    Whatsapp Web redirecting Issue, can I get some help fixing it?

    This happened to me as well on my Chrome browser. Instead of clearing the cookies/cache for the entire browser, I was able to clear it just for web.whatsapp.com and whatsapp.com (note, you need to clear all whatsapp sites) by following the below steps and got it working: Go into settings ->...

    Navigate to... Broken for Many in Google Now

    Where exactly did you fix it in Google+? I went to my G+ profile and didn't find an address to choose for home or work. I would appreciate if you can give more details on this.

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    After using it for a day, I began seeing an issue with the cache partition. Actually, I noticed that some of the apps started disappearing from the app drawer, with their shortcuts on the desktop turning to stock icons and they can no longer be launched from there. If I go to the Market page for...

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    I was able to successfully flash Mirage ROM and reinstall most of my old apps and data using Titanium backup. Except for the time it took to reinstall 50 or so apps one by one, the rest of the experience was smooth. I recommend going through the generic guide for flashing roms here. The...

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    I have 2.2.1, so you are right about the fastboot. And you are absolutely right that trying to flash multiple times is an option, because it worked when I tried it again. At first, I didn't know that it worked, I just found that the ROM Manager also has an option to backup, so wanted to just try...

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    I tried the new steps and still got the same exact error. Is there a clean-up that needs to be done? Also, I noticed references to "new screen" what is the difference? Are there two hardware versions?

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    I got this error on a bluescreen when I booted into the recovery console: I was able to remove the battery and boot back into the OS, so it is not all that bad. However, I wonder if the chosen option is correct.

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    If that is the wrong option, what is the worst thing that could happen? Would it just fail to flash or could it cause the phone to brick?

    [HOW-TO] Simplified Root + Recovery + Custom ROM

    I am feeling stupid to ask this, as it might be pretty obvious, but I don't want to take a chance. I installed the free Rom Manager and when I select the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery", I am being asked to confirm the phone model. The closest name in that list for "LG Optimus V" is "LGE Optimus...

    [How-To] Root LG Optimus S

    Ok, I have a different question. After the rooting is done, can't we turn off the "USB Debugging" mode? I did that, and when I started Titanium backup the first time, I got a message that says "Warning - System configuration: Your system settings may cause problems. To correct this, go to your...

    [How-To] Root LG Optimus S

    Thanks a lot @mfldmike for the mac instructions, and thanks also to @pcubed for helping me understand the adb commands are to be run on the local m/c not *inside* the adb shell (which is unfortunately how you would understand if you read the mfldmike's instructions). I can now see the "#"...
