    Swift Key NW in Quick Repy pop up?

    Hey team... I'm experiencing a problem with the SwiftKey secondary keyboard (long presses) when using the Quick Repy pop up window in Handcent and Chomp. I have to jump to alt keyboard... it's like having an old iphone. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks.

    Anyone experimenting with the i6?

    Was curious if anyone else was experimenting (using the 15 day trial period) with the new iphone 6? If so... your thoughts?

    mind of it's own...

    I see my S5 turn itself on and off and on and off... with regularity every day. So much that it's got to be a bit of a battery drain. It didn't always do this. I tried Light Flow for a while, but it didn't help. Perhaps this is wakelock... but most of those apps require root. It happens...

    Doubletwist update

    An update to the desktop version of Doubletwist resolves the syncing to external SD card in Kitkat issue. In voice of Yoda... "Pleased am I. About time it is".

    battery killing apps

    Battery life with new S5 was awesome UNTIL... installing New York Times app and activating Lookout. The two were each using 40+% of the battery. I removed both apps and battery life returns to awesomeness. I've seen a couple posts on other forums about Lookout possibly having a recent update...

    just starts ringing?

    The S5 has, twice now, just started ringing. No call coming in. It's not even the ringtone I've set. It's the VZW Airwaves ring. Nothing seems to stop it except restarting. There is no accompanying notification. I've checked (without activating) the various VZW apps and no obvoius...

    update camera b4 you need to use it!

    When you first use the camera after the firmware update... only then does it update the camera's firmware which takes a few minutes. So I recommend turning your camera on after doing the update and before you miss that great pic while waiting for the camera's firmware to update (like I did).

    stock apps ok... I think I'll keep it

    Still in trial period... but I must say... I'm surprisingly a fan of the stock email and messaging apps. I have heretofore been an avid user of Touchdown and Handecent (or Chomp). But I'm not seeing the functionality on those now compared to the stock apps. Can't preview attachments, for...

    Sunday Ticket anyone?

    Directv emailed subscribers of Sunday Ticket Max asking them to do a fresh download of Sunday Ticket and sign on this evening (during Thursday night preseason games) to help them work the bugs out before Week 1 next week. I was unable to sign on with my Tab2. Huge bummer. Anyone else try and...

    Help visual voice mail only over 3g/4g?

    Am I missing something... VVM only seems to sync with Verizon thru 3G or 4G. Rarely, if ever, when on wifi... at home or at work. Really?

    Help 5GHz?

    I got a new router for home that is dual band at 2.4GHz and 5GHz. My wife's GNex sees the 5GHz but my Razr does not. She has a setting that can select either or Auto. Is that an ICS feature? In my searching, a post suggested checking that setting on Wireless Advanced, but I've not found that...

    Help odd text messages

    I've been receiving text messages from "6250" with the message reading "VZWNMN: 1". WTH? I'm not having the other SMS issues described though wonder if this is the issue of someone luring us to make super expensive replies.

    Help exchange (corporate) sync problems?

    Anyone having difficulties on the razr with corporate sync? None of the contact photos are coming to the phone (exchange server sync). They work with touchdown... but I prefer to use the stock for contacts and calendar and use touchdown only for email. Suggestions welcome... thanks.

    Help 32g sd from bolt to razr ok?

    Any reason I can't simply take my 32g sd card from the HTC Bolt and put it in the Moto Razr? Or should I transfer data (music, pics, docs, etc) to computer and do a refresh on the sd card in the Razr and transere data back? Thanks.

    Blue Ant not compatible with GB

    The BlueAnt software - cool because it will voice read incoming SMS into the BlueAnt bluetooth headset - seems not to be compatible with GB. On two different Thunderbolts, it rendered the phone's mic NW. Once uninstalled and restarted... mic worked fine. I tried called their tech support, but...

    Help random switching of first and last names

    I sync contacts with work exchange server. I am finding that contact's first and last names are randomly being switched. It's not a huge amount, but I usually find two or so a week. This has been going on for a while now and I don't see any pattern to it other than I believe it is limited to...
