    Help Stop charging at 100%?

    I don't know if this has been addressed before but here we go. I usually put my Turbo on charge when I go to bed and pull it off charge when I get up. I have noticed that if I grab a cup of coffee and check a few emails and then put the phone back on charge until it reaches 100% and unplug it...

    Apps automatically updating?

    Is there a way to keep apps from automatically updating? Seems like this would take a lot of juice if you have a lot of apps. I know you can turn off sync but this stops everything. I just want to stop the apps from updating automatically. I can update the manually when I want.

    Tiny dot in camera lens?

    I have the 64G Turbo and I noticed when I take a photo with a dark background there is a tiny white dot or speck in the lower left side of the picture. The speck does not appear in light colored photos. The dot is about 1/3 the size of a pin head. I have tried different camera apps; same thing...

    32G or 64G?

    I have had the ballistic nylon 32G Turbo for a week now and really love the phone. Now that I have used it I wonder if I should exchange it for the 64G. With the larger file sizes for the photos and videos I wonder if they will eat up the 32G pretty fast. Are you getting the 32G or 64G and why...

    Why can't I delete files on my Bionic?

    I rip audio book files to MP3 so I can listen them on my phone. When I am finished with a book I delete the files. However, even after I delete some of the files, they show up on the My Music player. I cannot figure out where the files are. I have gone through all the folders on both the SD...

    GSam Battery Monitor Question

    I have been using this app for a while and so far I like it for all the info it gives. When you open the app there is a picture of a battery at the top with info in it. The middle value on my phone is "Left - Last 6m: 2:59". What does that mean? For the life of me I can't figure out what this...

    I am phone-challenged compared to a lot of you on the board. Since the OTA for ICS I want to do a FDR to rid some of the little quirks that have popped up on my Bionic. If this is covered elsewhere please direct me to it. Please walk me through the steps to back up my phone (apps...

    Bionic won't charge on lapdock with ICS

    I have two lapdocks that I got during the clearance; one for the Bionic and the Lapdock 100. Both worked very well on GB and charged the phone while using the lapdock, plugged in or not. Now with ICS I found that the phone does not charge on either lapdock unless the lapdock is plugged into...

    Carribean Cruise with Bionic tips

    Going on a cruise in a couple of days and need any advice on the use of my phone. I know roaming charges on the islands are expensive but texting is not that bad. The ship is another thing with their Wifi charges. If I disable the data on my phone will I have any random charges if I leave it on...

    Bionic and roaming?

    Shortly I am going on a cruise to St. Thomas, St. Maarten, and Bahamas. Since I have never been out of the country with a cell what can I expect in roaming charges? In what ways can I use my phone (gps, text, data, calls, etc.) without racking up a huge bill? If there are roaming charges, what...

    Help Icons disappearing with Launcher Pro?

    I switched from the stock launcher to Launcher Pro because I had it on a previous phone and liked it. I created folders to put all my apps in but now when I pull up the folders most of the icons are replaced with blue place holder icons. Where did all the icons go? I have rebooted, pulled...

    Data drops...a fix for me

    Some of you may have already done this but it was new to me. In hopes of saving battery power I had gone into settings-battery and data manager-battery mode and checked the maximum battery saver. Not making the connection, I had data drops all the time while streaming anything. I would wake...

    Help Accessing internal storage from computer?

    First of all, yes I am using the data USB that came with the phone. I have previously been able to access the internal and SD card files from my computer with the USB link. Normally both directories would pop up when I connect to the computer. Now for some reason I can no longer access the...

    Battery charging observation

    I, like most everyone else, charge my phone over night. While I previously had a different smart phone I read that people think that if you leave your phone on a charger it will stay topped up. Not so. Once the phone is fully charged the charger stops charging the battery. If the phone is on...

    Maybe a great deal on batteries?

    I may have found a great deal on Bionic batteries on Amazon. Yesterday I ordered two standard batteries with a charger for $25 and free shipping. I opted for the standard batteries instead of the extended battery because I did not want to add bulk to the phone. Now I can continue to use my...

    Help OK, let's get real with battery life

    I have had my Bionic for about a week now and undecided about turning it in for a Razr. I love the phone but unsure about the battery life. Not sure if it will get any better with Razr either. Battery reports for the Bionic have been across the spectrum but everyone uses their phone differently...

    Help Data drops only in 3G??

    I have had my Bionic for about a week now and overall I am very pleased with it. I initially was running only on 3G to conserve battery and I was getting data drops like crazy. So just for kicks I switched over to 4G and have little or no data drops and the phone is now really fast. I would have...
