    Travel Wallpaper?

    I'm using the travel wallpaper on the current Lollipop, but it seems to recycle some of the same ones over and over, especially the one that I like the least it seems to want to show me every other day (I have it set to change daily). Is there any way to choose which ones show up? So far the...

    Gmail android app will not turn off conversation view even when unchecked in general settings

    It's not possible. The conversation view box in settings is for POP/IMAP accounts and not native Gmail. The only solution I've seen is to switch to Outlook Mobile which is actually pretty good.

    Droid Mini Battery Life

    My Droid Mini's battery life hasn't been great. Usually get 2-full days, maybe 3-days if I'm lucky. That's with GPS off, Bluetooth off, mobile data off (only turn it on when I'm using it), and Wifi set to turn off when phone sleeps. Yesterday, I thought I'd try the Bluetooth pairing feature...

    Droid Mini - T-Mobile

    Thanks, I'll have to keep that in mind if/when they ever refarm my area. Yep, I got the Mini for the exact same reason. I think this is the best small smartphone you can get for Android right now. I was even willing to live with Edge to not have to switch to a giant phone. It's not a huge...

    Droid Mini - T-Mobile

    Glad you got it working! I am in a non-refarmed area so I already knew it wouldn't work with anything faster than EDGE. For EDGE, I just left it on global (default) and I did have to add an APN before it would get data.

    No one here is raving about their Droid Mini? OK, I will

    Re: No one here is raving about their mini? OK, I will I've only spent a few days with my Mini, and I'm really liking it. The screen and addition of capacitive hard-keys are big steps up from my RAZR M. I also really love the ActiveNotification feature. My main dislike is I'm not fond of the...

    Droid Mini - T-Mobile

    I don't usually necro old threads, but this is one of the first hits that comes back when searching for this info on Google. The Droid Mini is GSM unlocked. I popped in a genuine T-Mobile Nano SIM (not cut) and it worked immediately. It does say "Unknown SIM", but you can get rid of that popup...

    Squeaking/Noisy back cover

    I had this problem with my Droid Mini. It was creaking/squeaking loudly at where the back casing touches the front part between the volume and power buttons. I would hear it every time I picked it up. Felt and sounded so cheap, it got on my nerves. I removed the volume/SIM tray and used a...
