Okay, I've looked through all posts in this thread and most other threads and here are some of my problems that have yet to be addressed:
Apps open without being told to open - when I use my taskkiller app (Advanced Task Killer), it shows me apps that I haven't opened since turning on the phone today. Apps include Photoshop Mobile and Voice Recorder. Even after I kill the apps, they automatically reopen after a few minutes. What controls how these apps automatically start? I've checked each of the respective programs and there are no autostart settings. How can I stop apps from starting on their own?
Notification Sounds - Is there a way for me to have a different sound effect for different types of notifications? For example, I'd like to have one sound for the USB mounting/connecting and a different sound for incoming text messages. I've tried various ringtone apps but none that I've seen go beyond the basic all-notifications sound.
Homescreen Rotation - Has anybody figured out how to get the homescreen to rotate to landscape without having the keyboard open? Somebody mentioned earlier in this thread and there's been no response. I want to be able to just rotate the screen from the homepage and work horizontally, but i have to open the keyboard to make that happen. As soon as i close the keyboard, the screen reverts back to vertical.
Google Maps Directions - i feel like this is a stupid question, but here we go anyway. I can't get the maps app to give me directions to a location that is pulled up on the map. For example, I'll voice search for Bank of America. It'll show me all of the ones in the area, let's say A, B, C, etc. I want directions to A. How do I do it? If i tap it and then go to settings and "get directions," the destination box is empty and I have to do the entire search process again. How can I get directions to a destination that I've already chosen?
