    Shattered the back of my Note 5

    I had the two day old phone at the dinner table with me and put it on the chair between my legs for a second. Of course the phone slipped and fell on its back. I didn't even look closely at first because it was less than a two foot fall and the phone is all metal and gorilla glass 4, but sure...

    Dock/launcher app for wireless charging?

    So I have wireless charging set up on my GS5 and it works great. I am looking for a way to have Alarm+ start when I put the phone in the wireless cradle on my nightstand. I found a cool app called Plug in Launcher. It works great when you connect an actual power cable, but it doesn't give the...

    Home button settings??

    I noticed the S5 comes on in my pocket when I bend over or crouch because the Home button is getting pushed. This never happened on my S3. What's worse is it does not realize its in my pocket and I hear all kinds of buttons being pushed each time! Any way to disable turning the screen on from...

    Help Is LTE killing my battery faster?

    We just got 4G LTE in my area and it definitely rocks. I am getting 30/10 pretty consistently. Unfortunately my battery seems to be dying much faster too. Usually by dinner time I am getting battery warnings and have to put it on the charger. This never happened before. Is this a known...

    Can someone suggest a good dock with dock mode?

    My single biggest disappointment with the S3 vs my old Atrix 4G is the lack of a decent dock. These are the things I am looking for: - Dock mode (must have) - Work with a medium sized case like the Acase dual layer - Cradle and hold the phone with more than just the USB connector! - Don't...

    S3 Dock Mode won't come on??

    I bought an Amzer dock because it said specifically that it enabled dock mode. It arrived today and I tried it plugged into both a Samsung wall charge and with it plugged into the USB port on my PC and neither one seems to put it into Dock Mode. Am I doing something wrong or is this thing just...

    I have moved on! (mega Atrix package possibly for sale too)

    My Atrix got extremely warm in my pocket last Friday and I had to pull the battery out to shut it down! I tried a new battery from the local battery store and it would not power up. My Atrix is dead! I do have a warranty unit coming, but I could not wait through the weekend without a phone...

    Atrix has been great. What's next?

    I really have loved the Atrix. It has plenty of power and connectivity, but my favorite feature has been the fingerprint reader. I remember thinking that I would never use the fingerprint reader when I first got it! Boy was I wrong. The one thing that I don't like about the Atrix is the...

    Wow, Atrix is yesterday's news to ATT

    I lost my Atrix in a river while Kayaking the other day. I went into the official ATT Corporate store to get a replacement under the insurance that I pay them for every month. I was informed that I had to do it myself online and get one mailed to me. I asked if they had Atrix in stock at the...

    Gmail password recovery is moronic

    I only have a gmail address because I have to have one for my phone. I NEVER use the gmail address for anything but the phone to be able to work. Now I want to get a new Android and I have lost the password. One would think that I should be able to do a password recovery by simply going...

    Camera Improved now!

    The camera is definitely a lot better with the GB update. I noticed that the low light pictures are more clear and there seem to be more modes? Also, I never noticed the "Camcorder" icon before, so I assume that is new. Anyway I took a few pictures in Macro this morning in low light and they...

    Accessories Steinheil SGP Ultra Crystal - WOW!!

    I have had a KlearKare protector on my Atrix for a while now. It is a complete piece of junk. It is really rubbery, so your finger does not slide well and it dents easily. Anything in you pocket or even a slight graze from your fingernail puts a permanent dent in it. Not to mention that it...

    Help Can't answer the phone!!??

    Twice recently my Atrix was ringing and I could not swipe the answer button. I stood there like a dork swiping it time and time again until it went to voice mail. Both times the phone was sitting idle. Not playing any games or installing updates, etc. Anyone else have this problem or know a...

    Help Complete Backup?

    I know the answer will be "no", but I am asking anyway! Is there any way to connect my UNROOTED Atrix to my PC and click one or more buttons and completely back up the phone? What do people do when they drop their phone in the toilet and have to get another? To me not having a simple full...

    Accessories Reviews: Body Glove Case vs Speck

    I bought the Speck case when I first got my Atrix. It is very impressive when it comes to actually protecting the phone. It has a gel inside and hard shell outer case. I found that despite the great protection, I didn't really like it for a few reasons: The outer case is slippery and does...

    Atrix mini-review from day-one Captivate buyer

    I have long suffered waiting for Froyo and the GPS fix on my Captivate and finally got fed up. Long story short, I got Atrix on day-one after having gotten Captivate day-one also! This review is a comparison of the pros and cons of the Atrix vs the Captivate. Both unrooted with stock...

    How to Migrate data, contacts, etc from Captivate

    I currently have an unrooted Captivate with a lot of aps, data, media and contacts. Can someone give me a simple road map to migrate from this phone to my Atrix when it arrives on Monday? I don't mind spending a little money on an app or two if need be. John

    You should all be thanking me...

    I just guaranteed the Froyo and the GPS fix will be OTA for Captivate in the next two weeks. "How" you might ask? By getting AT&T to allow me to end my Captivate contract 1.5 years early and switch to a Motorola ATRIX. Knowing my luck the fix will come out within hours receiving my ATRIX. I...

    One click backup on any Android?

    I am ready to move to another phone from my Captivate. I'm tired of waiting on 2.2 and can't stand the fact that I can't fully backup this phone in case it is lost or broken. Is there any Android phone that I can get on any network that meets ALL the following criteria: 1) Can connect to my...

    Root Yet another set of Root/ROM questions.

    I am on the fence between trying to get an Atrix or just giving in and rooting my Captivate and installing one of the latest ROMs. 1) Do these latest ROMs allow me to finally use Kies? Kies looks so cool and it is infuriating that I am not *allowed* to use it. 2) Do these latest ROMs actually...

    Root Will Custom ROMs always be "better"?

    I am really tired of waiting for Froyo. I'm thinking about installing a custom ROM. Initially I figured I might just install one to get me by until the official Froyo comes out (if it ever does). From looking through the description of the custom ROMs (Darky 7.0.2 for example), it looks like...

    Help How to watch live TV on Captivate?

    Is there an ap? Maybe a website that supports mobile phones? Sprint has a bunch of channels that stream directly to their Droid, but I assume AT&T will never allow that without paying for freakin uverse... I don't want to use it all the time, but getting ESPN and a few other channels that...

    Wow! Embarrassed by my Captivate!

    I went to an NBA preseason game in Orlando the other night. My friend had his new Sprint HTC EVO Droid (the one with the huge screen). Before we left my house he brought up his browser to check out where to park at the new stadium. I was SHOCKED at how fast he was able to whip around on the...

    Replacing Factory/stock Apps

    Suppose I like another email app better than the one that is built in. How can I make it so the email icon on my home screen goes to that app instead of the factory email app? Or maybe there is a way to delete the factory icon and insert a new one in that area?

    I got a better charger!

    As many have noticed the Captivate does not hold a charge very long and the OEM charger is painfully slow. I got my Captivate on release date and have already done the usual to increase battery life (app killer, screen brightness, etc). I have also re-calibrated the battery meter by letting...
