I have the same issue but like you said they are adults and it's thier education. I find it effective to point out that no one likes their crotch that much so I know their are texting; they can at least have the decency of not trying to hide it like they are in high school. I also find it effective to point out that they would have heard/seen the answer to their question a few slides back if they had not been texting. If behavior like that keeps up, I point out to them that every time they ask a question where an answer has already been given, they are delaying class and their classmates might have a problem with that. I don't mind questions that further the discussion but I don't like repeating myself. I tell the students this the first day of class.
