    Phone Went Back to 2001

    This is no biggie, but one morning some of my apps changed to SD card icons and wouldn't how up when I tried to find them, phone said I didn't have an SD card, everything seemed out of sorts. I called phone support, a nice rep got my SD recognized again, etc. My battery was still draining WAY...

    Help Agps

    I thought I did this yesterday but it's not here. So... Could it hurt to put the app AGPS onto my Epic? My phone always puts me twelve miles north of where I am when I hit Maps. I already have GPS Status but that doesn't seem to help. MerpsMom

    Help Simple Way to Voicedial

    Not a biggie, but my old Samsung Exclaim had the coolest of features: you just slid it open, said "Call Tom", and if "Tom" was in your phone contacts, it then said "Did you say Call Tom? You say, yes, and it dialed him. No looking, no tapping. I have all the voice helpers on my Epic, but you...

    Help Calendar Sync Problems

    I've tried a lot of things but I can't get my Galaxy Epic Touch calendar and Google's on my computer to stay stable. Shouldn't an event show up on both calendars no matter from which I entered it? I've gotten if "fixed" and then it goes back to being unstable. I've gone into the phone's...

    Help Ringtones Keep Slipping to Others

    My Epic doesn't always keep the ringtones I've assigned for things. My default ringtone is Angry Birds and now I'm getting some weird other noise. And I think my chosen notification text sound is not playing sometimes. Am I missing a step here? I go in through settings/sound/default phone...

    Help Rogue Alarm is Hiding from Me

    I was playing around with the voice apps on my Epic a couple of days ago. I asked one of them to set an alarm. Now I have an icon in the notification bar, won't go away, and I can't find the app that created it. I left it alone because it didn't do anything. But now, the danged thing has come...

    Help Using the VideoMaker on the EpicGalaxy

    I just bought my phone two weeks ago and am loving it. But I have some questions about using the video maker app. Should I call Sprint tech support or can someone answer these questions: If I use the VMaker and either "split" or "trim" the video, does the phone keep a copy of the original...

    Help Keeping the Lockscreen up Longer

    Just found this Epic forum and am delighted. I used the EVO 4G forum extensively, but this looks a little different so I'll probably be posting in the wrong places for a bit. Can you keep the lock screen visible longer than the fleeting couple of seconds I have right now? Everything seems to...

    Help EVO won't power off

    I searched the forums but can't find an answer. I turn the phone off at night, it says it's powering off, goes black. But when I push the power on button in the morning, it has never turned off. Looking at how long phone's been on battery confirms it's been on all night. Whassup? and how...

    Help Text Message Threads

    Last question for awhile, promise. Before my reset, I could hit the Message icon and it would bring up my text threads from everyone, one after another, all mixed up. I liked that. Now, it brings up the people's names separately in a box which I then have to open with another click. Can I...

    Help Separate ringtones for Gmail and stock mail

    I used to have separate sounds for Gmail and stock mail. I had to do a reset and now can't figure out how in the world I did that. I've gone into the Gmail app settings when Gmail is open, but there are no options to set a ringtone. If you just go to Sound and set a ringtone for Mail, it's...

    Help EVO calendar addition won't sync with Google One

    Seems I'm not alone. If I add an event through my phone to my Google calendar, it won't show up on the latter. If I add an event through Google calendar from the desktop, it'll show up on the phone's calendar. What's up and why can't it go both ways?? MM

    Help EVO tries to turn on but keeps rebooting

    Turned on the EVO this morning and all it does is keep rebooting. Is this coincidence that Sprint just added a bunch of new users to the network, or is it my phone?? If it's the phone, how do I fix it if it won't turn on? Oh, please, help! MM

    I've tried remedies from previous posts, but nothing works. Why won't Market apps update? Not even one! This is recent so perhaps it's the fault of an update? What do I do? MM

    Help New Battery Problems with Latest Update

    While solving a mechanical issue, Sprint Repair Center updated my phone two days ago. Don't know what that update was but think it was a minor one. My battery has been draining almost twice as fast. Anyone have any reasons why that might have happened with an update? It's been working great...

    Help They Did Hard Reset: I'm Angry

    Do I have a right to be angry about Customer Service doing a hard reset without making it clear they would? My phone's been squirrely since March. Reboots, won't stay on, blah, blah. Misbehaved in the Southwest. I got home, it didn't happen again. Someone said it might be overheating, but it...

    App for Custom Sound Profile?

    I'd like an app to customize sound profiles: e.g., Church would be all noises muted, vibrate on. Normal would be all on at a certain tone level, Golf would be ringer off, notifications and vibrate on, etc. Anyone know of something like this which would operate on a one-touch basis? Nothing...

    Help How do you add stations in Pandora?

    I can't find any way to do this. Can't find any Menu, Prefs, anything that will allow it. My son was able to add one to my account when using my info, but I can't. Help??? Okay, ignore me. I went to pandora.com and figured it out. :)

    Help Which GPS Navigation is best for my EVO?

    I know there are other threads about this, but may I ask a question in a little more detail? My phone misbehaved when I tried using the Yelp, Around Me, and Sprint Navigation while in Arizona. I took it to my repair center when home and the tech told me to avoid using TeleNav (Spring Nav.)...

    Help Grim Sprint Performance in the Southwest

    I was completely crushed at the performance of my EVO while on vacation in the Southwest. It began in Albuquerque when it couldn't find a solid GPS signal, and went down from there. And each time it couldn't find the signal, it turned itself off, only to try again....and again...and you know how...

    Still not sure on the differences between these two things, but I have some widgets with three sizes: small, medium, large. Why have three? And do these widgets drain battery or can I keep them all comfortably? Cathie MM And why can't I keep up on the screen all the previous threads which...

    Help Orientation when shooting video

    Haven't seen this problem yet so here goes. I shot video while holding the phone in portrait mode. When I put the video on my computer, it showed up turned sideways in landscape so I had to turn my head to watch it. Nothing I did could make it rotate back to upright. I finally converted it...
