amount of information out there, most people will be lost in the haystack so to speak. Unless you are someone particularly interesting. Posted via the Android Central App

Re: soft bricked my phone, need help You flashed it with adb with the flash boot loader, or just on the phone using recovery? You'd need to flash using flash bootloader with adb. Thats the only way I know of to completely re-flash everything

Re: Abnormal factory reset Yeah, when you run out of space bad things tend to happen. Usually, google will back up all of your photos, unless you specifically unchecked that option. Here's how to check if your photos were backed up. Goto plus.google.com. Make sure you are signed into the...

First I would try checking if there are any apps using an extraordinary amount of battery Settings->Battery. Take a look at the highest percentage app. I think this is not very likely to be the problem unless your phone is smoking hot all of the time. If you don't find anything useful there...

Some carriers require you to register your phone with them to get LTE. I would call your carrier. Say you reset your phone and now LTE doesn't work. They will probably be able to help get you going again. I know I had a similar issue a while back with an S3, the carrier had to activate...

Re: soft bricked my phone, need help I would try to find a system image online somewhere and flash that to the phone. Sounds like the update didn't complete correctly and left you in a bad state. I'd post a link, but I don't have enough posts for that yet.

Re: Urgent! PLEASE HELP!! Problem with Motorola Droid 2 lock screen! Can you post a picture of your phone's screen? It might help in diagnosing the issue

Take your pick. Just search for "notification sounds" on google play. Lots of apps will come up that you can install / use to set notification sounds.

Thanks everyone!

That is interesting to hear. I am an app developer. Privacy is something that comes up a lot in our discussions about how apps should be created. It's something that I'm also very conscious of. Have you ever paid for an app when a free one was available because the paid app claimed not to...

If you were signed into a Google account, Google should have backed them up for you. You just need to setup a new phone with the same Google account and they should be restored Posted via the Android Central App
