    Thread Ability to "lock" kids tablets on demand

    I am sorry if this has been asked in other ways, or there is a simple fix. Basically the issue is we have two kids, one with an android tablet, the other a fire 7. Sometimes we let them play on their tablets before bed, and then tell them its bedtime, they plug it in (if not already) and...

    Thanks, I thought I was going crazy, as I took some time off from the "flashing rom community" and it just seem so much more difficult from what I remembered from the OG Droid/ S3/Droid Turbo

    This is probably a stupid question, but why does it seem like this process has gotten so much harder over the years?? I remember with my old phone, once the bootloader was unlocked, and phone was rooted, I could always load up twrp or whatever, flash a rooted rom, and be set. Now it seems like...

    Is anything special needed for verizon users to be able to take advantage of the LTE-A mode, or would we automatically get that signal (its available in my location) http://www.droid-life.com/2016/08/29/verizon-lte-a-advanced-network-cities/#more-190674

    This might not be the case anymore, but I know over the years my phones would do that too, and I want to say the reason is because there was different signal strengths between data signal and voice signal. However, I want to say that as of 4G LTE, that it no longer works that way.

    the only issue I have been having with 1.3.7 is I set up the "smart lock" feature to keep my phone unlocked based on a few GPS coordinates, and I am noticing that it only seems to work maybe half of the time, almost as if my GPS isnt updating enough.

    once you activate the hotspot, via settings --> more --> tethering & mobile hotspot --> the second option should be a slider to turn on/off mobile hotspot. Turn it on, then the menu below for mobile hotspot settings should no longer be grayed out, then choose configure mobile hotspot.
