    Thread Recent Development

    So I read in another thread that "development for [this phone] is pretty much dead." I haven't checked in for a very long time, like since a few weeks after launch. I was wondering what the extent of modding was with the AT&T S7 Edge without tripping Knox. I'm mainly concerned with not disabling...

    Thread Major security issue

    Can anyone else confirm that while the phone is locked, you can double-click the home button to launch the camera, wait a few seconds, hit the back button, and the homescreen will appear without a fingerprint scan or pattern unlock?

    Thread Another Galaxy S, another battery that can't be removed

    So does anyone else break into a cold sweat at the thought of hacking an $800 device that can't be battery-pulled in an emergency? Not to mention if the battery dies mid-day you can't swap it for a fully charged one. There are methods of mitigating this inconvenience but there is really no...

    Thread Looking for PhilZ Touch Recovery

    So I've been having issues lately with my phone on Goldeneye, mostly that whenever I update an app the phone adds the size of the update to the amount used on the internal storage instead of replacing, leading the phone to report that I'm out of space. I realize I could just factory reset on the...

    Thread Cracked screen. Can't see anything

    Well as the title says, I dropped my SGS4 and it must have landed on just the right spot on the top left corner. I put it back together and turned it on, only to find that I couldn't see anything and the touch screen isn't responding. I'm on Mint Jelly version 1 so my recovery is the Aroma. Is...

    Thread Cell phone detection

    Hello all, This thread has a bit of a CIA feel to it. I was wondering if my phone (or any phone for that matter) has a radio capable of promiscuous mode. I.e the ability to passively observed the APN and/or data traffic flying through the air around it. I have an idea for useful apps if there...

    Thread Facebook has been glitchy lately.

    Hello all, I'm sure you all know how many problems the Facebook for Android app has been having lately. I had a version that worked without any problems, that I could see anyway. My issue is that I accidentally deleted the Titanium Backup backup of it and can't remember which version it was...

    Thread Terrible battery life

    Hmm this is just kinda disturbing. Is Facebook really that much of a battery hog? And could anything else be draining it so bad? Sent from my SGH-I897 using xda premium

    Thread Are there any apps that are booby trapped?

    Are there any stock apps that other apps rely on to function, or cause the phone to stop working properly if you uninstall them? For example, Handcent has an option that allows you to make it handle all MMS and SMS messages for the phone. But if you uninstall the stock texting app (Mms.apk) you...

    Thread Battery showing random charge

    I'm not sure if this is a common problem or not but lately I've noticed that when I unplug my phone after it says 100% charged, it immediately drops to a lower number. At first it would stay between 97 and 99, but i have seen it go as low as 45. I've tried several things like not installing the...

    Thread [Q] Darky's 10.2 RE causing softkeys to screw up.

    I just used Odin to flash Darky's 10.2 RE (with plans to flash 10.2.2 and DarkCore 4.1 over it) from the Stock 2.3.5 with Bootloaders and before I did anything else to the phone, I checked to see if the softkeys are acting the way they should. This is because I tried to do it straight from...

    I apologize in advance if this issue has been addressed in another thread. Searching for such a thread has been a pain in the butt though for the following reasons.

    Thread Water damage ruins HD screen

    I recently dropped my phone in water. It was only submerged for a few seconds, and the litmus paper inside the battery compartment wasn't even tripped. The sliding door on the USB port was open, however, so I suspect water got in either through that or the headphone jack. The screen is...
