    Another I got a RAZR for my BIONIC story

    I bought my bionic on release day last September, so 13 months ago. I guess i don't even know how long the warranty lasts, but i called Verizon, not Assurian (the phoned insurance place that Verizon uses)... That being said, this was my 3rd device, so not sure if that somehow extends your...

    Texting on Computer?

    Have not used Mighty Text, but have used desk SMS for almost a full year now, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.koushikdutta.desktopsms&hl=en Koush does great work, and I swear by this app. There is a nominal annual fee, but worth it for stability. Install Gtalk and then it comes...

    Another I got a RAZR for my BIONIC story

    nice! didn't think to ask for that. But, i left the house yesterday at 5:30am, had rooted the night before, but was setting up, downloading apps, streaming music and audio books, fairly heavy use day. When all was said and done at 11:30 that night i still had 40% battery life left! I'm sold on...

    How to clear your Cache (stock)

    What's dalvik cache, how is that different from just plain old cache. And... if not switching ROM's is there a good reason to periodically clear your cache? Does it improve performance?

    LG Nexus 4 or wait for the Asus Padfone 2?

    Wow... Couldn't further from something like the ECHO. The issue with the PADfone is that it docks to the tablet but still uses the carrier's data. WITHOUT adding the extra $10 or $20 a month for a separate tablet device on the "share everything" plans. As such, VZW / ATT not likely to pick this...

    Re: Another I got a RAZR for my BIONIC story UPDATE - Got it swapped for a MAXX After reading the replies and several similar threads I called back and called foul... Got escalated through THREE levels of support Reps (never made it past tier 2 before ;-) And... After nearly 90 minutes of...

    Another I got a RAZR for my BIONIC story

    Yes, Razr, if I'd had any sense I'd have pushed for the maxx, but honestly, compared to my bionic I'm getting far better battery life even with just the RAZR Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk 2

    Another I got a RAZR for my BIONIC story

    Just an fyi guys. Have had persistent data drop and LTE signal issues, went through several sim cards and 2 phones and last week finally called vzw and just demanded a RAZR as a replacement. The rep told me "that's not gonna happen," but asked his supervisor, and all of a sudden it was done...

    I need some advice on upgrading from the Bionic

    Another possibility... I was on my 3rd bionic, kept having trouble holding an lte signal. Called Verizon and demanded a razr instead of another bionic. And I'm holding it now. Worlds of difference!! I'm not knocking the bionic, i liked that phone, and greatly appreciated this community...

    How to take 905 update and keep root?

    Forever root has worked for previous updates... Can anyone verify that they have successfully kept root from .902 to .905 with forever root?

    what's after Bionic?

    I agree with KillerG's first post. I like my bionic and as far as what's out there, the BIONIC has dual core, LTE, only shortcoming is the display and no official ICS (but that's coming, and a second party launcher pretty much obviates any intense need for that.) I'm no expert, but I think the...

    WiFi Tethering problem????

    +1 for FoxFi, Use this fairly heavily with Bionic + Transformer Tab, and my laptop, no issues so far, just works.
