I'm using WhatsApp without any issues on my Flyer and it works very well. I got the apk directly from the WhatsApp site.
I did find that I had to have my cell radio turned on to use it, though, despite the fact that the messages are sent over wifi.

Hi!
Tried Whatsapp in my Flyer and the application "could not recognize phone model".
Three weeks ago, I contacted Whatsapp-support and got the following answer "Sorry, tablets are not supported at this time and we have no plans to support them."
So bad luck for me...for now.
Pls, veethree, could you confirm the website where you downloaded the apk from?
Thanks !

Hi,
I have WhatsApp running on my Flyer P510e. I took the APK from my HTC Desire as it isn't available from the market.
WhatsApp identifies/registers itself using your devices phone number, which makes things interesting if you change SIM often - for example while travelling overseas. I doubt you will be able to get whatsapp going successfully if you have a wi-fi only Flyer or no SIM in your 3G flyer.
Cheers

How exactly do you take the .apk from your Desire? I have whatsapp going on my htc evo 4g, but I can't get it from there to my evo view 4g.
Please help.

Hi,
Before you get started you need to do a few things:
1) You need a file manager that lets you manage and backup applications you have installed on your phone. I use Astro. Install that onto both devices.
2) I transferred the APK between devices using standard bluetooth, if you want to do that then you need to activate bluetooth on both devices and pair them.
3) Almost forgot, make sure you have 'Unknown Sources' activated in the 'Applications' settings options.
So what you do is:
Enable bluetooth on both devices and make sure they are paired;
Use the Astro to make a backup of the whatsapp application. In Astro this is done via the 'Tools' menu item and the 'Application Manager/Backup' option. Select the app(s) you want to back up, then hit the 'backup' button. Backups are stored on the sdcard in the 'backups/apps' directory and should be called com.whatsapp.apk or similar. Navigate to that directory;
Long-press on the apk to activate the pop-up menu, select 'Send', then 'Bluetooth' (if bluetooth isn't available as an option then check that you have activated bluetooth). Select the flyer from the bluetooth devices list. The file transfer will start.
Now you have to switch to the flyer and accept the incoming file via the notifications panel.
After it's been transferred you just need to activate it from where it is listed in the the notifications dropdown and elect to install it. It wont install if 'Unknown Sources' is not enabled.
From there you should be able to register whatsapp. Note that each of your devices will show up as different users to your contacts on whatsapp.
Hope that helps.
Cheers

I got the apk directly from the WhatsApp website - they have a "download" section and then one for "download for Android" which saves the apk onto your PC (or your device, if you're using it to browse).
As has been said, you need a 3G model for this to work - the wifi only version probably gives issues.

Wow, thanks very much. So many times I had seen people "moving an .apk from their phone" but I never knew exactly how they did it.
That being said, it didn't work for my evo view =( Really sucks. Gotta wait for one of my friends to finally get his android so we can use google plus.

I try to do it but still can't identified. My flyer

I have successfully use and installed whatsapp (thru apk from my desire) with no problem. This was before s-off, and my software number was 1.xxSomething.
When I upgrade to 2.xxSomething and got s-off. I still successfully installed but can not launch whatsapp because of "cant identify device" error.

I also face the same problem. Cannot use whatsapp anymore

I have the exact problem. Then i install this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1175589 and now Whatsapp and Viber working fine together with the phone function for the Flyer. But the software number now is 1.38.709.7 and the ROM only in English and Chinese.

flashing to i00 rom did not fix this issue, maybe because that rom is base on 2.xx soft number.
Using titanium restore worked diff for me. it uses my phone account not my flyer gsm number.
So I flash another rom, the one from zhangip, which is base from 1.xx soft num.
Whatsapp now works normal, at last.
Thanks for the post just above.

HTC Hero trouble synchronizing with PC? Read this...

