    Help Unlock button too hard to hit?

    Hi, guys. I got my Thunderbolt last friday night along with the extended battery because I heard everybody crying about battery life. This phone is huge and heavy with the extended slapped on the back. It does feel solidly made, though... so I can appreciate a little heft. My biggest complaint...

    Poll: Are you keeping or returning your Atrix

    So, this is it. It's black or white. Are you keeping it or returning it? No whining posts, no flames. Just vote it up so we can see what the general consensus is. If you are on the fence, don't vote until you've made your decision. I also don't want to hear your reasons why you are on the...

    There is hope afterall: HSUPA coming!

    It's coming! It should have worked from the start, but its coming! Yes, I know it is just an Engadget article and may mean nothing, but it gives me hope that they are at least working on it. The only gripes I have about my Atrix are this issue and the weird data disconnect bug I have when...

    A thought on our Atrix upload speeds

    Now, we've all seen speed test upload speeds on our Atrix's that seem horrible for a "4g" phone. My question is, when you are not using a speed test... do you notice it being slow? I, for one, notice this phone uploads things like emails or picture and video messages faster than any other smart...

    @ "returning my atrix" threads

    Why post these? If you are unhappy with your device... return it. Why do you need other people to convince you to keep a device you are unhappy with?

    Help Data Connection Switching Bug?

    So, I love my new Atrix. I do have one concern going forward with it, however. At home I am on wifi at all times, and at work depending where I am in the building I go back and forth between 2 different wifi networks. I notice when the phone goes back and forth between networks or goes from the...

    Working Swype with No Root Necessary!

    I've got a working .apk I found here for Swype on the Aria. Been searching for it cause I figured I'd like it best on a screen the size of the Aria's. I installed it on my stock device with no root using the Wonder Machine. Just figured I'd share. <edit, sorry guys. had to take down the link>...

    Accessories Found a desktop dock for the Aria

    So I've been looking for a nice desktop dock for the Aria so I can use it on my nightstand at night while charging. I don't like laying it flat on my nightstand cause having the speaker against the surface muffles the speaker, and I use it as an alarm clock most nights. I scoured about, but...

    AT&T is killing our batteries?

    So... I've had my phone since the 18th, and I have been reluctant to use a "task manager" app other than the stock one built into Android. When I did I noticed AT&T Navigator... which I have never ever used, was running. I killed it, and a few minutes later its back on the list. This has been...

    Accessories Found a great car mount for the Captivate

    I was shopping around for a bit looking for a really good car mount for my Captivate. After a bit of research I came up with the iGrip 1263 Extender Kit. I've taken a picture of the barcode for you all. This is by far the most stable and nicely made universal mount I have found for a...

    Default wifi settings maybe be a battery waster.

    K, so this is my second Android phone, and the Aria I had before it I only had for two weeks. When I had the Aria I had read that if WiFi is turning itself on and off every time you lock/unlock your phone it hurts your battery life. This made sense to me cause in my experiences 3G wastes battery...

    WTF is WispService?

    My Captivate is my first Android phone so I'm not sure what is standard Android crap and AT&T crapware yet. In my running tasks I've got one running all the time called WispService. It has the same icon as the AT&T Hot Spots app, so I have a feeling this thing just watches out for AT&T hot...

    Warning to Best Buy buyers

    Picked up my Captivate from Best Buy today, but boy what an ordeal it was. Long story short, they have the price jacked up (both contract price and non-contract price). You can pick one up in an AT&T store for $199.99 with a 2 year contract or $499.00 with no contract. Best Buy has them listed...

    Steve Jobs goes to the doctor...

    Steve jobs walks into his doctors office clutching his abdomen in pain. He says to the doctor "I think something went wrong with my liver transplant, doc..." The doctor jots some things down on his clip board, looks up at Steve and says "I'm pretty sure you're just holding it wrong..."
