    Oreo rolling out?

    I'll update once I get back to wifi. Hopefully this will fix the battery drain.

    How to root the Sprint G Optimus G (Windows only)

    I rooted mine today. I had two issues that may help the community. After I installed the drivers I needed to reboot the computer to get it to recognize the phone. I tried running the root program as administrator but it didn't work. I tried just opening it and it worked. Jeff Sent from my...

    Optimus G now $99.99 at Best Buy (Sprint & AT&T)

    The sale ended on Saturday night. It was in last weeks flyer. I picked one up on Saturday and am really enjoying it. I came from a Nexus S 4g and obviously this blows that away.

    Rooted but can't tether....

    From what I understand, JB broke tethering. I have heard foxfi (the app I use) is working on it. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Android Central Forums

    [Guide] Rooting the Nexus S 4G (Windows Version)

    I am a novice and definitely will defer to you. However, for some reason, I could not get root to happen with the original file. It said it did in cwm, but wouldn't show when I checked it after booting. It worked the first time with the different file and when I saw busybox as being different I...

    [Guide] Rooting the Nexus S 4G (Windows Version)

    I am running stock Jelly Bean. I followed the directions via step 1 in the sticky. I am unlocked but not rooted. I was successful in each step but when I try to run titanium backup it says I'm not rooted. I downloaded root checker and it confirms no root. I have superuser in the app drawer. I...

    Should I get the Sprint Galaxy Nexus?

    Paul, I assume you have upgraded from the nexus s 4G to the gnex. Was it worth the upgrade? If you've already posted a summary and wouldn't mind pointing me to the thread, I'd be happy to read your thoughts. I appreciate your work on the nexus s rom. Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Android...

    [ROM][4.1.1][AOSP] JellyButt-v2.4 - JRO03L [8/25/12]

    I've been running 1.2 then 2.0. I noticed the lag issue when I went to a sprint area that sucks. I have tried wiping d. Cache etc, only to have it come back soon. I noticed maps draining some battery and I hadn't opened it. I shut off gps and location services AND Google now. I have noticed NO...

    Lost 40% battery while phone was off!

    Thanks for the link. I ordered one for my wife and I. 6 bucks each with free shipping. We've had ours for about a year. I get around 12 hours with fairly heavy use if the signal is good. If the signal is bad, I doubt it would last more than a couple of hours. I'm rooted using the latest...

    Has anyone tried a wireless extender with the EVO Shift?

    I am trying out the EVO shift for 30 days to see if it can replace my S720 and KR1. The wifi signal from the shift is not as strong as the KR1 and I need a "booster" to hit the basement (phone needs to be upstairs to get 4g). I tried the Netgear Wireless Extender (WN2000rpt). It worked great...
