    help with Better Terminal Emulator Pro

    I'm having a problem with Better Terminal Emulator Pro. I finally figured out how to save pre-configured ssh sessions. The problem is that the app can't seem to do reverse DNS lookups. I have my ssh session set to connect to my dynamic dns name. The problem is that when it tries to connect, it...

    lag with lock screen and keypad on dialer

    Since I got the S5 on Friday, I've noticed that there is often lag to get the lock screen to come up when the phone is asleep (display off). Whether I push the power button or the home button, sometimes it can take 4-5 seconds before the lock screen actually pops up so that I can unlock it. I...

    where to store music files on external SD card

    I would like to transfer some music from my computer to my Galaxy S5's microSD card. I connected via USB and Windows sees the Card device. I navigated to Card > Android > Data > com.google.android.music > files > music and put my music folders in there. However, when I open the Google Player app...

    how to remove tv controls from lock screen

    Last night, I was messing around with the Samsung tv remote control app and got it set up to work with my tv and DirecTV box. Awesome, right? The only problem is that now my lock has giant controls for my tv and DirecTV box. I don't want this on my lock screen. How do I get rid of it? I...

    Can't get hotspot to work

    I went into the hotspot settings earlier and changed the wireless AP name since it was really long and now when I try to turn the hotspot, it fails after a few seconds and says "Checking subscription status" and then says "Data connection not available". I don't get it. I got it to turn on once...

    general question about resolutions/icon sizes

    I was looking at the S4 in the Verizon store yesterday and I know it wasn't running KitKat, but I did notice that when I accessed the contacts or the phone dialer, that it was so huge when it opened that I felt like I need to step back from the phone. Each contact in the list took up nearly a...

    new 2x2 MIMO wireless

    Is anyone else excited about this feature? All the reviews I've seen for this device talk about the bigger battery, the water resistance, the AMOLED screen, the finger scanner, and the heart rate sensor. Occasionally someone will mention the download boost feature, but no one talks about the new...

    writing to SD card

    I like that the S5 has an SD card slot. I've read somewhere (maybe on here) that starting with Android 4.4, apps can't write directly to external storage anymore, nor can you put apps on the external storage (unless you root). I guess this isn't a huge deal as long as the pictures and my music...

    Help should I exchange my Incredible?

    I've had my Incredible for about 3 weeks now and there is one problem with it that really irritates me. I don't get "push" email on my device via the gmail app. I have three gmail accounts setup in the gmail app and all three are sent to automatically sync. However, the time difference between...

    Help messaging is unreliable

    Ok, I'm really getting fed up with the messaging capabilities of this device. I use the gmail app because I want "push" email, although it's not even close to push email as far as I can see. I frequently get emails several minutes after they are sent. That's not new. They never arrive if I...

    Help gmail app crashing like crazy

    I've seen a LOT of apps crashing since I got this phone. In the 2 years I had my blackberry, I never saw a program crash. It seems to be common place with android. A few of my apps crash at random, but lately, my gmail app is crashing consistently, even when I'm not using it. This is...

    Help mobile network won't turn on

    For the past 30 minutes, my Incredible has had zero bars...no 3G and no 1X. I tried to open the web browser and it said no data service could be found and that I needed to enable wifi or the mobile network. I checked the settings for the mobile network and it says "turning on" and it's greyed...

    Help 4 min for push email?

    Is it normal for push email to take 3-4 minutes on an android device? I just sent some test emails from my laptop. They arrived at 6:33 pm and the timestamps show the were sent at 6:29. Maybe I'm just spoiled from having a blackberry because I'm used to push email being immediate, not 3-4...

    good SSH app

    Can anyone in here recommend a good SSH app? I found one called connectbot, but I couldn't figure out how to establish a connection with it since I couldn't find a "login" or "connect" option anywhere within the app. Anyone?

    connectbox SSH app - how to login?

    I've been looking for a SSH app and ran across one in the Android Market called connectbox. It installed just fine on my Droid Incredible. The problem is, I can't seem to find a way to connect to any systems. There is a box at the bottom to select your protocol (SSH, Telnet, etc) and then...

    Help no emails while on WiFi?

    For some reason, I can't receive emails while using WiFi, but I can send/receive texts. I tested this by sending emails from my laptop and having my wife send me emails while I was on WiFi. They never arrived in my Gmail app until I turned off WiFi and went back to 3G. Is it supposed to work...

    How do I get notified when I have a new facebook message? I don't seem to be getting any, but when I use the Facebook app, I can see new messages. I'm coming from a BB Curve where I got actual facebook message notifications when I had a new message or someone replied to a thread that I had...

    How to find your Incredible's MAC address

    My Incredible is still on the charger and will be for a few hours. Since I can't poke around in the settings yet, is there a way to find your MAC address? My WAP is setup with MAC filtering, so I will need to know it for wi-fi to work properly.

    30 day release time or not?

    From all the different dates and info flying around, I was just wondering how many of you really and truly believe the Incredible will be released with 30 days from now. I've become a bit skeptical.
