I can't find any Samsung brandextended capacity batteries (2600 mAh) batteries to buy anywhere. Lots of sites have them for sale -- until you try to buy, then you find that they're out of stock. They're not on the Samsung website anymore. VerizonWirless doesn't have them. Is the phone being...

MODS: Lenovo Thnkpad. This is not the same device as the other Lenovo devices that already have forums here (IdeaPad A1, Ideapad K1 and LePad). This is a 10.1" tablet running Android 3.1. The specs are: Wifi or Wifi +3G 1280x800 screen Nvidia Tegra 2 dual core processor Gorilla...

I'm considering buying several Galaxy Tab 10.1s for road trips with the family (and other purposes). In my home I have >1 tb of video stored for the family and tv in the house has a network media streamer (the poorly named Popcorn Hour streamer). I was hoping to setup something similar for the...

I have a Samsung Droid Charge (firmware 2.2.1; Baseband i510.06 v.EE4 adn SCH-I510.EE1; Kernal 2.6.32.9; Build SCH-I510.EE4). My PC is running Windows 7 Pro (64 bit). When I connect my phone to my PC using a USB cable, Windows Explorer cannot see all of the files and folders that I can see...

I have a Samsung Droid Charge on Verizon. When I connect it via USB cable to a PC running Windows XP or one running Windows 7 (64bit), it shows me only some of the files. For example, my SD card has a folder \Music\. Under \Music\ are about 300 folders (one per artist). In each artist folder is...

I'm just getting used to my new Samsung Droid Charge. Mostly I like it better than the Droid-X that it replaced, but a few things are confusing or irritating. For example, I cannot for the life of me guess why some of my SMS threads/conversations are marked with a green dot, some with an orange...

The official Verizon Gingerbread update was pushed down to my Droid-X yesterday. Since it installed (and despite >10 reboots), the "Market" app will not download, much less install, any updates to any of my installed apps. It shows dozens of them in need of updates, and all of them are in a...

The backlight of my Droid-X will not turn off. The screen goes black in 60 seconds, as it is supposed to, but the light source around the rim of the screen is clearly lit. The four hard buttons at the bottom of the phone are not lit. This will continue indefinitely. If I press the power button...

By mistake I bought a drop-in battery charger and two spare batteries for a Droid, whereas I own a Droid-X. l can't return them and I don't want to throw them in a landfill. If you're in Tulsa, I'm happy to give these to you.

Occasionally the screen of my Droid-X goes black, which, of course, it is supposed to do after the timeout period expires (in my case, 30 seconds). What is weird is that if I'm in a fairly dark room, I can see that while the screen is black, the backlight is still on. I can't imagine why anyone...

I bought the Motoroloa "Multimedia Dock" for my Droid X. To my surprise, it cannot -- that I can find -- automatically start running a slide show of my chosen source of photos as soon as it is put in Multimedia Dock Mode (when it senses the magnet on the back). I want a slide show of...

This link at Motorola.com says that the new Droid X Extended Battery (model BH6X) is rated at 1800 mAh (mille ampere hours), whereas this link at Verizonwireless.com says that it is 1930 mAh. WTF? Who are we supposed to believe? Added... The original battery is the BH5X, which Motorola...

I just bought a SanDisk 32gb microSDHC card to replace the 16gb which came with my Droid-X. I have explored it some using the Astro free file browser found in the Android Market. It seems that the filesystem is some form of Linux/Unix (EXT/EXT2/EXT3). How can I copy everything from the...

When I connect my Droid-X via USB to my computer, I am offered these options: 1. PC Mode 2. Windows Media Sync 3. USB Mass Storage 4. Charge Only The last one I can figure out, but what are the differences and similarities between the first three? Are there tasks that only work with one mode...
