    Apps Creating Maps app release version

    I have a Maps app, which is working fine in debug mode. I've followed the steps https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/android-sdk/get-api-key to set up the project, and create the API key - the map displays as intended. When it comes to creating the release build, I'm having no luck...

    Have I fried my phone?

    Hi. I inserted a metal tweezer into the USB port on my Samsung S6, to try and give the port a bit of a clear out from fluff etc, and now the phone appears to be dead, it just won't start. The battery was pretty full at the time. OK, Yes - I know, in retrospect, that this was a pretty daft thing...

    USB file transfer popup

    Hi all. Every time I plug the USB lead into the phone from my laptop, I get a popup asking "Use USB for file transfer?" (Cancel/Yes). This is rather irritating me, and I want it set to be "Yes" by default - do you know if I can set this anywhere? Many thanks.

    Upgrading from M7 - battery comparison?

    Hi all. I have the M7, and love it, not a fault in two years. But I'm due for my contract upgrade, and am looking at all the obvious choices (M8, M9, Z3 etc). The M9 is standing out, simply because it's an improvement on the M7 which I love. But the one thing that I keep reading is that the...

    Help choosing new phone

    Hi all. Sorry, I expect there are rather a lot of these questions here! But after 2 years (very happy 2 years with my Motorola Atrix) I'm now allowed an upgrade. This is the choice I have, all free for me so there's no cost implications. My priorities are 1) battery life 2) performance...

    Help Recent battery drain

    Hi guys, hope there are still people around here. After being fine for a couple of years, my Nexus one suddenly failed to hold charge for more than a few hours, and that was just sitting idle with the screen off. I checked the battery processing, and the 'idle' process was 99%. So I bought a...

    MotoBlur accounts

    Hi all. I have to send my Atrix back to Motorola for some servicing. Before I hand it over, I'm trying to remove/backup as much of my own data as possible. One thing I can't seem to clear is the contacts data. I'm not too worried about that, but just wondered how the MotoBlur accounts work. I...

    Hi. I had some videos, which I deleted manually while the device was mounted on my PC. Now, the gallery app still thinks those videos exist, they still show up. Of course, when you click on one of them, it says it can't play it (because it doesn't exist) but it still think it's there. I've been...

    Help I can't hear you

    When I'm making phone calls on my Atrix people can't hear me properly. They say it sounds like I'm speaking from under the bed clothes! If I put the phone on Speaker, they can hear me fine, but as soon as I switch it back again it's just the same. Any ideas what could be the problem?

    Help Nexus One seems to have died...

    Hmm. My phone seems to have died today. First, it froze. So I removed the battery and restarted. It got to the startup logo (the coloured cross symbol) and hung there.

    I have a technical issue which means I can't install from the market. If there's an app I need, is there a way I get hold of the .apk file another way, and then install it after sending it to my email account?
