    Help VZW: Can't encrypt phone after 4.2.2 update

    I got the 4.2.2 update for my VZW Galaxy Nexus this morning, and decided after it was installed to reset to factory for good measure. After doing so, I tried to turn on phone encryption (which I'd had on before without issue), and every time I go through the steps to start the encryption...

    Help Right edge of screen won't respond to touch

    A couple of days ago the right edge of my screen stopped responding to touch. It's only about 1/8" of an inch at most, but it's supremely frustrating. The backspace key on the on-screen keyboard won't respond & will instead insert the character immediately to the left of it on the keyboard...

    How many people have had their screen fail but everything else on the phone still works?

    I'm trying to get a sense of how many people have encountered an issue with their Droid's screen not working, though everything else on the phone is apparently fine. It's happened to me a few times, and the screen won't show any picture, but the touch sensor & haptic feedback are all still...

    Recently I've started having an issue with Google Maps. Every time I reboot my phone, and open Maps after it turns back on, all my user settings have been reset back to default. So far I haven't been able to figure out the cause. Any suggestions?

    Problems with Best Buy's customer service for my Droid

    I wasn't really sure which forum to put this in since it's not a carrier issue, but since it relates to my Droid I figured that was the best choice. Anyway, Today I dropped my Droid by accident, or rather it got knocked off a bar-style table, so a drop of probably 4 feet or so onto a hard...

    Root Tip: Wifi Tethering & Locale

    Quick tip for folks who want to use wifi tether and use Locale as well: Locale periodically power cycles the wifi, meaning your connection will periodically drop between your phone and any tethered devices without warning, and won't pick back up until you restart the wifi tether app. When you...

    Since rooting & installing Bugless Beast, my on screen keyboard no longer defaults to upper case when I select a text field.

    I'm trying to use SIPDroid with my Gizmo5 account. However, every time I try to make a call it says "dialing" and then a second later says "call ended". It does this on both wifi and 3G, no matter how much signal I have. I've double-checked all my settings and they're all right. Does anybody...
