    Why so many "India" Posts on main page?

    Not trying to be an ignorant American, but why would I care about a phone being released in India? There is a button to select "India" or other locations but I have selected the US and still get India posts from Harrish. Nothing against Harrish but I don't give a flying fart about how many...

    Moto Display not showing Icons after Nougat update

    Is it just me or is anybody else not getting Icons to display messages/mail/notifications on the Moto Display approach screen. I'm talking about the screen that shows the time and the lock icon when you wave your hand over the phone. It used to show icons of messages, but I can't get mine to...

    6.0 Marshmallow for the DROID TURBO 2

    Was hoping that the Smart Lock "Home" location would get fixed - apparently it wasn't, my phone still doesn't know when I am at home. They really should add a wifi router as a recognized device

    Scosche Magic Mount use with the Turbo2

    The phone doesn't have a built in magnet, but it does have enough ferrous material (the wireless charging coils) to hold an uncased or very thin cased phone, to a magnet. Like I said, my Casemate Naked works without the metal plate, but my double thick Casemate Tough needs the plate. I will...

    Scosche Magic Mount use with the Turbo2

    I don't see it cause any real issues, but it seemed to confuse a couple of sensors like the magnetometer or gyro

    Scosche Magic Mount use with the Turbo2

    Wasn't even aware of the Air Dock.... Damn, I could integrate that into my dash. (As I did with the Scosche) Anyway - more research shows that the CaseMate Clear will work without the steel plate inside as it is a single layer case. So - you can have Qi, and a dashmount without clips or warts...

    Scosche Magic Mount use with the Turbo2

    I was using the Steelie magnetic mount for my Droid Turbo 2, but I didn't like the wart on the back of my phone case (Casemate Tough Case) I was in my local BJ's Warehouse Club and they had a display for the Scosche Magic Mount and I found it intriguing. I took my phone out of it's case and it...

    Slow phone, try this.

    Settings - Accounts - Google - click on the email account you want to delete, it will take you to the sync page. Click 3 dots in upper right corner - select remove account. Answer "continue" to questions I restarted my phone after the removal, then re-added the same account. I am guessing...

    Slow phone, try this.

    My brand new Turbo 2 was not impressing me, my 2013 Moto X (which was given to my daughter) was outperforming it. I tried to disable a bunch of apps and restarted a few times a day, but did not make much of a difference. I was about to do a factory reset, but dreaded the rebuild. So, I...

    Lollipop 5.1 + StageFright: Verizon Moto X XT1060 (222.26.7.ghost_verizon.Verizon.en.US)

    Battery Drain Issue The only thing that work for me was a FDR, once that was done, everything seems to work fine now. I used Helium to back up and restore. DO NOT expect Lollipop to save much.

    4.1.2 JB for my Maxx....

    Stolen from Jelly Bean | Android Developers Android 4.1 extends vsync timing across all drawing and animation done by the Android framework. Everything runs in lockstep against a 16 millisecond vsync heartbeat ? application rendering, touch events, screen composition, and display refresh ? so...

    Looking for a Contacts App that will control Phonebook transfers

    Re: Looking for a Contacts App that will control Phonebook transf ICS did it. Okay, here's what I did after Google imported the huge number of contacts into my phone and they all showed up in my Bluetooth Phonebook on my car, making it near impossible to scroll thru to get a frequently used...

    ICS rumblings for Razr??

    I know that one of the "Features" of the .181 push was that it disabled non-Motorola Desktop Docks from accessing the built in RAZR Dock and webtop screens. In other words, Verizon and Motorola were tightening their hold on hardware - it even could have been the reason for a delay, while they...