Hi Heroes
Did you ever have trouble syncing your Hero with your PC? No connection with HTC sync? Only usb connection and access to the SD card? Maybe you got no connection at all? HTC sync couldn't find the driver... Or you actually used to be able to sync, but you can't anymore?
Well, I know how annoying this can be There are a few things you might wanna try. They worked for me...
a) Get HTC sync and install the drivers.
Windows 7 users (like me) will get an additional challenge, but it is doable IF you read this this thread (entirely!)​
Remember the HTC Hero sync tab in the notification area trick (mentioned by #19 Magnus in the above thread).
Also remember #7 Daniel Kruschinski comment on restarting the phone.
b) Now, why create my own topic if every answer can be found in this thread? Simple: I DON'T WANT TO RESTART MY PHONE EACH TIME I HAVE TO SYNC!
Question:
Sync works after phone restart (if drivers are installed properly), but stops working after a while... why?​Answer:
Because the HTC sync app (called "PC synchronization" or similar) ON THE PHONE stopped working.​Question:
Why did the application stop working?​Answer:
Because a) it shut down on its own (bug or whatever), or because b) you killed it with a app like Advanced Task Killer (ATK) in order to try to free some memory because your phone was being sluggish...​Question:
Why not simply restart that app by going to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Synchronization" - "Sync with PC", since this IS the app?​Answer:
...because it doesn't work! You can restart the app after it died, and it will show on ATK, but the syncing WILL NOT work. Weird, but that's the way it is...​Question:
So what do I do?​Answer:
Don't kill it! Oh, and by the way, if you use ATK, unchecking HTC sync in the program WILL NOT BE GOOD ENOUGH!: ATK will still kill it (!).
You HAVE TO add it to the "Ignore List" in ATK in order to keep it running (long press on the app in the list, then choose "ignore"). Strange, but true... This only applies to HTC sync, as far as I can tell. Don't ask...​
A few more things, while we're at it:
- If the events of the calendar OF THE PHONE don't transfer to your Outlook calendar or your Google calendar , read this thread to know why (jr2408 's post).
why, WHY did they do that? Why can't you merge the calendars? Why can't you change the event's calendars after having entered them? At least, the phone remembers your calendar event settings... Uff!
- Here are a few apps you might want to install. They are free, and they are really usefull:
Advanced Task Killer free:
Allows to free memory by shutting down unused background apps. Removes sluggishness - awesome! Remember to use the ignore list for apps like HTC sync and TouchFLO
Quick Uninstaller:
Makes uninstalling apps a one-click operation. Cool!
Y5 - Battery saver:
Fantastic! Turns off the phone's wifi when you're not close to your (or a chosen) Access point. Remembers location by GPS tracking and thus saves you A LOT of battery energy. Try it, really...
3G Watchdog:
Keeps you informed of your Data connection rate (on 3G network, not wifi) and warns you when you reach a certain value. Very useful for those who don't have free unlimited transfer...
aTrackDog:
Keeps your software updated, even if it doesn't come from Android Market.
ASTRO:
An explorer which lets you manage your files.
Barcode Scanner:
Obvious...
Shazam:
Recognizes songs by listening and finds info on the Web. Impressive!
Wifi Analyzer:
Helps you spot the most appropriate Access point if several are in the area...
Sky map:
Helps you identify stars in the sky. Powerful!
AND:
Robo Defense (addictive!); Mario Simulator (laughing guaranteed); OI Flashlight (a "where is the #@! keyhole"-killer); Metal detector (eat that, I-phone braggers!)
If you got cash, don't forget CoPilot for GPS navigation, which allows to DOWNLOAD entire maps and store them on your SD card.
Et voilà! Comments welcome, recommended apps, advices... You tell me!
Questions are welcome, but answers are even more. Share!
Very useful post
very nice thanks!!!!!
My Hero doesnt detect the HTC sync on my Vista. I have never been able to sync with PC. I dont want to sync with PC as sync everything with google. But I need to sync with HTC sync for ROM upgrade. I have tried everything. I tried disablling the antivirus and firewall, put the program on teh Firewall exception list but nothing happnes. says that phone cannot detect HTC sync on computer. I hav downloaded the latest HTC sync from the HTC site. Any suggestions?
Hi all,
This is a little hello from me to you all. Like you all I've had problems with HTC Sync, unable to connect my HTC Hero, which I've only had for three weeks, but it seemly like a long time due to the problems I've had with HTC Sync and time I spend getting it to work with Outlook...
Anyway, I've read a lot of information here and externally i.e. google.com searches. I'm glad to say I've managed to HTC Sync to work..
This is what I did....Oh! I have a Windows Vista Ultimate 32bit, I GUESS this might work with any other installation of Windows, but not sure about Windows 7. If this works, please post here so people have one place to go to find the answer.... cheers.... and good luck!
1) Downloaded Andriod SDK, this was to allow debug USB connection. You can find it here.. http://dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r05-windows.zip
2) Downloaded HTC sync version 2.0.33 (http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=3&dl_id=933)
3) As I use my Ipod to sync music, I found Apple also installed Mobile device software, I uninstalled this.
4) Reviewed all software that related to USB and mobile devices and there were a few.... including my trusty HTC Diamond..., UN-installed them all...
5) Rebooted my laptop.
6) Installed SDK to C:\ASDK, then set-up Environment Variable to point to ;C:\ASDK\android-sdk-windows\tools, this is thanks to someone who posted this information on the web...sorry I can't find the reference, but here is my Kudos to you!
I rebooted my laptop...
7) I then installaed HTC Sync, but prior to the install, I stopped Anti-virus software (AVG), disabled my firewall.
8) Did another reboot.
9) Once my laptop was up and running.. ensured my firewall was disabled and disabled AVG, connected my Hero (baby) noticed Windows installed the USB drivers
10) Once the installed was completed, HTC Sync, did not see the phone, now I was pretty pissed at this point, however I wasn't going to give...
11) Whilst my phone was still connected, I decided to power it off and left it off for about 20 seconds.
12) Powered my Hero back on... and then that was it.... Windows found the phone not just USB, HTC Sync, noticed the Hero was connected and started the installation of the drivers, this took a bit of time... do be cool and wait...
12) HTC Sycn, status, conected baby, yeah!....
I setup what I wanted to sych, Contacts, calendar etc. and clicked on sync on the PC....
And it was great seeing this happen....
I hope this bit of information help someONE or someTWO at least... I know how much time I spent on this and if I can help save someONE or TWO save sometime - WoW It make me feel goooood....
Please post if it helps or if it don't...
Cheers and good luck to all
Right click "START". i was having troubles for hours even after all this reading get fed up. Press right click to delete HTC SYNC seen "START" and it went str8 to installation. let tha root begin!!

