Re: Is anyone's battery after 5.1 (Verizon) update... My charging time seems the same. I don't like leaving it on the charger all night. I usually charge first thing in the AM. About 90 minutes if it is down to 25% to 35%. Battery life also seems better but only slightly so. It definitely runs...

Downloading in Seattle also.

I'm happy with mine. Never had a problem. One thing that no one ever mentions, but my M9 has the best call quality of any cell phone I've had or used. That should count for something.

On a lark, I just tried the "Live Chat" function on the Verizon support site and asked where this update was. They claimed that the first wave went out yesterday (8/4/15). I am skeptical of this since I have not seen this information anywhere else, but it's still interesting to hear this. I...

I am not against this feature or the notice, except that I occasionally get a message telling me that it will take twenty minutes to get home, when I am ALREADY home. It even shows a little route mapped out from a place that I haven't been near in years.

My Verizon M9 is also set on "global". I'm not really noticing any problems, so is there a downside to switching? What or the pro's and con's?

If this is happening on the home screen only, you may still have the "Sense Home" widget and not be aware of it. It is essentially a transparent box that will hold eight icons (two rows of four each). This was the default configuration on my M9 when I got it. It is easy to drag apps in and out...

Are these icons by any chance on your home screen in the Sense Home Widget? If so, the contents are changing by design. It thinks that it can foresee which apps you want to see the most. If this is the case, you can have some success by pushing and holding the icon and it will pin it into place...

The "Home/Out" widget can be a bit annoying at first, but you can pin the apps that you want there by pressing and holding. I took me a while to get mine sorted out the way I wanted it.

My daughter got her M9 from T-Mobile. Because I liked hers so much, I upgraded to my own M9 from Verizon. I over-all like it, but I have just realized that the FM tuner app is missing from mine. She has one and it works perfectly. That feature was one of the tiebreakers for me between several...

Re: Droid Turbo and Outlook app - not sending emails Look into "Sunrise. It is a nice calendar app that will synchronize with Exchange and with Outlook.com calendars. They have recently been acquired by Microsoft so I would expect them to improve with time.

Yeah thanks - that's a little bit steep, considering that my problem is fairly small to begin with (so far). The batteries listed on Amazon that appear to be the original equipment replacement all come from third parties and some of the reviews are horrible. I think I'll just carry on until I'm...

If anyone is still here? If so do you know how to get the correct replacement (standard) battery for my Rezound? I've had mine since day one and never had a real problem. Lately I see the charge isn't quit what it used to be and given the age it wouldn't surprise me if I was due for a...

If I understand correctly this offer of one dollar is only good thru the 31st. Is this legit? How can they do this? My biggest concern would the the 32 gb storage, but my current phone (HTC Rezound) has 16 gb on board and a32 gb card and I've only filled a small fraction of the total available...

@ Brian Dorken Sorry about that. I did know about the malware, but I was lucky enough to avoid installing those bad items. I've learned to be very suspicious whenever I download anything. I did manage to get the desk top application up and running and it works fine for me. That...
