    Griffin car dock died...here comes McGyver!

    My Griffin dock has failed so that it won't charge my phone and I refuse to buy another one or fix this cheap piece of crap. I saw this thread where a person used an Otterbox Commuter case and a Razr Maxx car dock to McGyver a dock solution. As it happens, I moved to the Maxx from a Razr Maxx...

    Razr Car Mode APK

    So, I cracked the screen on my Razr Maxx and picked up a new Droid Maxx. Seems like a great phone, BUT, the accessories are cheesy as hell and there are no dock modes. Any way get my hands on the apk for the car mode and desktop alarm clock? Can't believe they got rid of these on some of the...

    Holy cheesy accessories, Batman!

    Cracked the screen on my Razr Maxx yesterday so I picked up a Maxx on the way home from work. Looks like a great phone, feels like a great phone, and acts like a great phone. I'll take it. Now it's time to look at the accessories and there's only a couple of docks for my desk and one for the...

    Wish I had Ice Cream Sandwich again!

    I think Motorola/Google have a Jelly Bean problem with regards to the Razr. I'm seeing too many threads on here with nagging problems that appeared after the update to overlook the obvious conclusion that Jelly Bean for the Razr is flawed. I'm hoping that we'll get a tweak fix soon to address...

    Help Travelling to Thailand...just pop in one of their sims???

    Heading out to Thailand in a few hours and just got off the phone with Verizon to get my phone unlocked. No dice. Even though I'm heading into Laos and their map shows no service options they won't unlock my phone. Will my phone work if I drop a Thai sim in it? Mike

    Help In Japan and need some help

    I'm in Japan and decided to bring the phone to see if the ICS update really gave us global capabilities. For the first few days I was here I could see bars and receive text messages but nothing else worked. I had mobile data enabled but had white bars and no connectivity. Emailed Verizon for...

    I download an app and it creates a homescreen shortcut

    Not sure why but for the last few days whenever I download a new app I get a message saying that a shortcut is being created, followed by another that says there's no room on the homescreen for the shortcut. Anybody else seeing this? What can I do to disable this? Mike

    Upgrading from the Droid X

    So, not the most mature thing I've ever done but I smashed my Droid X and now I need a new phone. The wife was bugging me about a few female friends I have in Facebook, including a few I knew in high school, and after a recent round of "who's that" questions I simply grabbed my phone and...

    Is there a Tasker profile to disable the security lock when docked?

    I've got a profile to silence the phone when docked at night so that only selected contacts ring through, and a simpler one that starts Pandora when I plug in my headphones. Now for something else. Is it possible to build a profile that will disable the lock screen and security pattern when...

    Since updating to 2.3.3, the multimedia dock app has been acting strangely and I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this. When I drop the phone in the dock I get a popup asking me which program I want to use to run the app. I select Multimedia Dock App and the remember button and the...

    Root Random reboots...will root help?

    I did the update to 2.2.1 that was pushed out earlier in the month and since then my phone has been randomly rebooting. The phone is bone stock with the exception of running LPP and Fancy Widgets, and I've heard a few recommendations to try uninstalling LPP and see if that's causing the reboots...

    Looking for a nighttime call filter

    Hello, I just picked up a Droid X, got a multimedia dock, and now I'm looking for an app that I saw once before and can't locate now that I have the phone. I was reading through various app review sites and saw an app that seemed to be geared towards filtering calls while the phone was in the...
