I use an app for lockscreen called "Cover." I did not want the lockscreen showing my music, iheartradio and other sound apps on the lockscreen. Also - did not like the controls on the lock screen for such apps, as some worked and some did not. Taking phone out of pocket often caused song or...

I just rooted a week ago, and today my Verizon S5 prompted me to do an update. Of course I declined. Does anyone know if there is a way to block this prompt? I assume I should not do the update. Nearly doubled battery life with tweaks so don't plan to do so. Thanks! Posted via Android...

Much prefer Android File Transfer. Faster, mode reliable. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

Boat Browser seems best to me. Apex launcher, Current Caller ID, Waze navigation, HD Widgets, & Pick Pic Camera are my must haves. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

I used my Mac with a vmware install of Windows 7. Worked perfect. When you plug on the usb, it asks do you want to connect to Mac or Windows. Saves having to be friendly with windows users Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

One note on the flip cover from Samsung, it makes taking photos so awkward. It has to dangle every time you take a picture. Positive: total phone protection and the screen needs no protector. I stopped using it. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

I've when the same thing. I freeze it except when I want to use it for instant upload. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

Do a potential YouTube video explaining it. Put it up on vimeo for free behind a passcode. Make it sad... then call support and find someone to take a link. Done this several times this year as companies tried to overbill me. Do an Apple screencast on my mac and upload it. Never make the...

Although you won't root, your best solution is either cleanrom 5.5.1 or another similar. Understand product development when a phone first comes out optimizes everything. People then insist on the latest update, and this is more about compatibility. The great modders then tweak and throw...

Although I do not have the Verizon message I am getting "unknown" when I check the status. Am I likely okay and should not worry about it.... or should I jump on this and redo this til I get it to no longer say unknown? Thanks! Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

Have 5.1.1 running great, too. My personal favorite of those I have tried. Did not bother with patch as I have no flickering issues. Battery far better than stock as you can simply freeze or never install the power hogs. Sent from my SCH-I535 using Android Central Forums

I use all macs in many biz, and the real ecosystem really is tied to Google and not Apple. That's at least for me as we use Google Apps for corporate email. Like you, that tiny screen is insane. My wife has the iPhone 5, and will never left me push an android on her. Bought her a sprint gs2...

Found the fix. It happens occasionally even when you do it right. Apparently it was an IMEI problem: [Tool][Win] Repair IMEI & Roaming ERI issues - xda-developers Up and running just fine within minutes. All issues gone.

It's a great wifi device that says "not yet activated" and shows a triangle next to the data bars. Speaking of the data bars, it is not seeing the Verizon network. Instead it is defaults to global. Question is: Any ideas what I did wrong? It saw Verizon after the first two updates, but lost...

Swype Beta. Addicted to it.
