I recently bought a 7800 mah extended battery and I'd like to also get a case. Can anyone recommend one? TIA

Just did the Lollipop update on my S5 (Verizon). Generally things are working OK, however battery performance seems to fluctuate. I just wiped the cache partition so hopefully that will help. I use Nova Launcher and that's been working without a hiccup. One small problem is the widget I was...

I have a BT hands free system built in to my car stereo. My previous phone would automatically connect when I was in the car, however the S5 doesn't. I have to go into the BT phone settings and tap it to connect. Pairing is not the problem - the BT device list shows that the car deck is...

I'm eligible for an upgrade on Verizon and I'm wondering if there's any difference (cost or otherwise) where I get the S5, eg in a Verizon store Vs Verizon online Vs third party sources? I remember that the last time I upgraded at a Verizon store I had to pay an extra fee. I'd like to avoid...

I'd be interested to hear how well the S5 works with BT headsets and car systems. My current phone is not the best in that respect and I'm wanting my next phone to be an improvement.

I know there's a dedicated S5 forum, but I'm asking here because I wonder if any DNA owners are looking at it? My DNA has been great, but it has issues now due to age and I'm thinking of an upgrade. The S5 just became available and I expect it will take some time for things to shake out, but...

The USB port on my DNA is starting to fail. I have to be careful when I plug it in to make sure it starts charging and I can't get a stable connection to the PC anymore. I have the extended warranty and I wonder if this port problem would be covered? I'll have to call them of course, but I...

On my DNA (and as of 4.2.2) it doesn't work to change from the default "sense" keyboard to Swype by long-pressing in a text box - nothing happens. After some hunting I discovered how it's done: 1. Open a text entry field such as an SMS message box 2. Notice that a small keyboard icon appears...

I have a PIN set on the lock screen with a timeout of five minutes. My understanding of how it should work is if I unlock and then allow the screen to turn off the phone should remain unlocked until it reaches the five minute mark. Instead what happens is the screen immediately locks. I can...

All of a sudden the battery of my DNA is draining much more quickly. For instance, yesterday evening I charged it to 100% and then unplugged it overnight. I use Juice Defender and it turns off everything overnight - no account checking or syncing occurs. This morning the charge was down to...

Can you recommend a good app for detailed battery usage? I find the built-in app kind of limited.

When I bought the DNA I opted for the extended warranty so I'd at least have that through the two year contract period. I still have the option to change/add insurance though and I'm wondering what choices you've made? Is "total coverage", which I think costs $7/month, worth it?

Looking around in the settings I can't find anything for GPS. On previous phones there's been an option to limit GPS to e911 - has that changed? I'm not trying to turn it off, just exploring the options.

Here's an inexpensive hard case and screen protector package. It's available in black, red and white with free shipping: Nillkin Premium Matte Hard Cover Case + LCD Guard 4 HTC Droid DNA / Incredible X | eBay Regarding external battery packs how long does it take to charge the phone compared...

I recently updated the firmware in my home router and now my Dinc2 cannot connect to the wifi. More exactly it sees and connects to the network, but then can't receive an IP address using DHCP. I tried an app called Wifi Fixer, but it didn't help. If I change the network settings in the phone...

I stopped by two corporate stores in my area today wanting to confirm they would have the DNA on the 21st. They both knew nothing about the new phone release and one actually said "we don't know until 24 hours before the release". How can the corporate stores not know when a new phone is going...

Since there's no ICS in sight for the Inc2 I've decided to start looking at other phones. The new Razr-M caught my eye because of its size. I like the size of the Inc2 and the Razr-M is almost exactly the same even though it has a 4.3 inch screen (made possible by new edge to edge technology)...

VZW has reduced the price of the Rezound to $80 on the website and it will perhaps become available for even less from third parties such as Amazon. I know it's a little late in its life cycle, but it still seems like a strong phone and now ships with ICS. I wonder what people think of the...

Now that tethering is available at no extra charge I'm interested in trying it with my Inc2. Can you recommend an app that works well with it? I would use it with a Windows laptop.

Recently watched a review of the One X and the RAZR Maxx which included running Quadrant Standard (QS). I downloaded QS and ran it on the Dinc2 - the One X is literally 400% faster. I was surprised that the RAZR Maxx scored only about 200% faster than the Dinc2. Have you used QS and do you...

It looks like the release of the Dinc 4G is imminent. Look here: Maximum PC | HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE Smartphone Officially Sets Sail for Verizon HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE official, landing at Verizon "in the coming weeks" | PhoneDog The specs look pretty good (it will ship with ICS)...

I recently started receiving a spam notification which opens a browser window with an advertizement. This is not an SMS or email message. I'm guessing it was caused by something I installed but how can I figure out what, and more importantly how can I disable or block the ads? TIA

There's a WidgetLocker update available today. New version is 2.2.1 - many changes under the hood, plus new sliders. Very nice!

I'd be interested to hear from anyone using Fast Reboot, and especially the configurable Pro version, what they think about it. I have Advanced Task Killer so I used it to display a list of running processes (not kill them). I then ran Fast Reboot which displays a list of processes that it...

I know there are other threads about replacement launcher apps, but I'm curious if anyone here is using one on the Inc2 and what they see as the advantage over the Sense UI? I tried Go Launcher EX briefly and while I liked it I didn't see that it offered anything not already available in the...
