    how to use Password Safe on Android

    I've been using the program Password Safe for many, many years on my computer. There is now an app and a sync app for Android (by Jeff Harris). I've got the syncing business worked out but I can't figure out how to actually *use* Password Safe on my phone! I can't seem to find instructions...

    Taming Google Contacts

    I have decided to stop fighting and allow Google to control my entire life. I've changed my phone over to having my usual, most-used gmail account as my phone's primary account. Everything is syncing and combining and consulting and talking behind my back. Now I need to get control of my...

    budget cases w/good protection?

    I drop my phone. All the time. Like, all. the. time. I would say at least once a day it goes tumbling out of my hands. Usually from 2-4 feet up, generally onto carpet, sometimes wood, occasionally tile, and if I'm particularly clumsy that day, concrete (eep!). It's not getting thrown...

    I really, really miss HandyShopper

    That's all, really. :-( Well, ok, not all but nearly. I paid for Grocery King months and months ago but still haven't really used it. I don't find it terribly intuitive and I can't find a detailed tutorial or help forum or anything for it. Sigh. I would pay $20 or more to have my old...

    Tv guide app for gingerbread

    Apparently TV Guide doesn't think that those of us stuck in the cave man days of Gingerbread want to know what's on TV. The app no longer works with 2.3.4. Any recs for an alternative that won't ask for my firstborn child in the permissions?

    Root Root or custom ROM?

    Holy crap this is complicated! I bought a NC (1.4.3) from a friend about a year ago. I have bought maybe 4 books and use it mostly as a tablet I guess. Mostly I use it to surf the web, check email, read forums, FB, tweet, etc. It's bigger than my phone screen but easier to tote around than my...

    universal alert controls

    I am struggling to get all of my alerts under control (Droid X, gingerbread). I've just moved to this phone from a Droid 2, so I have sort of a clean slate. I've installed my SMS popup, which I like because it's simple. I want texts to pop up. I don't need many fancy controls for that. I have a...

    sync from Gmail

    Hi everyone, I made a bunch of changes in my contact list from my Google email account. I did this from my laptop. I also did a factory reset on my phone. Of course when I set it up again it downloaded my contact list from Gmail. All good. But I'm unclear about how the sync process works. If I...

    Phone contact list overriding Gmail

    Well this is completely annoying. Droid 2 Global, Gingerbread, Verizon Have been using backup assistant for new contacts. Never worked, never got it to sync right, never could access it on the Verizon website. So nevermind to them. I'm switching to Page Plus anyway. Ha on you Verizon! When I...

    trading phones & SD card info

    My husband and I are switching phones. I'm going to take his Droid X and he's going to take my Droid 2. We are also going to switch from Verizon to Page Plus. I backed up my contacts (from D2) to the SD card, then copied the entire SD card to a folder on my desktop. I was planning to do the same...

    Root Can rooting interfere with phone service?

    I'm moving to Page Plus with 2 phones. One of them is a D2 and will be used only to receive voicemail. I was thinking about playing with rooting on this phone, since I don't need to use it on a day-to-day basis. Could rooting interfere with people's ability to call and leave a voicemail, or with...

    Straight Talk vs Page Plus

    Based on information from answers to my previous post as well as from the constant, mind-numbing research I'm doing, I think I'm going to move from my way-too-expensive Verizon plan to either Page Plus or Straight talk. I am not worried about unlimited anything. I use 150-200 talk minutes...

    Switching carriers & phones

    I've been on Verizon for several years now. My husband and I are paying about $145 a month (including taxes and fees) for unlimited everything. But we don't need unlimited anything. My husband can have his work phone also be his personal phone for $15 a month. I use an average of 115mb data...

    Will GS3 and/or DNA drop as new phones come out?

    I'm still limping along with my Droid 2, which I've come to loathe. I really wanted a GS3 or the DNA and couldn't decide between them. Now I keep hearing that new phones are coming out soon. Does this mean the prices will drop significantly for those two phones? I already see that I can get...

    get DLNA off of my phone!

    What the heck is this DLNA thing and why is it on my phone? I did a factory reset on my Droid 2 a few days ago and it seems there is a new app on it. If it was there before, I never noticed it and it wasn't active. It's non-deletable. It says DLNA and it's obviously some sort of data...

    Help Hold my hand for factory reset

    Hi friends, While I'm trying to decide what new phone to get, I'd like my D2G to at least work reliably. Someone suggested a factory reset because the thing is having all kinds of crazy problems (taking 15-20 seconds to connect when I make a call, not working with the bluetooth in my car, texts...

    Changing Google Account address

    When I get my new phone (hopefully in the next week or so) I will obviously want the apps I paid for to be on the new phone. The email address I associated my current phone with is no longer my regular email address. In fact, I really never check it. Google Play is "connected" to that...

    Choosing from among Verizon's offerings

    Oh you don't know how much I loathe the idea of being a "which phone should I get" person, but I'm at my wits end. I'm on Verizon and want to stay with Verizon. They have the most reliable coverage and broadest 4GLTE coverage in my area. It's time to renew my contract and get a new phone...

    Hello from Raleigh, NC

    Hi there, I'm a Verizon customer and have been using a Droid 2 Global for two years. I absolutely loved it when I got it. Now I hate it so much I'd throw it off of an overpass if I had something else. I am, however, a big fan of the Android OS and will be getting a new phone in the next week or...
