I have been able to get a phone back to life after a swim using the rice technique but if you don't get anywhere with the rice you might try something like the rescue kit found on this video: Wet Cell Phone Rescue Tool That's Better Than Rice I've never tried it myself but it appears to work...

I can't seem to get out beyond the step of the " little Android man logo with Exclamation mark" screen. It says to press the Vol Up and Vol Down keys together but it doesn't seem to do anything. I can do short clicks or long holds but neither one seems to do anything. Is there a trick to get...

Looks like you were browsing the web a lot during those 5 hrs or your display is set too high. I would check your brightness level and possibly cut it back to 40%. My screen percentage on battery use after a whole day's use is always in the 30-40% range. I never see it in the 50's let alone 60%.

I only had the phone on ICS for about a week before the Jelly Bean update came around so I never knew that it used to work. Thanks for the info though. I guess I'm stuck with just turning off the notifications.

Is there are way to set the default texting app to a 3rd party app (Text+). The instructions on the apps support page detail out the steps to do this but unfortunately they don't work on the Droid M. I've cleared the defaults on the messaging app but can't seem to get the pop up window to set...

I have used a Class10 with no issues. This is the one I purchased: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card w/ SD Adapter Model FF-TSDG32GA-C10

The only disappointment I have with this phone is the camera. I don't have much to compare against but my wife has an iphone4 and the camera on her phone is quicker to shoot/focus, takes better pictures indoors, and has better color reproduction. I've tried many of the camera apps available on...

Which Verizon sync service are you talking about? I still have a very cloudy understanding on what sync services are active on my phone and would like to disable this as well. Thanks.

It is enabled so I'm not sure why it's not working. I currently leave wifi on, like you, but it sounded like people saw gains from turning off wifi so I wanted to try it out for myself. I guess I'll keep at it. I never bothered to turn off the "notify me" option but now that you mention it...

Hi guys, I was trying to add a smart action based on a location trigger and can't get it to work. I want wifi to turn on when I'm at home but for some reason my phone never recognizes that I'm at home based on location. I set the location manually by typing in my address but the smart action...

I see. Thanks for following up on this. I appreciate it!

The only thing that might be close might be "Backup Assistant Plus" under the "Accounts" heading but there is no toggle for turning syncing on or off.

Thank you for the info. I will definitely be playing around with the Smart Actions settings. Also, maybe I never went through the steps to set it up but the "Accounts & Synch" option does not exist for me. I went up and down the "Go to All Settings" menu and do not see it. Which heading do I...

You bring up some very good ideas for battery saving that I never really though of. I haven't messed with the sync settings on my phone. Which settings are you talking about? I would also like to change these settings but don't know where to look. Thanks for the help.

Well, I can confirm that class 10 micro SDHC cards do work on the Razr M. This is the one I purchased and the phone recognized it right away: Newegg.com - G.SKILL 32GB Micro SDHC Flash Card w/ SD Adapter Model FF-TSDG32GA-C10
