I wouldn't say this phone gets excellent battery life. I get bad cell reception at work, big drain. Big screen, big drain. I'm a heavy user, big drain. If I don't use it at all I can get a day out of it, but then what's the point? Posted via the Android Central App

My signal is terrible where I work. Posted via the Android Central App

I'm a heavy user. No full day use for me. My Nexus 7 2013 on the other hand can doze for days and days so I imagine untouched this phone would last quite a while Posted via the Android Central App

I don't think it would tip with that modification. Balanced forward Posted via the Android Central App

Great review, I'm glad it works for you. Maybe I need to exchange mine and see if a different one will hold height better. Thanks for posting Posted via the Android Central App

I can remove the phone with one hand; thumb and index finger pinching the phone and middle finger on the back support of the dock, holding the dock down. Finding the port to plug connection is easy enough. The micro USB pivots from front to back making it easy to plug in then push back. I have...

This update fixed an issue I had with the Fox News app. The news thread always, since I got the phone, said I had no internet... though it would play the live video feed over my connection. Now it works fine... I had the same experience with what appeared to be missing apps, but the reappeared...

Re: Charge/Sync Dock I also bought a generic one for $11. It wanted to fall over every time I touched the phone. I returned it after 2 hours of use. For $18 I'm really happy with the Belkin. Posted via the Android Central App

I will try it out and see if "turbopower connected" appears on screen. Posted via the Android Central App

Nova Launcher Prime allows you to hide apps in the app drawer, if you're stuck on not seeing it. Posted via the Android Central App Edit: never mind, I see you don't want to switch launchers...

I just wanted to share the dock I ended up purchasing for my MXPE. It's heavy enough to stand up to pushing on the screen at the top without budging. The adjustable height for the micro USB allows for different types of cases or no case. I have the casemate bumper case and it works great. This...

From what I understand FI utilizes Sprint and T-Mobile, whichever is getting better reception wherever you are at the moment. Posted via the Android Central App
