    Help Does gmail app notify you of updates?

    Coming from an ancient Hero, I was wondering how the newer versions of Android handle the case when a version update for gmail is released. It's not visible in the "my apps" section of the market.... so are we just supposed to continually search for the gmail app in the market and compare...

    I don't remember if this was the case on my Hero, but it seems I can only have 4 browser windows open at the same time. Is there any way to increase this limit?

    Help wifi - always needing to reconnect

    I'm having issues with WiFi on my 3vo... for some reason, web browsing and accessing the market will sometimes tell me that I have no connection when WiFi is enabled. Disabling WiFi (i.e. using 3G instead) or unchecking then re-checking WiFi will cause it to work again. This issue never...

    "Fast Boot" - on or off?

    It's my understanding that HTC is simply putting the phone in to a deep hibernation mode when turning the phone off and "Fast boot" is enabled. Are there any disadvantages to this? Extra power draw? Memory footprint? Since we are sometimes told to power cycle our phones when offending apps...

    Help Dust under screen and "specks"

    Apps How to determine when SCREEN_OFF_TIMEOUT has changed?

    Just started working with the Android SDK so forgive me for my ignorance (I did unsuccessfully Google before posting, however). I'm trying to make my first test widget that toggles the screen time out settings. Is there a way for the widget to be notified when...

    Can't delete favorite contact!

    Every time I try to delete a contact marked as a "favorite", it will disappear for a few minutes and then re-appear again. Pretty annoying. Anyone else having this issue?

    Search function in Messages app bug?

    Not sure if this is how it's intended to work, but when I try to search through my text messages (go in to Messages app, press the hard search button key), it only seems to search the last sent text for every thread (as opposed to the entire thread). Is it supposed to work this way?

    Apps Does uninstalling an app leave things behind?

    I did a quick forum/google search and could not find much info, but I was wondering if constantly installing and uninstalling apps had any negative effect on the phone (such as leaving random registry things, data, etc. behind). Would you guys recommend a factory reset every so often to clean...

    Does uninstalling apps leave junk behind?

    I did a quick forum/google search and could not find much info, but I was wondering if constantly installing and uninstalling apps had any negative effect on the phone (such as leaving random registry things, data, etc. behind). Perhaps a Linux guy can shed more light on this?

    10% awake time, almost dead overnight, normal?

    Just did a factory refresh last night, did not download any apps, no facebook, no flickr login, no outbound text messages sent, gmail set to auto sync. The battery was about 80% before going to bed and 8 hours later when I woke up it asked me to plug the charger in. Is this normal? Is it...
