I recently rooted my T-Mobile G2 Android phone and am pretty lost on what comes next. My biggest problem right now is I still cant move some apps to my SD card, when I go into manage applications, the move to SD is still greyed out on most app's like facebook, and other big ones. And my phone is so full i can't download anything without deleting something as well, but my SD card is almost empty.I would also very much appreciate any help with what comes next like what the best ROM to install is,...

My wifi signal seems to be much weaker on my S3 than it was on my last phone. Is there anything I can do to increase that?

When we think of search it's usually in regards to the internet. But when you are using a smartphone, searching your device itself can be just as important and useful.

Yesterday, the much anticipated iOS 6.1 jailbreak was released. With the wide array of Cydia apps that are newly available to jailbroken iPhones came an unpleasant surprise—evasi0n causes the built-in iOS Weather app to crash over and over.

Last night, I was using a Bluetooth speaker - made by Logitech - with my Nexus 7 but kept loosing connectivity. I went ahead and paired with another speaker from a different manufacturer and kept having the same issue. Is this problem universal to the Nexus 7?

Last night I fell asleep while watching a movie. My battery was already low so I assume the charge ran out. Now, my Nexus 7 will not recharge. What now?!

I just turned on full disk encryption and spent a little over an hour waiting for the process to finish. My wonderful little tablet, which used to be fast, is now moving like a bloated pig. Is this the norm? Any workarounds?

My screen flickers in a very annoying way. I have noticed this typically occurs when I am in low lighting conditions. Is this unique to my device or has anyone else had similar issues?

I am looking for full screen boot animations. Most of the ones I have found are tiny and I want something that has more of a visual impact. Suggestions?

If you have a Mac running Mountain Lion, I'm sorry to tell you that all it takes to crash almost any app on it is eight little characters.

When it comes to live wallpaper for your Android device, the choices are pretty much limitless. Anything from a planet's elliptical orbit around the sun to a school of fish swimming across your screen are just a click and a download away.

I being a big dumb-ass bought two different Palm devices.

Cassette tapes, much like the boombox, Walkman, and record player, aren't used much anymore. With the ability to put music on our smartphones, most of us don't carry tapes or CDs around because it now seems inconvenient.

Obviously Google doesn't expect people to use the camera on the Nexus 7 since I can't seem to find an app on the tablet.

Do you guys remember those things you hold with your fingers to write stuff down? I think they're called pens, or something like that...

If you don't have a car, or just prefer to take public transit to work, you know that an unexpected change in the weather can quickly...er, dampen your day. If you're not expecting it, rain or snow can turn your trip into a long, hellish ordeal—especially if you bike.

The first alarm clock in recorded history can be traced back to ancient Greek philosopher Plato, known for laying the foundations of Western philosophy and science. Plato was said to possess a very large water clock with an alarm signal similar to that of a water organ.

I love YouTube for listening to music I don't already have on my phone or in my iTunes library, but there is one very simple thing that you think they would've figured out by now—the ability to have your video continue to play outside of the app!

YouTube is the third most popular website in the world, after Google and Facebook. Millions of subscriptions happen each day on YouTube, with over 800 million unique users visiting each month. In that timespan, roughly 4 billion hours of video are watched, with 72 hours of video uploaded every single minute.

I recently wrote about Twitter's super now app called Vine, which lets people create 6 second video clips that can be embedded in a tweet.

What is the fastest (and best) way to create a call rejection list? I want to also have the ability to play specific messages to certain numbers. Can I do this through my carrier or do I need to download an app? Please excuse my ignorance as I just broke free from my iPhone.

Just about anyone who's been gaming for a long time occasionally feels nostalgic for the simpler consoles of yesteryear. I don't play much anymore, but my grandmother (yes, grandmother) got me started on NES when I was about three years old, and most days I'd still take that over the 360 or PS3.

I had my wallet stolen a few months ago, and I knew I would never see it again. My biggest gripe was not the credit cards in there, since they're easily cancelled, but the gift cards. I had some pretty good gift cards in there, and there's no way to get those back.

I have a nephew heading to college this summer. He is going to be a liberal arts major and plans on writing a lot. Since it is his birthday next month I was debating the merits of buying him a Nexus 7 versus a Chromebook.

Hey, I recently upgraded to Jelly Bean and thought that my battery was the only thing going to take a hit.

For reason's known only to myself I am going to configure my Nexus 7 to run multiple ROMs (side-by-side).

Yeah, I have encountered a few and I am sure you have as well.

Glorious news Brothers and Sisters!

I take a great personal interest in what are classified as "Man In The Middle" (MITM) attacks. First they are one of the hardest forms of surveillance to detect.

Okay, here is a list of useful tips for getting more out of your phone.

Good question. I encourage additional clarifications but here is my opinion of the term.

I can definitely say that my MacBook is one of my best friends, but I was still very disappointed when I realized that the only game my laptop came with was chess. For starters, I'm not very good at chess. I haven't even beat the computer once, which really grinds my gears.

If you have an iPhone, you probably already updated to iOS 6.1, which was released earlier this week. The new release came with some very subtle updates, including LTE support for more carriers, the ability to purchase movie tickets from Fandango via Siri, some security patches, and more.

As much as I love my Samsung Galaxy S3, I'm always on the lookout for cool features I can borrow from other smartphones. One of the most recent "borrowed" features I've added to my S3 is the Galaxy Note 2's smart rotation feature, which uses the front camera to detect my face-to-screen angle, which then rotates my screen accordingly.

Streaming video has definitely changed how we watch movies and television shows, but with the constantly growing number of services out there, it can be hard to keep track of who's got what. Who's got Disney now? Starz? Netflix? Who knows. And when you add sites that let you rent or purchase titles, you could spend all evening trying to find something to watch.

It is a dirty tireless job...but I am looking for community members that stand above their peers. Individuals who actually believe that can make a difference. Together we can rule this Universe as Father and son...or as Father and daughter.

For the most part, nobody makes money off of Facebook. Sure, some people make a living by updating pages for businesses and celebrities, but hardly anyone gets a dime from the site itself.

It's finally here. After months of amazing games and one of the best playoffs I've seen in years, two teams have finally made it to the top of the mountain. The Baltimore Ravens and the San Fransisco 49ers are set to square off February 3rd at the Mercedes Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana for Super Bowl 47.

I have been trolling WonderHowTo for the past 3 years (actually since I began to root Android and jailbreak iOS smartphones, that is, if you actually consider Apple products to be "smart."). Anyway, I started this forum (and the Samsung Galaxy S3 Forum) because I actually bricked a few devices - which, as you can imagine, really screwed up my day - and wanted a place in which we could share lessons learned (or whatever).

Google Play continues to grow faster than the iOS App Store and may even hit the million app mark before Apple does. In the Android market, you'll find apps for everything, ranging from augmented reality multiplayer games like Ingress to wireless computer mouse apps like WiFi Mouse.
