Re: Best ROM for use with FreedomPop I was going to go through that thread's instructions to flash AICP 10 (CM12.1 based) on my Galaxy S3, but seems recent posts have people reporting issues with connecting to both 4G and 3G on freedompop. Is this still working for you?

Figured it out, I'll share my findings in case someone reaches this thread by search. There are 3 services related to TMobile's wifi calling feature: 1. com.movial.wificall 2. com.movial.ipprovider 3. com.movial.ipservice I had 'pm disable com.movial.ipprovider' as root, but not #1 & #3. BTW...

I've upgraded to stock Lollipop on the D801 and noticing that every time I connect to wifi, there's a popup dialog saying: "Wi-Fi Connected You are now connected to "___" Wi-Fi Network When you see this symbol at the top of your screen you are able to use your device for calling and messaging...

Android Central rulez!

I'm disappointed with the f2.4 lens, not exactly what some Google exec promised about Nexus 5 being "leaps & bounds" ahead in camera technology. It's only slightly better than Nexus 4, if even that. I guess the best is hopefully it matches the iPhone 5S's camera.

I'd like to see some sandpaper scratch tests. Metal is softer than glass (silicon), so these tests are pointless.

Sounds like a lot of you are making judgements about Chinese phones before even trying them. You do realize HTC, Samsung, LG were all thought of as lesser brands just like Japanese cars once used to be. China is making the same in-roads, but at a much faster pace. Android is an open platform...

There are many Chinese manufacturers already planning or have released Quad-core MT6589 5+" 720p or 1080p phones for about $200 USD out of contract. Google search JiaYu G4, UMI X2, Iocean X7...etc. They're not heard of in western markets, but are very popular in emerging markets. Here's a more...

Always get info from a good reputable source rather than some tech support person who may or may not know what they're talking about: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery University Charging Lithium-Ion Batteries

BSI (Back-Side Illuminated) CMOS sensors place the light gathering part on top of the electronics, to absorb more light & help in low-light situations, it prevents slow shutter speeds that usually result in blurry pictures. It's starting to become the norm in DSLRs and even high-end digital...

It's your browser's setting that's thinking it's txt file, check settings or switch to a different browser or PC. The gapps is to ENABLE google play market downloads, it has to be separate from CM ROMs because Google legally doesn't want third party ROMs to include them. You still have to go...

Just checked link, it's working. Sometimes mediafire is down (rare). or more commonly it's your computer or browser that's not working with mediafire, try switching browsers.

According to the actual WSJ article, there's not a whole lot to go with. This may only mean that more carriers get early access to the next Android version instead of the current one at a time favorite manufacturer. The other new part is Google selling devices directly, maybe providing...

I believe BobZHome v4 is the same as the latest Mirage kernel except the former has SIO scheduler default, and latter has newer GCC 4.7 compiler optimizations. I just installed latest Mirage 0504 ROM & kernel without any problems (still on ZV5 radio), but would like to have the 4.7 optimizations...

Re: MiRaGe 04142012 Not sure how or whether these settings affect CDMA phones like the OV. According to some research: [TWEAK: GSM ONLY] Boosting Signal Strength with "ro.ril" props (HSxPA/GPRS/EDGE) build.prop ro.ril meanings - HTC Dream / HTC Magic Stable Mod - CyanogenMod Forum List of...
