    Help Google maps caching?

    Is it possible for me to save maps offline so I can use the directions with the GPS without data? When I leave work I don't have any data for a few miles so I'm unable to use navigation because it can't find the driving directions. Can anyone help?

    Root How to share files wirelessly between V and computer?

    I was wondering what ways I could share files wirelessly between the V and the computer. Is there some app to use? Does ES File Explorer support this? Breaking out the usb cable gets a bit bothersome.

    Root Using BetterBatteryStats?

    I have heard many people say that they use BetterBatteryStats to track the usage of apps and find out which apps are draining battery. However, I don't understand and can't seem to figure out how to use it. I just see ratios and no notice of apps usage. Any help?

    Root Gallery freeze

    So I'd never had a problem with the gallery until maybe two months ago. But now there seems to be a 50/50 chance when I open it and look for a picture that it gets stuck loading thumbnails and freezes. Do you think it has to do with the number of pictures or overclocking or something? I used to...

    Root Which Launcher to Choose?

    Ok so I've been using the ADW launcher that's included in Jerry's BACKside ROM and while I like some of the customization, I don't like the lagginess found in the app drawer. I'm wondering if it's because there are 5 apps per row. Also once in a while I do get force closes. Cammy showed me the...

    Visual voicemail?

    For some reason I just realized that our voicemail sucks. We have to wait for numbers to be read and wait for preceding messages to be spoken until we get to the one we want. The iPhone has visual voicemail and so do phones on other carriers. Does anyone know if there is a good visual voicemail...

    Help google maps navigation

    Just wanted to ask if anyone else dislikes the new(er) navigation. Now rather than guiding you from behind it gives a bird's eye view that makes it harder to tell which direction you need to go. Is there some setting to change this or something? I can't understand why there wouldn't be a lot of...
