    Navigation - Waypoint

    When using Google Navigation, once the initial destination is locked in and the trip is planned, we get out onto the highway and drive. Along the way, we occasionally start running out of fuel, coffee, or need a rest stop. How do I make an alteration during my trip, while on the freeway via...

    Mute message alert by contact?

    I keep my phone beside me at night and it seems as though I have developed a person that will text at nearly any hour. Some folks think this is acceptable, some not, but in any case, I can't have my phone muted or set for 'no vibrate' for all incoming messages/calls/texts. Is there an easy...

    Stock Email - you must first download the message ...

    Since I first setup my personal email address on this phone, trying to either "Preview" or "Save" any attachments, I receive a message that says "You must first download the message to download the attachment" I've played with the email settings on and off for months without ever finding a...

    Help "These Apps want access to your Google Account ..."

    After running the update, I continually get this permissions request from the system: "These apps want access to your Google account from now on:" "They are requesting permission to: Android services" ... and then there is a list of pretty much everything on the phone. I have refused to...

    Post-HTC Update results?

    Can folks chime in on how their texting and calling service has been since the update? So far, I haven't had any texting errors or calls not going through, which is a big difference from the operation of the phone before the update, but I probably don't use the texting as much as some folks. I...

    No Service Tonight, AGAIN.

    So, is anyone else having a service outage tonight? About 2 hours ago, both my voice and data quit working. My account is current and is set to renew early next month. About an hour ago, the 3G data services came back, but the voice calls are still out. I have 6 bars of service, but the moment...

    The Evo V 3G Update that is available

    I just performed this update with the hopes that it would solve this phone's inability to send/receive text messages reliably. Can anyone else report on what this update is supposed to resolve, and your experiences? Thanks.

    Help Virgin Mobile - Quality of Customer Support

    Now, I'm an adult, so I don't mean any disrespect to any particular age group or music genre, but does anyone else find it strange that when you're waiting on hold for VM customer support that they blast some pop/rock/rap music? Literally, to the point where the phone starts to distort the...

    Pioneer AppRadio 2 (SPH-DA100) Android car stereo

    So I've been waiting and watching the car stereo scene develop for the past 10 or 15 years, and Pioneer is finally into their second version of the Appradio car stereo. The first version "Appradio" was only for Apple devices, but when it was first available, it was easy to see the future...

    Help Phone swap = strange VM billing issues?

    Anyone using a credit card to autopay each month, coming to the Evo from another phone (phone swap), have you noticed anything strange with the billing that occurred when you made the changeover? I attempted to swap phones inside my internet account, selected the new more expensive plan, then...

    Help Separate Ringtone and Notification Volume?

    It appears that the version of ICS on this device is incapable of separating the Ringtone and Notification Volume? This can't be right ... I'm being woken up in the middle of the night for an email or text message. Please advise any settings and/or workarounds. Thanks.

    Sense vs. <any other launcher>?

    For anyone out there that uses a different launcher, can you give your opinion on how it compares to Sense? The one thing I miss is being able to change how many rows and columns appear on the home screen(s). Is this adjustable in some fashion with Sense?

    Evo V 4G - Hotspot?

    When you folks activated your phones, did anyone purchase the additional Hotspot capability in the phone? I had read at one point that it was going to be an extra $15 a month, but I don't recall seeing the option in my account settings.

    Accessories - what have you found?

    I see that the HTC Evo 3D has been available for some time now with the contract carriers, so the prices on the accessories seem to be quite reasonable. If the phone really takes off again now with Virgin Mobile availability, not sure how long the low prices will last. Anyways, here's what I...

    EVO V and MKV video files

    I was surprised to see that the Evo V was capable of playing MKV video files with the stock video player. With AC3 audio in the MKV there was no sound of course. I downloaded Diceplayer and the AC3 audio started working, along with buttery smooth video. This is a full 1080p MKV video file...

    Optimus V - $100 @ Best Buy

    Title says it all. They claim in-store activation, but that's going to confuse the Best Buy folks, just like it did with the Triumph. My bet is that you could get out of the store with the phone still in the box.

    Help me verify original micro-Sd card.

    Hey, folks, if someone that still has their original 2GB micro-sd card (the one that came with the phone), can you please tell me if there is a brand name on it, like "Sandisk" or possibly even no brand name? I have a few of these 2GB micro-sd cards and I have to determine exactly which one...

    SOLVED: Move Optimus V to different VM account?

    I had an Optimus V originally associated to my Virgin Mobile account. I purchased the Triumph and did the "phone swap" on the VM website to associate the Triumph with my VM account. I shut the Optimus V down and stored it in the closet. Now, after 3 weeks with the "pile of crap" known as the...

    Motorola's Official Triumph Forum.

    Motorola Triumph - video encoding parameters

    Base on the combination CPU/GPU currently in the Triumph, these are the maximum encoding parameters that I've successfully used thus far (Mp4, h.264, I usually use Handbrake or some variant): Max Resolution = 1280 horizontal x 720 vertical Max framerate = 30 fps Variable Frame Rate =...

    Motorola Triumph Camcorder - 720p Stats

    I ran a few quick video tests this morning. Phone was stationary to try and minimize encoding CPU stress on device. The camcorder recording options are mentioned below, testing the Straight Mpeg-4, H263, and H264 encoders individually. A few other things to note: Using a class 4 16GB...

    Lock/Unlock action volume control

    Which volume is it that controls the volume of the Lock/Unlock sound? Right at the moment, that noise is so loud that it makes the small speaker sound awful.
