    My 4th Droid ... WoW!!!

    My "smartphone life" began with the OG Droid. Next I moved onto the Bionic. Then there was the Droid Razr Maxx. I've been holding out way too long, but finally pulled the trigger on the new Edge PLUS. I know it's only been a few days, but I just cannot find any fault with this device. The...

    My new RAZR MAXX - my 3rd Android phone

    I got the original Droid on release day. It was my 1st smart phone. I rooted and ROM'ed and over-clocked the crap outta that thing. I passed it down to my wife ... it was her first smart phone. Then I got the Bionic on release day. Rooted it ... but never ROM'ed or over-clocked. Just...

    Damaged Device Fee

    A few Mondays ago, I woke up to find that my Bionic would not power on. Period. It was simply DEAD. (I'm an IT guy, so please don't ask the typical questions. Yes, the battery was charged. Yes, I tried my spare CHARGED battery. etc., etc...) I called Verizon and they over-nighted me a...

    Looking for drivers for Windows 8 ... anyone?

    I can't find any drivers that support Windows 8 64-bit. Not totally surprising, but I thought I'd see if anyone else found them. I'd appreciate a link. I have other Win7 laptops that I can use, but really like my newest laptop that I've installed Win8 on. Thanks. :)

    Root Is there any ROM supporting the 5.6.893 update?

    Please note, NOT talking about 5.5.893 ... but 5.6.893. There seems to be some controversy surrounding these two versions. And now there's a 5.7.893 available!!! Scroll down to Post#4 for more info.

    Root Back to stock, Forever root, .893, LOST ROOT, not good!

    As the title says, I read several threads and understood the process as well as just about anyone. I followed the directions to a 'T', and now I'm screwed. Or, should I say my Bionic is. I have tried every manual method or RE-rooting that I could find, and it just ain't happenin'. It appears...

    Root Boot loops, or FLASH loops. What's worse?

    To clarify... A Boot Loop is when your phone just continually keeps trying to boot. The only cure, the dreaded battery pull. And then ... you run to the nearest computer trying to find out how the heck you're going to UNdo what YOU just did to your precious little baby. Or... A Flash...

    Root Welp! ... I BRICKED it! Here we go...

    Shortly after reading this thread, I got all excited and managed to change my battery icon using TBH. I posted a pic in this post ... pretty cool, huh? So far, so good. Then I got greedy ... :o So I proceeded to use TBH to change my font. The app said it was "successful" so I rebooted...

    HDMI Out > TV ... Groovy pic!

    Just got an HDMI cable for the Bionic and plugged it into my son's TV. Fired up the camera app (PRO Zoom Camera 5X) and took a shot. Sweet! :D As a side note, I'm still not sure which camera app I'm going to use on the Bionic. I've paid for several. Now I just need to test them all out...

    Root 'Contacts Storage' Force Closes? - FIX!!!

    I started experiencing FCs today and wondered what app I froze, using Titanium Backup Pro, that was causing the issue. At the bottom of the list was the two Yahoo! apps. I unfroze them and BAM!!! All better! :) Do NOT freeze Yahoo! Mail Authenticator. You will start getting 'Contact...

    ATTN: Swype lovers

    I was so delighted that my new Bionic came with Swype pre-installed. But I soon realized that I didn't like the light-colored theme of the version, and it also didn't a built-in personal dictionary like the latest release of Swype. So I uninstalled this version, then installed the latest...

    Curious ... What's the age of a Bionic owner?

    Reading some of the comments in this sub-forum, I have to wonder what age group some of the Bionic owners belong to. Thus the poll. I'm 46, an IT Professional (MS AD Admin, network engineer, MS desktop, etc...), and I'm fairly picky about the tools that I use. Using three words or less...

    OG DROID vs. Bionic ... Display

    My wife, kids and I (4 of us) watched a YouTube video on both devices simultaneously. The Bionic was the crisper, clearer, more vivid winner ... voted by all four of us. I've heard some negative comments regarding the Bionic's display. And frankly, I just don't get it. :confused: And I'm...

    The Bionic has surpassed my expectations!

    Coming from the OG DROID, a two-year-old device, I had somewhat HIGH expectations for the Bionic. Less than 24 hours later, and non-stop tinkering, I can tell you that I am much more than satisfied. This thing ROCKS!!! :cool: I am somewhat disappointed that I didn't make it through the...
