    Help IsIs there an app for selected folder access from the screen?

    I have not seen this type of shortcut available as part of Android. Not to an existing folder, or for any folder which I may choose (ie wherever I may choose to store my media files). If you sort your media by category and not the app, then Android's new folder option is of no use. The...

    Root Need to make on-screen shortcuts to file folders on internal storage

    I find it somewhat bewildering when I look under Go Launcher (or any home launcher) Shortcuts dialogue, and find no apparent way to create a windows desktop-like shortcut to any folders in storage, and then I need to do this for files not on sd (trying to make use of my 7 GB of internal DINC...

    Root Question for those who know RUU sources

    I recently went through a really bad RUU to Gingerbread experience. I downgraded back to Froyo, which is working great now, and have all but made up my mind to keep it indefinitely. I realize this may present it's own problems as development marches on, so I wonder if some RUUs for the same OS...

    Root Stop the OTA nag & stick w/ Froyo?

    Recently, I downloaded and flashed a said RUU of Gingerbread from the "Android Police" site. Your comments on this RUU would be appreciated, as well as comparisions to the GB RUU from other sources (any which can be made). My phone was heating up with Froyo - it wasted energy in this way, but I...

    Root Anyone ever lost ability to make DINC talk to a PC?

    I have my default connection settings on "Disk Drive", but I get no response any more when I plug my phone into a PC. I've tried different USB cords, and still it's the same. I also tried the approach of resetting my phone, in every way possible (even wiped internal data). Is anyone aware of...

    Can music be played from phone to pre-digital stereo system?

    This question is less about Android than it is about anything which can send audio output through the headphone jack to another device, specifically a pre-ipod, pre music component stereo system for high quality listening. Rather than take the approach of looking for a hi-fi forum (I know...

    Help Call-in-progress screen lost during call - is there no way to recover this?

    I have a problem which has caused chronic embarrassment, and it is caused by the way Verizon has set up my UI management during a voice call. In their great wisdom, they allowed the possibility that this specific UI element (with the red cutoff switch, the speakerphone control and the keypad...

    Task Killers - do they really harm Android?

    I know this discussion seems to have ended a year ago, but if you're done rolling your eyes yet, I don't have the tinfoil-hat mentality for killing all open, or even background-running apps. I recently found a couple of very good reasons why I sometimes want to kill certain apps. 1: Car black...

    Tasker profile not changing In-Call volume - frustrated!

    I am happily using Custom Car Home when driving, but I have a bit of a conflict. While I find the In-Call volume to be a bit too loud when set on maximum in most situations, I won't be able to hear anybody unless it's set this way while it's in speakerphone mode and I'm behind the wheel. I would...

    Android won't move files between internal SD card and internal storage on my phone

    I had decided to make use of my 7 GB of internal storage by storing my audio books there (MortPlayer, if no other book apps will play from here) . I am finding that on my phone (HTC Droid Incredible), none of my file-browser apps, including popular Astro, are truly capable of moving files...

    Can the phone ringing splash screen (that dull green android) be changed?

    My Incredible is my very first smart phone. Before I made the transition, I used an Ericsson music slider, which supported themes, and free software enabled me to create my own fairly easily. Working with GIMP, I created custom highlights, animated bullet pointers, and screen backgrounds, which...

    Help App Manager SD (or not SD) apps mystery

    Before anyone refers me to the "Low on space" sticky, pleeeeze - I am not low on space! But I am interested in avoiding low space when I do that next large speech engine download, so I went and checked my stats under the Android SD card item. What I found there seemed impossible, it told me that...

    Can't figure out Google Reader Home menu, and can it read anything without pre-existing RSS?

    Hi, I've never used RSS feedware on my desktop PCs before, nor have I quite understood it, but now the idea of having news reports voice-read while I'm driving got me testing multiple apps which I then find out require Google Reader to function. I also found out that Google Reader is...

    Help Tasker is a dangerous beast!

    I can't find a Delete button here, oh well, sorry! I ended up with problems which only some GPS apps, and mostly Navigator seemed to be giving me, but it turned out to be my use of Tasker, where I had included an exit task to shut off GPS every time I exit an application. It turns out that...

    Help Why do some home screens take forever to call your apps list?

    I have been trying different home screens and car mode home apps, and the one difference between them all which really makes me go "HUH!" is the difference in time which they waste calling up your apps list when you want to place one on a screen. For example, HTC Sense brings up all...

    Root Help!!! Backup disaster!

    I went to much painstaking care to set up my screens so perfectly with just the right apps and widgets, plus custom menus and over 100 lines of tweaks with Tasker. It all took me more time than I can really stand to think about, and then my PAID backup app, MyBackup Pro, really stunk up the bed...

    Help Bad app trashed my Navigation maps - how do I get them back?

    Although I never had a major issue with free, stock-installed Navigation, I just had to satisfy my curiosity with other free navigation software on the Market. Sygic looked good, and purported to be free, but this I found out to be a lie (it's trialware) only after it consumed two hours...

    Help DINC no longer connects to PC, my settings say it should!

    My "Connect to PC" setting is on "Disk Drive", and my "USB Debugging" is enabled. I'm not aware of anything else I should have done after reading related posts, but two computers and three operating systems have no problem connecting other devices, drives, and they can access my sd card through...

    Help DINC no longer connects to my computer

    I hope this site hasn't abandoned the original Droid (HTC) Incredible (no "S") users who still get unprecedented annoyances or worse from the phones which are only half paid for through through the two-year contract. My issue is that my phone no longer connects to my PCs. The "default...
