    Why aren't battery capacities bigger?

    I really wanted to get the new HTC One (M8). I currently have a Droid Maxx. It was really hard for me to leave the amazing battery life of my Maxx. I use my phone a lot throughout the day. I was disappointed that despite the M8 being even bigger than the M7 and the Droid Maxx, the battery...

    Gaming Performance

    Wondering if you guys noticed any stuttering in games on the DROID Maxx. I've noticed stuttering on several games, especially on Ridiculous Fishing. Also on a skee ball game. For comparison, the same games run perfectly smooth on my older Nexus 7 (2012). I know that the Nexus 7 has a quad...

    Voice Commands: Still useful? or a Novelty?

    I just recently got the Droid MAXX, and I've been testing out different voice commands. So far they seem moderately useful. Not having to touch the phone at all to give a voice command seems pretty awesome so far (I'm using a trusted bluetooth device to keep my phone unlocked). I'm curious if...

    Why I'm glad to not use iPhones

    My GF uses iPhones, and when she upgraded to a new iphone, her contacts did not completely sync over via icloud. It was unclear which contacts get saved. Whenever I switch to a new Android phone (or flash a new rom), getting my contacts back are a non-issue, they ALL get synced up in minutes...

    External SDcard and media scanner

    When I moved my microSD card from my previous phone to the RAZR M, none of my photos and music show up in the Gallery and Music player respectively. When copy from the internal SD to external SD using a file manager on the phone, the files do NOT show up. Only when I copy music and photos...

    RAZR M vs my previous phones

    I have owned 3 HTC phones before the RAZR M. I liked them all but have found flaws that really bothered me. However, the RAZR M is the phone that has fewest complaints from me. HTC Droid Incredible (the original with the AMOLED): poor battery life, noticeably slower compared to Nexus One. Bad...

    No SD card on the new Nexus 4 is BS

    I really wanted to get a Nexus device as my next phone, but it having no micro SD card is total BS. Their excuse is total BS. I'm not saying I'm entitled to having an SD card on my phone, but their excuse of it being too complicated for the user is disturbing. Just using a little common sense...

    A Tale of the Incredibles

    I have owned the HTC Droid Incredible, HTC Droid INcredible 2, and now the HTC Rezound, which I think should be the Incredible 3 because of it's similarly evolved design and it's translucent red insides. I got the Inc 1 on day one. I really wanted a Nexus One for Verizon, but nope. But the Inc...

    Now when they say a screen protector is resuable...

    Some of those crystal clear type screen protectors say they're reusable, but how? They also say that there's no adhesive, but it feels sticky to me as if there is something. Can I wash them somehow? If I get some lint stuck on it, is there a way to get the lint off?

    My pipedream

    With high end Android phones getting larger and larger, it sucks for a guy like me who has small hands and just don't like having a huge phone in general. I really like the form factor of the iphone4 and 4S. It would be amazing if an iphone4s could be jailbroken and run a ported version of ICS...

    Root I'm torn between 3 roms

    The first custom rom I flashed once I rooted my Inc2 was cm7. It's fast and has a lot of useful features and options (like volume rocker music control), but the low speaker volume and earpiece volume levels bothers me. I also don't like the looks as much as Sense roms, and I'm not good at...

    Help Speaker phone and in-call volume very low

    I just bought a used Inc2 off ebay, so I'm not sure if it's just my phone or do all Inc2 have a low volume problem when it comes to the speakerphone and the in-call volume. I can hear people, it just isn't as loud as my old Incredible. I am running cm7 with the Tiamat kernel which supposedly...

    Returned my Droid 3

    After using it for 10 days, it just wasn't the right phone for me. The main problem was how washed out the colors looked on the screen. It just always looked "off" to me. I compared it to my HTC Incredible, and the Inc looked much better. The RGBW configuration, I just don't like it. But it does...

    How are the colors on the Droid 3's lcd screen?

    I'm asking because some colors look really faded or washed out on my D3. Especially Yellow, then orange, and green. I'm starting to wonder if I have a defective lcd screen. Some people say that the screen looks fine. The colors look especially bad in games like Angry Birds and Words with...

    Root Problem with Titanium Backup in Gingerbread roms

    Titanium Backup will restore all my apps, but for certain apps, it will not restore the data. I've been flashing Gingerbread roms like Evervolv and Fusion. Both are Android version 2.3.2. Both of those roms will cause the same problem in Titanium Backup. However, I used to run CM7 Nightlies...

    Root AOSP rom, possible to have both Pattern Lock AND Slide Lock screens?

    I am running CM 6.1 stable for htc Inc., but this seems to happen on any AOSP custom rom. When I setup a pattern lock for my phone, the slide lock screen disappears. Is there a way to keep both? From searching, it seems like a lot people actually prefer to have only the pattern lock so they...

    Root Noob Question Alert: Do I really need to *228 each time?

    Do I really have to dial *228 to activate my phone each time I switch to a different rom? My phone has been working fine for a few days without doing so. Will they cut me off later? Sorry if this has been answered I couldn't find anything in search. Thanks in advance.

    Root Where can I download Koush AOSP kernels?

    I've searched here and all over teh internets, but can't find them. I guess it comes with CM6 roms, but is it available to download as a stand alone zip? Is there a AOSP Koush kernel that overclocks to 1075Mhz? I've tried Kings AOSP CPS#1 kernel, but for some reason, Koush's AOSP kernel is...

    Root Shadow rom slower with setcpu

    I'm test driving Shadow rom right now. Is it weird? I'm getting lower Quadrant scores when I am using Set CPU with the settings on 998Mhz on the Performance governor. I'm using the Koush kernel that came with the rom. With Set CPU uninstalled, I consistently get higher Quadrant scores. Am...

    Help Noob question: Why does the Incredible require drivers for usb connect?

    Why does the Incredible require drivers to connect to the PC via USB to transfer files, but the Nexus One does not. They are very similar phones. Why can't a generic mass storage device driver work? It seemed to work for the Nexus One. Am I missing something here? :confused:

    Root Battery saving rom and kernel combo recommendations?

    Anybody have recommendations for a rom and kernel combo that would give some good battery life to our battery vampire of a phone? I'm a heavy user, and I just think the incredible can be more efficient than it currently is. I'm running the Skyraider 2.5.2 vanilla rom and King Kernel BFS...

    Hello evertbody!

    Hello everybody! (Dr. Nick voice) I was one of those waiting eagerly for the Nexus One for Verizon. When I found out it was no longer coming I immediately ordered the HTC Incredible, and have no regrets. My gf has the Nexus One for at&t, so I'm always comparing. I have to say the better touch...
