    Weather Apps?

    I used to use Weather Bug Elite too but the app developers no longer support landscape. I remember when I first bought Elite and it was originally targeted for tablet users. Then they pulled Elite from the Play store. After some resentment, they restored Elite but did not support landscape...

    Google Now Cards completely missing since S7 Nougat update

    Thanks all. I see it now. I found that once before but couldn't get it to provide me notifications like it used to. It used to parse my flights out of my itineraries sent to my Gmail and automatically update me on them starting a day out. I went ahead and reconfigured my launcher to open the...

    Google Now Cards completely missing since S7 Nougat update

    I've been missing Google now Cards for months since the S7 update to Nougat. I used to hold the home key and my cards would show up. I also used to get flight updates and status alerts via Cards. Now when I hold the home key, I get a google voice assistant popup that is useless. I could do...

    Is a mid-April Launch Date possible?

    BOT. It's exactly 1 week out from the rumored release date. I've been scouring the internet for updates and leaks with no joy. I do not see this happening. I will be pleasantly surprised if proven wrong. But I will wait. I don't want a rushed device sitting and collecting dust because I...

    Will it be the Droid Fighter or the Droid RAZR MAXX HD?

    I REALLY like the name "Fighter". In an age where marketing has catered to politically correct overtones ad nauseum, a good, solid, powerful name like "Fighter" is a selling point. Alas, at this rate it will probably be the Moto-flower by release.

    Is Motorola Crazy?

    A lot of it has to do with the fact that the same technology might have been possible to include, but most people; and therefore all carriers, would be unwilling to pay the price at that particular time. Six months makes a huge difference in the cost of production time lines for technology...

    How long is at&t exclusivity for Note?

    OR how about an educated estimation. I could work with that as well.

    How long is at&t exclusivity for Note?

    I understand at&t currently has exclusivity on this monstrosity. Anyone actually know when exclusivity on this is due to expire? I need to upgrade soon or else dump a bunch of money on a new battery, bezel and battery cover for an obsolete phone. I figure if nothing has been officially...

    Do we even want the CPU clocked at 1.5ghz?

    Of course I would take a 1.5ghz processor. Like everything else electronic, why would I NOT want an overbuilt device? I'm sure they'll throttle it down to respectable battery longevity standards after initial release anyway. I'll bet they've even thought up a clever power profile to utilize...

    Droid X native calendar rolls back appts.

    Yep that did. Thanks guys. I rolled it back to reset last night and returned to stock. Unfortunately, I'm wifi only until I get back into the US so I have no more apps. I'm trying to get Market to work again Wifi only then I'll be golden. Did a test appt for April 28th and it stuck the...

    Droid X native calendar rolls back appts.

    Here's the deal. My X does not maintain appt's as entered when I use the native calender. I believe the native calendar is Bluhr. It's been awhile since I rooted and looked through all the .apk's but that seems to be what I recall. So, I enter an appointment; set up the when, where and who...

    Droid Pro is NOT a BlackBerry killer

    Are you kidding me? The company RIM is going to be the real "Blackberry Killer". RIM is their own worst enemy. I can't wait for the Playbook to come out either. That's going to be a huge reliefe to see that I was not one of the idiots that ran out and adopted that peice of techno-wonder...

    pre-emptive Droid X post

    It's not nice to pick on the mentally challenged. I remember a time when it was easier to spot them. Now the iPhone looks a lot like many other phones. :confused:

    Apps worth rooting?

    OP, I would have to say the Root Explorer has been the biggest + or Rooting my X. Not only does it allow you to access ALL the files, it allows you to delete the bloatware that is cluttering the phone by navigating to the system>app folder and deleting the offending .apk files. I like nice and...
