best free/noad apps for- MoveAppToSDcard, wifi only app use, phone#whitelisting (& other 4 Tracfone) Hello, i've been browsing around Google Play to try and find apps of a certain type - I find good apps! But when I download them I find they have annoying advertisements, or I didn't realize it...

I have a question (months later), what is the minimum phone specs (other than android 5.0 listed on your site) and how much of a difference does different levels of cpu, memory, and display requirements affect it? (maybe i'm willing to view lower res 720p or even 480p just to keep down latency)...

Last post on this topic but I hope someone might respond in the future if they have any ideas - the phone no longer wants to power up at all. The battery was tested to still have 2.77v of charge and tried with a new battery to no effect, tried on computer usb and wall charger usb power to no...

FYI, realized there was something I didnt read... what is "ADB" and how do I use it to pull a file? The phone has perodically gotten into "download mode" and "recovery mode" (according to GF), but that is part of the intermittent. If we can pull the few sound files off there (or give up...

Worst case of wiping data is okay, but if wiping data is inevitable, are there any solutions or workarounds? Like if it were a hard drive on a computer, you just low level format things, it marks out bad sectors that fail tests, you reinstall, and it usually works a bit longer. I'd hate to...

Girlfriend has a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, the AT&T version. It's had a few odd problems (still unanswered when I last posted - like a GPS that randomly "spins" psychotically on maps with no warning and seemingly still seeing the satellites, another issue where it seems to be unrootable using all...

My other attempted post didn't work so trying again with a new title. Has a Samsung Galaxy S5 or Galaxy Note 2 (the one based on the 5th one) which seems to randomly malfunction on mapping programs losing all GPS function whether urban or rural for minutes at a time. There's too many apps out...

Hi, I posted a similar thread under a phone specific group but I realize since my phone is modded that may be useless. :^) Phone is a Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S) and i had my friend put in a custom mod that always comes up as Cyanogen/PacManROM with a date of 2015 01 24 (latest as of the time...

Well i'm trying to become tech savvy. :) And she's more tech savvy than I am she's just rurally working where there's no service so it's easier for me to ask for leads right now. There has to be some kind of apps out there that could help me figure out exactly what signals are coming out of...

Girlfriend has I think either a Galaxy 5 or the Galaxy Note version (Note 2?), whatever has the light pen thing. Last few months, she's had a serious problem with the GPS crapping out randomly. Makes no difference if rural or urban, or if downloaded GPS utilities show it seeing 12 satellites...

Phone is an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S1 (technically a Captivate something or other, 897 or somesuch?) which has one of those PacROM sets for android 4.4 on it. (I will post exact specifics if needed in followup but the battery is dead AGAIN thanks to this) For several months now the phone has...

Having a samsung s1 captivate i897 (yes OLD) at&t branded cell phone that was 100% paid for, but never unlocked back in the day. Trying to unlock now to use as a second line, but REFUSES TO ACCEPT the codes from AT&T. The phone is useless if left on at&t (whose reception sucks in the big city...

Is there any way to reset the carrier unlock counter? Normally it wouldn't be a big issue, but with the CORRECT CODE VERIFIED from at&t for a fully paid for phone, a samsung captivate i897 is refusing to accept the right codes. I would like to diagnose/figure out what is wrong before locking...
