View 2 RepliesSometimes when I turn the screen off on My Bionic, it immediately comes right back on.Now, it doesn't happen every time and I can't repeat the problem on demand.Seems as though it has a mind of its own.I don't believe it is a bad app causing the problem either.The phone has been doing this on and off since I activated it yesterday.Not sure why it does this, but I wanted MOTO to be aware of this issue.I'm not sure if it is a hardware or software problem, but it didn't go away after a battery pull and reboot.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased the Droid Bionic approximately 2 weeks ago. I got one for my husband also. Recently, my phone has been randomly shutting off and the only way to turn it back on is to remove the battery. It has also happened when the phone is on and I am charging it. My husband's phone has not randomly shut off at any time. I have downloaded a few apps which include Accuweather, Go SMS pro and PicSpeed Wallpaper. I also inserted my micro SD card from my old phone into the new phone which I just removed to see if the phone will randomly shut down. I also do not have the pocket detector on.

View 4 Replies View RelatedMy battery door has become very weak and creaky since I have to do so many battery pulls. I have the extended battery and it seems the only way to get a new one is to buy another battery. My back door barely stays on. Also, are there any plans on marketing skins for the external battery? This would make the phone feel more solid and protect the bezel from scratches.

I have been into settings and can't find any way turn notifications off. When I click "settings" under gmail, there is an option to turn off the icon in the status bar, but no way to turn off the sound.

View 8 Replies View Relatedhow to turn off the new Automatic Wifi Feature that was releases with ICS? I think it is great that the phone can turn on Wifi when you are close to it, but it would be real nice if you could set it to turn on only when near certain Wifi Networks, or even turn if off for that matter.
Short of waiting for the Auto Wifi menu to eventually pop up and ask how you want to use it, does anyone know where to actually go in the settings to do it when you want to and not when ICS decides to give you the pop up?
It is real frustrating since it does NOT shut itself off when you leave a Wifi Zone and there is no apparent way to set it to turn on only when near your Wifi zones which makes this feature more of an annoyance then a feature.
I've heard that others have this issue too. I don't have the headphone wine, so I hate to bring this thing back if I don't need to. will it come in an update? Or, do I NEED to swap this handset out for a replacement while I am in the initial 14-day purchase window? Haven't seen anyone address those questions head on yet.

(Any sane person would asume this would disingauge the visable lock screen. Not so batman.... Just because this is how you turned it on does not mean it will turn if off!!!!)Go back to home screen.When slide security screen is pushed aside. There is the visable lock pattern screen again
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm having issues with a wallpaper saved from the gallery. Most of the times it will stick, but about 20% of the time the default red circuit board wallpaper will return. Phone is still functional and if I put it to sleep then reawake, most of the times my gallery wallpaper will return. Really odd. Happens sometimes right after I save a new wallpaper or sometimes later that day after multiple "wake ups".
I was thinking of locating the default wallpapers and placing my pics in there, but if I pick one of the other stock wallpapers, it has done it there, too. Right back to the default circuit board.

