    Help Recovering contacts from a broken phone?

    My Droid Razr M suffered a damaging fall a couple weeks ago. The screen is shatterd, the back shell piece is slightly warped and there are gaps where the front and back shell pieces would normally fit together. Remarkably, the phone itself appears to still be "alive". The screen doesn't...

    Screen auto-brightness responds more slowly after KitKat

    Pre-KitKat, my screen would auto-brighten or dim almost instantly. Now, it adjusts slowly. Verrrryyy slllooooowwwwly. Anyone else notice this? It's only slightly annoying when it needs to adjust from bright to dim. But when it needs to brighten up a lot, for example if the display was...

    Weather icon inside the Circles widget does not update

    Yeah, I know this is kind of trivial, but IMO 90% of the niceties we enjoy with smart phones are trivial fluff. Prior to the ruination of my phone (KitKat) the weather icon in the Circles widget would update when I awoke the phone (press the power button). Now it only updates if I actually...

    How to re-awaken the screen when it blanks/shuts during a call?

    My screen blanks/sleeps/shuts off after about a minute during a call. How do I re-awaken the screen if, for example, I want to "press 7 to delete this message"? Tapping the screen doesn't work, unsurprisingly, because the screen is slept. Tapping the volume rocker does not work. Tapping the...

    Is KitKat intentionally "crippled"?

    The more crap I read about KitKat, and frustration I experience with my phone not working as well as it did previously, I'm beginning to wonder. Is it possible the OS is intentionally crippled by device makers and/or service carriers to motivate customers to buy new devices and/or renew...

    vertical alphabet in Contacts (People) list

    Another thing lost with the new Andriod version. The Contacts list used to have a vertical alphabet along the right edge of the screen. You could tap any letter and the list scrolled to the first entry starting with that letter. Very useful. It's gone. Google if you read forums like this...

    How to change the txt message background color?

    Background color in txt'ing was originally black. It got swtiched to white with the new OS (KitKat I assume). Can I get it back to black? Edit: Another question. I also see the carriage return button is replaced with a shortcut to an emoticons menu. Can I get back the CR button? Believe it...
