    Help What's using up my card space?

    When I plug my S3 into my PC's USB port, Windows Explorer shows that the card as only 3.52 GB free out of 14.9. I figured I'd navigate through its file system to see where I could free up some space. (This was after I'd already copied all my photos over to my PC and deleted them from the phone.)...

    Make web browser forget a user name

    When I originally got my current Android phone, in the built-in Web browser I accidentally mistyped my user name when logging into a website I subscribe to. Ever since then, when I go to that page the browser fills the space for my user name in with the original, mistyped name and I have to...

    Mail, download vs. synch

    I replaced my DroidX with a Galaxy S III. I don't get why the mail client is so much worse on the new phone. On the old phone, the client acted as a client. It checked for new messages on the server. It downloaded them. Because it's a mobile device, I configured it with a retention period so it...

    microSD, DroidX to Galaxy S III?

    Can I take the 16GB microSD card out of my DroidX and use it in my Galaxy S III? (Verizon, if it matters.) Will the phone read and use the files on the card after I've downloaded my apps?

    Migrating Android to Android

    I'm planning on turning my DroidX in for a Samsung Galaxy 3 next month (I'm with Verizon), which I guess means I'm going from Android 2.3 to Android 4.something. What do I need to do in advance to simplify the migration and maximize the quick availability on the new phone of all my existing...

    Help Speaker keeps turning on

    When I unplug something from the audio jack, the speaker icon appears in my Droid X's notification bar, and then when I answer a call, the speakerphone is already on and I have to rush to shut it off. How can I keep this from happening? Failing a solution, how can I turn the speakerphone off...

    Help Turning off speaker when not on a call

    Sometimes I have a speaker icon in my notification bar and, when someone calls me, I find that when I answer, the phone begins on speaker mode, which I don't want! It's only recently that this started happening, maybe since the last Android upgrade. How can I keep the phone from starting in...

    Help File system access, Windows 7/Droid X

    With wi-fi access my home network turned on, using ES Files on my Droid X, I can access the file system on my Windows 7 PC. If I used the built-in Files manager on the phone, and try to add my PC as a server, I get the message "Server is not reachable". Why? Meanwhile, on my computer, under...

    Calendar replacement

    I'm missing a couple of calendar features that I had on my Windows Mobile phone that duplicate features of Outlook/Exchange. 1. I'd like to be able copy an existing appointment to other days. 2. I'd like an app that recognizes exceptions created with Outlook in recurring events, and that can...

    If I need to enter an extension after reaching a phone number I've voice-dialed, how can I do that using the voice dialing feature?

    Understanding the PC-USB options

    I was about to write that I didn't quite understand the USB options that are given to me when I click on my USB connection in the Notifications screen when I'm hooked up to my PC. When I switch to "charge only", my Windows Media player still sees what's on the Droid X (Android 2.1), and when I...

    Doesn't synching music delete from the phone?

    I went into the synch area of Windows Media Player and marked a bunch of my music file not to synch any more. So I figured on the next synch of my Droid X (Android 2.1) the corresponding files that were already on the phone would disappear. But they didn't. Shouldn't they? Do I have to go...

    Track order in an album

    On my PC, the file names of all my ripped tunes start with the track number. Even on my downloaded albums, Windows is able to pull the track number for each MP3 file out of the file. So why does my Droid X (Android 2.1) display and play the tunes in alphabetical order by track title? That really...

    Voice Command not bringing up requested playlist

    I launch Voice Command on my Droid X (Android 2.1) and say "Play [name of my playlist]. The synthetic voice responds "Play [name of my playlist]. Loading." It opens the music player. And then stops, without loading my playlist. What's wrong?

    Music going to Bluetooth instead of car radio

    When driving, I have my Droid X's audio output plugged into my car's radio, the radio's source is set to AUX, and my tunes play through the radio. So far, so good. Then I bought the BlueAnt S4 Bluetooth phone device so I can make and receive calls while I'm driving. Also fine--except that now...

    Snoring monitor?

    Is there any app for Android that does what SnoreMonitor does on the iPhone, recording the volume of ambient noise over the course of a night and displaying it as a graph, volume over time?
