    Thread Unlocked or carrier model?

    I have to root my phones (not wanting to pay $30 for Verizon tether), is anyone aware if the Pixel 4 XL from Verizon will have the bootloader locked, and unable to be rooted? In addition to that, would we see a root for the unlocked version? Thanks

    Thread Strange WiFi connection issues

    We have two Note 7 devices and they both experience problems when connected to WiFi on Google Play and tumblr. Samsung had us erase the device cache and factory reset, neither fixed the issue. They said to swap the devices, but since both are doing it, we highly suspect that it could be the...

    Thread [Q] Help selecting KK ROM?

    I'm looking for help selecting a ROM that is stable. I've flashed about a half dozen ROMS over the past few months and seem to have to switch because of bugs.

    Thread [Q] Netflix and button lights

    I noticed during the video playback the capacitive lights are always on. Not like the YouTube app where they only light if you press one of them. Anyone else notice this? It's rather annoying when watching movies in the dark. I don't want to disable them completely and my phone came with the...

    I've been using AOKP's milestone 5 for some time, but it doesn't look like they are going to make any fixes for it. I randomly lose radio completely, system UI crash, etc. Can anyone recommend a solid 4.2 ROM? On Verizon Nexus

    Thread Charging fails while tethering

    Thread [Q] Recommend a ROM?

    Can anyone recommend a ROM for someone who likes a stable phone, but also wants features like OC? I'd love to have something that auto updates (or manually updates) over the air so I don't have to keep re-installing all my apps. Currently on Android Revolution 2.1.3, but it reboots daily.

    Is there anyway to jump to the end of the page or top of the page in the built in browser? Viewing some really long webpages that have "next" at the very end. Would love to discover some browser shortcuts.

    Thread Where is the Sprint provided screen protector?

    I read there is a provided screen cover with the 3VO, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone fill me in on exactly where it might be in the box? There isn't much there, but I may have possibly looked right past it.