I am trying to use your method... but I don't quite grasp the meaning of point 6 (sorry for being such a noob, but I am at point of tears as I bough the Hero a few days ago as my first smartphone and now everything that can go wrong during freeing it into better phone, is going just wrooong).
So were do I set this C:\ASDK\android-sdk-windows\tools at? my PC? My SD card? How exactly I do it?
Thanks people for all the post, really... just at the beginning is quite overwhelming
Agnes
Thanks for the post.
I have a question for you guys that it is bugging me... why do you need sync? i've never used it so i don't get its purpose.
Thanks!

To be honest I don't know, but apparently it's necessary for installing ROM (following the steps from THE guide). I want to make sure it's working so that I won't get stuck with this problem in the middle of ROMing...
but later today I found my software is not up to date, but for some reason my phone errors with the phone+red triangle screen on, so I cannot update, without it I cannot properly root (even though the Universal Androot says it's rooted), and can't do anything. I am stuck at the moment, and plan to visit some store that claims they can do it for me... I feel disappointed and angry.:crying:

HOWTO: Access to the Android Market using your Phone

You'll need to have done the following:
Rooted NC - check NookDevs (or here for Win7) for instructions
Modified NC to allow non-market apps - instructions here
Install Astro File Manager on your phone
Install Hoccer (attached) on both your phone and NC
the instructions are simple:
download an app through the android market on your phone
open Astro
Click Menu
Select Tools
Select Application/Backup Manager
Select your app(s) that you want to backup, and click backup
Press Back
Navigate to /sdcard/backups/apps
Long press on an app
Select Share
Select Hoccer
Run Hoccer on NC
Slide the app over to the NC (instructions are in Hoccer)
Accept Install
How does this work I thought that Haccer used Bluetooth to make it work? does it also use wifi if they are on the same network?

