    Help Stock Mail App - Only Check Manually?!?

    Hi, I'm trying to use the stock Mail app to check my work POP3 email. I only want to read it on occasion when away. So I set the account up and put 'Manual' as the sync setting for both peak and regular times. But even though I don't open the app or ask it to download new messages, I still get...

    Hi, I'm looking for anyone with experience using a Bluetooth Headset to receive Google Navigation prompts properly on a Droid Incredible (running 2.3.4). I just purchased a Motorola HX550, which is pretty new and highly rated. But the Navigation voice prompts get cutoff at the beginning...

    Bluetooth Headset - Navigation Audio Cutoff

    Hi, I have a Droid Incredible and just bought a new Motorola HX550 headset to use with it. When using the Google Navigation feature (A2DP compatible), the first few words/syllables of the navigation are cutoff so I only hear the end of the instruction. Of course if the begging words are turn...

    Users Guide (or What's New) for 2.3??

    Hi, I've had a good ol' Droid Eris since they came out a couple years ago. I just bought a used Incredible, though, to hold me over until something I really want comes out. So my Eris is running Android 2.1 (a rooted version, but basically stock with Sense). I just got the Incredible and...

    Root Not Receiving Texts

    I rooted and installed xtrSense a month or two ago. Recently I've found out that I'm not receiving text messages at times. I'm trying to figure out the patterns, but its a bit tough. They at from people on iPhones/AT&T but also Verizon users sometimes. It may be only people replying to texts...

    Root Browser Crashes on Launch - xtrSense

    Hi, my stock browser used to crash immediately upon launch, no matter where it was being launched from. So I always have to start the browser twice. But I recently rooted and went with xtrSense. At first it all seemed smoother, but after a few days, it's back to crashing on launch again...

    2.1 and HTC Sync

    So I'm waiting with everyone else for the pending upgrade to 2.1. But I've heard it wipes all of your internal memory to install. This is a bummer (like reinstalling everything after a hard-drive reformat). But all of my contacts and calendar items are synced with Outlook 2007 on my computer. I...

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone has figured out yet what the best resolution and/or aspect ratio is for custom contact photos?

    GPS/GoogleMaps Losing Me...

    Hi, after working well for the first month or so, it looks like GPS is not working very well for me. I'm not sure what changed.

    Mobile Data Randomly Turning Off

    Hi, I've recently been having an issue where my Mobile Data randomly does not work. When I go to settings, it is checked as enabled. I have to uncheck and recheck this to get it to 'turn back on' or refresh. I haven't been able to see a pattern yet for why it's turning off, but it seems to...

    Keyboard/Typing Lag

    Hi, is it common that the default keyboard and input method is a bit slow and lags pretty heavy behind typing? It seems like the Eris can't keep up w my typing and it causes delays and issues when typing messages, etc. Not sure if its the haptic feedback or the correcting, but its frustrating...

    Hi, just wondering if the Droid Eris is known to have some issues with 3G coverage/reception? My Eris seems to switch back to 1x quite a lot, and isn't able to load YouTube videos or other things that need the connection sometimes, or is just horribly slow. Has been happening in various...

    Mini USB Adapter?

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows of an adapter that will convert the proprietary HTC USB interface (is this Mini USB?) to a standard Micro USB so I can use all of my existing adapters and chargers? Why can't manufacturers adhere to one standard??? My Omnia was even worse, had to buy special...

    Hi, I have a new Droid Eris and have been having a really hard time finding apps that I read about in different places.

    Help Think Anything Can be Done to Strengthen Vibrate?

    Wondering if there are any creative ideas/hacks/apps that can make the vibration on the Eris even a little more noticeable?!?

    Text Message Threads Merging Together

    Hi, I'm trying to figure out why my text message 'conversations' are merging so that they get lumped under one main 'person'? I've only had the phone a couple days, so not a ton of messages yet. But a couple of times now, all messages have gotten 'lumped' together under one user, regardless...
