Bumping this thread. I have a Pixel XL (latest as of May 2019 Pie) and just got an open box Verizon USB-C PD 2.0 car charger off Ebay. The seller (US based) had like 50,000 reviews and said they tested the charger to make sure it works. So I assume its legit....... When I plugged it into my...

Hi, I've got 2 Epic4G's on my Sprint account that I have the Sprint insurance for which means for the last year I've been paying Sprint $16 insurance. I took a quick look on Ebay and it seems I can get working Epic4g's for ~$100. The question is it worth paying Sprint the $16 or is it better to...

Isn't CM9 and MTD based ROM/Filesystem? I thought when you burnt an MTD ROM that there were an extra step or two to go back to BML and upgrade modems. I keep seeing references to "victory"? JM

Hi, I did a real quick search and didn't see this issue. When running a yoututbe video the Fire can not seem to buffer enough data and keeps stalling every 4-5 seconds. That is it starts playing and I can see the play icon catch up to the buffer icon and everything stops. A few seconds later it...

first off thank you for your quick response and overall thanks for all your hard work putting this together and helpings us noobs. Your instructions for the EI22 root were spot on and easy to follow. So I can just move the CWM.zip to the SD card and use CWM to update itself. (sounds weird)...

OK, so I'm really confused now. I've read a bunch of stuff and know enough to be dangerous, but not enough to get my self out of trouble (if I get there). Over the summer I ran the "one click root" on Froyo to get root. In November I followed instructions here, that were very similar to the...

I'll add to the list. My wife's 4G (was stock Froyo) has the "shut off for no reason" problem. I tried pulling the battery and that didn't do anything. My 4G (was rooted) is doing OK so far. Jim M,

Thanks for the quick response and suggestions. I admit to being a little lazy and not hunting this down myself, but I had a date with the front end of my car during the limited daylight hours. I will definitely look into this App Brain App and see what its about. Whether the factory reset...

HI, My wife's 4G has got the "shut down a few times a day" bug after the OTA update to gingerbread. I haven't seen and good fixes for this yet so I'm leaning towards doing a factory reset. I don't want to try and root her phone (thats for my 4G) so I need to know what is a good back up app that...

I have a problem with the "stock" email app (Gingerbread and froyo). When connected to my personal email using IMAP it seems that files I delete from the inbox never make it to the trash bin and keep reappearing in my inbox (so the server never gets a "delete request"). I notice for some reason...

I too have (HAD) a rooted phone so I followed the first step of putting my phone back to "stock" Froyo. Just a word of caution, I had no problems following the procedure (download driver, ODIN, froyo_eb13,...) What happened when I returned to stock is that I lost all my settings and accounts and...
