    Hello, I have a Nexus 5X and am running stock Android. I use a Nest Protect and would like to receive smoke and carbon monoxide alerts even when my phone is in Do Not Disturb mode at night.

    What can't I do with a Razr Maxx that I can do with a VZW Nexus?

    Hello, I am more than ready to upgrade from my Samsung Droid Charge, with which I had a relatively horrible experience (poor LTE reception/fall backs to 3G in areas with solid LTE signal, poor battery life even when locked to 3G, takes forever to charge, very long delays to begin route when...

    Bluetooth speaker with AVRCP

    Hello, After my mediocre quality bluetooth speaker finally broke, I recently bought the Jawbone Jambox. The sound quality is excellent, but it's missing AVRCP (The ability to switch from one track to the next and to pause/resume). I'm looking for a bluetooth speaker that has high quality...

    Keep my Droid Charge or switch to Thunderbolt?

    Hello Everyone, I figured I'd ask this here as the Droid Charge sub-forum will likely be biased. I am on my 14th day with the Samsung Droid Charge (last day to return) and am trying to decide whether to keep it or switch to a Thunderbolt or LG Revolution. I like the Super AMOLED screen...

    Help Keep or Swap Out? (my last day to decide)

    Hello Everyone, Today is my 14th day with the Droid Charge, and I have been having a few force close issues, but I've come to expect that with Android. Aside from that, my experience has been mostly positive. Yesterday, however, whenever I'd try to recharge with my (Verizon branded) car...

    Hello Everyone, I am looking for a somewhat compact, wireless, self-powered, self-inclosed (plug into wall receptacle, no batteries) waterproof (or highly water-resistant) speaker that I can put in my bathroom. So far, I have resorted to blasting Pandora from the other room, but the volume...

    Download YouTube Audio Only

    Hi Everyone, I am looking for a good app that can be used to download only the audio portion of a YouTube video. (This will not be used for copyright infringement.) TubeMate works pretty well, but does not do strictly audio. I'd like to try TubeMusic, but cannot find it anywhere and it seems...

    Pinpoint Cursor Placement Similar to iPhone

    Hi Everyone, I'm sure that there has to be a thread about this somewhere, but I've looked quite a bit and can't seem to find one. Before my Dell Streak (now running 2.1, using the the Swype keyboard), I had an iPhone. I definitely don't miss much about it, but one thing that was nice was, when...

    Help Clock in Portrait Mode - ADW Launcher

    Hi Everyone, I am loving how ADW Launcher allows me to use portrait mode on the home screen of my streak, running 2.1, however, I miss being able to see the time at the top of the screen.

    Help No Data

    Hi Everyone, On the AT&T line on which I am now using my Streak, I used to have a non-smartphone with AT&T's $15 unlimited "feature phone" data plan. When I put this SIM into my Streak, WiFi obviously worked fine, but I was unable to connect to the cellular data network. I assumed that this...

    Help Default to Desktop Style View?

    Hi Everyone, Is there any kind of program, hack, or workaround that will allow Chrome or Opera Mini to "spoof" websites into always displaying as though they are being viewed on a desktop computer? Many web pages I frequent will default to a neutered "mobile" style view, and although my Streak...

    Hello Everyone, I am looking for a waterproof MP3 player that accepts a MicroSD card up to 16GB (ideally 32GB). If possible, I am seeking Bluetooth support with AD2P, so that I can use a wireless headset. (I would then also be looking for recommendations for a waterproof Bluetooth headset.)...

    Head Crash?

    Hi Everyone, I am new to the forum, but there seem to be many of knowledgeable people here, so I'll give this question a shot: This morning, as I was simultaneously writing data to and copying files from my external 3.5" HDD, it fell off of a 3 foot high table onto a carpeted floor. I can...

    "Unofficial" Android Phones That Work Well On AT&T

    Hi Everyone, I am thinking about skipping this round of iPhone and opting for an Android handset for use on AT&T. I may wait for the Samsung Captivate, but am wary about how it will stack up, particularly when it comes to the feel of the touchscreen compared other handsets. (The sensitivity...
