    DROID TURBO: 5.1 Lollipop Update

    Here is my 2 cents... After the update it took about 30 minutes and a reboot for 5.1 update to "settle in" Battery life is better, the phone is snappier and wireless works better. Everything just works better, takes a little getting used to. No change in volumes Three things not yet posted: 1...

    Nexus 6 Going Back to VZW

    I have a friend who works for a Verizon call center. The Galaxy S6 is the most returned phone of the last few years. Sure looks pretty but reception then battery life are my highest priorities in a cell phone so its either the Note 4 ( too big and too expensive) or the Droid Turbo.

    Droid Turbo: Battery Life

    Hello all, I just got my Turbo 2 weeks ago so I hope you dont mind me jumping to this discussion late. I have only 2 bars of LTE at my house and sometimes 1x. I also keep the GPS and Bluetooth on all the time. Under heavy use I average about 4% of battery per hour and on standby about 1% per...

    Droid Turbo: Lollipop software update?

    I understand the Galaxy S6 is having major issues with Lollipop. When the update does come out I am going to wait a month to see if others are having good luck with it. Its easy to wait but hard to deal with phone issues with no fix in site.

    Turbo Reboots Randomly

    My wife's phone was doing the same thing. I disabled Google +. Her phone hasn't had a random reboot since. I did it to fix the crashing contacts app BTW. The no more reboots was icing on the cake.

    My Maxx died at 18 months...

    Yesterday I noticed my Maxx was off. When I turned it on it wouldn't go past boot animation. Even when booting to the menu by holding down the volume down button it, when selecting any of utilities the phone would just restart. I purchased a Droid Turbo because I really like the Droid phones...

    Has anyone else noticed a drop in Verizon's signal?

    Both my wife and I and some friends have been having reception issues in the Los Angeles area. My battery almost never makes it into a second day anymore as the radios are always running at full power. I did call Verizon and after a week they called me back and said "its a known issue"

    Flirted with Droid Turbo, sticking with the Maxx

    My wife purchased the Droid Turbo. It lacks the hardware to do voice and internet at same time. Verizon's answer is that it will get VoLTE be the end of the year so it will do both. In my area I often have plenty of LTE signal but still no internet. Good thing we are still within the 14 day...

Since the 4.44 update I regularly loose the blue tooth connection with my Ford Sync. I tried a factory reset of both the phone and the Snyc. It did not resolve the...

    Motorola sold to Lenovo, Texas plant closing

    I am so sad to see Motorola being sold off to a Chinese company. No question there will be a substantial quality reduction and even less support. I would have bought another Motorola phone in an instant when my contract is up because of the top notch reception and battery life, not to mention...
