    Help Feedback whistle in speaker...

    My Note 4 gets a loud whistle, like feedback you hear when microphones and speakers are on at same time. It does it when I launch Now Search by voice. So I called and AT&T shipped me a replacement phone this week. It does it too. ;-( So, I thought it must be one of my apps. So I reset the new...

    Order AT&T now, Trade-in (when online order), SAmsung rebate?

    According to the info on the Samsung rebate page, it's good if you order up to the 16th. Trying to order from At&T tonight, and ran into some snags. The online site did not say anything about a trade-in. Do you know...do I need to go to a store? I see no way on the online order site to do a...

    Jacksonville/St. Augustine -> lousey service?

    Was in Jacksonville this week. I found it hard to get data inside buildings, and in many places, on H data. Was I possibly experiencing an AT&T outage, or doeos AT&T service suck in this area? About to move down, and if the service is bad, I want to be sure to not extend my At&T contract.

    Load Last App isn't availabe on this device - > SGS III

    Not sure why Load Last App wouldn't work on an SGS III. Is anyone out there successful using that task on an SGS III? (I'm on At&T if it makes any difference.) I find myself switching between apps fairly often, and I'd like to be able to shake the phone to move back and forth. But i...

    Tasker, with Widget Locker Plugin

    I have a context in Tasker that has been working for quite a while that auto turns on my wifi and connects at home when I am there. I have added a task to that which uses the Widget Locker plugin to disable it, or unlock it, while I am at home. I have found it to be flaky. Sometimes it...

    Compass Type App-> Point to coordinates?

    I am traveling down to watch the Space Shuttle take off, and planning on taking pics. Problem is, I will be at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Center, and won't be able to see it lift off. Will see it only after it clears trees. May be overkill, but I'm wanting to maximize the sort amount of...

    Forward Timing

    I am wanting to change the ring time before forwarding. I have found this Wiki page about forwarding. I am successful making only one change: I can change it to forward within 5 seconds. Of course, the phone actually rings from the network for about 2-3 seconds before your phone actually...

    Help Tasker -> Constant WiFi/WiFi Near issues

    I posted in the Tasker Google Group on this some time ago. Haven't had much in replies other than others with the same problem. Tried again today, but thought I'd try here. I originally posted about WiFi Near problems on Android 2.2.1. I have since moved to stock 2.2 and am having same...

    I expected search to find something if this is an issue, so don't expect there hear much, but let's try. For the second time now, after installing some updated apps, my screen rotation has quit. Screeble doesn't even work now. I uninstalled the updated programs, to no avail. I am on...

    Calendar Replacement -> Add to mult. Cals.See

    Seems every calendar I find is quite limited. One thing in particular I want to be able to do is when I add an event, I on occasion want to be able to add it to multiple calendars. (I can put in participate and invite, but not directly add to 2 at once) Of course other things such as...

    Help Launcher Pro-> Twitter Widget-> No Authentication

    I have installed the twitter widget, and the friends widget from Launcher Pro. I keep getting this message to go into settings and set up my login credentials. I have done that, it says it is successful, but no Twitter info, and it keeps asking for me to do that. Any thoughts?

    Help Blue Tooth Lag...when Navigating

    I presume this is common but thought I'd ask. When I have navigation going and am wearing my blue tooth, or using the blue tooth speaker from my visor, the first one to two words do not make it through the blue tooth. For example, if it says "Turn right on main street", I'll here "right...

    Help Widget Locker-> BattStatt-> Not updating

    I have noticed a lot of folks use Widget Locker and have BattStatt on there. I like that, and have set that up. But I am finding that the battstatt is not updating, and is maintaining whatever setting it was at when I added it. Has anyone else seen that, and discovered a resolution?

    Accessories Why get a screen projectoer? If so, which?

    Reading how durable the Captivate screen is very durable, and it seems a screen protector is not needed. One reason a person may want one is for reduced glare, getting a non-glare type protector. But then there is the reduction of color. I've read very good review of the fairly expensive...

    Is 2GB Internal Mem as opposed to 16 a big deal?

    Another way to say it is, if I were to purchase a Fascinate as opposed to a Captivate, would that memory difference be a big deal for doing the various things, such as lag fixes, etc? Through Amazon, if moving to Verizon, there is a great deal, considering it would be two of us. But I don't...

    OT - Google Voice Problem

    I've posted this question in Google's Help area, but I almost never get replies on messages there. Trying here. When someone forwards to voicemail (Google VM), the recorded name that plays is not mine. I have recorded my name again; played it back on the WEB, and it is me; but if I dial my...

    New Idea for helping save battery...

    I have a friend that sent me this message today, which sounds like a great idea: I've been messing with setcpu and trying out some underclocking profiles. Underclocking while the screen is off as well as reducing the CPU power has gotten me 75% battery left after 8 hours. This is with...

    I have a 9 digit (all numbers) password, and I am absolutely positive I am entering it right on my phone, but it returns with message it is invalid. I changed it to text, and it worked. I changed it back to what I want, and it won't. Any ideas what the heck is the problem?

    When I am using the Launcher Pro launcher ( I purchased the PRO version), all of a sudden my menu button will not work...at all. If I change to TW Launcher it works fine. I tried a restore from a backup last night, didn't make any difference. I could uninstall and reinstall launcher pro, but...

    Panic Mode- Lost most contacts->Restore OK on phone, but when Synch, they are gone again

    Subject says most of it. I don't know how, but most contacts are gone. I did a restore from a Titanium backup on my phone, and they came back, and I breathed a sige of relief. But as soon as the phone synched, they were gone again. Apparently the contacts in Google Mail take precedence...
