    Hotspot Issues

    When you're running the mobile hotspot app does it say "allow all devices"? If yes, do you have it plugged into your computer while you're trying to use it? I noticed that as soon as I plug my phone in with USB to my computer the hotspot stops working.

    Any serious SMS competition?

    Honestly the default SMS apps are fine to me. I think the ultra-cool customization aspect of a lot of apps has sailed and what we're left with are apps like Go and Handcent having so many choices it's pointless.

    Current status of AOSP based roms

    Can anyone who relies on their phone for work purposes speak to the current state of AOSP based ROMs? I know with proper kernel source files that some things may not function 100% and I'm aware that any non-TouchWiz ROM is going to be less than perfect. With that out of the way are they pretty...

    Verizon closed upgrade Loophole for family share plan members?

    It comes off the top of the bill now. They used to only apply it to one line but now it's off the total bill. So if you're bill is $200 its 22% of $200. They switched to this way some point over the last 5 months because I noticed it before going to share everything.

    Is there any way to get stock Jellybean (4.1) on my Galaxy S III without the Samsung Skin?

    I'm going to third this. I run CleanROM which has Aroma installer so when I get to the Samsung apps section I deselect everything and have it install Nova instead of touchwiz. Yes you still get the core TW stuff but honestly it's not THAT bad. If you really hate the lockscreen just set up...

    How many of ya are finna sell your S3 and get the Droid DNA?

    I thought about it purely for the ImageSense chip in the DNA but in the end I'm going to stick the S3 out. I think the community will remain strong here for the life of the phone and will continue to see some sort of updates. I've been burned twice with HTC (Eris and Inc2) so it's hard to want...

    Should I let Wi-Fi turn off when the phone sleeps?

    I leave wifi on all the time when I'm at home and the battery difference is negligible, if any at all. I think a lot of the 'old wives tales' with previous versions of Android are going to, or should, go away (wifi off, gps off, screen lowest brightest, under volting, etc) since battery life has...

    Titanium Backup - flashable restore zips

    I used TWRP to flash it in zip queue and the apps all flashed fine but none of the data was restored so I still had to run Titanium manually after set up anyway.

    I've been running CleanROM and just got the chance to upgrade to his JB build. I'll report back after a few days if you like but I expect this to be a little rough.
