    VPN Freezes in Android 4.4.2 - S4

    Isn't it great that Goggle has given us an OS that kills VPN! Then, when it is discovered and reported all over the place, nothing...crickets. This has pretty much wasted a few hundred dollars I spent on a tablet as I need VPN. Is there any place that public can submit android bugs...

    4.3 update will not install

    No. Please do not forget...do not assume that everybody is as knowledgeable as you are. Perhaps even, not as smart as you. I thought that since the ROM and its kernel were original, stock, ATT/Samsung, that a new version stock ATT/Samsung ROM could replace it. Please provide a link.

    4.3 update will not install

    There were numerous errors, failures and unknown functions in /cache/recovery/last_log. Also, there were 7 files in /cache/recovery/. Since all my files are getting 1970 file dates (yes, the phone's date/time is correct), I am not sure whether last_log or last_log.5 is the latest one. A...

    4.3 update will not install

    My ATT S3 was just offered the 4.3 update last night. I think it was delayed to this point because I only had 900MB of free space until a few days ago when I deleted some backups and got it up to about 4GB free. However, after the long download and install process, at the very end it said...

    Can't find CWM backup folder

    I have android 4.1.2 on mine--not 4.2. Date thing is really weird. I wish I had an answer to that. Exceptionally strange that my previous backups had the 'date it was done' as part of the folder name, and now they are getting the 1970 name. Something changed (CWM version?). And it is HIGHLY...

    Can't find CWM backup folder

    I was running out of space on internal SD on my Samsung Galaxy S3, so I deleted the CWM backups (I thought I did) and that gave me back to 7GB of free space. Ran the CWM backup again, but now, the only backup I can find is at mnt/sdcard/clockworkmmod/backup/1970-01-07.06.00.46. All the files...

    Need app to manage routes, schedule,, and to-do's

    My son has a lawn care business, and it has grown, becoming hard to manage. He wants to get a tablet with an app to "help keep things straight." I have categorized the hard-to-track areas into three general groups: - ROUTE INFO This is not exactly 'schedule' data as each event (house) is not...

    Voltage Control App

    OK, I'm dumb. Just installed an OCUV capable ROM and installed Voltage Control. In reading, I see several places about having too many voltage levels causeing less than optimum performance (too much speed jumping going on). So, I look in Voltage Control and see it is set to allow 10 speeds...

    Why are apps starting themselves (not at boot)?

    Wrong. Never owned a berry. You are not comprehending at all what I am saying. Did you read my posts? "My interest is two-fold. First, just the unsuppressable curiosity of what is causing this--why is it happening? (It is my nature.) And second, just not wanting anything that is going to use...

    Why are apps starting themselves (not at boot)?

    Either you or me (probably me) is completely misunderstanding. When I go to the place suggested: Settings -> Search -> Searchable Items -> Now, at that point, I have this list: Browser Apps Contacts Music Player Dolphin Browser HD Phone Hitting the Apps line just checks or unchecks the...

    Why are apps starting themselves (not at boot)?

    Oh, I looked and looked and looked for an app titled "global search". Now I realize you don't mean to go into global search -> (then to) -> Settings--you mean to START at Settings! Ok, I looked in there, but it does not provide a drill down to uncheck INDIVIDUAL apps, only a line to uncheck to...

    Why are apps starting themselves (not at boot)?

    I am not worried about RAM at all...I understand Android does a great job of managing that. My interest is two-fold. First, just the unsuppressable curiosity of what is causing this--why is it happening? (It is my nature.) And second, just not wanting anything that is going to use battery...

    Why are apps starting themselves (not at boot)?

    Stock 2.1 ?clair. I am not into killing everything all the time, but I do look in Advanced Task Killer occasionally. What is bothering me is that I am finding apps loaded that I did not start myself. I am not talking right after boot--I mean during general use and after I have stopped...
