Why is the Jelly Bean update FORCED on my phone using up my data?
Why is this update being FORCED onto my Droid Bionic? I woke up my phone to discover an update was happening when I was on data, but I have the option set to only update on WiFi. I tried switching to WiFi and the update stalled. So I rebooted on WiFi and the update resumed VERY SLOWLY. I have calls to make and some apps I…

SD card not being read
I recently got a replacement Droid incredible after my original phone wouldn't turn on and got stuck in the reboot loop.

Now when I put my SD card into my replacement…

Best way to take OTA update?
just delayed JB update. I thinks its been downloaded. I was just wondering if there are any precautions smart people take just before doing these updates. I guess backing up things would be wise but what about doing a system cache clear or is there any safer 'boot mode' to do the install? Thanks
JB issue
Why was the FM tuner disabled in JB some people do use it and I doubt it was incompatible with JB. Just wondering the reason.
How to revert Droid Bionic from JB back to ICS
I received a message on my phone that an update had been downloaded last night and pressed the Install button. When the phone rebooted, I had Jelly Bean.

Vector Fonts in the FP8 Update???
Did anyone find the Vector Fonts that were "supposed to be" included in the Charge Phone's FP8 update. Also, how about you Verizon "factory support" folks; where are the Vector Fonts? If they are not there, just say so. It's not the end of the world. JerryF

Adobe No Longer Supports Flash 9
Since losing "flash" interfers with many applications the community has questioned both Motorola and Verizon as to what if anything they were going to do about it. You are correct, nothing. We were referred to Goggle which is a lost cause as they took this action to increase their market share. But both Motorola and…
