    Back to Samsung after a few years

    After a pretty poor overall experience with the Galaxy Nexus on Verizon, I switched to Motorola phones and have been pretty happy with them. The Nexus suffered from a host of problems including poor signal and battery life. I've never been a touch wiz fan (as it just seemed to make the phone...

    Got the official 5.0.2 update

    And my Nexus 7 appears to be back! Did factory reset after just to be careful. Running very well again after becoming basically unusable with initial lollipop update. Anyone else got it?

    Battery life so much better now!

    I'm sure many of you on here have done this, but this quick fix can greatly help anyone who already doesn't know. My battery life was great before Jelly Bean, but lately it seems with little use it was dying in less than a day, overnight, etc. Upon checking battery stats, my Wi-Fi was solid...

    Speaker sounds terrible

    Just picked up my 16gb from Wally World and love it. The only problem is the speaker on the back. It sounds pretty bad overall and especially past about 50%. Just watching YouTube videos sound bad, so music is basically awful. I'm well aware this tablet is a bargain, so if this is normal...

    GNex waking itself back up

    I haven't seen anyone post this issue yet, so wanted to see if anyone has noticed it at all on their GNex. It's the weirdest thing, I haven't noticed it for the last 10 days I've had the phone...until tonight. Phone has been phenomenal, but battery life hasn't been the best so I stopped by VZW...

    Read 1st if considering GNex

    Like many others, I've been waiting for the this phone since the Bionic turned out to be a bust. The Hong Kong release had me excited and then as we all know, the waiting went on and on. Over the last couple weeks, I've been perusing though the GNex forums to get a good "feel" for the phone...

    Impressed with DX

    Just want to mention how impressed I am with my newly acquired Droid X. Got 3 of them for me, the wife and her sister after having quite a few problems with our Incredibles. Took some heat in the Inc forums for talking about switching to the X but glad I did. I was most worried about the...

    Droid Incredible...A love/hate relationship

    So after ordering 2 INC's preorder...I'm pretty much done with this phone. As much as I've defended it and justified the downsides, it's disappointing to feel this way, but I think it's time to move on. I am tired of having to worry about whether my phone will work or not. I'm over the whole...
