    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"...

    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 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 [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...

    Post Anyone on stock unrooted MJ7 (Android 4.3) build willing to test new root method?

    Not on mine for some reason. "Survival mode" is grayed out and says I need SuperSU Pro. Either way - I assume this is something I want to do? And I'll keep searching around and reading to make sure I maintain my root & don't get overwritten by an OTA from Verizon.

    Post Anyone on stock unrooted MJ7 (Android 4.3) build willing to test new root method?

    Thanks for this write up. Worked like a charm - although I had to close TB after the reboot & then re-open it for it to have root access, which makes sense. I also then went an uninstalled the Chinese SuperSU via TB, just to clean things up a bit. Quick question: in order to "keep" my root -...

    Post VRoot to SuperSU Installer

    That worked for me - although I had to close the open instance of Titanium Backup & the re-run it because it didn't have root access the when I went "back" into it. I assume it's now safe to delete the Chinese SU from my phone?

    Post VRoot to SuperSU Installer

    Gave the current version a shot myself on my SCH-i545 on MJ7 - and it's currently sitting at the "Cleaning Up Files..." spot. I did see a few notices "flash" on my phone display about ADB having superuser or something - and saw the Chinese website in that section. Couldn't read the whole...

    Thread [Q] Rookie Question - SCH-i545 Owner (Rooting & Roms)

    Howdy all - so I've spent about a week on these forums - and the interwebs in general - trying to make sense of the rooting / rom scene.

    BB vs Mogul I was a Blackberry user for about 5 years. Comparing a Blackberry (any model) to a Mogul or other PPC phone is almost an apples to oranges comparison. They are VERY different.

    Thread Alltel PPC 6800 Trade for Touch

    Ok - I'm done with my PPC-6800. Took me a 30 days to get tired of it. Looking to do an even trade with someone for an Alltel Touch. I didn't see a "for sale" section here, so thought I'd plop it here. Looking for someone who's in the same boat with their Alltel Touch - in that it works fine -...

    Post newbie - RAM on Titan?

    Without getting into too much detail, there are other processes running as well that aren't listed in the Task Manager. Think of the basic task manager as the "Applications" tab on your normal Windows task manager; it shows programs that are running. While that may be empty - if you were to...

    Also - does this problem occur EVERY time or just occasionally? I found that after I installed DCD 2.2.3 - I had problems with "X-Button" hogging up memory. Removed it and I'm fine. When that occured, if I shut off, sometimes it wouldn't turn back on. On occasion, if I've had a lot of apps...

    Great thread over at PPCGeeks that lists the basics of using your new found GPS. Search for it there, read it and follow it. You have to initialize the GPS before apps such as TomTom will see it. Several tiny apps are offered and is what I use. Takes about 30 seconds to a minute upon TomTom...

It would just hang and not do anything. It DID initially work, for quite awhile - and I did make many soft resets - and it still...
