    APN Settings

    I have found an alternative method of editing the APN settings. I never was able to get offline APN editor to actually change the APN. What's needed: A rooted Commando HiAPNGlobal application - google it Root Explorer or some application that will allow you to edit an xml file. HiAPN will...

    C811 performance on European GSM networks?

    I'm going to be traveling in Central & Eastern Europe this summer and was wondering how well the C811 works on European networks using a VZW SIM. Last year I had a Droid Razr Maxx and it took forever to connect and generally was a disappointment. I know there are several on here that are using...

    GPS and wakelocks

    Is anyone else seeing high wakelock times when their GPS is enabled? If I leave the GPS on I get lots of partial wakelocks and poor battery life. If I keep it disabled then deep sleep is king. I don't need or care if my GPS stays on or not, I'm mostly just curious as to why the wakelocks...

    Google Edition Camera

    This is a touchy subject for me. On 4.0.4 the Google camera trashed my phone. However, on 4.1.2 it works perfectly and may have a little better image quality than the stock camera - purely a subjective claim and not open to debate. Give it a try for yourself, don't just take my word for it.

    Root *** CAUTION with the UPDATE ***

    If you are rooted & have installed the custom recovery or did any of the other work for the incoming call reject fix you may want to hold off on taking the update. I have a partial brick, I don't know if I'm going to be able to fix it. If someone could post the APK for flashify so I can try to...

    Trouble with Chrome?

    Who all is using Chrome and how is it working for you? My phone hates Chrome. It locks up when I'm using it and sometimes reboots.

    Lock Screen Wierdness

    I received my warranty replacement phone from Asurion today. This phone is a warranty replacement for the phone I had to have replaced with insurance. BTW, Asurion is still shipping brand new, in the box with all the accessories (except a SIM) for replacements. Anyhow, I have some...

    Reboots and the extended battery

    I've had the Commando now for a few months and it has been a fairly trouble free device. A couple of weeks ago I bought the extended battery. Now I'm starting to have the random reboots that so many others have posted about. So, you folks having the random reboots, how many are using the big...

    Root Found a different (?) recovery

    I downloaded and installed Busybox and Root Tool Box. Using "reboot into recovery" in the reboot menu of Root Tool Box I rebooted into a different recovery than the one you get when you press the buttons while booting. Had all the normal recovery features except create/restore a backup. The...

    Some nifty mods to play with

    Here are a couple to mods to keep us entertained. None of these require root... These changes worked fine on my phone but very well may blow yours up, and I can't be held responsible for what you do to your phone. If you have root and want to make these a part of the system, as any legacy...

    French telephone service?

    I'm a Verizon customer travelling in France with a Droid Razr Maxx and I must say I am less than impressed with the coverage I am getting. Then again, my daughter is with me and she has a Pantech Jest II and her phone is receiving excellent service everywhere. So I wonder... Do you think...

    I will be traveling to a GSM country (Haiti) tomorrow and will not have access to electricity to charge my phone. Can anyone report on how well an ICS razr maxx does battery wise in GSM mode, no data, just voice and text. If nobody knows, I'll report back sometime next week...

    Casio Commando: The end is near

    Looks like the end is near for the Casio Commando. Verizon has it for free on their web page for new lines of service and renewals. Although I've moved on, it is a great phone and I miss it sometimes. Casio Commando

    Easter Egg?

    May not be news to anyone, and maybe no one cares cause few on here use it, but I did stumble onto an undocumented feature with the stock launcher. You can switch sides with the phone button and the snap out menu button. Press & hold the snap out button and slide to the other side. I have my...

    More build C771M100 fun

    How many of you had your alarm clock activate an hour late this morning? My alarm, set for 6:30 did not go off until 7:30. The clock displayed the correct time - I was up at the new 3:30 this morning and it showed the correct time then. Good thing I was getting off work this morning and not...

    Has any one taken the update and thoughts on PTT

    So has anyone taken the update yet, and if so, what do you think? I have some thoughts and questions about the PTT. I'm a radio person as part of my job and was a long time Nextel user. One of the things about two-way radio and Nextel (because Nextel is/was a trunked radio system with...

    Root The Casio Commando Custom Rom poll & thread

    Now that we have a usable recovery, it's time to start talking about a custom ROM. I am not a developer. I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I have some idea about how all this works but not enough to start doing anything such as this. So the question is: are you, the folks on...

    What not to do...

    I had a Droid with the Cyanogenmod for a while and really liked the dsp that is in that ROM. It really improves the playback audio quality. I set out to figure out how to put it on the Commando. What I ended up with is being stuck in a bootloop. The tip is to not do anything to the system...
