    Thread [Q] Adding a photo to Android 5 User Account?

    I've seen it's possible to have a user profile photo display as your user icon when you swipe down to show the notification bar in Lollipop. However, mine just shows the generic bobblehead icon - although I have a perfectly good profile photo on my Google account. Am I being an idiot and...

    Thread [review] Ringke Slim case and Supcase black/clear case

    I ordered the Ringke Slim case and Supcase black/clear case to do some comparisons. They were both pretty cheap. Foxgguy2001 already did a pretty comprehensive review of the Supcase (and posted a Photoshop template for the back, very handy!) so I won't do an entirely new review. However, just...

    Thread [Q] Orphaned media files (alarm sounds etc) exist but not present in media database?

    On my SGS3 (running CM 10.1.3) I have an odd problem where audio files have gone missing from the media database, although the file is obviously still on the phone (and I can't find them with ES Explorer or even manually looking through the SQLite database). Example: See how the alarm sound...

    Thread Ren, now earpiece vibrates / rattles during call?

    I had to replace the screen and digitiser on my TP2 after shutting it in the boot of a car (clever huh?). I accomplished the swap surprisingly easily after buying a pre-built screen and digitiser from Hong Kong for about £25. It even came with a spudger to help me take it apart :) I followed a...

    Thread [Q] TouchLockPro setup guide for dummies?

    Thread [Q] Dutty's HD v1.7 - unable to change in-call volume

    I've been loaned a Blackstone running Dutty's HD V1.7 (which I know is a bit old, but it's not my phone so I can't really go updating it unless I get the owner's permission). The volume app is quite nice, with the System Volume & Ring Volume tabs, but I can find no way at all to raise / lower...

    Thread Which ROM is most like Josh's + CRC's rolled into one?

    I've been flashing a fair few ROMs in the past week or so, and I've come to the realisation that I like two ROMs more than any others: Josh's M2DLite, and CRC's 13.4 release. Frustratingly, there's just a couple of things wrong with each release that leave me stuck and unable to choose between...

    Thread Is there a simple way to downgrade to WM6 or WM6.1 after installing WM6.5?

    I've read people saying that it is possible to downgrade back to WM6.1 or 6.0 after upgrading to WM6.5. I'm trying out some new ROMs on my Hermes, but I don't want to be stuck with a WM6.5 ROM if I decide that I don't like a ROM after I flash it... I have HardSPL Olipro on my handset. Say for...

    Thread What's your battery life like? (WM6 & WM6.1 welcome)

    I'm curious to know what other people experience in terms of battery life. I've just put a fresh 1500mAh battery into my phone, and I've flashed it with two ROMs in as many days. I got average battery life out of the first ROM I tried (Schap's v4.31 Full), but I'm currently running with CRC's...

    Thread What software do you use to back up your device before a flash?

    I've spent a little time adding a few apps to my current Schaps reflash, but I'm about to flash again with CRC's latest 6.1 build as there's a few lingering problems with Schaps' WM6 rom. I backed up my data (or at least I thought I did) before flashing the first time with SPB Backup, but it...

    Thread What's the best way to fix my sticky E key?

    I've used my Hermes for a long time and the E key is starting to stick. specifically, I have to push it down a lot harder than any of the other keys (so it slows down my typing and if I forget, I end up typing a whole sentence without any letter Es in!) which is really annoying. What's the best...

    Thread Call History / Call Register not reflecting latest calls

    Interesting problem this. I'd reached 1999 calls held in the call timers (1999 calls, 5122 min, 32 sec) and my call register showed calls from the last two or three months. I noticed after a while that new incoming/outgoing calls weren't being registered in the Call Register, so I tried...

    Thread Services for translating web sites to low-bandwidth versions - any suggestions?

    I know of loband.org and html2text.com , but there's another site I used a while ago which I can't remember the name of - it was a simple design, just a box where you entered the URL in the middle of the page and a go button - and it brought back a fairly well-done low-bandwidth version of the...

    Thread Any way to change the persistence of the new voicemail notification?

    Whenever I get a new voicemail, I get the notification and the little tape icon on my top bar - but I can't dismiss the notification like I can, say, a new text message. It's always there, I can hide but it's still there, taking up my left soft key - which I already have assigned for other...

    Ok, this is a real doozy. This happened on my original Hermes, and now it's happening on my (three day old!) new one too (just tried to Ring Areti Internet to speak to someone on behalf of one of my clients, and the moment I pressed 0 to speak to someone the microphone seems to just cut out)...

    Edit: This bug is now resolved. Hi, just something I've noticed - when using the Quick reply box on this forum, for some reason (at least on my PC, but I'm pretty sure it's not a problem at my end because no other forum does it) it modifies the input locale to the US English keyboard layout, so...

    Only just noticed this, but rapimgr.exe (a part of ActiveSync 4) is using 100% of my CPU all the time, and about 55-60% of my core CPU time (which is what REALLY bogs the system down) all the time, regardless of whether my Alpine's docked or not.
