    GoSMS Pro -- Hacking the User Settings

    I like GoSMS Pro except for the fact that on my rooted Samsung Droid Charge (Gummy 2.0 Gingerbread) it won't suppress showing the text of the incoming private messages on the status bar, unless I turn off all forms of notification for the private box and for each individual in the private box...

    Can't Find Samsung Extended Battery Anywhere

    I can't find any Samsung brandextended capacity batteries (2600 mAh) batteries to buy anywhere. Lots of sites have them for sale -- until you try to buy, then you find that they're out of stock. They're not on the Samsung website anymore. VerizonWirless doesn't have them. Is the phone being...

In my home I have >1 tb of video stored for the family and tv in the house has a network media streamer (the poorly named Popcorn Hour streamer). I was hoping to setup something similar for the...

    Not All Files on Charge Visible from PC when Connected via USB

    I have a Samsung Droid Charge on Verizon. When I connect it via USB cable to a PC running Windows XP or one running Windows 7 (64bit), it shows me only some of the files. For example, my SD card has a folder \Music\. Under \Music\ are about 300 folders (one per artist). In each artist folder is...

    Help Green and Orange Dots on Some SMS Threads?

    I'm just getting used to my new Samsung Droid Charge. Mostly I like it better than the Droid-X that it replaced, but a few things are confusing or irritating. For example, I cannot for the life of me guess why some of my SMS threads/conversations are marked with a green dot, some with an orange...

    Help Market won't download app updates since Gingerbread installed

    The official Verizon Gingerbread update was pushed down to my Droid-X yesterday. Since it installed (and despite >10 reboots), the "Market" app will not download, much less install, any updates to any of my installed apps. It shows dozens of them in need of updates, and all of them are in a...

    The backlight of my Droid-X will not turn off. The screen goes black in 60 seconds, as it is supposed to, but the light source around the rim of the screen is clearly lit.

    Opening A Webpage Served on a NON-STANDARD PORT

    Is there a way to open a webpage (using any browser) which is served on a non-standard port? The default port for webpages is 80. All browsers assume port 80 unless told otherwise. However, I need to open a page on a non-standard port (in this case, port 82). When I try to open http://[IP...

    To All Moderators: It's well and good that we have separate forums for each tablet model, but we really need a general forum for discussion which doesn't apply to any particular model (or to many models). Pretty Please.

    Any Dual-Camera Ph at Verizon BY MARCH 11 besides iPhone?

    I'm leaving weekend on a long trip. I'd really like to have some sort of video chat capability for the trip. My Droid-X has only one camera. My contract with Verizon is not up for a long time.

    Help Screen Goes BLACK but Backlight Remains ON

    Occasionally the screen of my Droid-X goes black, which, of course, it is supposed to do after the timeout period expires (in my case, 30 seconds). What is weird is that if I'm in a fairly dark room, I can see that while the screen is black, the backlight is still on. I can't imagine why anyone...

    Automatic Photo Slideshow in Home Dock Mode (like a pc screensaver)

    I bought the Motoroloa "Multimedia Dock" for my Droid X. To my surprise, it cannot -- that I can find -- automatically start running a slide show of my chosen source of photos as soon as it is put in Multimedia Dock Mode (when it senses the magnet on the back). I want a slide show of...

    Seeking A Better PDF Reader

    I've tried BeamReader Pro/paid, QuickOffice free and Adobe's Android Acrobat Reader. All have problems. Acrobat Reader and QuickOffice free do not have the ability to search a PDF. BeamReader Pro can search a document, but won't make use of an embedded index, so searches are slow, even on...

    I have tried the default music player that is installed with the Droid-X.

    I just bought a SanDisk 32gb microSDHC card to replace the 16gb which came with my Droid-X. I have explored it some using the Astro free file browser found in the Android Market. It seems that the filesystem is some form of Linux/Unix (EXT/EXT2/EXT3). How can I copy everything from the...

    I need a decent voice dictation recording application that will run on my Droid-X. About the only thing I've found is a horrible app called Dictosyl by a French company caled Sylpheo. What I really want is an Android version of Dictamus for the iPhone/iPod Touch by Jotomi. Dictamus has all...
