If you, like me, are one of the people unable to download the newest software update because of a download failure, I found a solution that worked for me without doing a factory reset. Go to this link and follow the directions. I know this is for market failures, but it worked...

Does anyone know if the lapdock requires a different data plan than the $30/month unlimited plan that most of us already have? I seem to recall that it might require the addition of a tethering plan. I think it was the same way with the Atrix on ATT. Thanks,

Where does the DINC2 store files like downloaded spreadsheets and stuff like that? I am a longtime DroidX user who got frustrated with the lagginess in my phone since the GB update. I tried the TBolt and the Charge and just couldn't get enough battery life. This little DINC2 seems pretty...

I have been syncing my old DX to my Mac Address Book flawlessly for about a year. I even tried out the Charge and the TB. They both synced perfectly as well. My new DX2 syncs great, but when I try to edit a contact on the phone, I get the following message: "Motorola services contact...

Does anybody know of a way/app to bypass the lockscreen? There is an app called "no lock" that worked perfectly on my DX but doesn't work at all on my Charge. I keep my phone in a holster, so I never have a problem "butt dialing" and I have always liked the quick access to my phone. I has...

Whenever I use Voice search to make a call, it adds a "+1" to the phone number and I get a "call not connected" sign and the call drops. Even if I go back to recent calls and try it again, it still doesn't work. If I go remove the +1, it goes right through. FYI, I was on a leaked GB version...

Does anyone know of a way to set the calendar's default event notification to zero? I am coming from a Droid x. Motoblur apparently differs from sense in this area because "no notification" is a default choice. I have chased quite a few threads in the DINC forums about this without a...

Just wanted to know if the DINC has a problem holding on to a 3g signal. I have a DX and it has been a good phone except that it spontaneously switches from 3g to 1x constantly, even in areas of good signal. I have buddies with DINCs and they don't have the same problem, but I wanted to get...

If I use Voice Search to dial a number, it adds a "+1" to the phone number and then the phone doesn't recognize the "+" sign. If I go back in and edit out the "+", then the phone will dial. I have fiddled with every setting I can think of without success. Does anybody have and idea how I can...

I have had the Droid X since launch day and have had no significant problems until last week. My battery suddenly went from lasting about 24 hours to lasting 5-6 hours. Now, I can't even charge my spare battery before the one in my phone dies! While troubleshooting this, I went to the battery...

Does anybody know of a way to stop status bar notifications for email WITHOUT stopping the ringtone or vibration that goes with the email? I am using K9 mail on Droid X 2.2. My single biggest nag about this phone is that when I go directly to my email app, bypassing the status bar, the...

I am going through a battery about every 4 to 5 hours despite taking all of the usual precautions. I have checked for the GPS drain and got nothing there. When I run BatteryLeft and check CPU usage and network usage my top 2 BY FAR are UID 10017 and Amazon MP3. I have ATK set to kill Amazon...

I've been playing with voice to text and love it for quick texting. One question, thought that I can't find an answer for: How do you make it capitalize the first word when using voice to text? Thanks.

Well, I might be the first moron to take the Droid X for a dive! Unfortunately, there is no swimming app. I have tried all the tricks, and all I get is the big red eye staring at me. Fortunately, i had the insurance, BUT they have no Droid X's and don't have a clue when they will get them...

Does anybody know if I will be able to increase the email font size on the Incredible? I have BB Storm 2 and can't wait to get rid of it. I tried and returned the Droid because I don't want to put my reading glasses on every time I get an email or text. I have talked to several Android 2.1...