You need to be on the same wifi network for this to work.
Pretty awesome. It worked for me. I installed Amazon, kindle, stocks, exchange rate, msn Talk and Xda apps using the hoccer method and all of them work.
I just keep getting your data must be dragged to near by screen even though they're both on the same wifi and right next to each other. I thought Hoccer needed a location signal to work.
Yep. It took a couple of tries to get the sequence right.
On your phone once you hit send from Astro you get the hoccer context menu and clicking that gives you a screen with a grey box at the center. There is a info bar at the top with "transfer time xxx seconds". Now place you nook close by with hoccer running and flip you finger on the nook screen from right end to left. You get a similar grey box on the nook and then the files get transferred. You should see a linking nearby devices or something to that effect when the grey box appears on the nook.
HTH
Works now. That made a lot more sense. Thanks.
I use dropbox instead of Hoccer (on other devices, haven't tried it on NC yet), unless I'm missing some functionality that I didn't see...?
Yea I also just use dropbox
email the apps with Astro
I did the method above with Astro but instead of using hoccer I just emailed the apps to myself with astro and it seems to works fine. Easier than trying to get hoccer to work I think. Only had trouble with one application that started, ran for five seconds then shut down and I got a message saying "unistall app, restart device, then reinstall app using the android market". Anyone else email the apps to themselves? Is there a good reason not to do it this way?
Thanks
Got it now. You actually have to SLIDE it off 1 phone, then SLIDE it ON TO the nook. Works perfect. Nice find
I installed applanet. Seems to have most of the usual apps
From the market. Any reason no one else is using applanet?
You can install and update from their app just like google
market.

Probably because Applanet allows you to pirate paid apps.

Three questions I haven't been able to find an answer to..

These are across several roms(senseless, bulletproof, etc) and don't seem rom specific.
First is creating a contact: I create a google contact(on device or online), doesn't seem to matter if it is in a group or not, and they don't show up in contacts. If I type their name to send an SMS it appears, but otherwise isn't searchable.
Second: on reboot the ringtone and notification sound I choose gets reset. Most of the time it doesn't even use the one it shows, it could be an entire song.. I understand it could be because the sdcard is scanning, but it happens on each rom I've tried.
Third: sometimes when I turn the screen on it will show "xxx has been granted superuser privledges".. is this because it was in deep sleep? My old phone doesn't do this, so I'm not sure if it is an error, but it happens with each app I have running continuously that has root, and across different roms.
Please don't just post I could search for the answer, I have, and I haven't found an answer. The contact one is most annoying, the ringtone one can be if i forget to set it after I reboot, and the super user one I'm just curious about..
Thanks in advance.

1. Depending on what ROM or what contacts app you're using, you should be able to choose what kind of contacts are shown in the app. I'm using BulletProof, so in the "People" app, I can choose to see only Google contacts by selecting the menu button soft key on the phone > View > Google contacts checked.
2. I've never had this problem, but in any case, I use an app called Ringtone Maker (link here) to trim and cut songs to use as my ring tone. I also use the app to set the trimmings as my ringtone, and it has never reset on me on any reboot. There are probably other solutions to this, but this is the way I set my ringtones and it's worked so far
3. The superuser privilege means that the application has been granted root access, which means that it can control certain parts of your phone that otherwise wouldn't be allowed if your phone was stock. In short, it means that the application is able to make changes and access system information on your phone because the ROM you installed comes with root. This is normal if you're using apps that require root.

1. Okay, I don't know if I have fully explored the VIEW part of the contacts, I didn't enable everything before because it had it showing as 2700+ contacts(thanks G+), but I just experimented with it a bit and it appears to be working right. Thanks.
2. Most of my ringtones and notifications were properly created or downloaded from the net, the problem is that on reboot it will go to the first on the list, while selecting a random song or ringtone from the internal SD. I am thinking that the ringtone/notification I choose must be on the external, so when it scans when the phone starts up, it chooses something available. I'm gonna see if I can move whatever ringtones/notifications I use to the internal sd fixes the problem.
3. I understand how root works, I was only asking because my old phone would only give that popup the first time it boots- on this phone when I turn the screen on sometimes, it will pop up that it gave superuser permissions as if the app didn't have it. I was more or less just wondering if this was a problem with the way the phone sleeps, or the superuser app, or something, only because I would never see that notification after the first boot with my old phone.
Really, the main annoyance was with adding a contact and not seeing it. Luckily I could select "my contacts"(using your advice) and not see the 2700 it says I have.. so that problem is pretty much solved, which I thank you for
For #2, use a file manager and move your ringtones to /system/media/ringtones (you may have to create the ringtones folder of it's not there). I have had this problem across a few different ROMs and that was the only way to fix it.
For #2:
Did you happened to checked "Backup my Setting" and "Automatic Restore" in Setting/Privacy?
I have the same problem before because Google automatically restored data from other Rom and they are conflicting ...
Try un-check the Automatic Restore and see if it is repeating

This seems to have fixed it Seems like having it in the /media/ringtone folder, when it would rescan on boot, the system would grab some other random sound.. but putting it in the system/media/ringtone and problem is gone. Thanks

Can I freeze the phone dialer?

