    Motorola Droid Maxx Vs. Samsung Galaxy S4 Vs. Samsung Galaxy Nexus

    As a developer, I would recommend a Galaxy S4 at the moment. The main issue with android phones is the lack of updates/support after some years, but development for this model is very intensive (the S4 and Nexus will receive the android 4.4 update). Furthermore, it's very powerful and will run...

    Laptop that looks like a Macbook pro??

    Moto X vs Iphone 5s

    Very hard to tell...trying another USB cable to charge your device or changing the battery are the first two things that you should try.

    screen freezes while i'm making call

    That's likely a problem with the light sensor. Make sure that there's nothing obstructing it. A quick workaround for this would be to go to Settings -> Call Settings and there's an option here to keep the screen on during calls. Also, depending on your android version, there's usually an option...

    How can I connect to my android device is it is powered off?

    The kernel needs to be working if you want to connect your device to the computer. Why can't it be turned on ? The only way to access the internal storage from a dead phone that I know of would be to open it and use specialized tools to connect directly to the flash memory chip, which is a...

    Looking into Android Tablets, Up to $150

    The galaxy tab II 7" often sells around 130-140$ and is a very good tablet for the price. Reliable, fast, highly customizable, reasonable battery life and Samsung offers very good Android products and keeps them updated (well..most of them...).

If the kernel source code is indeed available, then you...

    Did you install any app prior to the bug ? Is your tablet rooted ? Did you change the android OS ? Do you see a moving animation or the image stands still ? If you did not change anything, you can try this...I don't know if it'll work with your device, as I don't know that model, but if nothing...
