    Nexus 7 2012 - Back to kitkat or custom rom?

    Thanks guys. I'm pretty sure it's updated to 5.1.1 and even after a factory reset, it still doesn't seem to be as good as it was before I originally updated to 5.0. Maybe it's just time to bite the bullet and buy a new tablet.

    Why aren't I receiving text on my S6 over wifi?

    Re: Wife not receiving texts on S6 I'm not really sure what's going on with title, both when I posted and when I edit know it says title is "Wife not receiving texts on S6". My question has nothing to do about wifi.

    Why aren't I receiving text on my S6 over wifi?

    Wife not receiving texts on S6 Hello all, my wife early last week started having the problem of not being able to receive texts. She can send them fine, just can't receive them. I get every msg she sends to me but she gets none that I send back or that any one sends for that matter. After 3 or...

    Data connection issues

    Just a update. 2 nights ago had full 4g signal and tried watching something on YouTube. It kept rebuffering every 10 seconds. So last night done a factory reset last night all appears back to normal. Has no problem now switching between 3g/4g.

    Data connection issues

    For $250 and 3G I'll just buy A new phone. Lol considering I haven't always had this problem, leads me to it be something between Verizon and Samsung.

    Data connection issues

    Over messing with it over the weekend figured I'd give a update. I tried "CDMA Auto" When I do that it shows 3-4 bars on signal meter but no mobile data connection, ie no 4g, 3g, etc. It'll stay that way for 3-4 minutes, showing same signal strength but never having mobile data connection...

    Data connection issues

    Thanks. I actually have a rooted Nexus 7, only reason I rooted it was to be able to use flash drive and OTG cable. However this is the first "phone" I've rooted. Didn't know if there were any different do's and don'ts. As for my original problem, the app didn't work well at all when I tried to...

    Data connection issues

    Thanks done what you said. I believe I have root now. I still can't delete various bloat ware, is that normal? I thought root gave you ability to delete any app?

    Data connection issues

    After doing some research it appears I'm not alone but since the 4.4.2 update, I'm having issues with my data connection. Before the update I'd get on average 1-2 bars 4G at home. Since update there is alot of times I have no data connection. I can still receive texts and normally send them but...

    Can you recommend a good replacement phone?

    Thanks for all the replies and thanks for the heads up on Swappa. Looks to much less of a headache then eBay, especially with Verizon phones and the ESN's. Think I may go with the Samsung Google Nexus. Or 1 Nexus and 1 S3 and let wife decide which she wants.

    Can you recommend a good replacement phone?

    We were looking at around $200. Think I'm gonna keep a eye out on eBay for a S3 and go from there. I'd rather spend a little more money and get a decent phone then do cheap and be right back in same place lol

    Can you recommend a good replacement phone?

    The wife and I made the very unwise decision to trade in our iPhones for a Windows Lumia 928 about 4 months ago. We both hate the phones and wish we would have taken them back. I have a (2012) Nexus 7 and she's since bought a Nook so we are both looking at buying outright Andriod replacement...

    Re-root from device?

    Thanks. Guess I'll just have to retry from a different PC. As pretty sure cable I'm using now is from Blackberry. If it still doesn't work, guess I'll just buy a OEM cable.

    Re-root from device?

    The Andriod new I am, decided to install the 4.3 OTA update and not think anything about it. And of course now, I no longer have root. Took me a while to notice it, as all I use it for is transferring to and from USB flash drives with OTG cable. Still not sure why that's not enabled out of the...
