    Thinking about joining army

    It looks like the sun is coming out

    From the bottom left corner of my Nexus 7. The corner appears to be getting brighter. I think my screen is attempting to pop out. If I press that corner the light goes away, and when I release the light returns. I never even abused my poor tablet. I read about this a while back. I'm starting...

    Help Constant BT disconnect

    While i used Gingerbread, i had no problems with BlueTooth connectivity. Since i switched to ICS, my BlueTooth earpiece has been constantly disconnecting. Sometimes it will go 5 mins no problem. Other times it is every 15-30 seconds. Is this a result of ICS? Is anyone else having BT problems now?

    I bought a HDMI cord and connected my Razr to my TV. I was expecting to be able to use Web Top, but found out I have to buy an accessory called HD Dock or HDMI Dock.

    Help finally got my Maxx...

    So I finally got my Razr Maxx today. And it has a blue pixel towards the bottom of the screen. It's always blue when the screen is on. I assume this is considered a "dead" pixel. Is this fixable or do I have to exchange it?
