Any chance you are exposing your phone to a magnet? I have a magnetic car mount for my Droid Turbo and if I place the magnet high on the back of the phone, I will get the miniature lock screen.

The last week or so RCS has been causing my phone to run hot and it is killing my battery. If anyone figures out the cause, or how to stop it, please post.

Keeping my OG Moto X. It is just as fast as the day I got it. I keep it in an Otterbox Commuter so it is in perfect shape. I have no reason to upgrade this go around. Maybe when the Moto X 2015 comes out...

I have a Moto X (2013) and a Jawbone Icon HD. With Touchless Controls, I hear the phone's voice through my bluetooth headset, but it is using the microphone in the phone to hear my voice. This doesn't work well when I am driving and the phone is not near my mouth. Is there anything I can do...

This method worked for me and I did not lose any of my data. Make sure you use the factory image for your build.

My Nexus 7 suffers a boot loop about every 6 months. Previously I had to use the Nexus Toolkit to completely wipe and reinstall the OS. This method allowed me to eliminate the boot loop without losing data. I have 4.4.2 on mine, but these instructions still work, just use with the updated...

I solved my slow Razr Maxx problems by finally biting the bullet and installing CyanogenMod 10.1. Spent yesterday evening doing it. I did a factory reset a few weeks ago, but that did not solve my problems. I have another year before I am eligible for an upgrade, so I took a chance with...

My Razr Maxx has also been running slow. It especially runs slow when I am using the SwiftKey keyboard. It sometimes take a long time (a few seconds) to register my taps on the keyboard. Those of you who are running slow, are you using SwiftKey?

I have the Razr Maxx with the Otterbox Commuter. I have purchased two holsters. When I am in a suit I will use the Nutshell 209: Motorola Droid Razr in otterbox belt case These are made in New Zealand and are very high quality leather holsters. Since Nutshell doesn't have the Razr Maxx with...

Tomorrow I will be eligible for an upgrade with a $50 NE2 rebate. I am upgrading from the Droid X to the Razr Maxx. I know if I order online, the rebate is applied instantly. What if I go into a Verizon store? Is the rebate applied in the store or do they mail it to me?

After the update and cache wipe: Camera resolution setting is still not sticking after a reboot. Blur seems snappier and more responsive, but not sure if this is just the result of a reboot. Time will tell.

I'm not eligible for an upgrade until May 2012 and I think that timing is perfect. LTE will be everywhere and on all devices as will dual core processors. I also feel that they will have had a chance to tame the battery usage with LTE as well. Maybe I will upgrade to the DX3.

Get a car charger and use it when you are in the car. Keep a charger at your office and keep your phone plugged in at work. Also, the BH6X extended battery will get you more juice to last you through the day. Using GPS will drain your batteries quickly; I learned this the hard way on a trip...

LMO - I needed to know what would happen if I was recording a witness interview and a call came in. I was recently surprised when I was using my DX to video my daughter's violin concert and a call came in. I ignored the call, but the video stopped recording. I have not checked this behavior...

I had the same problem. See this thread: http://forum.androidcentral.com/motorola-droid-x/79493-droidx-ota-gb-reboot-when-plugged-into-usb-charger.html If you have Bump installed, uninstall it. This solved my problem. The last update to Bump caused a lot of problems. Some people have had...
