    Favourite Apps for the Note

    OK - the Note has a big screen that makes lots of stuff easier, and if you get stuck there's even a pen for fiddly interfaces. But what are your favourite apps? Tell us why, and don't forget to put links in if you can. :) I'll start the ball rolling. Last night for me was a demonstration...

    Why is this phone so slow?

    Not wanting to go off topic from another thread, but I sympathize with this user talking about the Note's camera: Yes, the lag is completely unacceptable. Really, totally hopeless. My two year HTC Desire's camera was twice as fast as the Note. I was out today trying to photograph my...

    Help Note reading text alerts, calendar alerts, etc aloud!!

    This is driving me nuts. I have gone through every setting I can find, and still the wretched phone declares who has just sent me a text! How can I turn this annoyance off? Already tried turning off everything in text-to-voice, voice talk, google voice - don't know where to look next!

    Help Failure to enter event using Voice talk app?

    I kind of like the version of Vlingo that comes with the Note. Sending texts, playing music, making calls, it does all those very well when in-car mode. But one thing it just screws up horribly is entering an event. I say: event meeting with Mark time 11am it gets it right, i.e. for...

    S-pen a silly gimmick?

    Has anyone found a decent photo editing app that makes use of the s-pen? The native app is awful - you can't even zoom in on a photo to edit it. The more I try to use the s-pen, the more I realise how hopeless it is for even jotting simple notes. I had Microsoft tablets before this, and...

    Help Better app for Calendar?

    One thing HTC really got right on the Desire was the calendar. Synch'd beautifully with Google, keeping the colours, nice to look at, navigate, enter new events. The default app on the Note however, is horrible! The widget doesn't seem to update properly. It's clumsy, ugly and awkward to...

    Help Changing lock screen image?

    Can't find a way to change this from the Note's settings - is there something I missed or do you need to get an app to do it?

    Every track is viewed as an album??!! WTF??

    Using Amazon MP3 to download music straight to my phone, got the double compilation album 'Nigeria Special', and guess what, every track on it is viewed as an album! :mad: Doesn't matter which music player I use - they all see 27 different albums instead of one. Good grief, don't let the...

    Help Photo uploading to Picasa produces grey stripe?

    Uploaded a batch of photos from my phone to Picasa - quite a few towards the end of the batch ended up with a grey bar across the bottom half of the photo: Anyone know what causes this? Saw one or two previous posts have been made about it, but no one seems to know why it happens.

    Lookout on the HTC Desire?

    Lookout just got reviewed on the BBC "Click" programme. Looks great - anyone got it running on the Desire? In the app reviews in the Market there seem to have been some problems for the Desire. https://www.mylookout.com/features

    Advice for bluetooth headset / car stereo

    Hope someone on the forum can help, as I don't know anything about the possibilities with bluetooth! I need some way of answering the phone while driving. Existing car stereo has external jack input, so I use the Desire as my sat nav / ipod, plugging it into the stereo via two 3.5mm jacks...

    photos don't show in people widget (large)

    Strange thing has happened since the upgrade. I added the people widget to a screen in the large (9x9) style. The group I choose all have photos for each contact. If I view them in the people group listing, all the photos show next to the name. If I view the individual contacts the photos...

    Help Can't mount Desire as disk drive

    OK - I have tried everything. Turning the phone on and off. Rebooting my PC. Done both of these multiple times. Have changed settings in "Connect to PC" and re-set them to see if that would make a difference and have clicked and unclicked "Ask me..." option on connecting. Nada. What is...

    Google Latitude

    How much have people played around with this app? I find it both amazing and scary. Only had it running a couple of days, but very curious to see it mapping my location history. Has anyone tried the so called "routine" learning features, where it alerts you if a friend comes within range...

    Uninstalling apps not from the marketplace

    Hi - I installed some apps hosted on mediafire (Gallery3D, Voice Search, etc). I was following links from a well known page recommending tips and improvements to an HTC Desire. How do you uninstall stuff like that? Normally you have to go via the market, but in this case I can't. Having...
