    Help Won't shutdown AT ALL!

    My legally blind grandmother's SGT2 is frozen and won't do anything. Unfortunately, I'm two states away, so I'm doing phone support through my Apple-carrying father (so please be patient with me). One of her games is frozen on screen. She and my father both have tried repeatedly to turn it...

    Root [CDMA] Update to stock ICS?

    Looked through some of the guides around here, but got a little overwhelmed. Haven't had to root or flash ROMs since my SGSI was tragically soaked when I was stranded in a down pour last July :) My husband has a Sprint Evo 3D that we bought already rooted early this year. I have no idea what...

    Ota tv dvr?

    How many acronyms can I use in the title of my thread? :p My almost husband and I don't feel like we're in a good enough place financially to go ahead and commit to what he really wants - satellite - for the upcoming football season. We currently entertain ourselves primarily through...

    Fair price for a damaged Captivate?

    I'd like to sell my precious, er, Captivate for (sob) parts. The case and screen are in mint conditions, but the innards (ports, motherboard) are dying slowly from water damage. Thoughts on a fair asking price?

    Rice stuck in my phone

    My field crew and I got caught in a down pour on Tuesday. My phone was in my stylin' fanny pack; I figured it was better off taking its chances in there than getting soaked being transferred into a plastic bag. Got it home and it was only a wee bit damp. A single big drop of water under the...

    Help Phone stops receiving SMS

    My fiance's Transform has had odd SMS issues off and on since he got it. Currently, after months of no problems, it's started this pattern of not receiving SMS after it's gone a few days without reboot. Once he reboots he'll receive all the missing messages and be fine for a few days. Anyone...

    Disabling keyguard?

    Back in the days of Eclair (long, long ago) I was able to use Tasker to disable my keyguard when I was at home. Somewhere along the line - and I don't remember exactly when it was now - Tasker stopped being able to control this function for me. With every new ROM I think "maybe it will work...

    Who uses SSH for unsecured wifi?

    Most of the time I don't need to use unsecured wifi connections because I'm either at home or at work (no, I don't get out much), but work's had me traveling more this spring and I've been stuck using open hotel and airport wifi more and more. This has me increasingly worried about firing up my...

    Help Sending 2 copies of most SMS since 2.2 update

    My SO's transform is stock and went through the update to 2.2 without so much as a noticeable hiccup (at least to him - I wasn't home to backup, ooo and awww, and fret over every blip). The only problem we've run into since then is that it sends 2 copies of almost every SMS now. Anyone else...

    Help SMS resending after reboot

    My fiance picked up a new transform yesterday (his first android). The Best Buy guy transferred all of his SMS and other yesterday and we had no problems (other than being terribly distracted during the evening football games playing with it) until he rebooted it for the first time. When it...

    Widget that goes to circular menu of other widgets?

    I saw an article or something in the last few weeks reviewing a widget that you press that then pops up a circular menu of other widgets you choose. Unfortunately, now I can't track down the reference. Is anyone familiar with the widget I'm talking about?

    Opera mini and gReader?

    Downloaded Opera Mini last night and I've been impressed by its speed on every site except gReader's. Anyone else experience this or have an idea why?

    Root Need to update 1-Click LagFix???

    Okay, I know this is probably a dumb question, but the more I think about it the more I go "but what if ... ?" I downloaded and ran the 1-click lagfix a couple of weeks ago. Love it, no issues worth mentioning. BUT - updates for it have appeared in the market. Initially I was like, oh, the dev...

    Create a dock shortcut that launches menu of apps

    Seems like there ought to be a simple solution to this, but can't figure out how to do it. I'm using Launcher Pro Plus on a rooted Captivate. I want to create a dock shortcut that takes me to a menu populated with different apps to choose from (for instance a games menu). I know how to create a...

    Vlingo users?

    So I downloaded Vlingo the other day and have been having a few problems. IT works well enough for basic search but any time I try to perform complex task it goes to the search page and stops. For example I can not get it to retrieve a contact and then email that person. The flip to activate...
