    Mobile app suggestion

    Is it possible to have the forums I've marked as favorites on the browser-based forums show as favorites on the mobile app rather than having to set up a new favorites list?

    Help I think my A500 is dying :(

    Here's what's going on. For the last few days I've been trying to see what's consuming all my space (I had about 400 MB free on the internal memory). It would NEVER finish calculating, even if left on that screen overnight. Last night, while trying to clear space I was removing a...

    Finally!

    Looks like our wait for ICS is almost over. According to several sites there is now an official leak. There's a ROM out based on it that has been slightly modified by Team BAMF, but it may just be pending VZW approval before a push. HTC ThunderBolt Ice Cream Sandwich build leaks | Android...

    Making the jump from Windows, kind of....

    My HP laptop has been giving me some fits; odd BSOD's, sleep not working right, general performance issues. I did a clean install (not even an HP "factory restore") 2 months ago and the issues persist. This machine was kind of an impulse buy, it seemed to be a good deal at the time, but it's a...

    Play Store Magazines section

    I can see the Magazines section in the online version (viewed from a computer) but I can't on either of my devices. If I order a magazine subscription through the Play Store, how would I read it? The Play Store has one I'd like to get digitally, that I can't find elsewhere digitally in a...

    Slacker Radio update: DO NOT WANT

    The latest update for the Slacker app is a "DO NOT WANT" for me. It's bad enough it's integrated in my phone and I can't do ANYTHING to get rid of it short of rooting, which I can't do, but now there's a new app permission that allows it to START ON BOOT!. NO THANK YOU! Guess I'll live with...

    Help Contact sync

    I added a new contact a couple weeks ago (my contact list doesn't change THAT much), I've found that it hasn't synced to my Google account. There's no way to change WHERE it syncs, I just add it to "People" (the Sense location for contacts). Any ideas or tips? I want to make sure it works...

    Can the A500 cache movies from the market?

    I'm going on a business trip this week and would like to rent a couple movies for the flight and cache them to my tablet. Everything I see says the Xoom is the only device that can do this, is this still the case? Also, once it caches, does that start the 24 hour clock for watching the movie...

    Google Music problem (on my phone and Tablet)

    I'll sometimes listen to an album as I'm trying to get to sleep. I select the album, bring up the menu for the album and select play. It plays the first song then stops and disappears from the status bar. Has anyone seen this, any thoughts? Phone is an HTC Thunderbolt with the GB OTA. Just...

    Help Persistent 3 updates available since GB

    Ever since the GB update my phone has persistently alerted me of 3 application updates being available. I'm on the latest OTA (the fixed GB OTA), I got the first "broken" GB OTA and it's been like this since. If I select the notification, it takes me to the market in my non-primary Google...

    Help Charge level on lock screen while charging?

    I used to have a Motorola Droid. On the lock screen, under the time, it would say "Charging (xx%)" so you didn't have to unlock the phone to see how much it was charged. Is there a way to get that on the TB? Believe it or not, I actually kind of miss that. Would a different launcher do that...

    I've moved on, no more OG Droid

    I was having issues with the headset port, decided it was time. Submitted to the company for a new phone, got the Thunderbolt yesterday. SO much faster than the Droid, and a 32 GB class 4 Micro SD helps with that (OG Droid was a 16 GB class 2)

    Help EDIT: Where did my space go?

    This morning, seemingly out of the blue, I got the low space warning. I've removed 10 or so apps, cleared the data from several others and for some reason it STILL shows low on space. I plugged into my computer, it shows 111 MB of 12 GB free but I can't find what's using it. Any ideas? I...

    Root Where am I going wrong?

    I rooted using SuperOneClick, installed ROM Manager (the free one) and installed ClockWorkMod recovery. However, when I try to boot to CWM all I get is the stock recovery. I'm trying to install Peter Alfonso's stock Gingerbread ROM for the Droid. Any help is appreciated, THANKS.

    What's everyone use for a case/sleeve?

    My a500 shows up next Tues., looking for a case or sleeve to put it in. Amazon has a Gizmo Dorks EVA hardshell case for $8.00 that I'm looking at. I'm not terribly excited about the Acer case, I may hold out for one without a velcro closure. Amazon.com: Gizmo Dorks Hard Shell EVA Case...

    Now I've done it (2x over)

    #1 I bit the bullet and decided to root my Droid. Nothing major yet, just did the wireless tether thing. Not sure how far I want to go with ROMs. #2 I decided to get a tablet. The Acer Iconia a500 was the most appealing to me, it got the best reviews. I was able to get 18 months no...

    Found my battery drain, I think

    I had been using IMEasy for its multiple-account capability, I found my phone running warm when multiple accounts were connected though, and the battery drained fast; down to 70% in 3 hours in a poor signal area. I thought it was the poor signal. Installed Trillian yesterday, it's connected to...

    Ugh, my phone isn't taking the update

    I attempted earlier this week to manually install the update, it wouldn't go for me. I got the notification this AM about the update, selected to reboot and got the error screen. After reboot when I go to check for system updates it tells me I'm up to date with 2.0.1... I may back up my...

    Compared my Droid to an iPhone yesterday...

    Droid won, because I had to use the Droid to activate the iPhone... I work as support for a large corporation, I was asked to activate and configure an iPhone for one of the execs. One problem, the network blocks the iTunes store as does the "open" guest network (still filtered apparently)...

    Interesting GV behavior...

    Using the GV app from the market, I have it set to prompt to use my GV or cell number when making a call. Here's the odd part, it only prompts when I dial using the area code, if I dial w/o the area code it just dials.

    What happens when a phone exchange is needed?

    As the title says, I'm probably exchanging my Driod for a new one (case seems to be peeling), will my apps and settings (I checked the box for settings backup) be downloaded/installed when I activate my Google account on the replacement? Thanks...

    Debating getting the phone exchanged

    Part of the lower casing appears to be bulging near a seam on the edge. I can live with it I think, as long as it doesn't get worse. My concern with the exchange is that the one I have WORKS just fine, no random restarts, normally minimal lag though the touch keyboard seems a little sluggish...
