    Current Kindle Fire vs. Nexus 7 (2012)

    Anybody have any feedback on comparisons between the current generation Kindle Fire vs. the Nexus 7 (2012)? The Nexus 7 won't move past Lollipop, but putting Lollipop on the tablet is a death sentence for the tablet (major performance issues). If the current Fire has better specs, I want to...

    Help Clearing cache in recovery

    Has anyone booted into recovery to clear the cache? I have the first two Nexus 7's and several misc Android phones, but the cache cleaner is...well...weird. Most of the devices that I use will clear the cache almost immediately, but the Nexus 9 can take from 5-10 minutes. I booted my Nexus 7...

    Help Remove first lock screen on lollipop update?

    Just got Lollipop on the Verizon s5. The jury is still out, but so far I can live with it. When you wake the phone, it gives you a slide to open screen which takes you to the actual lock screen. It seems kind of pointless because you still have to unlock the phone and it takes away the ability...

    Help Clothing rubbing interupts whatever...

    So I walk to the bus stop every morning listening to music. My Moto360 will rub against my coat and change the screen to Google Now or facer or whatever which causes the music to be paused. Anyone else experience this problem or have a solution? It's driving me nuts!

    My Magazine feature on other launchers

    I'm not a fan of Touchwiz, so I have Nova Prime running on my s5. However, I've been curious about Samsung's My Magazine feature, which is similar to HTC's Blink feature. Does anyone know if it's possible to run My Magazine on other launchers? If not, can anyone suggest a similar widget?

    Help Where do I get support?

    OK, I'm not sure if this issue can be handled here, so mods move me if you need to do so... I usually buy my phones through Verizon, but this time I bought my s5 from Amazon. I'm having Bluetooth disconnect issues, so do I contact Verizon, Amazon, or Samsung for support? The issue that I'm...

    Did you upgrade from a Samsung Galaxy s5? Your thoughts?

    I currently have the Samsung Galaxy s5 on Verizon, but I'm considering jumping to T-Mobile and taking up the HTC One (M8). If you changed phones, I'm looking for your input on why you did it and what your experience has been like. I know that both phones have their positive and negative...

    Help Play Music Sucks...

    music off of my tablet... :-) The Play Music app is sucking music off of my N7 and storing it in the cloud with my other music. I can accept it happening on my PC because I set that up, but there is music and sound files on my tablet that I don't want in the cloud, or even referenced in the...

    Available car chargers that support dock mode?

    Does anyone know of any car chargers that support putting the s4 into dock mode? I have a Verizon charger and a Motorola charger that only charge the phone, and I have a smaller adapter cable from a dock kit that will turn on the dock mode. I'm hoping to find a car charger that will eliminate...

    Moving on...

    I'm really sad to say that I've decided to move to a non-Motorola phone. I've been rocking Motorola since the Moto-Q and I enjoyed the Moto X, Bionic, and the DRM. I thought I could picture never getting anything else. I really liked the DRM and even though I had a few issues, I was holding on...

    SGS4 third party docks

    I just switched from a Moto Droid RAZR Maxx to the SGS4, and even though I've only had the phone for 24 hours, I am very happy with my purchase! I did a quick search of the forum and I couldn't find any information on docks, so if this has been addressed, please accept my apology. Can...

    Help Remove Verizon Wallpaper option?

    When you want to change your wallpaper, one of the choices is the Verizon Wallpaper option. This is the option that delivers up the wallpaper that has a lot of "red" themed backgrounds, and it's the option that I'm sure most of us never choose. So my question, has anyone found a way to remove...

    Detect Dock Mode?

    I don't know if this is possible, but I thought I would ask. I have a Moto Droid RAZR Maxx, and since the Jelly Bean update, ending a call goes into the call log. It's very irritating, and I've created a profile to go to the home screen when the phone goes idle. However, if I'm in the home...

    Automatic reload of apps after update and factory reset?

    Ok, I side loaded the JB update and did a factory reset on my DRM. I have a Nexus 7 and when I did the same for the latest JB update, it automaticall started reloading all of the apps that were previously installed on the tablet. This did not happen with my DRM. So my question, did anyone...

    Swap back and forth between to phones

    I have a RAZR Maxx that I use on a daily basis and a Bionic that is sitting around going unused. If I needed or wanted to use the Bionic, is it as simple as swapping the SIMM card, or do I have to do some other voodoo to get it to work? Will swapping phones affect my plan (I don't want to lose...

    Google is a bunch of sneaky b******s

    So months ago when Google changed their privacy policies to share data across all of their apps, I disabled web history in Google search. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, but several on-line articles suggested to so, so I did. With the JB update comes Google Now, and guess what, Google Now turns your...

    Help Weird sound problem on my Maxx

    I have notification on lock set up on my Maxx. It was working OK but recently I've had temperature/heat problems on my phone, and shortly thereafter the notification just stopped. I've toggled it on/off, rebooted the phone, and cleared the cache, all with no luck. My gut tells me that I'm going...

    Disable Welcome Screen?

    Can you disable the home/lock screen (screen with circular slider to unlock)? I have a Droid RAZR Maxx, and if I drop the phone into the docking cradle, the phone will unlock and show the desktop calendar. However, if I drop the phone in the car dock, it will stay on the lock screen until I...

    Tasker End Call Profile?

    While surfing for Tasker profiles, someone suggested a profile to play an alert to signal call end. They were trying to detect a call drop so that they did not continue talking with no one there. I figure the profile involves detecting the call end and then plays an alert tone or vibrates the...

    Selling a phone questions

    I'm getting ready to sell a Droid Bionic. I will do a factory reset and sell without the SD card. Should I sell it without the SIM card? Are there any other things I should do to the phone before I sell?

    Switching phones

    I have a Droid RAZR MAXX and a Droid Bionic. The Bionic is not in use and not Connected to Verizon's network. Can I switch back and forth between both phones without losing my unlimited plan? Is it as simple as activating one of the phones and letting the other phone drop off the network? I...
