    Sam's Club app identifies itself as a home launcher

    Recently I've been having an annoying problem on my Epic 4G Touch. If I long press the home button the multitasking window that shows recent apps appears. The next time I press the home button I am asked to select the default launcher, which I do. The problem is that the setting is not...

    Why are there so few Honeycomb apps?

    I am totally confused by this. Honeycomb tablets are hitting left and right yet the number of dedicated apps available is laughable. Is this just a case of it being a matter of time? Didn't the iPad launch with over 1000 dedicated apps?

    Accessories What's the clearest anti-glare screen protector?

    I really want to start using an anti-glare screen protector on my EVO for its anti-fingerprint qualities. But I am hesitant to compromise the clarity of the display. With this in mind, which is the clearest of the anti-glare screen protectors?

    Root Installed FPS uncap OTA update, can I root now?

    My phone is 100% stock and I just installed the most recent OTA update (incredible by the way). Can I root my phone now or do I have to wait for the rooting tools to be updated for this most recent OTA update? I am completely new to rooting and have no clue where to start. Thanks.

    Accessories Screen protectors available locally?

    Is there anywhere I can buy a screen protector for my Epic at a local store? Here are the ones I am aware of and why my search continues: 1. Sprint-doesn't cover the entire screen. 2. Invisibleshield at BB-I want a hard plastic static adhering type of protector. I really loathe these rubbery...

    I really dislike the power button so I don't use it anymore

    It's located on the side so it is hard to press it without causing the keyboard to slide. To make matters worse it is very flush with the body of the phone and has very little tactile feedback (it doesn't have a satisfying click). I totally solved this by downloading a free app called "No...

    Least expensive option to purchase Epic at full retail?

    I already have an EVO so I need to buy it at full price. Then I'll sell my EVO to recoup most of the cost. What would be my best option?

    I lost my mind today and went to the Apple store

    I don't know what got into me but I woke up today wanting to see the iPhone 4. So I went down to my local Apple store to check it out. Within 30 seconds I knew it wasn't for me. The problem with the iPhone is the screen size. I had a first generation iPhone and never once thought the screen...

    Does anyone know of a way to add this to Froyo? I can't believe it isn't a standard feature.

    EVO is the only phone with a 4" or larger screen without a movie app

    The HD2 had the Blockbuster app, the DroidX has it too. Where is our movie app? Vudu, Cinemanow, and Amazon (who already have an app!) should be all over this, what are they thinking? The Samsung Galaxy phones might lack a movie app too, but the EVO has been available for 2 months and...

    Want a new appreciation for your EVO?

    Go try one of those 7" Augen Gentouch Android tablets that are available at Kmart for $149. Supposedly this thing is running Android 2.1 but it feels more like Android 1.0 (if that is a real thing). The EVO absolutely DESTROYS this thing in every conceivable way. Every second I used it I...

    Accessories Belt case for Innocase Active?

    I'm looking for a case that I can place my Innocase Active encased Evo inside and which can attached to my belt. BTW I am talking about this Innocase Active sold on Seidio's site, NOT the Limited Edition on Amazon if that makes a difference. I found this case on Seidio's site but I am not sure...

    EVO's little brother, the Aria

    Today I helped my sister pick a new phone, she's with AT&T. I was adamant about her going with an Android phone so that gave her 2 choices; the Motorola Backflip or the HTC Aria. Ultimately we both agreed that the Aria was the better choice and we took it home. Tonight I spent 2 hours...

    Accessories Blue silicone case at Best Buy

    I saw a royal blue silicone skin case today at Best Buy. It was HTC branded, not aftermarket. I opened the package and checked it out and it was very nice. It was made of a very smooth silicone on the back but it was a bit thicker and firmer than I was used to. I compared it to the...

    How's my battery life? (numbers enclosed)

    I just ran my phone from 100% to the point where it shut itself down so basically to minimal possible charge. My numbers just prior to shut down were approximately: Up Time: 46:00 Awake Time: 5:40 These numbers were all during intense use with a mixture of 3G mostly and a bit of wifi. I...

    Accessories How effective are the recent changes to the updated Seidio Innocase II?

    I just initiated an RMA exchange for my Best Buy Platinum Seidio Innocase with holster. I am quite hesitant to even use the replacement once it arrives because of all the damage I have read about the first edition causing. With the changes made to the revised case (specifically the rubberized...

    Build Quality of X from people who have actually handled it?

    For anyone who has actually handled an X I have the following questions: 1. What are the various buttons like on the phone? On my original Droid I thought the build quality was quite good EXCEPT for the buttons which had a very loose fit. Do the X's buttons fit better and have a nice solid...

    Is it possible to seal the screen from dust entry?

    Some users are reporting that they have dust under their screen. Hopefully it was a manufacturing error and didn't get in there post assembly. However recent reports of other users saying water freely got under their screen when they installed a screen or body shield have me concerned. Is...

    Scratchy sound when listening to voice mail

    I don't know if this is just a cell phone thing because my last phone on Sprint did it too. But when I call in to my voice mail and hear the female voice of the menu system, she is very scratchy. It doesn't matter what volume level I am at either, it's almost as if the sound quality of the VM...

    Looking for Static Cling Screen Protector Evaluations

    I know there are a lot of screen protector threads but those always seem to focus on the Invisibleshield vs other similar products. I am not interested in these, what I am after are the type that adhere to the screen with static cling. Also I am not interested in the anti glare variety as...

    My new Droid-thoughts and impressions

    Just got mine tonight and I am thoroughly impressed with it. Some thoughts: -The keyboard took a bit of getting used to but within a few hours I was already much more comfortable. Plus I think the keys have a nice click feedback when pressed. I was expecting awful and I would say it's...
