    [Closed] Santa Phil Day 4: Win a (as in 1) ASUS ZenWatch

    I thought the Toq was cool... but Qualcomm decided to drop further support for it and keep the tools closed source. It may be a smartwatch, but it's pretty limited for one.

    [Closed] Win 1 of 2 Snapdragon? 800 Mobile Development Platform devices from Qualcomm and Android Central!

    I'm interested in one of these because I work in higher education as an emerging technology specialist. I try to stay on top of new technology and would like to see how far the new chip can be pushed in education. And when I'm done with that, I'm going to play with it like everyone else here...

    Can someone confirm front camera bug?

    I have the Evo 3D on Sprint, which is this very same phone but branded differently. Lucky for you all, you have ICS. Sprint's version will get it sometime this month or next month... We got what we thought was a leak, but turned out to be the Virgin Mobile version of the software. It's been...

    Using the S on other networks?

    I just switched to the Evo 3D, so I'm leaving this forum. Debating on selling my Opti S or giving it to my girlfriend. Since the Optimus is on Virgin Mobile and Circket and both use the CDMA network also (I think Cricket does), what is needed to use this phone on those networks? Just flash their...

    Android and location data collecting question

    I'm sure this belongs in a general Android forum but I check this one often enough and fear i'd forget about this... Sorry guys... So I've seen Maps pop up in Watchdog A LOT using 45+ of my CPU when I don't even use it (big battery killer). I've read lots of people on other forums having this...

    ARCHIVED: [ROM] aospCMod | AOSP 2.3.3 / CM7 (Gingerbread)

    Granted they're still relatively different, I don't remember having any mms issues with Zefie's CM7 ROM. But I could be mistaken, I rarely use mms and I've switched from Zefie's to this one about a month ago now. I wonder if it DID work there, if some porting from that one can fix this one.

    Teamviewer help, or remote desktop app suggestions

    I've used Teamviewer and LogMeIn (I like LogMeIn better but the price-tag is a bit high) and noticed both that the cell signal affects how well they work... BUT if you have an internet security software package (anti-virus, firewall, etc) they can sometimes block the access. I had to manually...

    ARCHIVED: [DEAD ROM]The Scott Pilgrim ROM (CM7 Gingerbread, Zefie Edition)

    I haven't run into this problem before personally, but have read that sometimes switching between ROMS, especially between different Android versions, restoring DATA with the apps causes problems. See if it works restoring the apps WITHOUT the data. It's worth a shot.

    No, I didn't mean the recovery. I thought I read the rom manager recovery will brick the phone or fail to install. There's a kernel going around on xda that everyone is suggesting but I found it doesn't play nice with the button fix for some reason.

    If you flash the zip in the original post, it should fix the buttons. However I found that the fix won't work for xionia kernel v14. As for the youtube app, try reflashing. If you didn't format data too from stock 2.2,that could keep some apps from working right. Android 2.3.4 is the most...
