    Help Trouble adding widgets

    When I try adding a widget to my home screen, I get an error that the launcher has closed. It happens everyone about three pages in, so I can't add any widgets that start street the letter "G". Can't find any way around this. Just got the tablet and updated to kit Kat

    Help How to Undo Phone Encryption?

    ***Been Resolved*** From what I found, my only option was factory reset. Editing in case anybody searches for this. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but I figured I'd ask. I encrypted my SD card through the Storage menu options in Sense. I decided I'm not too fond of it. Somehow (I'm...

    Why did you choose the EVO Shift?

    Just wondering what you are looking forward to in the EVO shift? I'm one of those people who look at the upfront cost of the phone as a secondary factor, so the $50 different wouldn't affect me? Is the keyboard a big draw for you? Or is it more about what this phone isn't as compared to the...

    Advice for ADW Launcher

    I've had an Evo since launch, which is my first Android phone. I decided to try ADW Launcher for the weekend, as I've heard a lot of good things about it here on the forums. I do like the dock, and having more options than just phone, add, and the app drawer. I also like the ability to see...

    Didn't care about 4G at all, until...

    First off, this may be one of those posts where you may reply "cool story bro," so you've been warned. I am in NJ, no 4G unless you're near the 4G in Philly or NY, I'm not. I got the Evo because I was on Sprint, and it seemed like the best phone with or without the 4G. Anyway, went to Camden...

    Camera Display Acting Strange

    This doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, I can't find anyway to fix it, I generally just need to wait it out. The camera and camcorder display sometimes looks strange, like I'm using one of the special fx, but I have no effects on. When I change the camera to sepia, or some other...

    Help SD Card storage/music problem

    Kind of a strange issue, and I'm not sure if this is an Evo issue, android issue, or if I have a weird SD card. On my SD card, when I put my music on, it takes up 5GB, but it doesn't take up nearly as much space on my iPod Touch? Is this due to the way iTunes pulls songs from CDs (where most...

    Positive Radio Shack Story

    So there was that other Radio Shack that wasn't exactly positive the other day, and seemed to have a lot of angry replies, so I'd just thought in fairness, I'd post my positive RS story. Please note, this is about exchanging an Evo, so if you don't like these kinds of posts, you won't like this...

    Advice from an EVO User

    This is not a thread to start a fight or anything, not here to say one phone is better than the other. I figure most of you don't actually have the phone yet, it might be useful if I shared a little of my experience with the other huge phone (size wise) on the market. First off, the EVO fits...

    Contacts Aren't Updating along with Facebook

    I saw the thread in the Sprint HTC Hero forum, but it didn't really address the problem, so I figure I'll ask here as well. My sister changed her Facebook photo, I use the facebook photos as the contact photos on my phone. My phone has not reflected the different photo yet, its been a few...

    What kind of user am I?

    This isn't a quiz game or anything, but I hear terms like "power user" and "light user" thrown around a lot, and I'm not exactly sure where I fit in. I consider myself kind of savy when it comes to phones, but mostly in the research part before purchasing (thanks to an ill conceived MotoQ...

    Some things I don't understand...

    About Evo complaints. First about battery life. While I wouldn't consider the battery great, I haven't had nearly the amount of problems I've read about. I only lost about 10-12% overnight without charging, while Arrington says he almost lost all his battery power overnight. I'm sure Mr...

    Strange Browsing Orientation Issue

    New to Android, and relatively new to these forums, I tried to do a search and couldn't find anything, but if I missed a thread, I apologize. But on my Evo, when I browse a full webpage, I have trouble when resizing the page. When I resize (either by double tapping, or pinching) the screen...

    How do you like the Eris?

    I'm not an Android user, not yet at least. I plan on getting the Evo in a few weeks. But this question is regarding my girlfriend. She is ready for an upgrade and she is looking for a phone that she can browse the web on. Besides that I don't think she's looking for anything too fancy...
