    Help How to get free Wifi Hotspot?

    First, I just want to say it's highway robbery to want to charge someone a second time to use the data they are already paying for - I mean what a rip. One of the reasons I did not hesitate to buy the S2 is because it even mentioned Wifi Hotspot in the phone's features. I figured that meant...

    Greetings all. I recently found I have a similar problem that others are having, namely the media player (a2dp) not autoconnecting over bluetooth to the headunit. In my case, I could get the phone and the media to pair and connect to my headunit but any subsequent tries only the phone would...

    Root Will Gingerbread (if forced on me) mess up my current apps?

    If VM pushes an update to our Optimuses of Gingerbread, how will that affect the apps and settings I already have on my rooted phone? I don't want VM pushing this on me and forcing me to make a ton of changes just to get back to where I am now. Thoughts?

    Can't install Google Quick Search

    Greetings all. I believe I have a question that is not dependent on my phone or carrier. I am running Android 2.2.1 on a rooted phone. Recently I screwed up my google search, you know the search that pops up when you hit the physical search button on your phone. I believe this app is...

    I just discovered something great! Many of the apps that App2SD could not move to my SD card, Titanium Backup did! (My phone is rooted). I find this to be a great discovery and it's helped me make a lot more room in my phone's memory.

    I love Swype but it keeps freezing on me. I have the version that came with the phone and I'm not sure if there is an update or what. Does anyone have a clue? The way I've "fixed" it in the past only works for a day or so - go into Manage Applications - Swype - Clear Data. My version...

    My Swype on the Optimus V keeps freezing on me after about 6 weeks of use. I can change back to the Android keyboard just fine, switch again to the Swype keyboard and it locks after a minute. Any ideas? I love Swype and I just want it to work. Thanks!

    Thumbs way up for Juicedefender!

    I finally tried Juicedefender out of sheer desperation to get more battery life out of my Optimus. It works! I have it in default mode and from 5AM this AM to now, 1:30, I am still at 82% battery life - that's 8.5 hours and yes I've been using the phone off and on all day. This time...

    Help Butt dialing

    I swear I have never had so much trouble with a phone. Now it seems that even though I have the screen lock activated (I guess they come that way) I end up butt dialing people. I just now did a usb sync and I had a few "movies" I must have butt recorded. I have also found times when...

    Help Pbxes.org vs others?

    I have a pbxes.org account and use CSipSimple for VOIP and I've used Sipdroid also. My question is this: the call quality just isn't where I'd like it to be or think it could be. Is call quality dependent on pbxes.org and perhaps I should try another SIP provider (is there another free one?)...

    CSipSimple

    I just wanted to post my success with CSipSimple as a sip/voip app. I had used Sipdroid for a week or so and it was very rough around the edges. In a desire to find something better, I went through about five programs that promise to do the same thing. I'm here to report that CSipSimple is...
