    ICS: Password Required to Turn On Screen

    My company requires me to have a screen lock password that I only had to enter if I exceeded the timeout value I had set to 20 minutes. With ICS I have to enter my password every time I turn the screen off, which is frequently just to save battery power and when I put it in my pocket for a few...

    Improve battery life by using only one Core

    Some Background Although the RAZR TI OMAP 4430 is a dual core SMP most of the time a single CPU is adequate to provide good performance. The clock speed dynamically varies between 300 MHz and 1.2GHz based upon system load. At rest typically 300 MHz is fine but will quickly ramp up to 1.2 GHz...

    Does kevlar fiber provide any benefit?

    I have seen many posts saying that the kevlar fiber back is just a marketing ploy and serves no useful value. Kevlar is very scratch resistant and used in may products from tires to body armor to provide high strength and low weight. It is kinda like gorilla glass for the back of the RAZR and...

    Occasionally I use my Verizon WiFi Mobile Hotspot feature at work where I have a strong LTE signal. Today I used it for about 4 hours while plugged into my laptop USB2 power source. It was not used heavily, moderate browsing and email mostly on my laptop and no video streaming. Starting from...

    Help Menu/Home/Back/Search button backlights have a mind of their own

    The light for these soft buttons turn off and on at will it seems for me with both of our RAZR's. I turned off Automatic brightness which someone in another post said was causing this problem but that didn't change anything. It is quite annoying when the light turns off and I have to guess where...

    Why I Prefer Internal Storage instead of micrSD card

    Both internal storage and microSD cards use flash memory but access to internal storage is much faster than a microSD card. MicroSD cards are rated at up to 10 MB/s write speed for the fastest ones, with my DX containing a class 4 card that has a 4 MB/s write speed. Internal storage used with...

    Why Not 1.5 GHz for OMAP4460?

    The OMAP4460 was designed to run at up to 1.5GHz but they decided to run it at 1.2GHz. This was one of the key differences between the OMAP4460 and the OMAP4430, in addition to running the graphics processor at a higher speed and optimized design of the Cortex A9 to reduce power consumption...
