I'm happy to report that my neighborhood (and general area) in Long Beach/Lakewood CA finally has a strong Sprint 4G LTE signal. Using just cell signal, my Galaxy Mega 6.3 is almost as fast as my Verizon FIOS WiFi at home. Some of the areas around here are so saturated with 4G LTE that WiFi is...

Better late than never...got this Evo 4G extended battery and replacement back cover for $8 + $3 shipping from Amazon. After 4-5 full cycle charges, it's giving me 2 full days of life after HEAVY use. The back cover is perfect and makes the phone much easier to use (for me anyway). Hey, for...

After finally adjusting to the option of using both Skyfire and the default browser on the X, I have found that I can watch flash sites quite well on Skyfire using their own proprietary system that uses less bandwidth than flash but yields very good results. For eaxmple, right now I'm watching...

After searching forums, stores, VZW, Amazon, etc. looking for a solution to having my X in the car in a totally custom way to suit my own ideas, I came across this little guy hiding away on a rack in the automotive section of Best Buy. For only $24 this IQ-1050 mount kit has turned out to be...

Funny but it looks kinda cool in a bizarre sort of way...Spare Wire Hanger? Make a DROID X Stand! - Droid Life: A Droid Community Blog...Now for a REALLY nice stand check this out: http://www.droid-life.com/2010/06/09/video-review-mikradle-evolution-droid-dock/

Is it just me or are ALL the Facebook apps (including the ones pre-installed) are crappy? I've tried them all so maybe I'm just too picky. I have found that just bookmarking the original FB site and then creating a widget works best.

This has been posted before but it's too cool to not re-post. Why buy the VZW home dock when you get the exact same thing on your X (minus the hardware and HDMI jack) by installing the free "DockRunner" app from the market? It even lets you have your your original home screen and all other...

I've posted this before but it has been working for my X. Minor lags, app downloads, etc appear to go away with each soft reboot (I've only done 4 since Friday) and 2 hard reboots have got my X running a lot better since I got it. I don't mind rebooting since it has obvious (to me ) results...

This may sound trivial, but when I watch a video at night, the four button lights at the bottom of the phone (home, menu,back and search) are so bright it distracts from the screen. Am I missing a simple solution to fix this? I've tried various brightness apps but none of them control these...

Hope this saves y'all some money...DIY kickstand for cell phone: Make your own kickstand

First off I have the VZW holster/case combo for my DI. Amazon.com: HTC Droid Incredible Shell Holster Combo: Cell Phones… Then I purchased the Body Glove kickstand for a whopping $1.98 Amazon.com: Body Glove Low Profile Replacement Swivel Holster Belt Clip with Adjustable Kickstand for...

I jst moved to a new house that is 2 blocks from a VZW cell tower. My Incredible is now extremely faster than before I moved. I always have 4 bars and that's great. However, something is happening now that makes me wonder if being too close to a tower is causing this. I believe there is now...

Passing this along, if it's true...."All tether apps have been removed from the US Android Market due to pressure from T-Mobile. This means that T-Mobile and future Android carriers CAN pull out any app they don

Maybe this is redundant but since Apple has now upped the anty by filing additional motions to immediately stop importation of HTC phones into the USA, this could explain all the delays and lack of news from Verizon about Incredible and Nexus One. Here is the link and excuse me if its already...
