    folders - what are they for?

    I have 2.2 on my Orange Desire, but I've never understood folders. Starred, phone etc seem to just give me the same list of people I get when I press the Phone button that's at the bottom of the screen. And I can choose 'new folder' and drag things in, but there's no way of seeing what's in...

    mail: attachments empty

    When an email turns up with an attachment (today a jpeg in one email, and a text file in another), I click on 'view attachment' and see the attachment, but it's listed as being 0KB, which is wrong. The attachment IS there, because I can access it via the gmail app on the phone, and on a laptop...

    shares application which handles funds

    I've checked out a few Android apps which let you keep an eye on the prices of shares (or `stocks` as they're sometimes called, especially by Americans). But none of them let me add funds. For example, lgukia is an index tracker, but I've not been able to add it to the 2 or 3 apps I've tried...

    Help sync questions

    I'm still confused about syncing contacts. I have a Desire on Orange. I have a gmail account, and I use the htc mail app and connect to my gmail account using exchange. I sync my contacts to my gmail account using `google/sync contacts` from the sync page, and I sync my mail using `exchange...

    Odd vibrate bug

    My Desire (Orange Uk) decided to stop vibrating the other day. Nothing could make it vibrate - I tried emailing it, changing the profile to vibrate-only, locking the phone and moving my finger over the little circles to unlock (the phone usually vibrates a little as you pass over each one)...

    reboot, then safemode and widget problem

    My battery was at about 10% or so, so I was expecting it to bleep at some point and whine that it wanted feeding, but I wasn't expecting it to reboot (I'd not touched it for an hour or so) into safe mode (didn't even know there was a safe mode). The phone then looked normal, except instead of...

    Who sent me this text message?

    It arrived with "Natwest" as the sender, but who is "Natwest"? Yes, I know it's a bank, but why can't I see the number it was sent from? It's not in my contact list. Unlike my older phones I don't seem to be able to get a `properties` view showing sender, date etc. Is this something I need...

    quitting applications

    Ok, so I get that you hit `home` to leave an app running and return to the main menu, and you hit `back` to quit an application. But sometimes the `back` button goes back a page/screen, like on the browser, or..well, a few apps really. How are you supposed to quit those? Hit `home`, then...

    Why can't all Android phones get latest Android OS?

    Is there any reason why any Android phone ever released can't handle all versions of Android? Sure, if an app needs a compass, GPS, multitouch, 200 megs of ram, 4 inch screen etc etc then that app might well fail to load/run, but the OS itself should be fine, right? It seems that currently...
