    Popup to control music player

    I've got a Samsung Gio running Captive, with Android 2.3 beneath. I'd like a way to control the music player with a popup, that appears when you doubleclick the home button (yeah, I'm a former iPhone user). Is there an Android equivalent for this iPhoneish shortcut way to control music playing?

    Cheap car or AC chargers causing wonky touchscreen

    Hi guys, Two days ago, I connected my Samsung Gio to a cheap no-brand car charger. This charger used to work fine with my older iPhone 3G. When I disconnected it an hour later, the touch screen acted weird. It wouldn't respond to my tapping, or it would register the tap but think I tapped...
