    Help Reboots and cache clearing

    Coming from 4 years of Motorola (X and Max HD) those of us who frequent these forums all knew how which keys to press in sequence or together to get to the recovery menus. This became more important when the battery could not be "pulled". Now that I am G3 owner I am curious if LG has a similar...

    Considering a Nexus 7

    I would like to get a tablet for use in my vehicle. The primary usage would be Pandora to replace XM and for use as a GPS. I have the Verizon share plan so I can either hot spot it off my phone or get a wireless model for $10 a month added to my account. I am not worried about data usage at this...

    Texting a video file

    I seem to be having some problem with texting video files on Verizon. I though I had read on their site that 500KB was the size limit but the rep last night said it was 15 seconds in length with no size limit. Does anyone really know? My file was 23 seconds recorded in MMS mode and 328 KB...

    NFC after Jelly Bean

    I tried to send and receive a picture using S Beam (the Bump) between the M and my son's SG3 since the JB update today. I was able to send one fine but I couldn't receive one. I keep getting a Play Store Screen that said it couldn't find the item. Any ideas? GS

    NFC and a settings question

    What can we do with the NFC application. I tried a picture last night with my wife's M but nothing happened. My son says he does it with his S3. Is this an Android function or a Manufactures/Carrier function? Also in Setting>data usage>more there is a setting for WIFI direct. What is that? I...

    Two years ago a slew of us got the DX on 2 year contracts and it seems the migration to the new HD is minimal at best. What gves? Did they all go to the SG3? Iphone?

    Got the Max HD on launch day

    After getting the DX two years ago for $49 it was hard to let go of $249 for a new phone but spread over two years I guess not too bad considering how much better the phones are from then till now. I read the review on Engadget this morning and I tend to agree that it may be just a bit too big...

    Are battery pulls obsolete?

    Time to upgrade the Drooid X. I like the looks of the Razr Maxx and the new HD sounds like what I would like. I wonder about not being able to access the battery. It seems that "battery pulls" were the recommended first aid for phones in trouble. Now what do you do? Just reboot? Or do they just...

    Smart Phone Mobile Hotspot Free in new plan?

    The PDF announcement seems to say that you can use your phone's mobile hotspot application for no charge now which is a $30 difference to the existing plan. If that is true that could be a nice savings for those of us with a WIFI only tablet. Could buy some additional data with that. Is that...

    Help Notification sounds. Is there an easy turn off?

    A text message or e-mail arrives, the notification alarm starts and I have to pull the phone out of the holder, press home to wake up the phone, press menu, then notifications to stop it. That seems like a lot of steps. Is there a setting I am missing to press the volume button or power button...

    Help Gmail password hardcoded in Droids?

    For a few real and a few imagined problems yesterday I went on-line and changed my gmail password. Then I tried to find on my X where to update the new password. After looking in what I thought was everywhere I called tech support and they said it was hard coded. I would need to "wipe" the phone...

    Insurance on X. Worth it? Yes, no, opinions...

    Seems like a hefty charge when coupled with the $89 deductable. I have another 3 weeks to decide but want some input. I took my previous phone for a swim (which it survived) but generally am responsible. What do you think? GS
