    Help Dolphin browser is so slow on this phone

    I've used dolphin browser for like 3 years now. I just switched to the Galaxy S4 and noticed that dolphin now runs much slower than it did on my old Bionic. It appears that webpages just load much slower. I see the loading bar (at the top) and it just keeps loading & reloading. I'm not sure if...

    Touchwiz is worse than before

    Just got my phone yesterday, and I have to say Touchwiz has changed alot since my last Samsung (Galaxy S). Even the Galaxy S Touchwiz was a little crappy, so I flashed custom ROMs that worked well. But the Galaxy S4 Touchwiz is pretty bad. Can't wait til stable ROMs get released so I can get rid...

    Buy now, or wait for GS4?

    I'm on Verizon, and I'm able to upgrade my phone tomorrow, and had these 3 phones I'd want: Galaxy S4 Galaxy Note 2 Droid DNA I'd like to get the GS4 because it has the newest hardware & because the resell value will be decent considering how so many people know about this phone (compared...

    Best smartphone/music player

    It's almost time to upgrade again, and I'm looking to buy a really good android phone (Galaxy S4 or Galaxy Note 2). My only peeve is that every android phone I've owned doesn't have fine-tuning volume control. The only smartphone I know that does is the iPhone, but I'd never buy that. What...

    Can this phone go on for 3 more months?

    If anyone reads my prior posts, I've had many problems with this phone from the beginning. I'm on my 4th Bionic (exchanged my first 3 due to instability), and I'm on my 3rd wall charger (seems like the chargers have a useful life of 6 months). I didn't mind buying a charger (cuz it's only $5)...

    My last Motorola phone

    1. Had to return 4 Droid Bionics due to software/hardware issues (that equals 1 of 5 Droid Bionics actually worked). 2. The working Bionic i have has now started to glitch, drop data, and drop GPS frequently, at least 40% of the time (this has been going on for 2 months). 3. The kinks and...

    Root What, no more development for this phone?

    I never really liked this phone (save, for the 1 month it was the best 4G phone). What really saved this phone was the development for it. With the new OTA updates being rolled out, I noticed that there is no stable ROM released this year. It seems that everyone has moved on to developing the...

    Terrible Sound Distortion

    I've had this on 2 Bionics now (replaced my first one with a new one), and had this issue on both. Without warning, my phone's sound (speaker and earpiece) will become severely distorted. The best way to explain it is that it sounds like Nintendo (the 8-bit console). I researched this issue...

    Cheapest Retail Price

    Where do they sell this phone (LTE version) for the cheapest? I am thinking about selling my Bionic and getting this phone (Bionic is a freezing, data-dropping P.O.S.).

    Speaker and GPS?

    Has anyone heard anything regarding how loud and good the speaker sounds? Also, how well does the GPS work?

    Warning: Damage from Micro USB Cable

    Just a tip for you guys. I just damaged my Bionic's Micro USB port. I was connecting the cable to charge it, and I was inserting the cable correctly. But, apparently, the port on the Bionic is not fortified well, and when I accidentally twisted the cable slightly (like 2 milimeters), it cracked...

    How ICS will work on Bionic?

    From my understanding, the Galaxy Nexus will not have any non-screen buttons (meaning the home, back, & app buttons will be on the actual screen). How will ICS look on a phone with non-screen buttons like the Bionic? Will it be a different variation of ICS w/o the on screen buttons? I...

    Button Layout Makes No Sense

    One main thing I noticed with Moto Droid phones is the unintuitive button layout. Logically, it would make sense to make the most often used button near your thumb. Why do they always make the power & screen on/off button on top? Who the hell uses their volume rockers more than the power...

    Where are you buying your Bionic?

    In the past, I've bought phones from LetsTalk for much lower than retail. But, I'm not sure if they will have the Bionic on release date. Where are you going to buy your Bionic, and how much are you going to be paying? :confused:

    Official Froyo vs. Custom Roms

    Yes, I know everyone is going to have varying opinions on this. Just wondering how the official 2.2 is compared to say Serendipity. I am contemplated on going to official 2.2 rooted. I think custom roms are nice with added apps and aesthetics. I have been running an unstable Serendipity 5.8...

    Root Best Stable Rom

    Just wondering what you think it is. I've only used Assonance, and it is decent. It does have a few bugs, and I'm having GPS problems (though I haven't really tried to fix it yet). But, what I noticed is Cognition and Perception have bugs too. All I want is a debuged Rom that has all the...

    Root Updating/Replacing Rom

    I want to update my Assonance 3.1 Rom to Assonance 4.3, but don't know the best way to do this. I used one click root, and clockwork to get Assonance 3.1 in the fist place.

    Root Backing up contacts

    What is the best way to back up contacts when running a non-stock OS? I am about to flash from stock 2.1 to Assonance, and would like to have the ability to save my contacts, preferably on AT&T address book.

    Help Ways to extend your battery!

    I've had this phone for over a month, and I am ashamed I didn't figure this out until now. As you all know, the short battery life is mainly due to the huge Captivate screen. I found out that there is another brightness setting for the stock browser. This setting is independent from the phone...

    Help Stop Loading Mobile Websites!

    Has anyone figured out a way to have the Captivate default browser not load mobile pages? I didn't fork out all this extra money to load websites in the same format as my old flip phone. It really stupid.
