    Best Android QWERTY Bar phone?

    Hei, I'm looking for the best phone that is available now or coming soon which is a bar style phone with a physical QWERTY. Not slide-out type, but the Blackberry style type. I really text a lot, with one hand, and I really like (and miss) my Blackberry, however I enjoy Android and would...

    Nexus S vs. Optimus Black

    Which one of these 2 phones you guys think it's better? I mean, they have identical specifications. I think the Optimus Black is better looking. Optimus Black can also expand it's memory via an SD Card to 32 GB. Optimus Black can also shoot 720p HD videos, not sure about Nexus S. Optimus...

    gTalk problems... annoying ones.

    So I have this awkward problem with gTalk. Let's say I talk with someone on gTalk on the mobile. If I open up the laptop or if I'm already online on the laptop and start chatting there then the phone stops buzzing me with new messages. It knows that I'm now on the laptop. However, this only...

    Guys, I can't find Google Maps and Google Plus on the market. I thought it's the phone so I installed market enabler, still nothing. I'm now online, on the web market, and I still can't find them, all filters are off. Can you find them? Can you think of anything about why I'm unable to...

    Picasa problem

    Hei. Quick question here: is there a way to sync only particular picasa albums with my phone? I mean it seems like it doesn't matter if you set them public, private, or anyone with the link etc. because they just show up in my phone and I don't want some of the albums to show up. Not because...

    Password Keeper

    Hei, I'm looking for a password keeper that actually integrates with the phone like LastPass. I would totally use LastPass but it only integrates with the browser. I need one that integrates with the actual apps (like filling up my e-mail password or at least letting me copy it). I need...

    How much it takes to recharge?

    How much it takes for your phone to recharge? I feel there's something bad with my phone. You see, I'm a BlackBerry former and my Bold 9000 used to recharge from 0 to 100 in about 90 minutes. My LG Optimus P500 recharges in about 5 hours. Maybe more. Is it the phone or the Android system...

    GMail

    Well, I just found out that Gmail doesnt actually have push. If you disable "Sync" you won't get e-mail. Sync is not push, Sync means polling. Which sucks. I have to leave sync open just for that, and so all the apps get to sync which is NOT OK. I also found out that Yahoo Mail has true...

    Multi-protocol with push?

    Like the title is saying, are there any multi-protocol messengers with true push capabilities (not push to e-mail WTH)? I'm looking for one who would work much like Gtalk or YMessenger. Trillian seems nice, but it pushes to e-mail and it doesn't connect to yahoo for me, for some reason.

    Gmail, Gtalk, YMess, YMail

    So like the the title says, is there any.... harm to the battery (I don't really trust the battery info, it's too play-ish and not enough info, just "Android OS" "Android System" bah) keeping this open? I mean Gtalk and Gmail use push right? I can have them open all the time. Also, Ymail...

    Tasks, tasks, Tasks....

    Anyone knows of a good app that makes accessing tasks more easily? I mean they could integrate them with the damn Calendar already, it's been over a year, and nothing. Another thing: Scratchpad, there's auto-sync between a Chrome app and Google Docs but no way in hell a nice app to make it...

    Terminal app

    So I rooted my phone, installed the terminal, managed to remove some bloatware and then rebooted. Decided to remove some more but now if I try to remove anything it gives me "permission denied: read-only filesystem" - even though I'm su in it. WTH?

    Same old issue - Battery - with a twist

    The battery drain is incredible. 1% each 10 minutes. Without using the phone. My battery log says the top 2 using them are Google Maps (40%) and Skype (27%). I've uninstalled Skype but have no idea what to do about Google Maps - I don't use it, I don't open it, I'm logged out of Latitude, I...

    This is about Skype...

    First of all, Skype consumes too much battery. Second, it eats away data like cake. Third: Theres Yahoo Messenger with Voice and Video which uses push and doesn't eat any battery or any data if it's in the background, but you're still online and can receive calls and whatnot. So, Skype for...
