    I have auto-backup set to wifi only. When away from wifi, I take a photo and decide not to keep it so I delete it from the gallery app, however, when I go into the G+ Photos app there is a notification saying the photo is queued up to auto-backup. I do not want this deleted photo to...

    Play Music App - queue problem

    The problem I've discovered is that quite often multiple albums will appear in the queue even though I have not manually added them to it. I'm still trying to work out how to generate this bug but it definitely exists on my Nexus 4. Has anyone else come accross this?

    Spotting phones in movies

    Does anyone else do this? I do, so I started a blog last month (link is in my sig), basically I find screencaps from movies showing a phone being used and then try and identify the phone if possible. I have about 80 entries so far. Yes it's a bit pointless but it keeps me amused. If...

    Favicons

    On my home screen, how can I get a bookmark to display the websites favicon instead of the default red flag icon? Sometimes it works, most of the time is doesn't. Has it got something to do with the website in question? e.g. Engadget favicon is displayed but with Amazon I get the red flag.

    What's this widget?

    See the link below and it's on the 4th screenshot. It's a clock widget that shows the time in words. I think this is pretty cool and I'd like the exact same one but don't know what app it is. Thanks in advance. https://market.android.com/details?id=org.adwfreak.launcher

    Physics based games

    Are there any? My mates at work have iphones/ipod touches and have been playing a game called Angry Birds - a wacky castle-destruction physics game where you fire birds through a slingshot in order to kill piggies. Is there anything similiar on Android? Thanks

    echo

    Anyone else sometimes get an echo when speaking to someone one? I notice it happens most when I call a landline line. It's really annoying hearing the last word of everything I say say. Is this a common issue with the Hero or is mine just faulty? thanks

    Hero can't make calls - Help!

    When I tap 'call mobile' there is no attempt to dial and the call ends straight away (the end call button at the bottom greys out as soon as I tap call). This has only just started happening. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what's the solution? Thanks

    Widget for reminders

    I have a terrible memory. My N series Nokia used to do this so I hope there is something similiar for Android - I need a nice looking widget that I can put on my first homescreen that will show me calender appointments up to 2 weeks in advance. The 1x4 HTC calender widget on my Hero only shows...

    Anyone else wished they'd waited now?

    So I've had a look at the HTC portfolio 2010 leak. The Legend looks like Hero version 2 with a sleeker look, slightly improved specs. It also says it's due for release in March. If this is all true then I'm slightly miffed. Ah well...

    Why don't they call it Hero S?

    The 's' could stand for speed... ;) Seriously though, HTC should keep the name Hero and develop it so it becomes recognized as THE android phone instead of naming every phone differently. It's called brand awareness. When people ask me what phone I've got I say 'I've got a Hero' and they say...

    Is there an app which locks the screen during a call but does not turn it off?

    Question's in the title. Someone in another forum has reccomended Screebl which I've tried and think is a pretty cool app, however I need the screen to LOCK as well as remain ON. Does such an app exist?

    Snooze button!

    When my alarm goes off I like to hit snooze a few times before I actually get up :D I'm finding this a bit difficult on my Hero because I actually have to lift the phone up and open my eyes (very difficult) in order to make sure I press the snooze button rather than turn it off altogether by...

    turn mobile data off when asleep

    Hi. I'm on a limited data plan so it would be good if I could time my phone (hero) to turn 3g off when im in bed. I have locale but that only does wifi. Is there an app that will do the same for mobile data?

    'always on' - please explain

    Hi, im trying to get my head round this, I left my Hero connected to the mobile internet overnight and disabled 'always on' and when I checked netcounter this morning it said I'd downloaded 180kb. What would that be for? I have the twitter widget, the clock that shows the weather and gmail is...