I have a TMO Vibrant that I want to give to my 8 year old daughter so she can play games on it. There's no SIM card, but of course she can still (accidentally) call 911. I would like to just freeze the phone app, but I want to be sure that I can safely (from the phone point of view) do so. In other words, will it break the phone if I freeze the phone app? I am also hoping it will get rid of the "No sim card installed. Emergency calls only" warnings that won't go away. Secondly, if I can freeze the phone app, what exactly is the phone app called in TB? I don't see it there. I am using MIUI 20330 on kernel 2.6.35.12, android 2.3.7

I'm not too sure about the missing SIM card alert, but freezing the dialer app is very easy too do, and shouldn't cause any problems. There are also multiple ways to accomplish the task, however, I believe the most effective way would be to "manually" freeze the app. This can be done by following these steps:
Download an app like Root Explorer, if you don't already have it or don't have the money, a free alternative is Super Manager.
Go to the root of the phone, the directory being "/".
Go into the "system" folder. (Directory: "/system")
Then go into the "app" folder. (Directory: "/system/app")
Look around until you find an app called "phone.apk".
Rename it to "phone.apk.bak". This will effectively freeze the phone app.
It might also not hurt to freeze the contacts app, various email clients (gmail & email), the messaging app (mms), and other like apps using the same method mentioned in the previous steps.
Once the apps are frozen, you can even delete the file explorer app you used so that those core system files can't be accessed by your daughter.
For further monitoring of your daughter's device, you could even try an app like APP Lock. With a little bit of in app tweaking, you can block access to phone settings and even require a password to install and uninstall apps.
Another suggestion, you may also want to look into this ROM, I have a feeling it may satisfy your needs... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566651.
If you need any help or have a question, please, don't hesitate to ask.

Haha! For once, it's someone BEING ABLE to call 911 that's the problem. :silly:
That was really good help. Thanks. Anyone know how to make the "Emergency calls only" notification go away? There must be some app that looks for a SIM card that puts it up there. Or maybe it's baked into the kernel and it can't be disabled???
Uninstall sim tool kit or stk from titanium backup to get the notificqtion to go away

Anyone else having problems with apps and notifications?

So, my emails arrive late, the stock messaging app doesn't show new texts unless you scroll down when you open it (!!!), replacement sms apps have been wonky as well,... In general things just aren't updating correctly. I've made sure to go through the power management menus to allow apps to do what they need to but no go.
Anyone else had this problem? The battery life, size, and tethering capabilities are nice, but I just put my sim back in the Note 2 as those problems are making using this too unreliable.
Same problem here
I also have this problem, and I believe several people mentioned this in different places, so following is what I have done so far, not sure if this help your case, I am still monitor my phone since I just change my settings a few days back.
Standard steps includes:
("the app" below mean the application you have problem receive notification)
1. Set the app as protected in the Battery Saving settings.
2. Allow the app run in background.
3. In Wifi advanced settings, set to "always" during sleep.
4. Set power saving mode from "Smart" to "normal" .
I still have problem after all above steps, so I have make following attempt:
1) Disabled/Freeze "Phone Manager" system app.
2) Another app is "Power Genie", this app still run even I freeze it. So I have to use Root Explorer to rename them
under /system/app, rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk to HwPowerGenieEngine3.apkk, and rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to HwPowerGenieEngine3.odexx
then reboot to recovery, clear cache, and dalvik cache, then reboot.
Again I am still testing this... HTH.
Just want to write a update, I think this resolved app got killed issue in my phone.
I think I found what was messing with my texts. I had mysms installed to backup and send texts to my N7. There's no way to select the stock app as the default messaging app. I ended up deleting mysms and only downloading it when I switch the sim into my Note 2.
The bigger problem is with Spotify. Even with it saved as a protected app it turns off about two minutes after the screen turns off, rendering the app almost useless. Wtf??
Mine works idk. it has to be a setting. hmm. you sure you have wifi on when screen is off. it is it's own setting on this phone
My notifications seem to quit working at times and I notice when using root explorer that my ext SD isn't showing
I wonder why my phone is working with notification (I even have ac display working to turn the screen on for 10 seconds when receiving a text message or email from work) I also use Spotify every day since I'm a premium member. No issues at all. I'm even able to change the volume and skip track and play and pause from my LG Tones

