Still running mine everyday since 2014, Plays videos perfectly on it, I mainly watch youtube on it, the OLED screen makes 1440p videos look amazing at full brightness, but on the flip side you can use a red filter and turn brightness down to 1-10% and watch videos on it in pitch black darkness...

The galaxy s7 has 8 cores; 4 are low powered and 4 are high speed , when your phone is in your pocket or idle the high powered cpu's are off, so you get long battery life and the phone stays cool. But when you run a cpu intensive task such as playing a game or heavy browsing, the phone switches...

When i connect USB otg cable with anything such as webcam or DAC after 5mins of connection the battery goes from 100% to 0% .

Im getting this problem with my Xoom (Everest/Xoom 3G), it wont power up unless it is plugged up to the power cable. Once its booted up it wakes from sleep with out the power cable fine, but just that it wont startup from cold boot. It has a CM11 4.4.4 rom, with twrp and rooted. Ive opened it...

Its fast, but doesn't see my Australian Optus sim, and im my case it disables Twrp.

I highly recommend you don't use Kingroot unless you have no choice. lots of popups, does things you don't want it too, and does not give you much control over the kingroot app. Does heaps of background wakelock activity, which you can't control, always one of the biggest battery hogs. It keeps...

I dont think we will ever get a reliable custom rom for the Xperia SX, so I have just modified the stock 4.1.2 rom, to make it faster. I used "System app remover" to get rid of all the bloatware, it lets u google info about the app directly from "System app remover", so you can decide if you...

OK i have the Xperia SX SO-05D, which is made specifically for Japanese bands, it has very limited network capability in other countries. It keeps losing reception here in Australia. So i though i try this. I followed the steps and it all when smoothly , the before and after details are...

After playing around with the clock settings on the CPU, i have realized you cant change the speed of the second core. So if you set the Frequency from 384-1026Mhz in No-frillsCPU, only core0 with stay below 1026Hmz, the second core will still go to 1512Mhz, so the battery will still drain fast...

I just got one of these, its a very nice phone, small and fast, but the battery life is bad. I have done the official 4.1.2 update, rooted it, and cleaned out all the bloat-ware. With the screen off or on low CPU usage the battery is fine, so its not a network or rouge process issue. But when...

Where does adfree(and the other apps) get its list of "ad sites" to put in the hosts file? is it a web site? This is so i can just edit the hosts file my self in the future, and keep my phone ad free. Also, i currently use the hosts file generated by adfree from my android phone and use it in...

Yeah the screen is dead, a car ran over the phone, screen is in a thousand pieces. I'm amazed the phone still works, still accepts calls.The phone cant be repaired, since there is major body damage. Just want to use it as a server, with terminal or VNC, over wifi or usb. Just wondering if...

I have a i9100 with a dead screen, but the phone works perfectly. I can take screen captures and see android running, but i can only input through the buttons. Its running stock samsung rom not rooted, kies says it has firmware: ki4 csc:kk1. Is there a rom out there that has VNC server and adb...

I Tried this rom out over the passed few days, I am disappointed. The ICS interface is awesome, but the small memory of SGS is not up to the job of running this rom . When I browse full web pages the phone locks up. opening up settings takes 3 seconds to come up. I get resets( such as when I...
