    Volume rocker issue when screen is off

    Just started experiencing something new and unwanted. Typically when the screen is off the volume rocker becomes unusable, nothing will happen. Well recently I noticed it will change the volume. It’ll put it to silent, vibrate and/or full ringtone. This is very very troublesome especially when...

    Help Ringtone and notifications all in one control

    Hate having to adjust them separately. I'd like to control them both at the same time by using the volume rocker. I've tried a few apps but nothing works the way I described. The Volume sync app does not work. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

    Is Verizon targeting the remaining unlimited plans?...

    Help Wifi switching back to 4G when phone is asleep

    Verizon: I've read several posts about the *#0011# trick for wifi power saver mode. I was under the impression that once this was turned off the wifi would stay on. Example: when I get home I turn wifi on. I'll set my phone down and check it about 20-30 minutes later and notice that 4G has...

    Under task management (hold down the home button); RAM it has said as much as 1.36gb/1.62gb. What happens or what can I expect when I start seeing the first number come closer to the total space of 1.62gb? Thanks

    Volume issues when using the rocker

    The rocker seems to think I have media playing. Everytime I use it the volume of the media gets raised or lowered and not the phones volume and notifications. I have tried a reset and battery pull but this did not fix it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

There are two things that bug me the most with smartphones, freeze ups / reboots and battery life. I was plagued with freeze ups with my droid incredible and now they seem to have...

    Help Power button doesn't click anymore..

    Seems to have lost almost all of its clicking ability. Still works but I'm afraid not for long. I'm looking to do one of the two options. 1. I got the phone in May 28th (same day the phone came out, actually a day before). If I'm not mistaken the phone would still be under warranty. If I'm...
