So a regular laptop USB port or an off-brand charger may not be able to charge the phone as fast as the OEM Motorola charger. text/html 2013-01-08T19:00:00-04:00 http://ko4bb.com/doku2015/doku.php?id=android:boot_in_safe_mode&rev=1357689600&do=diff Booting in Safe Mode Safe Mode boots with the minimum set of programs.

I could not get it to reliably fetch mail from the various email accounts I have, and it just about refused to send mail under any circumstance. I googled the problem and it is widespread. The best alternative appears to be a free mail client called K-9 Mail. text/html 2017-05-28T16:28:39-04:00 http://ko4bb.com/doku2015/doku.php?id=android:disable_captive_portal_detection&rev=1496003319&do=diff Disable Captive Portal Detection By default, when connected to a WiFi access point, Android checks to see if the Internet is accessible. It does that by trying to connect to the Google site. If it cannot connect to the Google servers, it marks the WiFi connection (by putting an X or ! near the WiFi icon in the notification bar) so that it will not automatically connect to it, choosing instead a network that has internet connection. text/html 2017-05-29T10:53:07-04:00 http://ko4bb.com/doku2015/doku.php?id=android:lag-free_drone_control&rev=1496069587&do=diff Lag-free Drone Control on Android from DJI's forum (edited): IMPORTANT !

First try to boot into Recovery. To do this, first turn it off. If you can't get it to turn off, press and hold both the power and volume down and wait until the screen goes black (this can take more than 10 seconds). text/html 2013-01-12T19:00:00-04:00 http://ko4bb.com/doku2015/doku.php?id=android:sd_card_path&rev=1358035200&do=diff SD Card Path The default path for the SD card in the Droid Razr with Ice Cream Sandwich is: /mnt/sdcard-ext/ The Android “root” directory on the Droid Razr actually is /mnt/sdcard/, not particularly intuitive. text/html 2017-06-18T17:12:27-04:00 http://ko4bb.com/doku2015/doku.php?id=android:structure_of_an_android_app&rev=1497820347&do=diff Structure of an Android app This is a quick guide explaining the structure and lifecycle of an Android app. There are a lot of tutorials on the Internet explaining how to create apps with various tools, but it took a while to actually understand how apps work.

I found this tip on StackExchange: If your device isn't paired with the phone, but it's still not connecting, you can try clearing your Bluetooth cache.
