Root or upgrade to 4.4.2 first?
I've just received a new Android phone (an LG G2 D802 32GB). I haven't put my sim card in, or signed into Google yet. I know there is an OTA to upgrade it from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2. Should I root the phone and then start setting it up, or is it best to carry out the OTA first?

CyanogenMod 10 Galaxy Tab 10.1 USB Driver

With this driver I can debug my applications on the device, but I can not see mounted storage under My Computer. Do I need to install other...

The email worked fine until two days ago: I tried to download an application that was too large for the internal memory, and the installation failed. Right after that email syncing stopped -- whenever I asked it to sync, a ...

After dialing, I turn the screen off, and put the phone to my ear. But then, when someone answers my call, it turns back on, and th...

Why is DoubleTwist launching and playing when I remove the headphones?
I can't figure this out. It _appears_ that if I'm using Google Listen, and I remove the headphones from the jack, Listen automatically pauses (which I expect). But then DoubleTwist launches, chooses an MP3 at random, and starts playing (which I don't want). Further, it _seems_ that if I pause Listen before I pull the j...

Trying to preview docs in Gmail (Android 4.4)
I am using an HTC One M8 (unrooted). When in Gmail and trying to "preview" an attachment, I am no longer to do so. So far I'm getting around it by simply saving it and going to my downloads folder, but it's (hopefully) something I can fix. The file types I'm trying to preview are only .pdf and .doc. What can I do to fi...
