    88 hours on a single charge

    Last week I upgraded from my Thunderbolt to the Maxx HD. Let me first say that so far I am really loving this phone. Especially the battery. I have been off work this week and spent the last 4 days painting the exterior of my house. My phone was fully charged when I started and has had VERY...

    Few more days and my Tbolt is retired

    Well, my Tbolt days are numbered. I've had it since launch and its now entering its final few days of service. Ordered the Razr Maxx HD. Really tough decision with some of the upcoming releases but the battery life on the new Maxx HD was reason enough to get it. Just don't have the time nowadays...

    4G & 3G signal strength - bars icon

    I always see people referencing their 4G or 3G connection as "full" or "1 bar", "2 Bars", "3 Bars", etc. I've always thought that the Signal Strength Bars are for voice signal and has nothing to do with Data Signal. For data signal you either have it or you don't, 4G, 3G, 1X. There is no...

    Anyone have security issues with Yahoo! Mail app?

    I'm using the Yahoo Mail app on my Thunderbolt (in addition to my gmail app). Today, for the first time in over 10 years of having my Yahoo email, my account was hacked and spam was sent to my contacts using my email address. Luckily no virus was attached, it was just some online pharmaceutical...

    External Battery Charger = More Juice?

    I've been offering my experience with the HTC Express 1700 batteries on another thread and noticed that I get longer battery life when charging the batteries using the external wall charger compared to charging the battery while in the bolt. I guess this makes sense considering bump charging is...

    I've been using Brillianize from Kleenmaster for well over 10 years now. It's some amazing stuff. It's an Anti-Static cleaner & polish for Plastics, Glass and all hard shiny surfaces.
