    Thread How to bypass the pattern lock - nothing dodgy!

    Hi, I've got an old Z Ultra that I'd like to use as a tablet. It's the perfect size and spec for me. I can use it for browsing at home and then slip it in my pocket if I wanna take it with me. There's a problem though - there's a screen lock on it and I can't for the life of me remember the...

    Thread "Download Booster" that uses 4g and wifi simultaneously

    Hey everybody. I'm thinking of buying this tablet but I first want to know if it can use wifi and 4g at the same time, like the Download Booster feature on recent Samsung phones.

    Hey everybody, I'm a bit fed up of waiting for ICS to be released for my mini pro (SI 1249-4852 - UK generic) I've rooted my phone and can edit the build.prop file to trick SEUS (or whatever it's called now) into downloading an update, but what should I change my SI to? Are there any generic...

    Thread sk17i mini pro - remote control earphones?

    Do you guys know of any in-line remote control earphones that work with the mini pro? I've been searching the internet and apparently, the mini pro has a non-standard 3.5 jack. If you plug some regular earphones in the socket or use the pre-packaged earphones in another device the sound gets...

    Thread [Q] How to silence incoming calls in SwiftDroid?

    Hi, I'm running Mur4ik's Swiftdroid 1.8 and I'm mostly very impressed. HOWEVER, I can't figure out how to silence incoming calls. My old ROM let me slide right to answer the call and slide left to silence it (and slide left once again to reject the call). I can't figure out how to get this...
