    Location Found

    Verizon lg g4. I got the location found thing on my screen. Happened after opening Google maps, moving away from my location, and then closing and killing all apps via Greenify. Disabling GPS did not fix this. I enabled the GPS, opened maps, and clicked on the my location icon. Location moved to...

    Re: LG G4 battery life isn't as great as those reviewers said That battery usage looks terrible. Have you tried Greenify? Free app. You can try cleaning up everything that is running every time you lock the screen. Might help with rogue apps. I started using it and my battery life has indeed...

    Disable full charge notification

    This seems to be an issue with lollipop, as the G3 and the Samsungs have it too. My phone will sometimes (not every time) beep when it has reached 100% battery. This happens in the middle of the night while I'm sleeping, so it wakes me up. I have my phone setup so that it will not disturb me...

    Does your Wifi search for networks every 10 seconds?

    Re: Does you Wifi search for networks every 10 seconds? If you are on Sprint, it could be that connection optimizer BS they include. Even when disabled it still goes and searches for wifi connections.

    Camera: Best Settings for Indoor Sports?

    Last time I used my Canon 70D to shoot volleyball it was with a 70-200 2.8 lens, shutter set to 1/500, and ISO 3200. Shooting inside gyms are really difficult with any gear. I would set the camera to manual, RAW/Jpeg, try out shutter speed of 1/250 or 1/400, and then raise the ISO till the...

    G4 - Great Voice/ Call Quality

    Bump. This is my same problem. I was just talking over the phone while outside and the volume was just too low for me to hear them. Turned the volume all the way up, played with the setting to "enhance voice" (which did the opposite), but nothing.

    Noob question: Wifi tethering for rooted users is completely free on sprint? can you get caught?

    Point was that the carrier do sneaky stuff without letting you know. Fortunately for us, Sprint doesnt care as long as you dont do illegal stuff (download child pron), or roam too much.

    Noob question: Wifi tethering for rooted users is completely free on sprint? can you get caught?

    It is actually very easy to tell if someone else was using your wifi. Check router logs or history of mac addresses. That should say who connected, when, etc. You could even set further detailed login and see what porn they were watching. But maybe you really dont want to know. Can Sprint...

    Jelly Bean bugs/issues

    I was having great battery life (2 days worth) and today I got hit with the media bug. Check my phone and battery is already down to 83%. Check Battery status and Media is up to 73%. Usually I use about 1% an hour. Last thing I did yesterday was update google maps to the latest. Phone rebooted...

    Sprint galaxy s3 jelly bean battery drain

    Has OP tried resetting the phone? By that I mean factory reset, clear all. Just make backups of anything on the SD card. Dont sign up for services like Google Now or facebook temporarily. These are battery hogs. Only other thing Id recommend is root and debloat. I upgraded to JB and didnt even...

    Phone performance after software update

    Did you disable Sprint's speed optimizer? Its enabled by default. It turns wifi on by itself to see if it can hop on an open wifi connection, improving your data speeds but could mess with your voice radio. Once you disable it dont go and check the settings again, else it will enable

    Apps Safe to Remove from Samsung Galaxy S3 (Sprint Version, Stock Rooted)

    Which might not be a disadvantage after all. Ive been burned by updates that cripple the phone. Its better to just wait a few days and see what the other people say about it.
