    Awesome battery with WiFi only

    Just wanted to post this as a general piece of data. I was recently outside of the country, so I only used my rezound on wifi. Here are my results: Please note, the first 20% of battery was my drive to the airport. I disabled juice defender when I got on the plane. This makes a very strong...

    Smells like Microsoft!

    I'm sure there are others out there that share the same opinion: It's completely absurd that Motorola and Verizon are advertising as a "feature" what should have been standard from the beginning. Releasing the same phone with a larger battery is just silly. We all know it should have...

    Root Limit tether speed?

    Searched for a setting to do this but haven't seen any. Is it possible to set a limit for upload/download speeds while tethering (over wifi preferably)? I want to watch netflix without having the netflix app (on my iPad) kick it up to HD. Otherwise my data use is gonna get crazy.

    Why is Eris the black sheep?

    Saw a friend today who had a Droid. She loved the phone, except for how "clunky" it is. Showed her my Eris and now she returned her Droid for one. She didn't even know the Eris existed. This got me to thinking; Why is the Eris the black sheep of the Verzion android family? What it so...

    Stupid but fun trick

    If you lock the phone by pressing end, the screen goes blank instantly. If you press the end button to bring up the lock screen (do not unlock), and then QUICKLY double click the end button, the screen fades in and out. Phone is still locked, so no real use. Discovered this in a meeting...

    Randomly Restarting Eris

    My Eris has been restarting itself randomly. It started a few days after I got it and has been going on for a about 10 days now, maybe once or twice a day. Worst part of this is the start up sound it plays (which apparently can't be turned off?) So when I'm in a meeting my phone starts making...
