    Battery stats: high "android system" use?

    I wonder if the active notifications has something to do with this. Because it has to be monitoring for stuff even while it is idle

    Cannot text video with Mini!

    So is there an APP that would allow you to do this with the MINI?

    My impressions of the Mini

    I agree that the mini screen is brighter than the X. I would say that reading text on the mini screen is much better than the X even though the X has deeper blacks. The mini screen is really quite nice, much better than my Razr M or the mini.

    My impressions of the Mini

    I am also considering the mini and the X. Had a chance to look at both together at the Verizon store today. I was supprised at how compact the X is for a 4.7" display. Also supprised at how well the Mini compares. I tried to do the same things on each phone to compare the displays. The mini...

    My impressions of the Mini

    I read somewhere that some pictures are better with HDR off, so I wanted to try it that way.

    My impressions of the Mini

    I returned to the Verizon store to continue my comparison of the new Droid Min with my Droid Razr M. Did a couple of test checking for speed differences and the Droid Mini definitely is faster and smoother than the Razr M. I put chrome on both of them and pulled up the same site on both. It was...

    Active Notifications

    I went to the Verizon store yesterday to compare phones. Didn't have a lot of time but I compared the Droid Mini to my current phone which is A Droid Razr M (the predecessar to the mini). The screen on the Mini is brighter and crisper than the Razr M, but the Razr M screen clarity does not fall...

    Active Notifications

    I agree with you on the confusion about the specs for this phone. At least a couple of sites say that this phone has a Super AMOLED display. The Motorola site is pretty vague about the display. So I guess we may have to wait until the phone releases to find out for sure. JW

    No compromises?

    I currently have a Droid Razr M which is a pretty good phone in all respects. The new Mini appears to be an upgrade to the Razr M in most areas (screen, processor, camera, OS, etc) with the exception of storage space. You can put a 32 GB card in the Razr M but not in the Mini. I am considering...

    DROID RAZR M Update

    I downloaded the update this morning after checking to see that an update was available. After the update I noticed better wifi performance and also it seems that the phone overall seems a litter quicker in response. My phone is not rooted. I do use the nova launcher. JW

    HTC One Developer Edition

    Could you buy the unlocked version and then use it on the Verizon network, or do you need to have specific radios for verizon

    Amazing. I finally found my perfect phone

    I have had this phone for about two weeks. I came from an HTC Rezound ( which i still have as a backup). I have to say, that I like everything about this phone with the following exceptions: 1. Inability to load apps on the SD card ( without some trickery which I haven't tried yet) 2. Camera, I...
