    the update. does it cause any glitches/crash with certain apps? especially music apps like btunes.

    So, I have a Transform Ultra without cell service (long story) that I now use as basically an iPod touch. I do this because btunes (the only music app I like) is very glitchy on my phone with service. However, on the TU, it runs perfect, apparently due to it being almost entirely stock android...

    Help Would the Sprint version of this phone have better service than Boost's version?

    Topic. I actually had the Boost version of this phone, and loved it. But since I had ZERO signal at school, where I spend 80% of the day, I had to switch to t-Mobile after a few weeks. I got the MT4GS, which despite having dual core 1.2ghz and 768 RAM, lags behind this phone, and is buggy as...

    How good is Sugarsync?

    So, I'm notthat pleased with Dropbox. not only does it attempt to hide MY files with the recent downgrades, it still has no auto-sync to device feature. i.e., there's no ability to automatically download folders and contents, like the pc/mac version. you can only "favorite" specific files, and...

    So what are the new Keyboard phones?

    yeah, I have no patience for on screen keyboards, every time I give them a chance they fail waaaaaay too hard. I'm looking to upgrade from the MyTouch 4g slide, since its keyboard is so bad, it's got most of the fatal flaws of touch screens anyway. I know about the Droid 4 and all the others...

    ANyone else having problems with Go Launcher Ex?

    I'm having a problem that causes it to lose the icons of apps on my homescreen, but not the app drawer. it seems to happen to only certain apps, but I'm not sure why only those. I'm wondering because it started on the day that I rooted my phone, AND the app was updated. So I'm trying to figure...

    WOW, Dropbox screwed up BADLY.

    ok so I've been using Dropbox all semester. I thought it was nice but could've been better if it had the PC/Mac version capabilities, like auto-sync on file change, auto uploading anything that gets put into the dropbox folder, or uploading that WORKED more often, etc. So an update comes out...

    Is it common to have a semi-working searchbutton?

    Until recently I had a phone with no search button. this was frustrating, so I rooted and altered the keypad layout file to change the trackball click (a nice bouns feature on phones, it turns out) to launch the search function. However, there was a problem: occasionally, it wouldn't work. not...

    So, I'm really surprised at Tmobile's unsecure business model.

    So I had been on Tmobile quite happily since April. then, this past Wednesday, my phone breaks. so I go in to ask what my options are, pricing on replacing broken phones, etc. I have no insurance (bad move, but nothing I can do about it now) so the only option is to buy a new phone for the...

    whats a good freezing app?

    Looking to freeze some of the bloatware apps on my phone. I bought titanium backup, but then had a market error and had to return it, so now I can't do a trial for the feature and return if it doesn't work. I looked at bloatware frezer, which is cheaper and claims it can freeze some system apps...

    Help problem with apps disappearing with no warning

    In the past week, I've had at least seven apps disappear from my phone. It may have been more than that; I'm only sure of the one that are gone due to the home screen shortcuts having been turned into the default android icons, and when I click those, it says "this application is not installed"...

    So after switching to a Sidekick from the LG Ally, I switched to Go Launcher because I like how much more it can do. only thing I miss from Launcher Pro Plus is the LP Widgets.

    Is there a micro SD slot?

    I just tried a demo phone in the store and it had no micro SD slot. I'm really hoping it was because they cheaped out on just the demo version; does the final retail version have micro sd or not? and if so, is there a max capacity known?
