    Help SMS compose message keyboard focus bug

    When I click the envelope button by a contact why is the keyboard focus not immediately placed into the text area where you want to enter text? Is this an Android thing or an Atrix thing? Is this configurable? If there is no good reason for this it seems like just one more of those niggling...

    Help How do you delete a phone number of a contact? SOLVED!

    Why is this not "obvious"? Can it even be done? Can you modify a contacts tele number? Geez, I must be one really stupid MF as I can't find a way to do any of the above. Edited to add: Ok, Ok, I am one stupid MF, you have to edit the contact. Seems to me that android has taken a step...

    Help Issues with being on hold with speaker phone enabled.

    When the screen goes blank during a long hold waiting for someone I can't simply touch the screen to talk to them. Also, the speaker phone's microphone is disabled when the screen blanker kicks in. That is you can hear them but they can't hear you. I'd find that acceptable if I only...

    Something I don't understand about Samsung.

    Seems like the entire world is going gaga over Samsung. I read everywhere that they are taking the world by storm with their TV's, cell phones and soon with their Android pads. The debacle of the Galaxy phones must be a fluke otherwise you'd be seeing them lambasted in the press. Even boards...

    I followed through, I returned my Captivate.

    Over the GPS and to a lessor extent the 4 buttons being too hard to use. Good luck to everyone with the GPS optimizations that are supposed to be delivered in Sept. I'm thinking Streak! Naw, that is stuck with pre-2.x Android. Hmmmm.....

    Why the cards are stacked against the Android.

    UP front just let me say I "hope" the Android stomps Apple. That said, I think it will have a rough time of doing so. Why? Well, for one the primary purveyor of Android does not derive a primary source of income from their efforts. Second, the companies providing Androids have no real reason...

    I swapped my Captivate for a new Captivate, and bought two iPhone 4's 2Day

    The new Captivate's GPS works no better, it remains to be seen if it shuts off randomly like the 1st one. So, my wife and daughter where standing there and wanted new phones. When we walked in I thought they might get HTC Aria's. But, they picked up an iPhone and the GPS locked rock solid in...

    Samsun tech support chat, what's up?

    I logged in to check my build date on my phone, I recall seeing it when I registered my IMEI number but did not record it.

    Global data pollution

    Odd attitude by ATT over Captivate GPS problems.

    OK, I purchased a Captivate Fri and shortly found that I too have problems with GPS. So I spent time on the phone with tech support this weekend and they acknowledge that a general GPS problem seems to exist. However, she would only talk about GPS in the context of use with ATT Nav. And...
