    Stock vs 3rd Party Launcher

    This isn't a definitive answer, but I've only seen the ability to customize the pull down settings in custom ROMs. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    WiFi and Data Question

    Did you authenticate via a browser? I've authenticated on several hotel Wi-Fi connections. Each time the Wi-Fi signal is greyed out until I authenticate and then it turns blue. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    FYI Sale on TUDIA Ultra Slim TPU Case

    Already have the bumper and am OK with it, but for $7.48 I'll give it a go. I'm addicted to cases. Have seven for my s3. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    To screen protect or not

    Don't use them. Every time I've tried them, be it on a phone or tablet, I've removed them after a day or two. I just find them annoying as all get-out. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    Quick Tip: How I extended my battery life.

    Let's face it. The Maxx crowd is like a bunch of Mr. Atlas body builders that still want bigger muscles. We've got the baddest arse battery life but we still want more, More, MORE! :-) Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    OK Google Now issues

    Regarding #4, you can retrain with a different phrase, though it only accepts certain phrases. You might try to get away with. "Hey, Google phone!" That might be close enough phonetically to "OK Google Now" that it would accept it. Also, try "Play xxxx" for music to play in Google Play. I...

    Lg g2 199.99 really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Guy over at XDA developers forum has had a G2 in-hand for a week or so. Overall he sounds pretty positive about it (screen, battery, wireless charging, camera) but he has a couple complaints. Doesn't like the plastic feel or LG's interface. Nothing that Nova and a case couldn't address, seems...

    Got my Droid Maxx Thursday

    I think you've summarized the best aspect of the Maxx. You can use it almost any way you want to all day and still have power left by the time you turn in. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    Lg g2 199.99 really!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    G2 sounds like it'll be a nice phone, but the Maxx better fits my needs. Nice to have a lot of good options hitting the market, though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2

    Best external battery?

    That's a great deal. I paid $60 for their 14400 mAh model and like it a lot. Charges all the tablets and phones I have. I take it on the road with me and never worry about my Note 8.0 or S3 losing power. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    Any way to turn off data during the night?

    Did a factory reset

    I can see that. I've never tried it, but I suppose someone that is making the transition between operating systems may find the familiarity helpful while getting comfortable. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    Stock vs 3rd Party Launcher

    I just registered for the Aviate alpha yesterday. Still waiting for an invite. I normally use Nova, TSF, or Next. But for the past week or so I've been rocking Action Launcher and think that it has sped up my app access when compared to my usual layout in the others..... Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    Did a factory reset

    Yeah, that's the stock size. Give Nova or Apex or ADW or something like that a shot to customize your grid and icon sizes. There are also launchers that replicate an iOS-like interface, though I don't recall their names. Sent from a Droid Maxx.

    couple random questions

    1. You can activate a "tap focus zone" mode in the camera settings (swipe from left to right while the camera is open). 2. It's not unique to Pandora. I've seen it with Google Play Music and Pocket Casts. The good news is that after seeing it a couple of times the first day or so, I don't...

    Happy w my battery

    You have them separated, too. It's just that your system wakelock is way down your list. I had several hours of calls today. Might be why my system wakelock is so far up the list today? Sent from a Droid Maxx.
