    Data Encryption (Warning)

    Do not use it. I just enabled it, set it to device as the method and it is asking me for a password that I do not know or set. Also, it continually crashes apps upon bootup. Looks like a reinstall is in order for me... ******* hell, guess I won't bother with that setting... P.S. this is on...

    Sudden LTE 4G Battery Life?

    Everyone, So I suddenly noticed a gigantic battery boost while connecting to 4G LTE on my Bionic. Still not as good as just leaving 4G off and staying connected using 3G, but it is much MUCH better than what it use to be. Anyone else seeing this?

    Found my battery hog!

    Ever since the over the air update I have noticed that the Android OS takes up significantly (40-50%) or more of the battery than the next highest process (even with the screen on for 3 hours). For fun and giggles I uninstalled my battery indicator (program that sat in the notification bar and...

    Root 5.9.901 - Root issues

    Hey guys, I did the path saver thing and managed to get my Bionic from 5.7.893 (or where ever it was), to 5.9.901. However the root was lost when I went from 5.5.893... And I cannot find an option that doesn't require me to drop back to 5.5.893. I was hoping to avoid any further...

    What would it take?

    So, I figured I would ask here since it is a much more computer related question, here it goes. What would it take, as in what new services would they need to implement, for Google to take over all of your online life? They have the social media (granted Google+ would need to grow, but the...

    Root Root 5.7.893 and NOT restore to 5.5.893?

    Hey guys, I know you can restore to factory and THEN go to 5.7.893, but I was curious if anyone has heard of someone rooting 5.7.893 without restoring? It isn't a giant deal, and not a big deal if I can't, just curious.

    Fixing the creak!!!

    If you have a creak in your battery door I found a fix. And it is DUCT TAPE!!! Or electrical tape. You can apply 3-4 one inch strips to the CENTER of the battery door, (maybe less, maybe more), and it SHOULD mostly go away, if there is still a slight give/creak, I put two long thin strips on...

    Very surprised at 3G

    So, I have found that I prefer to turn off 4G when I am at home due to my wifi, and apparently my apartment sits on the edge of 4G and 3G causing it to swap between the two most of the time. I am just STUNNED at the speed of 3g... I figured it would be as fast as my OG Droid, but I tell you...

    Battery Meter Question

    Query: The battery meter is in 10% increments. Here's the question (and any proof you have to backup your answer), when the phone says 80%, does that mean it is 89%-80%, or 80%-71%, or 85%-76%? Thanks, Veht
