    Help Novo Hero I - Screen Shot

    (AF had stated I should make this question here as there is no Novo Hero I Forum ;)) I have the Hero I running JB. In order to take a screen shot, I thought the process was just like ICS... (Power and Vol (-)). But all that seems to do is turn down my volume. lol. Is there a different way to...

    Help Screen always on

    When charging. I know I changed this setting before, cause I wanted to to always be on. Now I don't. Lol. But I can't find the setting to revert back. The first time I changed it, I was on GB, and have since done the OTA to ICS. Can someone point me in the right direction? (Non root, stock)...

    What would be easier on the Droid's battery? Making a hot spot for a tablet using WiFi or Bluetooth? Or are they about the same?

    Help ICS and The Bionic Lapdock

    Just started playing with the lap dock again and noticed the Firefox native app is no longer there. It was kinda handy to be able to switch from browsing to other things. Is this now good with the ICS upgrade? Or is there a way to get that back?

    Help Drops / redirects

    Anyone else's Bionic acting uppity?? Starting today, my Bionic has taken to dropping ALL signal periodically. (not just data, but the entire signal strength indicator is the dark grey, no bars) Then the Light Grey 3G hangs on for a bit then Light Grey 4G, then it locks in blue. Also when using...

    Help Disable Screen Shot sound?

    Using the ICS native screenshot (Vol DN+Power) there is a rather loud "CLICK" when the screen shot is taken. I have tried various volume controls, including everything silent. The sound is still there. Anyway to disable it w/o rooting and renaming files? Seems odd you can disable the real cam...

    Still amazed....

    The 4g speeds.... I have had my bionic do quite a while, but locked him into 3g due to constant data drops on GB. After THE ICS update, I cleaned house on my phone, and it's like having a brand new tool. I didn't want to "Hooray" right away... wanted to give it a chance to see if the 4g was...

    Root Update Failed

    Ok...this is the 2nd time in a row. Downloaded no problem. During install, with the droid coming out of the box, it gets to about a third done, then I get the triangle with the ! inside it. The phone reboots and I get the "update failed". Stock but rooted, everything thawed, never used a...

    Help Losing 3g now

    Well this is fantastic. I got used to keeping the ol Bionic in 3g to avoid the gingerbread data drop issue. It sucks, but it was functional. Now today, I am having intermittent 3g data drops. Yay. :mad: I trolled the Verizon site's forums and it sounds like as of this morning, lots of folks in...

    Help Signal strength

    More a general question about Support I guess... When looking at "status" and are checking out the signal strength, can someone explain the benchmarks that are used? I mean, I guess they can't say "bars" it has to be a measurable entity...

    Root Might not be a big deal for you...

    Root Stock vs. Custom Revocery

    At the risk of getting a stern talking to.... What's the difference? I have tried searching and can find hits regarding either stock recovery, or a custom recovery, but what would be the reasoning to use one over the other? :confused: :: Ducks for cover::

    Lapdock w/ ICS Leaks

    Anyone play around with this? Or is it even possible with the lock of firefox (I've heard?) Am rooted stock .905 now and love the lapdock except for the CONSTANT "low memory" warnings. (Only 1 window open, just simple browsing, nothing spectacular) Maybe the ICS will address that issue as...

    Ext. Battery

    Has anyone had trouble with non Motorola extended batteries? I know sometimes the Bionic is twitchy about non Motorola parts. There are some pretty good deals on ext. batteries on Amazon, and I was looking to pick one up. I see the Motorola Droid Bionic XT875 Extended Battery (2760mAh) as...

    Is there an app out there that...

    Will show a list of running processes and running services in order of battery drain? Some things that are running are no big deal, some things are big drains... I know using stock, you can sort by CPU usage, so would it be fair to figure this would, in turn, be the biggest batt hog? Have a...

    Root Forgive my idiocy.. But...

    When The Bionic gets the ICS Update from Verizon..... If I am rooted, will that be a problem? Will the phone update to ICS? Will the phone still be rooted after the update? And why, oh why, is chicken fried steak just so darn good? Thanks, all

    Data vs. Text

    Hello again- I will be traveling to Cabo San Lucas in January. I am aware of the international Verizon roaming charges associated with voice and text. My question is this: Are notifications (i.e. a facebook notification, WordFued, etc) considered a text, or part of data? I don;t mean when you...
