    Screen Burn In

    I don't know if anyone else has seen this already, but I'm starting to see burn in from the status bar already. I've had the Maxx since October and am just starting to see burn in. It wasn't noticeable on my GS3 until after a year of use. I'm a bit worried that I'm starting to see this so soon...

    Help Touchless Cntrol/ Google Now issue

    Just a question, but has anyone had issues with their Maxx doing searches without speaking the launch phrase? During conversations or with the TV on, without uttering "OK Google Now", I'll hear a beep and when I pick up my phone, Google Now is active and wanting me to repeat my command. I...

    Help Can't program voice for Touchless Controls

    My Made showed up today and I've ran into a problem. When I go to program the phrase "OK Google Now" for my voice, the record screen shows for a split second and then informs me that it didn't catch that. I've even tried talking as I press the record button, bit no difference. I've tried holding...

    Droid Maxx or Moto X

    So I've been trying to decide between the Maxx and the X. I'm coming from an S3 having issues with burn in, battery life declining, and general quirks (dialing by itself, locking up, homescreens rotating on their own, etc). I'll be buying off contract to keep my unlimited data and my promo...

    Anyone see this review on AndroidPolice?

    I've been looking for any reviews I can find on the Incredible 4G, tech blog or user review. This one came in today and it's a bit disheartening. The reviewer literally eviscerated the phone. I don't know if he's just having a bad day or if it's really that bad. See for yourself, it's definitely...

    Help Problems moving apps 2 sd card

    For the last month or so, when I go to move an app to the sd card I see some really odd behavior. At the screen for the app (like under settings>applications>downloaded>Jedi Light Saber for example) the fields Total, Application, Data, & Cache will say "Computing..." for a bit, then look like...

    For those who signed up for the Data Discount promo last fall

    Last year around November/December I signed up for a promo they were offering for data plans. Basically (if on a family share plan) you had to put all lines on a $29.99 data plan, then Verizon issued a $20 credit for each of those lines. So basically every line on the plan got unlimited data for...

    I was having the same issue with gps as some have which is when I was home & would open up Maps it showed me about 200 miles away from my actual location. When I was away from home it was fine. I worked with Verizon tier 2 techs & we went so far as doing a factory reset. When I went to open Maps...

    Gesture Search is a battery hog when set for flip to open

    Gesture Search (by Google) is a battery hog. My Seidio 1750 battery (a replacement and brand new) was draining a lot quicker than the one it was exchanged for, so after having it on for most of the day I decided to see what was causing the drain. Gesture Search used the most battery out of...

    DO NOT use EVRC B with network extender

    I had been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my Incredible wouldn't work with the network extender I recently bought. Hightech answered and solved my problem. When on EVRC B, I saw better signal and could receive calls, but could not make calls. When talking with VZW tech support I...

    Help My Incredible & network extender don't play nice

    I received the 2 network extenders I ordered today, hooked them up, waited for the gps to find itself, and then nothing. Talked with tech support and they said you needed at least 300kb up & down (my dsl was 810 down & 216 up). So I talked to my isp, and for $10 raised my speeds to around 1400kb...
