    I'm back.

    After a long time away I am back...and happy. This morning I got an email from the forum about a topic I was subscribed too. It was really odd. I hope you all missed me. I missed you all.

    Best Bluetooth Toggle Widget?

    I recently got a great bluetooth headset for my android phone. I have been using the Battery Widget which has a long press option to then enable BT, but that still requires a click on the checkbox. I like to turn on BT when I need it. So AF users what's your favorite BT toggle widget? I...

    My Best New App is...

    This thread is contains the collective Android Forums group think of their best new app of the moment. If you post an app here, make it one you have used and would rate 4 stars or higher. (Potentially good apps can wait until the features have been added/bugs worked out that make them 4+...

    Double Battery Life with no work?

    So on the same day I got 1.6 I also got a replacement G1. I found my battery life stretched (with regular use) to nearly 32 hours with 13% left. I had done phone, web, ADC2 challenge reviews, video (watched), email, sms. I used to get maybe 16 hours. Any reason for the awesomeness you can guess?

    25 MB Free - That's right.

    My G1 had been having major force close issues with pretty much every app. It would take 90 second for the wallpaper to appear and then another 30-45 for all icons and widgets to appear on the home screen. And orientation had stopped working. All of this was getting frustrating. I had...

    How to use Google Voice with Android and Carriers

    PLEASE DON'T ASK FOR AN INVITE, IT'S NOT LIKE GMAIL. EXISTING USERS DON'T HAVE AN INVITE OPTION, ONLY GOOGLE CAN INVITE YOU. I wanted to talk with other Google Voice users about how they are using Google Voice with their Android. I am pretty new to both the concept of a single number and...

    Broken Market Update Tool - Widespread

    After a few apps had updates come out that I didn't get notified about I began wondering what was wrong with my phone. After a few well placed friends pointed me to an official Google Market message board. Market app 'my downloads' out of sync with installed apps preventing upgrade...

    Qik Video Streaming - working?

    I have been having some issues with the Qik app. It has worked then stopped. I uninstalled it, then re-installed it. Sometimes it just loads the camcorder app, not the qik app, which is really odd. I figure it is built using the camcorder api but still very odd. The customer service from...

    Accessories Single/Dual USB Car Charger Voltage?

    Not to thread spam - but I think this is a good question.... I saw a friend with an iPhone car adapter. It was a car adapter with a USB female plug. He grabbed his USB charging cable and could charge his iPhone. I wondered what the G1's tolerance is for this. Most single and dual usb...

    Beatdown Boxing

    I just bought Beatdown Boxing and it's a lot of fun. The opponents are challenging, each with a quirk, and I haven't figure them all out yet. If anyone has, post them. I like using the touchscreen for this game. I know the devs from the Sidekick days, and they make great games. This is...

    Orientation Animation

    I thought from the videos I had seen 1.5's window/orientation animation was "snappy" with a quick rotate. Right now when I rotate the screen it fades, waits a good .5 sec and does nothing, then the screen gets fuzzy and dark for another .5 sec and then it rotates. Am I missing something?

    Help After 1.5 Gmail stops fetching

    Gmail has stopped fetching my mail since the update. I have looked in the gmail settings but think maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Does anyone else experience such issues? Anyone have any fixes?

    New Power Manager?

    I was curious if anyone had used any tool like Power Manager. After getting 1.5 Power Manager (since I never updated it) no longer works. I do like the idea of setting my profiles based on battery level and if the device is plugged in/charging which regulate screen brightness and Wireless...

    Help Tasks in Google Calendar for Android?

    I just saw on my desktop PC "Tasks" (new) in Google Calendar and was curious if anyone knew if we can see these tasks somehow in our Android OS? I did check the amazing web app (which uses Gears!!) for Google calendar and it did NOT have the "tasks" option.

    Best IM App? Sidekick Quality.

    I just downloaded eBuddy to try it, but I was curious what users felt was the best IM app. I am not making this a poll, as new apps might pop up anytime. I should define that "Sidekick Quality" means fast, good notification, uses data not SMS, doesn't drain the battery, stays connected or auto...

    Hive Contact Manager Questions

    Anyone try it out yet? I has some interesting sync/import/export features. I am curious about it asking for my gmail info. More info about how this works would be great, as it might work as a great way to populate my contact db which is still suffering.

    Layout

    I am really using the top right area on the main page's layout, Latest Posts. The rest of the real estate is a bit of a waste..but I have some ideas: Hottest and Most Viewed might be better with a "since date" instead of since inception. New users is nice as is most posts, but those...

    Spammers

    So clearly spammers are an issue. They auto spam vBulletin (runs this Forum) software and while mods have to delete the user and the post we get email notified about the post, which means (I think) we have to visit the post or we no longer will get notified about future posts in that thread...
