    I have a Droid Razr and two sd cards. I am confused about how to get it to read the correct data from each card. As you probably know, the top left slot contains the internal card...correct? This card is reading all my previously owned apps, however, my backed up data is saved on the external...

    Root Try to root 2.2.3

    I am having a hard time rooting my phone. I also can't find anything current on the forum. I think my model is way outdated! Anyway, I have been trying for the past few days with z4root and only get 2/3 of the way there. I get to the point of accessing the root shell, but then it force closes to...

    I have been trying to find an application that will allow me to generate tasks/todo's, view calendar/set appts, and that also has a full-day agenda view. I want it to have reminder/snooze. easy access/data entry, and a default view of all of the above in grid format (such as with Color Note)...

    Google Play

    I can't figure it out, but ever since Market was changed to Google Play, I have been low on space and had to remove 10 applications in order to stop the notification about low space. It seems that Google Play is a space hog and Google won't reply to my emails. Any ideas? Thanks

    Help Market - Installed Applications???

    I have been removing the update for the new market layout because I don't like it. Every so often it updates itself to the current version and every time, I simply revert back to the original version. This time, however, although all my applications work, they do not appear as installed in the...

    4g trumps 3g

    Ever since 4g came out, 3g lags. Verizon is trying to get folks to upgrade by slowing them down. But I would rather have a slow internet connection than to pay them more money!

    home screen/launcher LAGGING ISSUES

    How can I improve the loading of home screen/s? Whenever I select the home key to get out of another application,it takes so long for home screen to appear and once it does, it still takes time before I can flip through screens. I am using Go Launcher. Could it be a problem with that application?

    CoPilot ripped me off!

    Good thing I only paid 5.00 for the piece of crap! But it turns out you need wifi to download the map to your phone. Otherwise you have to download to your PC from their website. No problem...all except the regions I need are UNAVAILABLE. Although....they do have the option of paying 29.99 for...

    Is there a good navigation system?

    I know that Google has this free, so-called map navigation system but it is terrible. It might get me to places sometimes but it's not very user-friendly. The voice navigation works intermittently, searches can't be edited, you can't pull up search history to star your favorites, can't...

    Help How much for wifi??

    I don't have Verizon service anymore because 30.00/month is a rip-off. I was hoping to use wifi but even though it says I am connected I get no action. Even with Cheetah Guest..nothing. Then Cisco says they have a free password...but nothing. So do I need to do something special to make my wifi...
