This is my wife's phone. The SD card is not being recognized. Tried three different known-good cards, press the mount sd card (under Storage), phone waits a long time and doesn't mount. Tried reboot and battery pull numerous times. Once in a blue moon it will work. Without the SD card...

Vz Note 2, rooted with TWRP installed (used procedure over at galaxynote2root.com). I downloaded four different ROM's to my external SD card. When I boot into (TWRP) recovery and try to install any of them, I get an error that it can't unzip the file/file corrupt. I tried several SD cards...

PROBLEM SOLVED - Intermittent Data I may have solved my mobile hotspot data problem on my HTC Thunderbolt on my MacBook Pro. The DNS setting was set for my mobile satellite. Changing that to Google public DNS has so far solved the problem. Bob

And, just to ensure no confusion, the data connection never drops when using PDANet or just using the TB without any tethering (after reboot). It can stream radio stations all day and night. But, use the hotspot feature, and it will drop the data connection, sometime within minutes. Also, I...

Thanks for the reply, Frank, but it is NOT a WIFI problem. I can watch the data connection drop on the TB, and the TB has NO data access until it either mysteriously works again or until rebooted. Bob

I have the latest 2.11.605.9 update on my TB, but I had this same issue prior to the update. I had Vz activate the Hotspot feature on my TB. Hotspot worked great for the first evening. Next day, data connection (I'm on 3G) would be lost. Since I am stationary in my motorcoach and within...

I am considering a Bionic. But I heard that it will ONLY work with Moto/Verizon charger AND usb cables. Is this correct? I have lots of usb cables and chargers, stupid if it won't work with them. Thanks, Bob

Hope I'm lucky!

Has anyone got PDANet to work on the stock TB? I get the warning message from Vz about needing to purchase the Hotspot feature when I try to use PDANet. I sent an email to PDANet, but their response did not offer any suggestions. Bob

Ater the update, my extended battery only lasts a few hours. And this is not heavy use. I can imagine how short it would last while streaming a radio station (before the update, it could last round 4 hours with the LTE radio off). ALSO - battery takes at least 3x longer to charge. I thought...

Re: Why is it that the TB is the last phone to get every single u I had an iPhone for 3 years. Got the TB mostly for 4G and I did not like need for iTunes and a computer. I will move back to iPhone when 4G is available. Vanilla iOS, everyone gets updates, tons of accessories, Netflix, etc...
