Will a Samsung Galaxy S3 4G/LTE bought in the US work or be made to work on UK 4G?
I'm researching which phone to buy next and have mostly decided on a Samsung Galaxy S3. I'm on T-Mobile in the UK, which will probably transition to everything-everywhere in short order, who are launching a 4G service. I'd like to get the US variant of the phone because it is built with 2Gb of RAM and a 1.5GHz processo...

Problems with SetCPU on Sidekick 4G
I installed SetCPU on my SK4G today, and for the most part things are running fine and I haven't had any problems. At first I was getting a lot of lag and my phone kept freezing, so I checked this post and it helped me out a lot. But I ran into one more problem. My phone keeps shutting off and I have to take out the ba...

Is there a PDF reader with DRM support and width locking?
Currently I'm using Aldiko, but every time I flip the page it's resized to fit the screen which is too small to read. Other programs don't support DRM again. So is there something to allow fixed (or configurable) width for reading DRM protected PDFs?

SmartBook Surfer - Bootmanager broken after ROM-flash
I recently installed the VegaComb ROM to my Smartbook Surfer MN10U. Obviously I got the wrong ROM, which causes a boot loop. The worse problem is, that I'm now unable to access the Clockwork Bootmanager. Since the Smartbook seems to have no connection options to a PC (as far as I researched, there is no cable to plug i...

different way of securing applications
In my phone instead of unlocking screen by providing "symbol", I'd like the phone to unlock to most of my applications without the "symbol". But for selected important applications (eg. gmail) I'd like it to ask for the symbol. It would be useful eg. when I borrow my phone someone to play games. Is there application wh...

OTA updates to CM nightly
I know that premium version of ROM manager allows OTA updates to the nightly builds and there is also the old(deprecated) cyanogen updater on google-code. Is there any way to do an OTA without using ROM manager? How does an OTA work? Does it actually just replace the existing firmware.

USB no longer stays connected
I have a Samsung Intercept running 2.2.1. I've been using USB debugging for several months, and recently (no recent changes to the phone) the connectivity just dies after a few seconds, not long enough to load new apks. The same goes for Mass Storage: it dies as soon as I try to transfer files to my computer. I have a ...

Why Android can't be just mounted?
I read a lot about rooting android, that it is risky, that I can mess all and get my device completely dead and nothing can be done about it. So my question -- why all these phones can't be just mounted? If I mess up my system with root, I always can boot with live-cd or write disk image directly to `/dev/sda`. After a...
