    Help WiFi is off and using a lot of battery.

    I have WiFi turned off and it shows as the primary source of battery usage. Much higher than even the screen on time. This has happened a couple of times and the first time I noticed because my phone started dying rapidly. Like 1-2% every ~10 minutes. Any idea why this could be happening. Any...

    No 4g service.

    For about the past week I have not had any 4G service anywhere I have been in my town on my Moto X, only 3G. This is the only article I could find that seemed like it might be the cause. Anyone else experience anything like this? Some Verizon users might be dropped down to 3G as carrier...

    Phones bought through VZW come with SIM card?

    This may be a really dumb question but if I buy a Moto X at retail price online from VZW will it come with a SIM card? My first 4G phone was the RAZR MAXX and I bought it directly from Motorola because VZW was out of stock at the time. It didn't come with a SIM card so I went to my local...

    VZW updates. Dev vs Reg edition.

    Will the developer edition of this phone get updates any faster than the regular version for Verizon? That would be pretty much the only reason for me to get the developer edition. Thanks

    Anyone come from razr M?

    I am curious if anyone has used both phones and can comment on how the battery life on the X compares to that of the M. Thanks

    Does the M still have reception issues?

    I really want to upgrade my MAXX (well not really an "upgrade") to this phone but dread the much documented reception issues this phone had or maybe is still having. Does anyone know if this was found to be a hardware or software issue? Have there been any updates to resolve the poor reception...

    Woke up to a dead MAXX (battery).

    Went to bead last night with the phone around 60% battery. That's about normal and I don't plug it in until the morning. I woke up and the phone wouldn't turn on. I plugged it in and it was completely dead. I charged it to about 50% before I had to go to work and the only notification was that...

    ? about "Keep Awake" bug in ICS.

    So apparently there is a bug in ICS that eats up battery life when you use the power button to shut the screen off instead of just letting it time out causing the OS to eat up battery life via "Keep Awake" under battery stats. So my question is if I use the "Screen Off" widget will I end up...

    Calls going straight to voice mail.

    I have never had this happen before with Verizon and I have been with them for several years. I don't get many phone calls (only a few a week) but 3 times on the last month I have had a call go straight to voice mail w/o my phone even ringing. In fact my phone doesn't even say I have a missed...

    Help Can't reply to just the sender.

    Sorry, I think I saw something about this several weeks ago but now I can't find it. Anyway when I get a text from someone that has sent it to multiple people when I hit reply the phone automatically replies to all. I can't figure how to reply to just the person that originally sent the text...

    Bought phone from Motorola, no sim card.

    I guess I didn't really think about the fact that I needed a sim card for a 4G phone when I decided to order the MAXX directly from Motorola. So now what? Do I just go to any Verizon retailer and tell them I need a SIM card? Any idea how much more this is going to cost me? Thanks

    Anyone ordered directly from Motorola?

    Not sure if this is the right place but I am curious if anyone has ordered a phone directly from the Motorola website? I am thinking of getting the RAZR MAXX and just paying full retail instead of extending my contract with Verizon. The price is the same through Verizon but tax adds ~$40 vs...

    I waited too long.

    Now I am bummed out. I almost ordered online last night but waited so I could call and get confirmation that I am grandfathered into my unlimited data plan as well as the current data discount promotion I am on. I came home for lunch to hop online and order this phone as my DINC is starting to...

    Trouble with AOSP roms = Trouble with this phone?

    Okay, I have a bit of a different type of concern with this phone than probably anyone else. For reasons I have yet to figure out I have trouble with receiving emails with AOSP roms (I have tried MIUI, CM7, and Buggless Beast). The problem is that with my MSN account the phone will continually...

    Root How to apply theme to CM7.

    I want to try the CM7 ROM after trying out several sense based ROMs. I really like the look of this theme I found on the XDA forums but I am a little uncertain on how to go about installing it and the clock and the icon pack. Can anyone offer some assistance? I don't think it is done through...

    Root Problem upgrading ClockworkMod.

    I dowloaded ROM Manager from the market and used the Flash ClockworkMod Recovery option to upgrade to the latest verion of CWM. From the ROM Manager application it says the current verion is 3.0.0.8 but when I reboot into recovery the phone still says v2.5.1.2. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks

    Latest news on Galaxy S2?

    Last I heard was the false alarm that it was to be released on Verizon this month but that turned out to be the new tablet. Anyone heard anything more recent on a possible release date for the Galaxy S2 on Verizon or if it is even coming to Verizon? Thanks

    Root Help with MIUI rom and email notifications.

    Hopefully there is someone familiar with this ROM that can help me with this problem I am having. My Gmail account seems fine but with my MSN/HOTMAIL account I am having a bit of an issue. For some reason my phone keeps downloading old emails and sending me notifications. I have never had this...

    Turning off background data/auto-sync.

    First I am not even sure if this is the right place to post. Second, trying to search for the answer just got me more confused. My question is pretty simple/dumb. Does turning off background data effect how often the phone searches for new SMS/MMS and emails? I have my gmail account set up but I...

    Root Get the stock HTC ringtones back?

    I just flashed one of the newer Uber Kingdom ROM's and it doesn't have all of the stock HTC ringtones that the last one had on it which were the same as what was on Sense 2.0 with Froyo. Is there a way to get these back? I don't remember the name of the ringtone but it's the same one I had been...

    Root Change or turn off sound in Sense 3.0 weather.

    Not sure if this is the right place to ask but the ROM I just installed has Sense 3.0 and I am curious if there is a way to change or turn off the sound associated with the weather widget/app?

    Help Silent mode killing battery?

    I have my phone set up to vibrate as well as ring on calls/texts and the battery life has always seemed normal. For the last week or so there have been a couple of days when I have had to have my phone in silent mode (vibrate only) the majority of the day. With no more texts or calls than on any...

    More customization over notifications?

    One thing I really miss about my BlackBerry is the way I could have a different notification sound for emails vs. text messages. Also I could set different numbers and lengths of vibrations for each type of notification. Is there any apps that would allow more control over these settings? I have...

    3g on a 4g phone?

    4g hasn't made it to my city yet so if I get a 4g capable phone will I still get 3g on it? It seems like I would not because it is a different network/signal right? So I would just need to wait for 4g to be available before getting a new phone that is made to work with LTE? Thanks
