This makes me want to break laws. I cannot find how to stop my SMS message (multimedia-- meaning, photos and groups SMS) that show up in my Verizon Messages app from also being sent to my Gmail account. This is irritating as hell and I cannot find where to turn it off. I've read a PILE of...

I have suffered along with the same problem for the past year. The other day I decided to root my tablet and try to flash a custom ROM, possibly CyanogenMod. I did root it successfully just fine, but I bricked it trying to install CyanogenMod. But somehow in the process, I seem to have fixed...

How exactly did you get 4.2.2? I only have 4.2.1 on mine. It arrived today. I did a check for system updates, and it did indeed update, but it didn't give me anything but 4.2.1.

I just got the tablet, it's OK, but it has no multi-user function like other tablets with 4.2 on it. They simply left it out of the firmware. It's really pathetic. I just got off a chat with an ASUS rep, and he confirmed, you can't do it on this tablet. When I asked him "why did they not put...

Memo Pad HD7--- Can't get 4.2.2, and I have no "Multi User" ability in Settings, need help quickly! I just bought this thing, knowing it had 4.2. Apparently, not all 4.2 devices support multiple users. I bought this specifically for use with my wife, and my children (all who are far too young...

OK, so in other words I can't flash a custom ROM even if I wanted to. No big whoop, really, Nova Launcher does a pretty good job of keeping the device clean looking and hiding crap I can't delete, like Google Music etc. Using Link2SD does a good job keeping the phone working speedily enough.

OK, I found the "Update System" apk. (OmaDMclient.apk). I chose to disable it with Root App Delete rather than actually remove it. I power-cycled the phone several times and no problems so far, no brick. Hopefully if they do release another update, it won't do something whack and brick in my...

OK that's a good thought. I can test this on my guinea pig phone since it's a clone of my actual user device. Any idea how I identify what the update system app is on this phone? I probably should know off the top of my head but can't think of it at the moment. If I flash a custom ROM on the...

Is there a way to mod it to run the tablet on a bigger battery? I don't mind having it a touch bulkier than normal, and I'm handy with a soldering iron. I might be able to retro in something of a higher capacity, like an 18500 Li-ion or two.

Thanks Troark97. Drives me nuts that deleting the Google apps get it bricked. So my next question is this--- how can we prevent further updates? I know it asks you "install now/later", but is there a way to just prevent this from popping up every day when an update releases? FWIW I did...

I have two Vipers. One has a broken screen but otherwise functional, the other is pristine. I've rooted the first one several times (first, back in January, and now today) and am sick of bricking it. I've figured out that the problem is the ZVK update, I think (that, or deleting Google Play...

Re: LS840ZVK Rooting I used JGKim's advice and was able to root a stubborn Viper today. I had the ZVK version of ICS, and I followed option 1 to revert to ZVI, and then used step 2 to root. I'm now deleting bloatware. I'm using a busted-screen Viper as a guinea pig. I had previously rooted this...

Anyone here using the stuff from FocalPrice, Dealextreme, or similar sites? I am NOT a heavy-duty tablet user, but the freebie Uniden tablet (1.0ghz single core) is horrifically slow when using Kindle or Kingsoft Office (even using Link2SD to keep the tablet's memory clean..... it helps, but not...

Interesting. Well I don't want to brick it again unless I get to where I really need the space on the phone. I hid it all using Nova launcher (pro edition) which actually makes for a very sleek little operating system upgrade. Worth the $4 in my case, now I only see what I need.

I've bricked my Viper twice. I get the security error on the LG screen. Thankfully I can get the unbrick stuff using the LG tool kit to work. Here's what's going on. I root the phone using the scripts from Bin4ry (thanks!). I install Root App Delete from Google Play. The first go-round I...
