    Untimely App Updates

    I've gotten a bit paranoid about data usage since losing my UDP. I've noticed several times that applications start updating when I'm not on wireless. Yes, Play Store is set not to auto-update except on wireless. Doesn't matter. I got the last the Kit-kat update while riding in my carpool...

    ICS Long Press Desktop -- Wallpaper???

    Since getting the ICS update, I tried to add a widget to a screen. I would usually do that with a long press on a blank spot on my desktop and get a list of apps, widgets. and shortcuts. Now I get an option to change my wallpaper???? Is there a way to customize this? Really bad idea. I'm...

    Proprietary USB Cable?

    I thought I had a dead RAZR and the problem is apparently an incompatible cable. I plugged my RAZR into an LG USB cable that I use with my work Blackberry and left it overnight. Next morning the battery was totally dead. The only indication when I plugged it in was the alert light (top left of...

    Root Newb successfully roots phone, applies ROM

    After struggling with the "Unrevoked" rooting method (my computer would not detect the phone when I attached the USB) I successfully rooted with the 1-click available from the Marketplace. I then installed KaosFroyo and am so far pretty happy with it. My registered EasyTether works great...

    Replace the #%@! dialer

    Here's a real-world request: In my job I spend a great deal of time on conference calls. I dial a number and then 6-8 seconds later I'm asked for an access code. Using the default dialer, I can't dial the number, 8 seconds worth of pause, and the access code. Now I know that I can use the...

    HTC Footprint App

    I got my new HTC Eris and took it on a trip to Seattle. Now I have all these swell pictures noted as "Footprints" but I don't see a way to get them out of the phone. It's great having the picture and the geo data, but how do I get them out of the phone? The Menu key yields an "Export" option...

    Greetings, Droid-o-philes

    Hi all -- I'm new to smart phones in general, so bear with me. I have an HTC Eris from Verizon. This thing is really pretty amazing. It can do all sorts of things. The only thing that it doesn't do really well is be a phone. If it were only a phone, I'd be rid of it in a heartbeat...

    Got my Eris yesterday

    This is a new world and I'm glad to find the natives are friendly. Already figured a few things out -- e.g. the Verizon guy dumped my ~300 phone contacts into my Gmail contacts (~1500). It took an hour with Excel and filters to get that straightened out. Maybe there's an easier way. That's...
