    Disable lock screen?

    That's how I had it before the 4.4.2 update and I didn't have any problems, so I think we're ok.

    Disable lock screen?

    Thanks for the Sparky suggestion - I turned on the option to just wave my hand over the screen, which makes things a tad less painful.

    Disable lock screen?

    I already have "Screen lock" set to None, and "Bypass lock screen on wake" checked, in the Security section of Settings. Any suggestions for custom launchers? I haven't dealt with those before.

    Disable lock screen?

    Ok, I thought I would get used to having to "Pull up to unlock" after the upgrade to 4.4.2, but I still find it annoying lo after these several weeks. Is there any way this can be disabled? Thanks much!

    Battery degradation - what are you doing?

    It's been almost a year and a half since I first got my DNA, and of course battery life is waning. What are people doing about this? Portable external chargers? (Any favorites?) Hacking into the phone to replace the battery? Something else? Any great suggestions for better battery life are...

    Notification sound but nothing else

    About a week ago(?), my Droid DNA (latest fw) started "randomly" playing the Notification Sound I have set for it. Nothing else displays on the screen - no other indication of what is happening. Rebooting doesn't solve the problem. I am on vacation, out of state right now, but I'm not roaming or...

    DNA Firmware Update?

    A Factory Reset should never be necessary for updating your firmware. If it is, there are other bigger problems.

    Can my DNA be wiped remotely through Exchange?

    So I talked to my manager, who is in the IT group but is not the Supreme Exalted IT Overlord. He says the wiping/control is enabled on a per-account basis (at least at my company), and mine does not have that, but others do. He says that if that control ever gets enabled for my account, I will...

    Can my DNA be wiped remotely through Exchange?

    I recently set up my work email on my (personal) DNA. When I set it up, I did not see the warning message that I have seen on other Android devices when setting up Exchange accounts, saying basically "Your Exchange admin now has the ability to remotely wipe your phone." So does that ability...

    Amazon Appstore repeatedly crashing

    [Not sure if this is the best forum - pls let me know if there is a better one!] Ever since I got my HTC Droid DNA, Amazon Appstore has never worked well. It crashes most of the time I try to start it. Clearing all data does not help. I try to start it 5 times, then on the 6th time it works...

    "Duplicate provider authority" error with WeatherBug

    WeatherBug updated the app today - I was able to install it and all is working again for me. Hope it does the same for others here.

    "Duplicate provider authority" error with WeatherBug

    I have a Droid X running Android 2.3.4. I have had WeatherBug (free version) installed for a long time now. Yesterday, there was an update in Google Play. I attempted to upgrade and got a "Duplicate provider authority." error. I decided to completely uninstall WB and start from scratch, but I...

    Cannot read encrypted email even with my certs installed

    Unfortunately, APG can't handle S/MIME certs. I found and downloaded X509Tools, and it seems to get the job done, albeit a bit clunkily. (When I installed my certs before, apparently they really didn't - X509Tools showed no installed private keys, and when I installed them via X509Tools, then...

    Cannot read encrypted email even with my certs installed

    Looking at the bundled email software, there doesn't even appear to be a place to attach one's public key. So the infrastructure looks pretty bleak - unless I'm missing something?

    Cannot read encrypted email even with my certs installed

    Just got my Droid X, and am getting it configured. I have an S/MIME-encrypted email in my inbox, and I have installed my private key in the Credential Storage, along with the email sender's public key. When I attempt to read the email, there only appears an attachment with the details...
