Alrighty, I think I have my answer. Thanks all!

Thanks TOD! I checked out the Spectrum 2, and I liked it, except the processor is dual core and I see a lot of the newer phones are coming with quad =/ And as for the Razr M, my brother has one, and I know it won't cut it for what I need. Right now, I think the S4 is coming in at #1 for...

My Bionic is starting to go; microphone is dying, Bluetooth radio isn't nearly as strong as it was, it's always running out of RAM, and other little annoyances. I like the removable battery on my phone, and I *HATE* the Razr Maxx HD for not having one; otherwise I wouldn't even be asking =/ So...

I have a Bionic, and the ICS update killed the Widgetsoid single-click toggle =( Does anybody have a workaround for this either by permanently agreeing to the terms, or giving Widgetsoid system access so it can behave like the built-in toggle? Thanks Overkill

So when I use USB or WiFi tethering on my phone, I can peak at 1.1MB/sec to 1.3MB/sec depending on the night, but when I go to speedtest.net while tethered I can pull a full 14-20Mbit/sec (1.75-2.5MB/sec) down. If I'm running 2 ubuntu ISO torrents I should be able to hit max speed, right? Is...

Do u have a custom boot logo? Any apps frozen/deleted?

Extract to your pc, fastboot is a command line program for the phones to allow modding. To boot your phone into fastboot mode turn it off, hold both volume keys, and while still holding them, turn it on. See google for specifics. If you get stuck on anything else post here and ill try to get...

Well, I have the solution! As I expected, the boot logo was causing it. I had to download the full FXZ, which I found a bit cumbersome, extracted the logo from it, flashed it, and now my phone is completing the update as I type this. For those of you in the same boat: Instructions: As...

I turned on the boot animation, and remembered that I have a modded battery icon through Clockwork's ROM Manager. Anybody know how to revert that? Also, I need a copy of the original boot logo so that I can reflash that, waiting on a response from the team blackhat forums on that one. Does...

I get the OTA message saying that the 5.5.893 update is available, and I get the options of "Install Now" and "Install Later", with a timeout period of 30 seconds which defaults to performing the update. As I was writing more for the post, I realized that the original boot logo and animation...

I rooted my phone and froze the bloatware, but I have since unfrozen it and I'm still getting this error when trying to update. Any suggestions?

Ok, turns out it was an issue for whatever reason with the IP address. Changing it to 192.168.1.2 solved my problem.

I'm trying to tether my bionic to any number of laptops/desktops with built-in wifi or a dongle (Win7), and it keeps getting stuck on "Identifying". I read that this was a problem on some Intel wireless cards but none of the devices I'm using are Intel-based. I've tried changing channels...

Is there anywhere I can read about putting a shell on the phone, what the next steps are for me to take? I'm new to rooting my phone and looking to learn everything I can. Thanks, and as always, HACK THE PLANET!
