    Lagginess + calls cutting in & out rapidly from earpiece to speaker

    Having all sorts of issues with the phone. At first screen presses weren't making that "tick" noise that they should have been, just vibrating. I found out it had something to do with headphone detection, so I downloaded an app to disable that and it fixed it. Now sometimes the phone lags...

    Strangely good battery life (JB 4.1.1)?

    I just got this phone maybe a week ago and I was dreading the reputation for poor battery life. I turned off NFC (which I never use anyway) and keep GPS toggled off most of the time (even though I don't think it turns on unless an app needs to use it). I adjust brightness depending on light...

    Superuser force closing - almost completely stumped.

    Hi. Due to GPS not working on CM7, and missing Sense ;), I decided to flash Gingeritis 1.3 (Sense 2.1). I like the ROM, but I'm having a LOT of technical issues. Most of the issues I can fix or work around, except for one... Superuser is going haywire. I tried flashing both the older...

    Does custom ROM like CM7 get rid of typical browser lag?

    I'm stuck between the TBolt (1 cent) and the Droid Bionic (200 dollars). I don't like the Bionic's display, and it has an audio output issue, so I'm already leaning towards the TBolt, but the Bionic has one supposedly huge advantage: dual-core CPU. My impression is that the dual-core CPU...

    Is the Bionic worth 200 dollars (+ 2 yr contract)?

    I went to the Verizon store today and I must have played with the LTE phones for over an hour. I liked the Bionic, Revolution and TBolt. But here's the thing... in the admittedly relatively short time I played with these phones, I didn't really like the Bionic much more than the Revolution or...
