That's pretty dumb. Maybe take it to a Verizon store and see if they can take care of it unless you feel comfortable taking the phone apart. At the worst maybe they'll replace it?

Yeah. Like I said it's not really the end of the world, just kind of an annoyance. Someone posted to that guy's message the sticker is there as a "dimmer" of sorts for the LED light but I guess it does it's job a little too well. Currently I have it set so every 5 min if I haven't read a text it vibrates again. None of my texts/emails are that important anyways haha.

So just realized my upgrade is in October and not December like I orginally thought... anyone know of any new phones that might be out around then and have some info on them? Bionic is sweet though and I might end up just getting that especially if the price drops a little.

I imagine the heats would be a huge drain on the battery. Not sure though.

Are you in Fremont or Fostoria? I think its one of those but don't remember correctly.

Anyway, I was driving through Fostoria last Saturday to a scramble and had LTE in parts of town.

Its cool :P. I figure I will have 4G when I'm in Findlay anyway so its not that big of a deal. Really wish the 4G would come to Findlay or BG then I probably would get it for sure but doubt that happens anytime soon.

Yeah I haven't been in BG since I got my phone but Toledo's signal is supposed to reach down that far. Findlay would be a good spot for the next expansion in the area.

Eh I rarely ever go to BG but hopefully Lima's signal will reach up to Findlay lol. And idk if Findlay would it since its in Lima. Tiffin probably wouldn be a good place for the next expansion though.

According to the LTE coverage map, I live in a covered area but do not have 4G. I have to drive about 5 minutes west and I am covered.

Not really complaining though, since 4G really chugs battery

That sucks. How bad is the 4G on battery life? You have the Bionic correct?

What's the best app for rebooting? Blackberry has QuickPull which you could set to reset your phone once a day to free memory, etc. I searched the market and found Fast Reboot and Fast Reboot premium which allows you to schedule a daily reset. Any other suggestions?
