    Trade Razr Maxx for Droid DNA?

    I may have an opportunity to trade my Razr Maxx for a Droid DNA. I like the idea of having NFC and some of the other features, I know I may lose battery life and a few other things (HDMI/memory card) but I think it may be worth the trade off. I use NFC (on my Nexus 7) and would like it on my...

    My OG Droid touchscreen finally stopped responding, but I want to see if there is a way to still use it as a gauge display in my car (using Torque). The main issue is that I did a reset on it (hoping the issue was software related) and now I am stuck at the "Welcome to Droid - Touch the...

    Root Issue with unresponsive lock screen

    Here is the behavior I am noticing: 1) The time on the lock screen doesn't update, so if the phone powered up at 11:08am that is what the time is stuck at no matter what. 2) The lock screen shows "(No service)" but the phone can answer calls. 3) The lock screen is unresponsive - trying...

    Ideas for Droid once you upgrade?

    I have already upgraded to the Droid 3, and my OG Droid is currently in use by a family member. Once I get it back, I was wondering if anyone ever came up with creative ideas for it. Ideas I kicked around: - ipod touch style "wifi only" device, but I wouldn't need it since I have the D3 -...

    Return DX2 and get Droid 3?

    I recently got the Droid X2, and I am still in my 14-day window. I am considering getting rid of my Droid X2 and getting a Droid 3 instead. I currently have the OG Droid, and the only advantage I see of the Droid X2 is the larger screen - other than that, the Droid 3 seems like a better bet...
