    Chromebook and gaming

    Looking to get my son a chromebook. Its cheap and he is going into high school next year so I thought it would be perfect for his schoolwork. He is also an avid Runescape player and the old ACER laptop we had been letting him use is on its last leg. I have read that Java is not supported so...

    [Q] Build prop question

    Many moons ago, I read somewhere that in order to get full market access, we had to change a few lines in the build prop to basically "trick the market" into thinking this was a different phone. Some apps are not campatbile with the stock Fassy but when rooted with custome Roms it is.......ex...

    Looking for a new rom

    Agreed. Switched to ICS over the weekend. Very nice Rom. You'll need to use GoSMS or something similar to get MMS to work but other than that....can't find anything wrong for what I use. GPS locks jimmy johns fast.

    Is anyone else noticing "device is not compatible with this item"

    Re: Is anyone else noticing.... Are you rooted? If so you can change your build.prop to read as a Nexus or something newer. This will "trick" the market into thinking you have a compatible phone. The downside is that there is a reason why the fascinate is "not compatible". Some apps won't...

    Not receiving new mail notices

    1) Check your account sync setting and make sure it is still set to sync. 2) I've had issues with Gmail once in awhile....the easiest fix is to uninstall and reinstall. 3)Update your ROM my good man.....step out of the box MIUI/CM7/ICS await!!!! :)

    Fascinate Headache

    I guess I read it as he couldn't connect using USB so flashing back to stock wasn't an option.

    Fascinate Headache

    Factory reset doesn't unroot the devise once rooted. Download titanium backup and freeze su. send it back. 99.9% chance that nobody will look at your phone for root when it gets returned....especially as old as the fassy is in the phone world. Those in the return dept have no idea how to check...

    MiUi boot loop

    Which MIUI version were you running? You say you were running the latest and greatest but were in a boot loop. What were you doing before the boot loop? When you were trying to ODIN, were you using the atlas PIT file too and apparently there are only three stock ROMS you can use to get back...

    Unsure about how to reset my device

    Resetting your devise is exactly what you did....just powered down and back on. Can you see the Superuser icon in your app drawer? I never rooted this way but if you see the icon, then the easiest way to get rid of some of the bloat would be to download Titanium Backup (staple of rooted...

    MIUI Rom anyone?

    I've found that MIUI.us is really the only place that is getting MIUI pub (for obvious reasons). There just aren't enough people on it here or XDA which is too bad becasue I've always loved the support here......and still lurk daily. Trying to give back as much as I can.
