    Text notifications not appearing on lock screen after Lollipop upgrade

    Wasn't getting good results with the above (didn't really want messages overriding do not disturb, so I didn't play the priority game). Did get success after checking the "Show new messages in pop-ups on all screens except the lock screen", testing and continuing to get only the "new message"...

    Anyone know how can I remove the Flipboard "System App" please?

    Was turning off FLIPBOARD only to have it reappear. Repeatedly. But it looked like SAMSUNG APPS was putting it back - not the PLAY STORE. So I dug into SAMSUNG APPS. There is an option to not automatically update apps which looked promising. But I was a little perturbed by this time, so (after...

    EP4 OTA arrived and installed.

    GB was waiting on the phone at 7am. Smooth install 20 minutes. GPS seems faster - maybe. I'll try again outside. Re-paints, especially from apps back to home MUCH faster. Next up, root, Ti backup and de-bloat.

    EP4 OTA arrived and installed.

    Any idea how many DCs are out here in the wild? Giving us some idea as to whether 30 days is nonsense or not?

    Droid Charge Seidio Surface Case Review... Please Come In

    The Seidio surface and belt clip are very nice. You need to watch you don't get a coat or loose shirt caught when you clip in, but it clips in well. What is missing is the ACTIVE level case re-inforcement and double-release of the Active belt clip. Seidio chose to not make that available for the...

    Extended Battery Cases?

    I really liked the Seidio Surface with the clip that covers the screen. Had one for my Blackberry Storm1 which survived physically longer than I was able to stand the limited phone. I was disappointed that Seidio chose to not make the Active or Rugged or whatever it is marketing calls it this...

    How do you get all day on a charge, I am charging twice a day....

    Re: How do you get all day on a charge, I am charging twice a day Picked up an extended battery and back door from amazon. Battery life now back into the realm of good-enough. One less thing to worry about.

    Phone call Screen in landscape Mode

    Using CarHome Ultra ... *SOMETIMES* I get landscape phone, sometimes not. Perhaps when I get an incoming call whilst in cardock? Perhaps whilst having a bluetooth connection?

    Droid Charge: all docked up?

    Tried the magnet. No discernible effect on the charge. It does seem like that if I turn on bluetooth, and bluetooth connects to the car stereo and I add external power, I'll get a notification that the charge went into "Car Mode". Pulling down the notification screen provides an option to exit...

    3g/4g and wifi

    I had to dial *228 several times before I got good data coverage ... but I have since read here that *228 fries the sim and and sd cards. Perhaps a) verify sim and sd are functioning and backup any data, b) go to Verizon with the data coverage issue - they will probably do the *228, c) before...

    Droid Charge: all docked up?

    That's interesting. My old Blackberry used the magnet to recognize being holstered - by then turning the display off. I guess I'll go look for a magnet. Is any of this droid stuff documented? Or is it all ready fire aim? :confused:

    Droid Charge: all docked up?

    Anybody figure out the external limits to the dock situation? "Car Cradle" is buried in the apps list (menu, settings, manage applications, all) but I can't figure out how to launch/install/invoke/use it. Dock settings is set to always. Do certain pins have to be shorted to trigger dock? What is...

    o hi

    Hello, I'm a bb refugee. Used the Storm1 (Storm0?) until I was ready to tap the "keyboard" with a hammer. Held back on the theory that I might need to un-retire the Storm to support GSM on some unanticipated trip to foreign (or West Virginian) lands. Looking forward to better hardware. Went with...
