I use my Android tablets for reading, using Google Play Books. I prefer a bright white background. With my Nexus 7 (2013) it's a pure white background, just the way I like it. With the Tab S 8.4 I can't seem to achieve bright white. It's more like a light sepia. I know sepia is a choice but that's a very dark (to my eyes) background. I've also played around with the Screen Mode but none of the choices seem to change the GPB background at all. I've turned Reading Mode on and off but I don't see any difference.

I know there are other reading apps but I like having a large library stored in the Google cloud and the ability to switch devices and have the bookmark change with it.

Any suggestions on how to change the background color for just Google Play Books?

Zeus Toolkit was first put into development in january of 2014 for the use with the Allwinner A13 tablets. Since its birth the tool has progressed rapidly with new functions which make repairing/modifying a breeze compared to doing it all from a command prompt and coding scripts etc..

The tool can automate tasks which some might find hard to do manually for instance editing the script.bin

I'm randomly getting a invalid SIM. Sometimes this causes the phone to do this stupid countdown thing and restart. Is anyone else seeing this issue, does any have any idea how to fix it? I requested a new SIM card but it's not fixed the issue in the slightest.

Hello guys I just wanted to share my knowledge in something related to the camera of our beastly phone and please share your thoughts as well I want to make sure because there are a lot of videos is showing something not real in the phone while comparing to others

OIS : is a hardware thing not a software and it can't be switched off or played with ... it's used in all the video qualities including the 4k ....
DIS : is a software process that is customizable with a switch one and off and used only for 1080p and 720p (30 fps )

He funny part the when u close the dis and the phone use only the ois the video become wobbly right ? and sharp movement but with he dis it's smooth video and some times it shakes really hard and cropped not like the normal video u shoot with the ois ...


If you have anything you would like to say or any video to compare please share...
I'm not sure if I'm right or wrong.

Yes, to skip activation, use 4 corners method or Boot Android {No BP}

• Boot Android {No BP}: Power on phone holding volume down, when you see fast boot keep taping volume down till you see "Boot Android {No BP}" and press volume up.
  It will boot you into Google Setup....just click the green guy then select the "skip" option for the rest of the setup. When you get to the location service consent section with the 3 options just don't select any and you will boot to the regular homescreen with no service.

Hello,

I've broke the screen on my Nokia Lumia 520 and the touch screen is no longer working.

Thank you so much!

Working 6 months with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (910F), 5 Years with Samsung

I am not a regular user / buyer. I have many smartphones and when I like a brand, i am buying everything i can from the same brand.
Until 5 years ago, I was working only with HTC. I bought 8 HTC smartphones.
And then I discovered Samsung.
From then, I bought 10 Samsung smartphones, 3 Samsung Smart TVs and more.
But my passion to Samsung started to crack, and all because of my Note 4 issues.
When I received the Note 4, it was amazing - excellent battery life, everything worked perfect.
And then came updates...
After the first update, the Note 4 started to have bluetooth issues - I need to make restart twice a day in order to work with my bluetooth headsets (even with Samsung headsets).
With more updates, the battery life dropped dramatically. After the Lollipop update, the battery is dropping 3-5% per hour, without using it. Android OS and bluetooth dropped the most.
Dont tell me to make hard reset - I made it twice.
Its time to leave Samsung and work with a company that can give me what Samsung gave me until two years ago.
Samsung will need to convince me that it improved before I will return.

Hi guys

I have recently acquired a Nexus 6 and therefore do not know its history...

When I turn it on, the Google logo appears but half of the screen is corrupt.

That "corruption" then disappears downwards and the four balls appear. The phone then appears to restart. The device is recognised in Device Manager as 'MTP Device'.

I have attached two images to illustrate the problem.

Is this a faulty motherboard?

I could use some help guys.

I want to use stock wallpapers and stock live wallpapers on Rmod v3.How can I do it?

So i have a moto g 2014. It refuses to boot. When the battery dies, you can charge it to boot for like 2-3 minutes. Then it just dies. But if put in fastboot mode it stays like that forever. It isn't rooted. I can factory reset it but it will probably get working like normal; but i want the data !
Plus it isnt rooted! What can I do to get the data back and then further a remedy for how to get it working again.

Warning to anyone getting a new phone through the screen assurance phone... The other day I was running to get out of the rain and my phone fell and the screen broke. The screen became unresponsive and eventually went black. The phone would still vibrate so I knew it wasn't totally dead.

I went into the Verizon store and told them what happened and they said I would get a new phone this week and to send mine back (awesome right?). Well after doing some research on the screen assurance program, there was a big warning about being charged for the price of a new phone (which is crap, because they send you a refurb and not a new phone) if there is anything other than a crack in the display. Well this got me concerned because my screen wouldn't even come on and there was some cosmetic damage to the bezel from the drop.

I called Verizon to make sure that I wasn't going to get charged for a new phone if mine didn't meet their qualifications. I asked if I could send the new one back if they found other issues with my phone, such as water damage, and they said I could but they would not be able to send my old phone back either. I was ok with that, even though I'm out a phone after only 5 months...The screen assurance program was the only reason I cancelled my insurance. I have never reuined a phone besides a cracked screen.

The representative called me back a half an hour later and told me that she had made some calls and that if they found anything wrong with the phone that didn't meet the screen assurance program requirements that I would be charged REGARDLESS if I returned the replacement phone. She said that I am just better off not returning it if it didn't meet the requirements.

My questions for her were - how am I supposed to know if it doesn't meet the requirements? I have no idea what the requirements are as far a physical damage, because they are extremely vague on the FAQ's. I also asked her how I was supposed to know if there is water damage? These phones are splash resistant, so even though it was in the rain, doesn't mean it has water damage.
Her only response was pretty much that she was sorry but there was nothing that they could do and I would be charged the price of a new phone if there was anything wrong with it.

So at the end of the day BEWARE of the screen assurance program, Verizon will still find a way to screw you out of more money. If you return your broken phone it is up to "the warehouse" to determine if you will get charged 0 or not.
