    Droid MAXX: Case suggestions?

    OK, apparently I am getting clumsy in my old age. Just blew part of my work tech budget replacing my screen and don't want to do it again. I REALLY like the phone without a case so I am wondering what case folks might recommend that 1) will actually protect it if I drop it again, 2) is not...

    Droid MAXX: broken glass, can it be fixed?

    Re: broken glass, can it be fixed? Just updating for anyone that may be searching this subject later. I chose to go the route of fixing rather than buying new. Local place (Lifeline I think) did the work. While it was crazy expensive because the phone is new and parts still pricey, the work...

    Droid MAXX: broken glass, can it be fixed?

    Re: broken glass, can it be fixed? Thanks. How do I know if the bottom buttons are not working because of the glass breakage versus they are actually damaged?

    Droid MAXX: broken glass, can it be fixed?

    First time ever...dropped my phone and broke the glass. Technically screen seems to still work other than the Home, Back, and Multi buttons at the bottom. Can this be repaired or am I in for a new phone?

    Droid November Update

    My download took almost an hour. I do have a relatively weak 4g signal in my office though, so that could be it.

    Droid November Update

    My download just started. I snapped a few quick pictures around my office so I would have some 1 to 1 comparisons with the same lighting.

    Battery life, just for fun

    Odd, then why would it not have reset the counter? It was not on battery for that amount of time.

    Battery life, just for fun

    Been really busy at work/home so I had not really used my phone much. Got ready to charge it and it hit me that I did not recall the last time I had done so...so I checked...

    Your thoughts? Is the Maxx still worth it with it's build issues?

    I'm still pretty new to the phone, but no build quality issues for me. If anything I would agree that this phone seems more solid than most I have had. I also agree that you have to remember that the people coming to the sites to complain or look for help are not a good measure. How many...

    Just got my Maxx, quick battery question

    Generally been too busy to use it a lot so far. Currently at 43 hours up, 34% battery remaining, about 7 hours of screen time, 4g, WiFi, and GPS on the entire time. In the middle of metro Atlanta so signal strength is mostly medium to strong. It is on Wi-Fi at home mostly, but have not...

    Touchless Control Setup

    I can concur that the update made mine work. Side question, where can I learn the details for this feature ? I have a couple of usability issues so far. It keeps picking up at random times (like asi was typing this), also I have a screen unlock pattern but it required me to unlock the screen...

    Screen is on auto brightness. Not sure how I see how much screen time has been logged thus far.

    Just got my Maxx, quick battery question

    Man, this phone is messed up. Got it up to 100% charge at 3:00pm yesterday. Loaded a ton of stuff, messed with the new phone, have Wifi, BT, and 4g on the entire time, everything coming in vibrates (gotta figure that one out). As of now the battery is at 71%. Down less than 30% in 22 hours...

    So there is no need to fully charge then discharge the first time or 2?

    Just got my Maxx, quick battery question

    Literally just got it delivered. Wanted to ask a quick battery question. Any recommendations on how I should 'break in' the battery? One of the main reasons I went with this device is for the long battery life so I want to make sure that I start it out correctly.