Three or four days after a phone restart, I cannot turn WiFi off, it immediately turns back on. Seems like one app is doing this, how do I find it?
Details: I have an HTC One M7 on Sprint. It’s not rooted. After the recent update to Android Lollipop, I cannot turn the WiFi off.
It’s not as black-and-white as it would first appear, the WiFi on/off feature will work for 2, 3, or 4 days after the phone is hard restarted.
During the initial 2, 3, 4 day period of time, (it’s inexact, I’m still experimenting) WiFi on/off works fine. After the 2, 3, 4 day period of time, the off won’t work. What I see in settings, the Wi-Fi On/Off button with the green triangle never goes to off. On the settings screen when you two-finger swipe-down, the square WiFi icon when clicked, the concentric power waves will turn off for a second or two, then come right back on. And the WiFi icon in the status bar constantly shows a connection when trying to turn off.
when ever i try to turn my phone on it just lights up and turns back off and repeats a couple of times. i tried connecting to the computer but didnt work and the battery was 100% full when it stuffed up
View 6 Replies View RelatedI've heard of phones turning themselves off, but never turning themselves back on for no reason. I just got my Droid 3 at the end of November as part of my new every 2 with Verizon. I love the phone, but I started to realize the phone was turning itself back on at night within minutes of me turning it off. I have looked through settings and found nothing for auto on/auto off.
View 1 Replies View Related I waited to purchase a tablet for 2 years, waiting for what I felt would be the perfect tablet. I researched for those 2 years and finally the XY Board came out! I was thrilled. I told my husband and he purchased it for me [10.1] 32gb for Christmas- through Verizon. I was a little upset that ICS was not on it yet but "it was coming soon". It took me a little time to figure out how to set it up exactly how I liked it but it was worth it. Then I started to notice a few issues: It was very difficult to turn on and off - that button in the back is a pain - but it is what it is It "froze" at first just once in a while but as time went on almost 3-6 times a week. It had a hard time staying connected to my INTERNET connection, now considering I have other computers, TV's that use the same Comcast INTERNET I assume my router and wifi are OK since they do not have issues. I could never get the MOTOPRINT to work, one of the reasons I wanted this tablet, so I just purchased a new printer that should work better with it, we'll see. But right now I cannot because I was having some problems charging. Sometimes I would get a message saying that I needed to use the cord that came with the tablet or it would charge slower [only plug I had was the one that came with it so I had no idea what it was talking about]. Finally it stopped charging so now I cannot turn it on at all
So I went to Verizon and I was told they would send a board for me to use to and I was to use that box to send back my tablet,it would be about 5 business days till I got the box. It was a holiday and I figured it would be longer. To shorten this part-I was given wrong info. they do not give replacement tablets when they are fixing them so I am out my tablet while it is being fixed, What I'm worried about is the fact that that I have pictures on that tablet that I have not moved over, Apps that I have not backed up, music I downloaded from other than Google and Amazon, which I purchased - So there is a good chance I will lose everything. I am not a happy camper. I looked up every problem and did all the fixes as they were available - but I can't fix this.
I have had some troubles with my Bionic the past few weeks.I have a Wifi network at home but not in my Office or car.I will keep the Bionic's Wifi at home on all the time,but will turn it off whne I leave.Many times when I will either walk into another place of buisness or just get a text message when the Wifi is off,it will turn the Wifi on.So,it's searching for Wifi and taking the battery life down as well.I have taken the battery out with the Wifi on and rebooted.

I have been using Zumocast, but that's only a one way deal. You can stream and download files from PC onto the Bionic, but not vice versa.Also, I tried to download a 1.4 gig mp4 file but it doesn't fully download, and makes my notification area on my Bionic force close and the whole phone just wigs out and requires a reboot. So Zumocast needs to do some updates in order to support large file transfer.
Anyway, I am looking for a way to transfer files from my phone to my computer(s) wirelessly. I don't always have my USB cable around.
Im having the same issue as a lot of other people (so i read). Mine has progressively gotten worse. My data connection shows active (sometimes it doesnt) but I cannot transfer data. After multiple restarts/battery pulls, i have data connection but NO app will transfer data except the web browser and dolphin. Even Gmail will not sync. So i can surf the web, but cant check my gmail app, pageonce, etc, etc. Wifi/bluetooth work fine. MOST of the time I can still text / make calls but not always.
I am hesitant to do a factory reset as the last time i did this, it did not change the problem and i was stuck with nothing because i had no data connection to connect to my google account with (nor wifi, i was on vacation).
I can get a 4G signal rarely in home. At work and mobile I am usually 4G.I expect to be on 4G for a few years (5G anytime soon?) and was thinking of spending $$$ on a Wilson repeater to pick up 4G with a directional antenna and amplifier for home: url...I am a licensed Amateur Radio operator and the principals involved seemed sound to me.Also, does anyone know how to put the Bionic into Field Test Mode?