make sure Spotify is set to run in background not just a protected app otherwise when you shut your phone off it will end the app. that might be your problem.

I also have this problem, and I believe several people mentioned this in different places, so following is what I have done so far, not sure if this help your case, I am still monitor my phone since I just change my settings a few days back.
Standard steps includes:
("the app" below mean the application you have problem receive notification)
1. Set the app as protected in the Battery Saving settings.
2. Allow the app run in background.
3. In Wifi advanced settings, set to "always" during sleep.
4. Set power saving mode from "Smart" to "normal" .
I still have problem after all above steps, so I have make following attempt:
1) Disabled/Freeze "Phone Manager" system app.
2) Another app is "Power Genie", this app still run even I freeze it. So I have to use Root Explorer to rename them
under /system/app, rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk to HwPowerGenieEngine3.apkk, and rename HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to HwPowerGenieEngine3.odexx
then reboot to recovery, clear cache, and dalvik cache, then reboot.
Again I am still testing this... HTH.

yeah, there's not root for the moment for my model (mt2l05 4.4.2 EMUI 3)
but, did it work ?
it works in my phone. But you know, some mate2 owners don't have this issue at all.
May be an issue with APN settings. What I had when I first got the phone and what my settings are now seem much better especially when breaking up data and MMS into two different it independent panes. Once set to fast.t-Mobile.com and APN type default,supl,hipri the second selectable APN labeled for MMS as APN type and everything else identical and all hand offs via WiFi or mobile data are seamless. I was having various network issues prior to changes made to build.prop and default APN and once phone went to sleep it would not get alerts or transition to active/awake very well.

So, my emails arrive late, the stock messaging app doesn't show new texts unless you scroll down when you open it (!!!), replacement sms apps have been wonky as well,... In general things just aren't updating correctly. I've made sure to go through the power management menus to allow apps to do what they need to but no go.
Anyone else had this problem? The battery life, size, and tethering capabilities are nice, but I just put my sim back in the Note 2 as those problems are making using this too unreliable.

Yup yup, same here. I'm using Nova Launcher + TeslaUnread Plugin. Also stopped using my previous favorite 3rd party SMS replacement, Chomp, and now I'm back on stock SMS. The plugin seems very stable to me, I get a little number bubble on my SMS app on the homescreen, even if the notification doesn't come through on the status bar. Not exactly a fix, but it's been a decent workaround for me.

I was able to get my phone to connect with my surge hr Fitbit. Just wasn't reading directions correctly. The Surge hr is a nice product, now if I could only squeak out more time between charges. Roughly 3 days is the most I get between charges. I turn off the notifications when not needed.
I haven't posted in a while, but I've run into a problem.
I recently got the Aplus GV18 smartwatch. The watch requires an app called BTNotification to be on my phone; the app pushes notifications from my phone to the watch. However, if I leave the phone for any length of time then the app turns off and I don't get notifications.
I downloaded the app on another phone of mine and it stayed connected overnight. So it isn't the watch. I've tried just about everything I've found. I have:
-Changed the battery mode to "Normal"
-Disabled "Phone Manager" and the "Power genie" thing
-Fiddled with the # of background processes in the Dev options
-Changed the WIFI to stay on even with the screen off
-Other things in various threads
Any ideas??

Did you make it a Protected App?
I did, it didn't work.
I ended up disabling the entire "Phone Manager" app.

Yes - notification problems actually cost me a job.... I received a phone message notification nearly 2 days after it was left on my phone.
I'm going back to the forum to to follow unlock instructions after getting the unlock code just today. I want to root the phone.
I am having problems with disappearing navigation keys. Once I go
to an app, I cannot get out of it. I have to constantly restart my phone. Do you have a solution?
