    Retrieving MEID of lost phone

    I recently lost my Droid 4, but I have Asurion coverage on it, so I'm filling out the claim to get a replacement. However, the claim requires you to report the MEID of your lost phone (presumably so they can add it to their "blacklist"). Seeing as I no longer have the phone, does anyone know...

    GO Keyboard + Droid 4 physical keyboard incompatibility

    You should get the basic gist of it from the title, but if not, here goes. I switched to the GO Keyboard to get emoji support and it works beautifully, but when I slide out my Droid 4's physical keyboard, it won't take any input. I have to long press the text field, click Input Method, then...

    Pulled battery early, hosed apps

    I was doing a routine battery swap just before running out the door today, during which I usually power down and remove the battery, put another one in, turn it on, and get on with my life. Today, however (and this is about the 3rd time I've done this), the phone was feeling a little sluggish I...

    Transporting a desktop between houses

    Not sure if this should be a Lounge or Computers & IT post, but someone can move it if I'm wrong. It's upgrade time, and I really don't want another laptop. I wanna go desktop, seeing as I can pretty much double (maybe even triple) the performance for the same price. Trouble is, my parents...

    About remote access to a wired surveillance system

    I work at a restaurant, where the owner maintains a fairly complex (and quite impressive) surveillance system. It's more for keeping an eye on the workers than on the customers. The cameras are all wired (that is, the cords go into the walls), and all are combined in the restaurant office...

    Apps EditText's default text

    There's probably a quick answer to this one, but here goes: When you're composing a new text message and click on the "Tap to compose" box, you can see in the box the words "Tap to compose" in light gray, but they're only there when the box is empty. I'm calling it the EditText's...

    Apps Deleting an SMS as soon as it's received

    I know it may sound malicious, but trust me, it's not. It's for personal use only. The reason is, I get SMS updates from ESPN during every Phillies game, but I'd like to "turn them off" while I'm watching the game, so I only get updates when I'm away from the TV. I was just going to have a...

    Having a laptop and desktop

    I'm a little split about what to do for a new computer. I have a laptop that I use at a desk (with an additional monitor), but I'm thinking of replacing it soon. Here's the 2 scenarios I've come up with: Buy a new laptop and trash the old one Buy a desktop as my primary computer and use...

    Apps String arrays are saving as int arrays

    It's probably something stupid that I'm overlooking, but nevertheless it's frustrating (and confusing) the crap outta me. I declared a string-array in my res/values/strings.xml file, but when I try to reference it in code, it says it's of type 'int' and can't be converted to a string. R.java...

    I'm new to Android....

    Hi guys, I figured I'd introduce myself, as I'm new here and will probably be around for a while. I've been programming for quite a while now, but Android just recently got me started in Java (which, quite honestly, I wish I'd have learned earlier), and you can probably expect a couple of...
