    Random Reboots

    Hi, all. I just got my HD a couple days ago. All was well until tonight, when it started rebooting whenever it was left idle for about 5 minutes. Over time, the reboots are becoming less frequent, with the biggest improvement coming after I turned off the display timer. Any ideas? Has anyone...

    [TUTORIAL][S-OFF] Virgin Mobile CDMA S-OFF Without XTC-Clip Confi

    Try right-clicking on SimpleGoldCard.exe, then Troubleshoot Compatibility. Let Windows try to detect compatibility issues. When it's done with that, select the first option in the next window that opens (Recommended...). The next window should say something like: "Settings applied: Windows XP...

    [TUTORIAL][S-OFF] Virgin Mobile CDMA S-OFF Without XTC-Clip Confi

    Essentially, I think switching to another sd card is what caused the process to succeed. Can't confirm it, though. I used 2fast4u88's program (available in another post on this forum). I simply followed those instructions after switching sd cards. I should've repeated the process as outlined in...

    Droid 3: Apps That Are Safe To Remove Once Rooted

    Just wanted to throw this out into the ether. I use Skyfire 4.0 for web browsing. Whether I freeze the native browser or rename it, Skyfire will not work properly. It will launch, but pressing the "Bookmark" tab with cause an immediate force close of Skyfire. Skyfire is the only Android...

    Droid 3: Apps That Are Safe To Remove Once Rooted

    I used the RadioComm hack and use the stock hotspot app for tethering. Nothing has shown up on my bill. Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

    Droid 3: Apps That Are Safe To Remove Once Rooted

    You have to switch from read-only to read-write. In Root Explorer, I think you just have to press the small button in the upper-left (shows your current permission state). Sent from my DROID3 using Tapatalk

    Setting Up Email on HTC Wildfire S

    My first suggestion would be to Google for any incompatibilities between the Android platform and Go Daddy. I don't know of anyone who uses or has tried to use Go Daddy with an Android phone. If I had more time, I would look into it now. I'm at work, so I'll have to look later. Sent from my...

    [TUTORIAL][S-OFF] Virgin Mobile CDMA S-OFF Without XTC-Clip Confi

    Got it to work. I switched to another SD card and started fresh with all the GoldCard crap-haha. I used 2fast4u88's script, though. It failed after several tries with the original SD, but worked on the first try with the new SD. Maybe the SD cards I used up to this point were no good for...

    [TUTORIAL][S-OFF] Virgin Mobile CDMA S-OFF Without XTC-Clip Confi

    I would get the same error message, seemingly at random. I read somewhere that the program can be unpredictable like that. I tried restarting the program, rebooting my computer, using different mmc options just to "trick" it, but there seemed to be no rhyme or reason behind why it would work...

    [TUTORIAL][S-OFF] Virgin Mobile CDMA S-OFF Without XTC-Clip Confi

    Any suggestions from those who got it to work would be appreciated. There must be a reason why I can't get it to work, but I can't think of anything I didn't do, undo, then redo. For the record, I used two different cards from different manufacturers. Both were easily converted to Gold Cards...

    I'm getting that error, too. Everything appears to go off without a hitch, but I get the "Security fail!" and "Update Fail!" messages no matter how many times I retry. My SD card now shows as "Gold Card" when I switch to Disk Drive mode and I have the aforementioned files on the card. I do...

    Major Outstanding Issues with the Droid 3

    My D3 has dealt me nothing but minor annoyances. I've experienced occasional lag when launching apps or switching orientation, but that's nothing. I roll my eyes when people complain about those things. There is a slight blue tint to pictures, but only a slight one. I didn't even notice...
