Dear hive mind, I am currently a Nexus 4 user, but I have a dramatic need to simplify my life (job loss). I am thinking about going back to a flip phone for calls, but I'd like a cheap wifi-only tablet for Web and email and a few apps. I am comfortable rooting and romming and I am a sucker for...

I am having this same problem right now. I let my battery run all the way down today and the phone shut off while in my pocket and hasn't come back to life since. It has been plugged in to various chargers (2 wall, 1 computer) for a few hours now and there is no white charging logo, no...

Re: What do you want in Key Lime Pie? Try a file manager app. One of the best parts of Android as far as I'm concerned. Sent from my Nexus 4 using Android Central Forums

Same here, got the "Your device has shipped" email on Saturday morning with the tracking number that isn't yet (Monday) in the UPS system. Is it too much to ask that when they say it has shipped then it has actually shipped? Where's the big stack of boxes that haven't gotten on the truck yet...

I got one! Woooooooooooooooooooo Hoooooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm a happy camper. That price and specs are impossible to beat. I spent an hour hitting "proceed" while I was in a meeting this afternoon and got nowhere, but when I got home an hour later, I tried and got it on the first try. I...

I want to win a freaking HTC One X+, yes, the very same One that you can't win. 'Nuff said.

Yeah, baby! Lovin' the Mobile Nations charge, led by Android Central!

This isn't really an android question per se, but the amazing power of the android ecosystem is what makes me need to ask! I use my phone like a PDA that happens to make phone calls too. I currently use an LG Optimus T on my regional carrier with no data plan. I get plenty of network...

Small size, decent processor, great screen, unlocked for $379 street. I think I'm in love. I'm currently rocking the Optimus T, but the limited app storage is a bummer. Now that we will have official CM on Sony Xperia devices and an option that isn't a pocket-busting piece of glass, someone...

The Optimus T does have a recovery mode. The exact instructions are in the manual, but I believe that you just need to power down the phone and then power it back on while holding the home and volume down buttons. This should return it to exactly the state it was in from the factory, including...

A recovery image is like a mini operating system that allows your phone to recover from operating system problems (commonly it provides a clean reinstall). A custom recovery image lets you do things that the stock recovery image won't like flashing other ROMs and making complete NAND backups.
