    Hancent "bug" - an evil one..?

    So I have a bunch of message threads that I've had over the months and I've noticed that while the message count is correct, it seems what once I send 666 messages the counter for "messages sent" stops on that number. I find that to be a bit too coincidental and a bit freaky so if the dev is...

    Handcent and using letters with accents?

    Hi I've had an issue pop up with Handcent. Usually, when I write a standard text I see the counter that tells me how many characters out of 160 I've used in the text as I type. However, whenever I send a text with a letter with an accent (like

    A better Google Talk app than Google Talk?

    I'm trying to get my Blackberry friends to use Google Talk with me but I have to say the Talk app on Android sucks. There is zero customization with Google Talk for Android in terms of how it looks and acts and I'm just wondering if there is any viable alternative for using Google Talk. I've...

    Help Only 1GB of internal memory?

    Seems like a pretty low amount considering the G2 came out with a whopping 4GB. I'm interested in this phone but the more I learn about it (no flash, low internal memory) are starting to sway me to keep my G2.

    Alternative app to the Android Market?

    I know this was partly addressed in previous posts I've found but just want to solicit opinions. I've noticed that the stock Android Market app keeps asking me to update apps that I had updated previously. I check the version numbers of each app and for the most part they don't change but I'm...

    Android Market shares your email with developers?

    Maybe I missed something but when I started buying apps from the Android Market I figured the whole purpose for using my Google Account was so that I could buy the apps using the card in my account. Now I just got a spam offer from one of the developers of the apps I bought and while I was able...

    Calendar on lockscreen?

    Hi I'm looking for a good app/widget to put my calendar agenda on the lockscreen. I've seen people mention Executive Assistant but that seems to get mixed reviews on the market. Any other good ones out there?

    Schedule of upcoming Android Tablets/pads?

    Most of the threads relating to pads/tablets seem a bit dated and I'm wondering when we will finally start seeing a rush of new devices to come out in competition with the iPad. I had an iPad but it was stolen. Since then, I have missed it somewhat, mainly for the book reading. But having...

    Could these keyboards be any worse?

    Well after flushing $$ down the toilet on Swiftkey I decided to flush some more on Ultra Keyboard and I can't even express my disappointment enough. What's the deal with these "suggestions"? I go to write a quick text message to someone and when I type in "Hi" the Ultra Keyboard 'suggests'...

    My only beef with the G2 - internet connection

    So far I absolutely love the G2....everything about it is great. My only partial beef is the uneven performance of the network connection (internet) when it tries to decide between 2G, 3G, and a relatively weak WiFi connection. It doesn't seem to make those transitions easily and I've found...

    Jailbroken iPhone vs. stock Froyo?

    Hi. I had an iPhone for just over two years but never went down the jailbreaking road. Felt it was too much effort just to customize my screen and such. However, since I've made the switch over to Android I find I like the customization options a lot. Which had me wondering whether I would...

    Help Changes to Google contacts in Gmail don't update on phone?

    I've seen plenty of discussion on this but no concrete solutions so here goes. I have a T-Mobile G2 using Android 2.2. Up to this point I've been able to add/modify contacts on my phone and have them update with My Contacts in Gmail. This part of it works perfectly. However, I just...

    Hancent & groups?

    Hi I love Handcent and I know it's super-easy to send message to a group of contacts but I have two questions that I have not been able to figure out: 1) is there a way to create a group and name it instead of having it appear as just a list of people? 2) whenever I send a message to a...

    Hanscent pop-ups?

    I'm trying to figure something out with Handscent. If I'm in the middle of typing an SMS and receive a new message, I get a pop-up window showing the message with options to reply, delete, or close. I've turned off pop-ups as I find them annoying but I still get these new messages that pop up...

    Swiftkey Keyboard: correct spelling but not fill with suggested words?

    Hi I've downloaded the Swiftkey Keyboard and like it a lot but am a bit frustrated by the autocomplete concept they use. I guess there should be two options: autocorrect spelling mistakes I make and another option for autocompleting words I am trying to type. Too often I find that Swiftkey's...

    Help Navigation/maps issue

    Hi I've had an odd issue with my G2 since I purchased it Sunday. When I first took it out of the box, I went to Google Maps to see how it looked and it had my location pegged at my office in downtown Chicago even though I was 20 miles away and had never been down to my office with the G2...

    So should I wait around for a Class 6 32gb card?

    So I've seen debates on this from prior threads but I will throw it out there again since most of the threads are from July. I just got a T-Mobile G2 and have a ton of music. I had maxed out my 32GB iPhone so I need space. I've seen a lot of folks say to wait around for a Class 6 or 10...

    "Free" apps and security??

    Hi I've migrated over from the iPhone to Android (G2 on T-Mobile) and really like the Android system. However, one thing I've noticed is that there are a lot more fully functioning and useful apps that are free vs. the iPhone, where most apps that are worth a damn cost you at least a dollar or...

    Look for an all-in-one world clock & alarm app

    Hi I'm migrating over from the iPhone and one think I like about the iPhones Clock app is that it has a tab for world clocks while it also manages the alarms. I'm looking for an app (not widget) that gets the job done similarly on Android but I haven't really found one. It seems that clock...

    T-Mobile long text messages

    Hi I'm migrating from an iPhone 4 on AT&T to the G2 on T-Mobile and one of the things that's sticking in my craw is the text size limit on T-Mobile, in terms of not being able to write a long text message without it being sent to the person in 2-3 separate text messages. I'm looking to see if...

    Help Is autocorrect really this bad?

    Maybe I'm missing something. I'm test driving a T-Mobile G2 this week to see if I want to bail on the iPhone. I've looked everywhere in settings and it looks like autocorrect is on but it simply NEVER works. I mean, it doesn't do anything. Sometimes it will substituted "can't" for "cant"...

    Help Is there a way to change the home button?

    I'm trying out the G2 for a week as a possible replacement for my iphone. I like the phone so far but find the home button to be very hard to hit consistently and I was wondering if there was a way to use the trackpad button as the home button, similar to the way the iphone is.

    Why cant i buy a phone in the UK and use it in the US and vice versa?

    So I do a fair amount of overseas travel and have never had an issue using my iphone and getting 3G speeds on the internet. I have also bought unlocked GSM phones and have not had an issu e either. I'm in the UK now and the Desire HD is coming out next week and I'm wondering why I can't just...

    Best phone right now that comes with 2.2?

    I'm interested in the galaxy-class phones but am wary about falling into the Apple trap by having to wait breathlessly for them to release the latest version of their OS. Seems to me that if I want Android it's 2.2 or nothing. So what's the best phone on the market today that has 2.2 stock?
