    GPS and navigation?

    Hi, anyone want to comment on how well the GPS works on this phone for satnav? Having struggled along for two years with the HTC One X with pretty much non-functional navigation this is my biggest reservation with upgrading to the M8. I've already seen one review saying it is a bit laggy.

    Warning - don't let it discharge too far!

    Hi all, Last night my phone was sitting by itself getting very low on charge, as it always does by the end of the day. I heard a plaintiff bleep from it, but I ignored it because I was busy. When I did get to look at it, it had turned itself off. Fine, I thought, I'll put it on the charger...

    Root Phone wiped?

    Hi, I rooted my phone a couple of months ago, just so that I could use the Link2sd app and get a reasonable number of apps onto it. I still use the standard ROM. I've got S off, and hboot is 0.93.0001.. Today I turned the phone off. When I turned it back on it had apparently reset...

    Instantly filing photos?

    Hi, I would like to be able to take a photo and immediately be given the choice of which folder to put it in, rather than having all photos automatically dumped in the same folder and then having to retrospectively move them around. Is there any camera app that can do this, or any other...

    Podcast problems

    Maybe I'm misunderstanding the point of podcast apps, but the ones I've used seem to lack basic functionality which I would expect. I've currently got both DoggCatcher and Google Listen on my HTC Desire. All I want them to do is to download some BBC radio subscriptions so that the audio files...

    Root Getting more space: link2sd?

    Hi all, All I'm really trying to do here is make more space for apps. I'm a fairly basic user, I'm not especially interested in different ROMs, the only reason I've gone through the rooting process is to install link2sd. I used the unrevoked method, and I now have the superuser icon in my app...

    Handcent LED colours on Desire

    Hi, Has something changed with Handcent? On my Desire a few weeks ago it used to be reliable at showing SMSs with the LED colour which I'd assigned to special contacts. Now I find that when I'm charging the phone (and the red LED is therefore on to show it's charging) the LED colours for...

    Restoring apps from SD card?

    So my phone (HTC Desire) has been off for repair (its proximity sensor failed). Now it's back, and of course has had a factory reset, so is empty. I'm trying to get back to where I was with it. I have a lot of apps on the SD card, which obviously are still there. But the phone doesn't seem to...

    Cloud bookmarks and Firefox

    Hi, can anyone recommend a way of syncing web bookmarks between a PC and Android? I had a look at Delicious, but it is slated by its users.

    Got To Do problem: Hotlist and start dates

    Hi, I'm trying to get along with Got To Do, the to-do list program. I'm having a problem with its hotlist though. I've got it set to sync with Toodledo online. But there are items showing in the Got To Do hotlist which don't show up in the Toodledo equivalent. (They're in the Toodledo database...

    Pimlical diary software released for Android

    This has been mentioned in a couple of threads, but definitely deserves a thread of its own. Good news for anyone looking for a serious diary app. Pimlical Screen Shots Pimlico Software home page

    Only 55mb available for apps?

    I have a Desire on Vodafone. For some time I've been bumping along the ceiling, with regular out-of-space messages. What's odd is that sometimes I install an app, find that I'm now out of space, delete it, but find that the out-of-space icon is still there! The only way to get rid of it is to...

    Jorte notification sound

    Hi, I use Jorte for my diary. I can't say I'm bowled over by it, but it seems to be the best of a pretty mediocre set of diary apps for Android! My current problem is the notification alarm. By default I seem to have a very pathetic "bing". In fact I can barely remember what it sounds...

    Memento database import

    Hi all, I've been playing around with Memento, and in particular seeing if it can be used to import a database of memos from my old Palm OS system. It should be pretty simple. The memos will just have two fields: category and memo text. I've set up a library in Memento ready to take the memos...

    App to preserve ringer state through reboot?

    Hello, I'm using an HTC Desire, a bad choice apparently! Like many other Desires mine has developed the fault of shutting down and rebooting at random. It does this ten or twelve times a day. The solution is to send it back to HTC under warranty. However, according to the thread on the Desire...

    Help Phone takes itself out of silent mode

    Hi, My phone has a really annoying habit. Every night before I go to sleep I switch it to silent mode. But if a call or a text message comes through overnight it vibrates. The next morning I find that the phone is now in vibrate mode. I did have Foxy Ring installed, although it was not...

    Juice Defender: notification bar

    Hi, I must have done something to Juice Defender, because over the last couple of days I have had an icon for it sitting permanently in my notification bar (under the "ongoing" heading). As far as I can see it's just telling me that Juice Defender is on. I never had that before. It's kind of...

    Assigning photos directly to a folder?

    I have to say that I don't find Android's photo management intuitive. Having got to the bottom of how to set up folders for photos, what would be very useful would be to be able to choose which folder photos get put in as they are taken, rather than having to tinker about with a file management...

    SMS delivery time?

    Hi all, I use Handcent for text messaging. On previous non-smart phones I've been able to see not only that an SMS has been delivered, but also the time when it got delivered (ie when the recipient turned on their phone or whatever). Handcent will tell me whether or not it's been delivered...

    Sending multiple pics by bluetooth

    Hi, is there an easy way to send a batch of photos to my PC by bluetooth? I've just done some through the album app, but I had to do them one at a time which was painful. Ideally I'm looking for an interface where you can select the pics by thumbnail and then tell the phone to transfer all the...

    24 hour weather forecasts: UK

    Is there an app that will provide 24-hour forecasts? In other words if it's 11am, I want to know how the weather pan out over the day. Maybe it will start raining at 3pm and dry up again by 8pm. Weatherbug seems to be the weather app that everyone swears by, but as far as I can see it doesn't...

    Help Very strange calendar behaviour since froyo update

    I downloaded the update yesterday evening, and today I've noticed something pretty weird in my calendar. On the phone (HTC Desire) every day is stuffed full of dozens of repeating appointments, mainly birthdays. These are set to recur not just on the day they should be on, but on every day of...

    Making its own calls

    Well it's 1am, I've taken my phone from my pocket and found that the screen is on and it's two minutes into a call to a friend of mine who called me earlier in the evening! This seems to happen regularly. The calls are always to the person who last called me. I think it happens when I've been...

    Jorte users: any way to set default calendar?

    I've been using Jorte, and like it, but I seem to have some across a deal-breaker. When entering an appointment from the phone, if you just click on "new event", key in the event, and press "done" it puts the event into "My calendar" by default. "My calendar" seems to be something stored only...
