    Wi-fi less screen casting

    Hi! Thanks! Usually it is best to get a cable that mirrors the screen of your phone to the TV. Well....the only output from the droid is mini usb, and the input on the tv is regular htmi, so I was proud of finding this connection wiring finally. But your comment has me confused...? Casting...

    Wi-fi less screen casting

    I have thought all along that this was an impossible unicorn cable issue, but I finally found a mini-USB to mini-HTMI gender bender, and can cable this to my Samsung TV's HTMI 2 port. But "cast screen" in Droid settings doesn't recognize it, nor does the Samsung HTMI input. Wireless is not an...

    how to make photo albums in gallery

    uh....so the only way to make a dam photo folder is with an app? I am already so frustrated with the turbo. The Verizon store twit said I had to email my photos one by one from my RAZR. Then he dumped them all into one directory, half on the device and half in the "cloud", which since Verizon...

    Verizon Galaxy S5 finally ROOTED! !

    Hi! I have an unlimited Verizon grandfathered account that I would like to turn into a hotspot. A kindly Verizon store employee advised this on the total down/low, said that I should get a Galaxy. I am intimidated by the process here. His advice was "Find somebody that knows what they are...

    Help! My Droid Razr is giving me like 90 minutes of use!

    Okay, I'll get that, but here is a ridiculous screen I just grabbed...56 mins estimated for a full charge! Some said the battery paks can "degrade"? Can I get that fixed??

    Help! My Droid Razr is giving me like 90 minutes of use!

    What the what? My Droid is giving me like 90 minutes of use. (oh, I just said that). I have the screen on low, the GPS notifications off, the pinging apps for only when they are open. The only thing I can think is, I am in a very marginal reception area. Can that create this kind of strain...

    Okay, my bad, it is a Droid Razr, no Maxx. 4.1.2 Wrong forum....but can you continue, or should I go there? As to screenshot, that is what I did above...maybe you are looking for something from the MAXX? I'll repost in Razr

    I downloaded SmartActions 2 and have it set on "Smart Screen Brightness" and it is barely legible. It says 6hrs...pfftt...I'll be lucky to get an hour if I'm using it. So what gives?

    Is Verizon Unlimited Data (Wi-Fi Fail+ripoff+total jack) really unlimited?

    Re: Verizon Unlimited Data Wi-Fi Fail+ripoff+total jack This worked! You guys rock! A few lessons: Be VERY cautious with nano to regular SIM adapters. I got one stuck in my jetpack....the push pinny things are very touchy. If I had been going the other way, it could have trashed my expensive...

    Is Verizon Unlimited Data (Wi-Fi Fail+ripoff+total jack) really unlimited?

    Re: Verizon Unlimited Data Wi-Fi Fail+ripoff+total jack Hi! Sorry, my attention wandered. So...I get it I think. I can take my SIM out of my Droid, put it in my jetpack, and the mi-fi usage should be on the unlimited data plan. Do I have to "activate" the jetpack with the new SIM? More...
