Default What software is responsible for this? (Grrr.)

Every time I plug my Bionic into the computer, it goes to a Verizon Media Manager website.

What software is responsible for this sh*t???

The phone drivers. If you look down in your system tray for an icon with the Motorola icon, right-click it, then go to "When Device Connects...", then click Do Nothing.

Right click on the blue Moto icon in the system tray, then find the option where it says "When this device connects" and change it to "Do Nothing"

Edit: 3 seconds too late.

I know on my old Fascinate, computers that I had not installed drivers on, would do the same thing. However on this phone, I installed the drivers before plugging the phone in for the first time and it hasn't done it. Guess it doesn't really answer your question but just something I had also noticed.

I have all the drivers installed but I don't seem to have that icon in my system tray?

Also, the phone needs to be in a USB connection mode, not just a charging mode.

That was easy enough...

Thanks!

Don't understand why they need to spam the user as soon as they get the phone.
