    Does Netflix still work after its most recent update?

    Netflix is prompting me to update the app, but there have been comments about it saying the update breaks the app. Has anyone used Netflix on the DX before and after the most recent update without playback problems? Thank you, Matt

    Root Official Mobile Hotspots App won't launch alter rooting.

    I rooted a Charge, using Odin, a few weeks ago, and the owner added an official tethering plan a couple days ago. When we try to launch the Mobile Hotspot App the phone just goes to the home screen. Has anyone else observed this? Is there a solution? I'm going to try Wireless Tether for Root...

    Help Lock screen missing, any button wakes phone. No idea why.

    DX 2.2 About three weeks ago, the PowerAmp lock screen widget began mysteriously to unlock to the Blur lock screen. Before then, touching its unlock icon had taken me directly to the home screen. I confirmed that Direct Unlock was enabled by unchecking and rechecking it in the PowerAmp...

    Root From stock FroYo to .595

    I used z4 to permroot my DX in January and have done little else since. I'd like to switch to Gingerbread from stock FroYo for obvious reasons, like performance and Netflix. Can I do this without losing the root enhancements I've been enjoying like overclocking with Milestone Overclock and other...

    Root Bloat Freezer. Have you tried it?

    It's a dollar right now, and prevents selected apps from launching and showing up in the app drawer. Since there is plenty of disk space, I think this is a great alternative to removing bloatware. note: when I froze Voice Commands, it got stuck in a FC loop and I had to do a battery pull. It...

    Has anyone used SnapTax by Turbo Tax?

    It looks nice, you take a picture of your W2 and it does most of the rest, but what about the hard copy the IRS still demands? Does the program generate a printable copy? Is a paper copy still necessary when filing this way? Thanks, Matt

    Help Missing contacts in contact list.

    I searched and couldn't find any threads about this. Some contacts, Dad, for example, don't appear in my contact list. I can find the missing ones in the call log, and even view their contact cards, but they are not in the contact list. Some starred contacts are also missing when I try to make a...

    Verizon to throttle the top five percent of data users.

    They say nothing about restricting the amount, just the speed. I sure hope they're working to update their network to accommodate all their customers. Clearly, Verizon under engineered their current system -- otherwise they wouldn't have to reduce the value of their product like this. Who...

    Why no built in FM transmitter?

    I've never heard of an mp3 player with one. Can anybody think of a reason not to give devices this ability? I know it would drain power, but so what? It seems that just about every single person who owns a portable music player would benefit from having this functionality. Matt

    Help Anyone know how to reduce the minimum brightness?

    Zero percent is about four times brighter than I would expect anyone could comfortably use when it's dark. Thanks. Matt

    Help Move Maps 3.4 from rooted Eris to DX

    is there a way to do that? Every Maps update since 3.4 has been just awful in my opinion. They broke a lot of things that didn't need to be fixed. Thank you, Matt

    Root USB Host Mode? Has anyone figured this out yet?

    I searched but only found one thread with a link to a discussion about crafting a custom cable for the Motorola Droid. That didn't really help me any. I read about the Nexus 1 having been given this capability by an advanced user. Any of our advanced Eris users have similar success? Matt

    Root I'd like WiFi tethering and to overclock only. Recommendations?

    My phone has the 2.1 OTA and no other modifications. Does anybody here know a simple way to get those two things? Also, I'm giving this to my sixty year old father in November and should be sure I can undo anything so it works right for him. Thank you, Matt

    HDMI monitor out. Am I really the only one who wants this?

    By all rights, this phone should someday be able to run Hulu videos, and maybe even Netflix. Did I somehow miss a definitive declaration by Motorola spelling out to us that this obvious, desirable functionality (monitor out) is impossible with this handset? Perhaps forbade by Verizon?

    Warranty replacement handset will not install on Windows

    I searched this forum for an hour and couldn't find an answer. I've had my like new warranty replacement phone for two days and it seems to be perfect in every way. No dead pixels, even. The OTA went on as soon as I activated it. I have the 50% bug, of course. My first phone easily and...

    DON'T do this... I just wrecked my phone.

    I used compressed air to clean my phone this morning and I wrecked the microphone by directing the air stream into the usb port. Not that I think there is, other than me, a single person on the planet stupid enough to do that. Matt

    Let's get ready for 2.1!!

    Does anyone else think a sticky thread with tips, etc for preparing for the OTA update is in order? Instructions for backing up contacts, applications, themes, etc... I assume the update will have much the same effect on my data as discharging a defibrillater (sp?) with the phone...

    Inexplicably depleted battery...

    I awoke to the sound of my other phone urgently beeping at me this morning. I should have already been awake, but my Eris was uncharacteristicly silent. It didn't really matter that it had let me down, because it's a toy and I don't trust it with anything important. The reason it had...

    Changing home screen icons... may we?

    Has anybody figured out how to change icons? For example, I have a web shortcut on my home screen for Google and the default icon for it is a real eyesore. Thanks, if anyone can help! Matt
