    So help me with this Micro SD card idea...

    So my Droid Xs came with 16 gb cards and in the 6 weeks I had my Motion I never got one for it. I was thinking of getting a Sandisk Class 4 16 gb one for my Spirit and I want to be sure I understand correctly what I can and can't do with it it. I CAN'T move apps to the SD unless I'm rooted...

    Help My screen shooter is starting to Perturb me

    It must take some secret handshake and touch. Can't get the touch, can't see the touch, the touch is running away from me. :mad: I'm doing Down Volume and Power at the same time. I get a hit maybe every 4-5 tries. Either the Volume slider or the Quick Memo screen pop up and it's Back Arrow...

    Help Battery % on right hand side of the status bar (in white)

    It actually seemed to just appear in the past couple days and believe it or not, I want to make it go away. (In white on the right side it looks all jumbled up. I already had a decent green battery widget % on the left side.) I also just noticed this on a Screen Shot of Sammyz Motion. How...

    Got any Tips? Put yours HERE!

    I looked back for one of these and didn't find one. So, there is now. Admin/Mods feel free to combine if there's another. My meager addition for now. The Volume buttons WAKES like the power button. They no turnee offee like the power button though. That's two Wakey buttons if one is...

    A Rowdy HOO-YAH! for a valiant soldier

    So there's a NEW Sheriff in town... :smokingsomb: With the new Spirit it's time for my 7 week old Motion to be put out to pasture or in the safe as the case may be. :D It'll be my BU in the hopeful unlikelyhood that calamity comes to the Spirit. Got the battery fully charged and pulled...

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned this minor PIA

    Now admittedly, this is near nitpicking but still, with all the rest of the packaging and the phone itself done so nicely I was going, WTF!, O? with the blue nuclear attached cello-crap over the camera and flash. I can't imagine how the heck they got it on, it had to be when they Made the phone...

    Have you dropped your Spirit? Confess your sins here

    This is one thing that was apparent pretty quickly to me. As thin as the Spirit is, there's not much space there to dissipate/redistribute any impact energy. Seems like a good bit of it's heading right towards the screen. I'm especially interested if you've dropped it on a harder surface...

    I LOVE IT when a plan comes together!

    Ok, so. I had to pay full price for my Motion in order to get hooked up with the old 55 plan before it ended. 12 days later the big sale hits. :( So I beg and moan and whine and Mama Metro tightens me up with a full months service paid. So, that at least gets the cost of my Motion with No...

    MetroPCS-Dallas verifies Wirefly purchase good to go for Spirit rebate

    Figured I'd make this a separate easily searchable for thread in case anyone needs to find it in the future for a turned down rebate. :rolleyes: This is from Metro's Facebook page with my question to them on top. Just in case someone gets turned down and they're told, "oh no, we NEVER said a...

    Ouch! Here's a YouTuber the S3ers probably don't wanna see

    Even with a full Gig More RAM in a side by side Quadrant test the Motion wins one, the S3 wins one. Interesting that the Motion finishes Both tests quickest. (Of course, this is probably STILL completely lost on whoever it is that's convinced themselves the Avid is better than the Motion...

    Go-Riller Glass Trivia NO FAIR Googling!

    Made especially for the Iphonie, right? Well, not quite. it's actually about 45 years old. A past idea shelved by Corning, resurrected by the request from Steve Jobs. There is one place you as a consumer (Ok, a clue; maybe as more of a sports fan) may have seen it when Corning original...

    Help Emergency way to QUICK Kill the OTA update?

    This is the kind of info I NEED before I Need it. So from my reading here I've decided not to do the Motion SW update unless I get some more much better info TO do it. Of course, since there doesn't appear to be any way to kill the never ending incessant reminder notifications for the...

    Leave rooted or unroot?

    Not quite the same as the usual "should I root" question. So I will likely be getting a Motion as soon as a certain member here gets his S3. Currently his Motion is rooted. Up til now, I have shied away from rooting my DX because frankly I wouldn't know what I was doing and I haven't...

    This says a lot to me about the Motion (Fleabay)

    Fleabay. There's 2, TWO used Motions for sale. Period. (and some loon who wants over $200 for a new one). Both of those still have time to close and are within $10 of what you can get the dang phone from Wirefly for Brand New and shipped free. I WILL get a GOOD laugh when and if they...

    Usage hog that is. :D Finally got around to getting the Moto extended battery/door and that spiffy little $8 dual charger. Sure wish I'd gotten the battery along time ago. I'm more than making it thru a whole day now, 22 hrs and that's still charging with about 25% left. I'm a happy Xer...

    I will be getting a second X as a back-up for my primary X. (No insurance and I'm getting the phone in hand for about 1 years worth of maybe not used insurance fees.) I am not rooted. I think I understand that I will lose all my progress/scores (data) on my games but the games will transfer...

    Help Why do I not see any discussions on micro-USB port "hygiene"?

    Am I the only one who ever has this problem?? :( I just sweated bullets for 4 days over a semi-non-charging situation and was all ready to take my X to the shop tomorrow to have the USB port checked out (replaced one on my 4 year old Razr flip phone once) and it finally dawned on me...
