    Looking for a basic smartphone, battery life is #1 priority

    I've had an HTC Droid Incredible for the past 3 years, which I love, but the screen is dead in several spots and web browsing load times have gotten much slower (as browsers get more complex I guess?). And after several dozen attempts, it was not possible to install the Gingerbread upgrade. So...

    Is there an extended battery for the Lucid2?

    I'm considering buying this phone, but I'd like to know if there's an extended battery available. According to LG Lucid 2 | Digital Trends Reviews, there is, but I can't find it anywhere on the net. Anyone know?

    Help My DInc touchscreen is dying... what are my options?

    I got my DInc in June of 2010. Love it. Several months ago, part of the touchscreen failed, but it was still possible to use. A couple weeks ago, another section failed, and now it's getting a bit tricky to use. I've been eligible for my "new-every-2" for quite a while now, but I really...

    Help How to disable "DROID" on phone startup?

    So my Incredible randomly rebooted a few days ago at about 3 in the morning. I keep it on my nightstand since I use it as my alarm. I damn near had a heart attack when I woke up to hear it screaming "DROIDDDD" at me as it started up again. It's just so frickin' LOUD. Is there a way to...

    Help How to properly disconnect Incredible from PC?

    I'm wondering what's the safest way to disconnect the Incredible from my PC when it's connected as a disk drive. I've heard about SD cards getting corrupted if not removed properly. When I'm ready to disconnect it, should I change the USB connection to "charge only" on the phone? Should I go...

    HopStop app just released...

    And personally, I hate it. Less functionality than their mobile website, and much slower. I have an account on the website that I log into that has addresses saved (and that I have named), and apparently you can't log into your account through the app to access these. I don't get it. I know...

    3G vs wifi: battery life?

    When I'm in my apartment, I'm wondering if I should turn off 3G and just keep my phone connected to my wifi connection all the time. Would this save some battery life? My thinking is that it would cause less strain on the phone and battery to connect to my wireless router which is never more...

    Help How to backup Calendar?

    I'm using the Calendar app that came with the phone. I just figured out how to backup new events to Gmail- when you create a new event, choose "Gmail" instead of "PC Sync." Unfortunately, "PC Sync" was the default selection for every event I've ever created up until now. I can't figure out...

    Accessories Thoughts on the TV out?

    I wanted to know from people who have this whether it's worth getting, what the quality is, etc. Also, I'm wondering if it's really all that useful. The only uses I can think of are: 1) using it to show people photos/videos you've taken on your phone, on your TV (doubt I'd ever use it for...

    Help Help understanding phone storage, FiOS on Demand, best SD card?

    1) When I go into Settings->SD & phone storage, it lists 3 things: SD card, internal phone storage, and phone memory. I understand what the SD card is of course, but what is the difference between "internal phone storage" and "phone memory"? I have 6.60GB total space for internal, and 6.25GB...
