    Post Stock Email App - Loading Messages

    So - some more info...I've had this issue for a while - but forget when it started and have been using other apps - which I don't like. I've even tried the "new gmail-styled" email app - and didn't care for it either. So after doing some more digging - I found that after people upgraded to...

    Post Stock Email App - Loading Messages

    Appreciate the reply - but I'm not interested in any 3rd party apps. I'd like to get the stock one working. I've removed the app & reinstalled it (rooted & replaced secemail_j.apk and installed) - and still no dice. About the next thing I can try is a factory reset of the device - but I really...

    Thread Stock Email App - Loading Messages

    Looking for some additional ideas - and I've checked/tried a lot. I actually like the stock email app. Having an issue with Yahoo mail accounts on it. I can send/receive messages fine. I can view messages in my Inbox. However, when I try to go to Sent Items - it hangs on "Loading Messages"...

    Post [Q] Status Bar Email Notifications Changed?

    The icons in the status bar used to look like smaller versions of these. Anyone else notice this or have this problem. Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Free mobile app

    Thread [Q] Status Bar Email Notifications Changed?

    Howdy all. Just updated to OTA KitKat on my Note 3 - and one thing I noticed is that the icons for new emails - the ones that show up in the status bar on the left - have changed. Before, I would have different icons for yahoo, Hotmail & gmail. Now - the yahoo ones are the same as Hotmail -...

    Post OTA Kit Kat thread for non-rooted phones.

    Basic Visual Voice Mail So "Basic" Visual Voicemail is now "free" after the update, eh? Cool. That's the first thing I noticed. Says you can have up to 20 3-minute phone calls stored. Buh-bye Google Voice...1 less app I need to have installed now. Groovy. Although I just set it up (removed...

    Thread [Q] Alarm Sound Duration - How to Make Longer?

    On my Galaxy Note 3 with 4.3 MJ7 - seems the stock alarm clock app only allows an alarm to run for 1 minute & then it silences itself automatically. I have a "zen alarm" tone that runs for 10 minutes. It chimes once at the beginning, then again like 3 minutes in, again 5 minutes in, again 7...

    Thread [Q] SafeStrap, Rom & Titanium Backup Related Questions

    Howdy all - been doing a lot of reading about rooting & custom ROM's and am looking for a little bit of clarification. My Note 3 had MI9 when I got it and I took the OTA to make it MJ7. I have root working well & paid version of Titanium Backup installed. I have Safe Strap 3.65 installed as...

    Post ClockworkMod MJ7

    I see what you're saying OP. ROM Manager on mine says Clockwork Mod Recovery is actually installed - but it doesn't function. I think this was a good question & being that it's in the Q & A section, I expected it to be a question about it, not an announcement that it was working. Heck, I...

    Post ClockworkMod MJ7

    Interesting that you even get presented with choices to install a recovery. Mine says there isn't any available yet for my device. Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda app-developers app

    Post KHOMO Samsung Galaxy S4 Back Cover

    Agreed - not very grippy at all. As a matter of fact, I'd argue that it's just as slippery smooth as the stock battery door. It does look better though. I wish it was truly a rubber back with some gripability. As often as I drop this phone while trying to one-hand-manipulate it - I may need to...

    Post How to get CUSTOM RECOVERY onto my S4 on MJ7?

    Not sure if the OP tried to use the search - but I've tried to use it several times over the past week and have gotten error messages from the site each & every time. As a matter of fact - prior to submitting this reply - I received two different error messages when trying to search the word...

    Post [Q] MJ7 - Rooted - Dialer & Contacts Screen?

    So then the only option to modify the dialer & contacts screens are for me to dig into the files that make them up & edit as needed, or, install one of those custom dialer apps from the Store to run along side the existing dialer? I guess I assumed there would be some tool or utility similar to...

    Post [Q] Why does everyone care about the "custom" screen so much?

    No big deal for me either. I customize everything - cars, trucks, jeeps, motorcycles, guns, etc - so I LIKE that it says "Custom" when I reboot ;)

    Thread [Q] MJ7 - Rooted - Dialer & Contacts Screen?

    Tried to search the forums, but I keep getting a message the search function is down. I've browsed a bit anyway and searched on the interwebs, but not finding what I'm looking for. I hate the phone screen colors; this includes everything under phone/groups/favorites/contacts. I have Wanam...
