    Help Weird issue with GPS and using Wifi/Networks for location

    For the last few days I've been having an odd issue. I'd look at my phone while I was at work in City A and my weather widget would tell me I was in City B. Opening Google maps would show me in City B and not just a random location, but the office I sometimes work at out there. Once it gets a...

    Game seems to keep re-enabling "Show Notifications"...

    I'm playing Lost Bubble, which is a fun enough game, but it's got irritating "play me!" style notifications that it pushes to the notification panel. I've gone into App Manager and unchecked "Show Notifications" to kill that. A day later (without any updates to the app in between) I get another...

    Looking for a new comic strip reader app

    The Comic Reader that I've been using isn't being supported anymore so strips are starting to not work as the websites change formatting or whatever. I've downloaded Go Comics and Comic Strips by 99Apps, but they're both missing some of my favorites. Does anybody know of other good comic strips...

    When will we see non-universal docks available?

    I've already seen a decent selection of cases showing up, but what about non-universal docks / car docks, etc? On a related note, is it possible they aren't planning one for it? I read the Sensation user guide pdf a few days ago - not noticing at the time the missing "4G" - and it mentions an...

    Help Camera app flashing

    I just finished setting up my shiny new Sensation and love it. But... The camera app flashes the screen off and on non stop... The camcorder works perfectly. A restart and battery pull didn't help. I really hope I don't have to reset out and start over again... :-(

    Anyone had luck with early upgrades recently?

    Almost exactly one year ago I extended my contract for another 2 years when I got my myTouch Slide. The phone has served me very well, but I really want to upgrade to the HTC Sensation. Has anybody had luck recently getting the fully discounted upgrade pricing early? As much as I want the...

    Things you've noticed since the 2.2 update.

    What have you noticed since the update? I've noticed a couple of things: - Unlocking is slightly more finicky than it used to be. You have to drag the bar slightly further down or hold out down longer. Just by fractions, but it's noticable. - Swype is slightly different. To choose another...

    Google maps search broken since update for anyone else?

    The search function doesn't do anything on Google Maps since today's update on my myTouch Slide. The screen just blinks briefly... I uninstalled the updates and it works again, but once I let it update it's broken again. Is this happening to anyone else?

    Annoying way to regain phone storage space

    A few hours ago my Slide started with an endless force close error that only went away after managing to hit the "shut down" option in the fraction of a second before the error popped back up. Unfortunately, it then went into an endless reboot cycle. I finally decided to use the Clear Storage...

    Any way to "repair app" or uninstall/reinstall only way?

    A couple of days ago I noticed that the homescreen shortcut to Weatherbug had changed to the default gear-on-a-window icon. It looks the same way in the AppBrain app and it's completely missing from the app tray. It still works normally when I open it with the shortcut... This is the second time...

    Android car stereos?

    Has anybody heard anything about somebody making an Android-based car stereo? I'm not talking about a carputer, but an actual typical single or double-din head unit. It seems to me that it would be a perfect platform for modern media: - It's already capable of playing MP3s and other formats...

    Those going through multiple defective Slides

    I've noticed that several people seem to be going through multiple Slides and can't get one that works right. Since my wife and I have had zero issues with our original ones from the day we got them, I'm starting to wonder about possible causes. The ones we got are from an early batch, is it...

    Looking for an email app...

    I've tried the HTC, Gmail, K9, and MailDroid apps, and none of them are "just right". I'm not sure if there's anything out there that does, but I figured I might as well ask... - Allow you to "check" several messages and then delete, archive, or most importantly apply a label. (Gmail does...

    Those with the update: Things you've noticed...

    For those of you that have gotten the OTA update or have done it manually like I just did, what have you noticed as different, better, worse, etc? I know there's a "New Bugs in Update" thread, this is more for general changes, not bugs. (Feel free to include any bugs you've noticed though if you...
