Space key stopped autofilling punctuation in text messages Never mind. I fixed it. Please ignore post.You have to turn off word suggestions. I can't find a way to delete this whole post. In text messages, it used to be that when you type the Space key, the 'word' suggestions above the...

Get rid of Google Maps v7 and replace with v6 How do I remove Google Maps v7 and install v6? v7 is a disaster because Google removed a bunch of critically important useful functions. Nexus 4, Android 4.4.4 - Is this posted in the right forum? I don't understand when are you supposed to post...

Factory restore worked. What I was saying - sorry, wasn't clear - is that it does not in fact restore to a factory state in any sense of the word. All it does is remove apps and settings - it even left all my photos on the phone! WTF - there is no universe where that could be considered...

This worked and did exactly what I needed. Thanks - but "start there" wouldn't have been any help. Start what? I'm afraid no amount of reading is going to be much help as long as the term 'factory restore' doesn't even remotely do anything like restoring a phone to factory state. I never...

I don't understand anything in that post except the word "use". Sorry.

They both assume prior knowledge of ADB and fastboot! I've been at this for 15 hours and am stuck on step 2 because fastboot isn't doing anything. I just get no response, or else "waiting for device". As for ADB, after 15 hours I still have no idea what to do with it. Meanwhile my phone is...

The instructions are missing some essential information. Without it, the tutorial isn't usable. I've already spent five hours going through it. - What exactly do you do with the ADB and fastboot files? All it says is, "know where they are" and "make sure they're set up? - ?!? - What exactly do...

The white background on the Kitkat dialer and contacts is burning my eyes. How can I get a black background with white and blue text like in Jellybean? All the dialer apps I've tried can be made black when you're first dialing a number BUT - Once you are in a call and need the number pad...
