Motorola often uses some type of software that causes problems with non-Motorola batteries and sometimes chargers. In any event, I think your best (only choice) if you want another battery is to buy an OEM from ebay or amazon. Check reviews to make sure used or fakes aren't being sold. . The...

Thanks Mooncatt - I did eventually find the internal storage by USB to my laptop. Not sure why it wouldn't show before. It did take a long time to pop up. The pictures were there and I was able to move to the new phone. It also contained file folders of all my apps. I wasn't sure what if...

Completed the process last night using original sim card.. Took quite a while and was a real pain, several software and operating system updates that took a couple hours to complete. Only negative is I lost my pictures which I thought were on my external SD card but apparently weren't, all my...

I'm thinking of buying a bionic which is unused and likely still has gingerbread on it. Couple questions: 1. Will I be able to get to 4.1.2 with OTA updates since the OS on it now is a couple updates at least behind. 2. Is best approach to just swap sim cards from my current bionic to new...

Wow, I'm surprised you're running smoothly at that level of free RAM. Once I get below 100MB I get laggy. In the old Blackberry days it used to be common to get under 5 MB free RAM lol.

Couple quick things to check - make sure wifi and GPS aren't turned on unless you want them to be. JB seems to turn these on at random for some people. And try the suggestions I made in an above thread regarding loss of RAM. These same issues affect battery life. I imagine you have some...

a few things that will help: Go into settings, developer options and check "at most 3 process running", download "fast reboot" app which will essentially recover your leaked ram in a few seconds, and maybe a program like 1-tap cache cleaner. If you want to get really aggressive you can check...

I force stopped the application. Recharging now. The amount of CPU time wasn't super high but it clearly was intensively using battery resources while active. I've deleted several tuning and back-up applications. I will recharge overnight and see what happens. Sent from my DROID BIONIC...

On my Droid Bionic running ICS, my extended battery is struggling to make it 12 hours on a full chaege with light to moderate use. The battery analysis shows "Files" consuming at least 60% of the battery. Any suggestions as to why or how to stop it? Thanks in advance.

I used it for a while and it did drain my battery more than Lookout. Othter than that I liked it.

Re: Whine back in headphone output on 246? I notice it very slightly with Phonak PFE earphones. I think they are 32 ohms. I probably would not have noticed it had it not been pointed out. I use Power Amp for music and by manipulating the preamp volume control and balancing it with the...

One thng that really helped me with battery life and more importantly to save RAM was to set backgound processes to a maximum of four and to set it to kill all activities upon exit. There are in the developer options in settings. You might try that. Phone seems to run smoother, RAM never...

I have a hard time understanding why a phone would need to " settle in "to a new OS. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Android Central Forums

I don't remember the sequence of key presses. I found it at the forum at verizon wireless page on the discussion about the ICS update.

Clear the system cache and reboot.
