    Root My first "brick", and I have the wrong laptop.

    This is turning into one of those days. I decided it would be a nice idea to update to the .595 leak. I was toying around with LibertyGB 0.5 last night so I Bootstrap SBFed myself back to 2.3.340 and went from there. I was rolling and patting myself on the back for getting this process down...

    Accessories Trident Kraken vs. Otterbox Defender mini-review

    I've had some questions about my experiences with both items, so I thought I would share here. Depending on time constraints will I will try to take and upload pictures in the next few days to go along with the text. I shall cut to the chase and hit the high points. Base package: The...

    Root Liberty is quickly losing stability for me.

    I took my ROM plunge with Liberty the night it was released. I absolute love about 90% of the experience. The other 10% includes "to be fixed" bugs I've read about (unchangeable drop-down text, missing clock on dark status bars) and, recently, some fairly unpredictable instability and truly...

    Help Fragile coating? Annoying damage with no drops.

    I was doing my weekly cleaning on my X this morning (lint, fingerprints, etc) and found a pretty ugly surprise. I have one of the Verizon TPU cases on my phone. When I went to take it off, I noticed a gash in the rubberized coating where the TPU case meets the lower left hand corner of the...

    Is Motorola violating the spirit of "EFF v Apple"?

    I just finished reading a few briefs concerning the Electronic Frontier Foundation v Apple case concerning jailbreaking, firmare modification, etc and have gone from eyeing the topic warily on the side of Motorola to sitting firmly in the modder's corner. The sprit of the ruling, in my...

    Root Hide Superuser Permissions icon?

    I forgot to unroot before hitting the OTA. Although I lost root in the process, I still have the SuperUser Permissions icon in my app tray. Is there a way to hide the icon without having to root and remove it manually?

    My X and data usage - Good gravy!

    I've been monitoring my data usage since getting my X. On my Blackberries, as a very heavy user, I was averaging 300 - 500 mb per month, tops. I knew that my data usage would go up somewhat, but I just logged into My VZW and found that I've used almost a gig and a half of data this billing...

    Accessories Three way shootout - BSE, Skinomi, and Steinheil

    (A couple things before I begin: First, I wasn't thinking about a write-up when doing the applications so there are no pictures for me to show. I apologize. Second, there are multiple reviews out for each of these products; this is a short summary of my experiences with each and my opinion...

    Help Manual keys getting jiggly/loose

    I've had my X for a week now. When I took it out of the box, the bottom row keys were extremely firm and difficult to press. After a week of gentle use, the Menu and Home keys (which appear to be one physical key on a rocker) jiggle slightly up and down. They still require a slightly firm...

    Help Confusing email configuration issues

    I am having some very annoying email problems that I have fought with for almost a week, researched and tried multiple programs, and followed about every tutorial on this and similar sites to make work. My school system's email provider is junk, but since I'm a travelling teacher (I bounce...
