Yeah, don't get me wrong... my new to Android friend was frustrated for a couple of days, but now he's absolutely tickled by how customizable his Note 2 is. But people have to remember that many of us who have been Android users for a while now most likely did so because we got over the iPhone...

Tell that to someone who's never used an Android before. They'll disagree. I agree that JB and ICS have made things simpler, but it's still a lot to figure out if coming from an iPhone.

The reality is that Apple is no longer the leader when it comes to innovation. And while it might be said that this phone is slightly faster or that phone is slightly smoother, those differences don't actually manifest themselves in day to day operation. I've never swiped across the screen of my...

That's how you know you were speaking with Verizon.

I got a Seidio Surface case when I got my Note 2 and I love it. Keeps the phone thin, has a nice semi-rubberized feel to it, and comes with a kickstand.

I had an almost identical situation. Verizon and the Razr Maxx were great everywhere except my house (and I work from home, so it was unacceptable). Switched to T-Mobile and the Note 2 and I'm in Heaven. T-Mobile doesn't have the overall coverage that Verizon did, but it works in my home (where...

I didn't reset anything when I did the update and everything went kaboom. Phone was extremely slow, horribly slow to charge (like 6-7 hours to go from 35% to 70%), the battery was draining 2-3x faster than norm, and the phone ran hot. I don't mean it was warm... I mean stove top hot where it...

I had a case that I got from Verizon on it for about 2 days before I had to take it off. The problem with cases on the Razr Maxx is that Motorola makes a bunch of accessories and they don't work with a case on the phone. It's impossible to use the car dock with a case on the phone. It will not...

I feel like this has something to do with the phone overheating, because every time this has happened to me (Which is a bunch), my phone was always warm. One scenario is when I leave my phone in the center console of my car (shaded) when I work out in the afternoons and, almost without fail, a...

Yeah, go into: Settings Language & input Touchpad pointer style and it now gives you the options for Gesture mode (the circle- I hate it) or Mouse cursor mode (the way it was originally).

Exactly. If Google starts to become more insular and locks out their partners, they'll basically be repeating what Apple did (which has been successful but is unsustainable). Yes, a united Android is unbeatable and with any luck Google realizes that Android is Droid, EVO, Nexus, Thunderbolt...

Hopefully Google realizes that Android's success is because of it's wide field of manufacturers. When I read the partner responses earlier, you could almost see the gleeful smile behind the responses. You don't think Sony, Samsung, LG and all the rest would have liked to get into the iPhone...

Yeah, I noticed that too. I have a Ford Escape with Sync voice control and now, not only do I get a text message icon on my car's display that I never got with my EVO, if I hit voice control on my Ford's control panel and say "text message" it reads my text message over my sound system and gives...

I noticed that when I turn on Bluetooth in my car that it won't automatically connect. I have to go into Bluetooth settings and actually click "connect with this device." It won't automatically connect when I turn it on like my EVO 4G did. Kind of makes a Bluetooth widget useless. Probably...

Unless I'm misreading your negative, if you long-press a facebook contact inside your overall contacts app and select delete, the Photon allows you to hide that contact.
